For those who think it's a grind... Each step in Cassandra's house or the dorm is a part of the story and the corruption. It is the game. If you don't like that you're outta luck... However!
If what you don't like the Battles you can either disable them in the cheat menu or make them so easy that they're inconsequential.
The game is supposed to illustrate the shift in power by showing that in the battles too, but if you keep that in mind you're not losing much.
To make the battles easier you can do the following:
- Save your game
- Go to: c:\users\%username%\appdata\locallow\pyorgara\nd
- Copy the save game you just made
- Upload it to:
You must be registered to see the links
- Modify it
- Download it
- Overwrite your existing save in the \pyorgara\nd folder
The interesting values in (5) are:
Warning: I would not advise you to change anything you don't understand what is unless you wanna destroy your game progress immediately or down the road
YOU_Energy : (9999)
YOU_Money : (9999)
YOU_Blackmail : (9999)
YOU_EnergyMax : (9999)
YOU_Influence : (999)
YOUR_InfluenceBase : (999)
HER_Influence : (45) <- How much influence she has next battle
HER_InfluenceBase : (45) <- How much influence she normally starts with
YOU_numCardStartingHand : (6) <- Sets the number of cards you have each round of a battle
If you're about to win and you're not ready yet then reduce: YOU_Glory a bit
I chose to have 6 of the minus influence cards from both the finance and education sector. In other words 6x Generous and 6x Stick in the Wheels. That plus having the upgraded whore which can give you 3x2 cards per battle and you're pretty much guaranteed winning before she has her turn.
I have to make it very clear that this is as good as an autowin method of doing things. You should only do this if you wanna focus on the events outside the office, but still see the development in the office.
Doing this battles literally took less than 10 seconds for me, but I still got to see the changes.
