Havent played roundscape, but generally you're quite limited in amount of assholeness you can do. Just occasional sketchy decisions at best.

Quick question, I'm stuck on "The Scarlett Tithe" mission, I can't find the merchant. Where is he located?

One can hope our array of options will be extended in the future. I always love to make my characters into paragons of virute and selflessness.

Oh my those two things are pretty serious.

ShuviBeta Have you tried a fresh install or unzip?

cyberfreak I'll need to know your system specs on your mac if you don't mind! Just to rule out hardware not being up to par.

Joyvankek Redic can be a pretty good dude with the current options. Part of the narrative, this is a really mild spoiler btw, is that he's trying to start over and not fuck things up this time. That's why I am trying to avoid turning him into a "murder machine badass."

I got the general idea about the character from my playthru, I wonder if there will be some separate branches we will be able to push our knife eared protagonist on or maybe there will be just one "road" to follow when it comes to his character development.
Pretty good dude you say? Well I can go for that, for a change... I mean... Yeah... that's how I play my PCs alright...
From what I heard and got so far, I conclude we won't be having selfless grey/white knight, that in his quest to change his life will be pathologically altruistic. So, that's good.

Before I will fall my face first on my keyboard from exhaustion I will ask this.
Do you guys going for more choice orientated RPG in the future, or are you focused on more linear experience with illusory/cosmetic choices?

It's a bit of a spoiler but Redic... really wants to try again. Some shit happened in Einad (his homeland) and now he can never go back. Despite him longing for what he loved in Einad is gone now. On the thing of a single road, mainly you will be going down the same route but you can change how you get there. We will have an ending that will take in a lot of your choices actually, but the story... just for sheer logistics of being an indie studio, will end in the same place.

A credits and post credits roll (it might extent to be long enough to do post credits since we only have 8 people working on the fricken project hahaha) will have writing and artwork to show the impact of your choices.

But yeah he's trying to turn a new leaf. The shittier things you can do in the story, and there are some pretty shitty things... like in The Crimson Dervish' quest when you go to the light house you can lose -50 relationship with any companions you bring real fast haha. Those shitty things are sort of Redic's past coming through. We won't have him completely selfless or white knight though... grey... maybe, if you play him that way.




I think the weight of choices in PFF:A will surprise you. You can actually get companions killed, they can leave permanently, we'll have some different world states for things you've done. But for now, we can only focus on one linear story, which will be altered by your choices in the world.

In the future, we may attempt something broader and branching. I am currently actually... finished all of my writing tasks for this month about 14 days early. I am taking this time to actually add more impact to the choices currently in the game. This may not be in the next update, it might be in a mid-way update.

I am actually dabbling on getting back into drawing and I may do a side project CYOA blended with traditional RPG too. Probably going to do it on Godot whenever I get free time. It would be super duper choice based, but is just a free-time project. If it passes quality muster it could be put out under the TDD banner.


Gods, I am long-winded... TL:DR; maybe. We'll need more staff and resources to accomplish this.

Could you join the discord and chat with us in the bug finder? We'd like to help if we can. Our programmer will be on tomorrow again, it's late over where he is now so he'll probably be asleep soon.

Noted, I will be careful not to end up in the situation where I will kill off most of my party.
Btw. That reminded me

Of course these are just my thoughts, I get it's small team we talking about, so the load of work that it requires to make a quest needs to be tempered with reality. Many projects had fallen from being too ambitious.(RIP World of Darkness MMO, Hopefully VTM:B2 won't share your fater, nor will it be as buggy as the first game was.)

That does sound pretty cool to have roaming npc's to spice things up or even just roaming NPC's to keep interest up. What is an EQ though? I just know that as Everquest haha. But yeah we definitely have to tweak Whispering Brook a bit. I am working on post-quest state of things which I think might make it feel more worth it at the end. After that LONG ASS section, seeing the world and town actually change according to your decisions... I think that will help.

lol I think vampire will be pretty decently well off. I am a little worried they might tone down some of the best parts of the first game in order to make it more "acceptable" for a modern market... but yeah they have a lot more money now so it'll probably be really polished at least! I would be fine with bugs if they give us the old experience with some fancy graphics haha. I just hope they keep it fun and zany... sounds like they are screwing with the Malkavians though.

Equipment.

Indeed, that's why choices that matters, have consequences and affect world are the best parts, if not outright defining pars of an RPG genere if you ask me. It certainly would make that quest more engaging if there will be something at stake.

Considering that the writers are on the more... "progressive" side of things, it makes me worried, their tempering with malkavians is another warning sign. They have people who worked on original though, so maybe they will keep their ideology spreading happy elements of the team in check. We can only wait and hope.
On top of that V5 already screwed my favorite clan Tremere... They also turned Brujah from misguided idealistic/hot blooded clan into outright "anti"fa like clan. That's what White Wolf under Paradox has been doing. Eh, but I will keep my optimism or rather what remains of it and wait. Though I won't be pre-ordering just in case.

I would be fine with bugs if they give us the old experience with some fancy graphics haha.
Fully agreed, if they will manage to deliver story and that feeling of actually being the monster/vampire like the VtM:B did, then I will be happy.

Stupid question that I maybe shoudl've search before asking, but you know, I'm too lazy atm: what is the minimum patreon tier you need to be to have access to the patreon-only content of the game?
Or is any tier valid?

Crap... have we really not made that clear enough? Sorry about that, we should fix that up! But you get all patreon game content with the $5 pledge.
