I've just noticed that right at the start of the game, it states that all characters are involved in 'consensual' sexual activities. Isn't that false? I mean yeah, you can go that route, and my preferred route is to be a 'nice' guy as far as possible, but you can also be downright evil and rape and torture all your slaves, so how can that kind of sexual behaviour be considered 'consensual'?

Every character is AI or art generated.
They can be whatever they want.
I got personal guarantees from every single one that they took part consensually....

Love the game but having trouble keeping my head above the surface. I always pick the hardest difficulty settings when I play games so I guess thats why in this case haha.

Anyone got a good strat for surviving the first hundred days on grimdark, no points when creating the PC, deadly world and dengi invasion turned on? I tried the stuff in the wiki walkthrough but man, having those raiders all over the city map is a pain in the a**. Not to mention the constant attacks that drop my gardens and steal my cash.

a quick simple tip, ungroup your followers everyday before midnight and make sure they are on guard duty + captain, so that they can defend against the attacking bandits

It's just a disclaimer for legal purposes,

Kinda like how I've totally been 18 years old since I was 13 :cool:

It's not terrible -- the change logs are up to date -- but yeah, this game gets frequent enough updates that invariably most of the wiki is out of date. To make it worse, the wiki actually tries to obfuscate many of the game play elements. I usually just look at the code, but not everyone knows their way around sugarcube/twine (or code in general) to decipher what is going on.

Would it work as a disclaimer, when it's pretty obvious to anybody who plays the game for 30 minutes, that that is not the case?

The internet didn't even exist when I was 13 or even 18 for that matter. The only way you could get porn, was to go and buy it in person. And back then it was all softcore porn anyway in the UK.

That's why it's a disclaimer for "legal purposes".

Has little to do with facts. It's just covering your ass so that some mom having a fit having discovered their kid playing it can't sue.

Roger. I'm using that auto unassign setting but I only have like 3 guards atm so they are still swarming the place in four times out of five.

I did get some decent revenue from hunting. Gonna try gemstones and gold next. Combat is still too hard except for the easiest of fights.

What I would do is hire an expensive merc like Ayden or Felix, take Bud, Jack or Loren, or maybe the Cultist Monk, give them whipping cane, and just go on a capturing spree. Whipping cane last hit is guaranteed capture on all enemies that can be captured, which means if you encounter a group of four, that's four possible captives. Selling around two to three captives even in quicksell already covers Ayden's, Bud's, Jack's, or Loren's daily upkeep. Cultist Monk is a convict so $0 salary. With a hulking merc like Ayden who has WEGA armor and high enough stats that advance tactics enemies will prioritize him, capturing is made easy and I can go for multiple fights a day, so I may be spending a lot to pay Ayden daily, but he brings me so much more money in return. Note that with Dying World, his ammo pack will be disabled, but that's okay. He just needs to hit bandits with his whipping cane powerstrike. Bud, with enough Affection, will retain his Ammo Pack even at <9 prosperity situations. You will eventually earn enough money and influence, that with a $25,000 loan from the Crystal Heights bank, you can build a workshop. After which, workshop manufacturing will make sure you will not lack for money.

I could also get 30 points in the Divine Juices in Raikan, enough to open the first quest/rumor there which makes Connor available for hire in Warrior's Hall, hire Connor, take his weapon and duraplate armor away, fire Connor, and now I have duraplate armor.

Ayden is already ready for the quartermaster title stats-wise when you get him so make sure he is not an active follower at midnight. He can be Captain of the Guard and Quartermaster.

Do not forget to hire a nurse. Aiko is good starting one. Give her the nurse title and, since she will probably be your solo nurse for a time, do not give her any other job.

Do try the gemstone route. Test it to see if it is viable enough for an early run. I keep saying I will test it but real life keeps getting in the way the whole year. I am a whole lot happier but I also have a whole lot less free time.

I would push back the Dengi Invasion in the game settings page 3 to around 2000 days to be honest. You will not be ready on time.

Raana vets, I need help on a religious question for my run.

I am assuming the Westside Abbey Catholic Church is part of the Christianity faction, are the buffs like +25% chance modifier(seal of virtue) active on the player or just the girls sent there?

And are there any questlines or random events spawning from doing so?

Yes it's the Catholics and yes it's just the girls sent there.

From doing what? Activating the buff or sending a girl there?

There is a random day-end event that may increase the corruption of all girls sent to the abbey. That's about it, IIRC.

Anyone figure out how to raise beauty above 90 yet? One of the new girls had a trait called "superficial" that had an interaction bonus for 80+ player beauty, but also one for 100+, and the attractive player trait now also bumps your possible maximum up to 120, so...

Plastic surgery, man.

It used to raise Charm up to 85, now it just raises beauty up to 120 (if attractive).

The real question you should be asking is how you're going to raise Charisma in a fresh game now.

edit: Also, in case you haven't looked at her traits in a while, Adrienne should also have Superficial now.

Is there a way to raise MC CHA?

Michelle got it in my "update" game. :-(
