VN Ren'Py SnowStorm [v0.8 BB] [GleenX Studio]

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

Just a guess but depending on how the Thorsten cliffhanger pans out, we might just dragged into that role on all paths anyway.

Am I the only one that thinks attack on Ragnar and possible attack on Torstein related alter ego of Nox. When Liz said you ordered Katja to go with raiding party to the Nox she was shocked. Can Nox be under control of a god/goddess like someone from the sandstorm?

Can Nox be under control of a god/goddess like someone from the sandstorm?

The Ragnar 'accident' could also been Candrid acting her sneaky self, and for all we know of yet, T-wolf might just have had a stroke or whatever.
Which admittedly would not prove Nox as innocent persay
Also wondering just who killed the Jarl. Candrid would be a possibility there too, but a lot of the whole mess could also been caused by some threat outside the village.
Thorsten business partners might be making a power-play or the christianized King wants their 'rogue' status gone.

As I see it, if what I assumed was correct Nox's alter ego took over her, assassinated Ragnar put it on another village which she knew they would attack then ordered Katja and other Raven's to kill the Jarl while others were busy with raiding and finally she pulled something on Torstein. If so, Nox knows nothing about it. Like I said I maybe reading too much into it. Maybe MC lied about the order to Liz and there was no alter ego after all.
So, I know it was too much assumption from a single scene but sooner or later we will have gods/goddess in the story and Nox is the most likely candidate for it.
We'll see.

The wrong order could also just been Katja's own doing?
With her, it would be anyone's guess if she'd do it because she personally likes to have MC along, or wants the competitor for Liz and a strange influence on Nox conveniently stabbed.

 

[LordGonti]

The possession idea might be right but while she clearly has beef with Torstein the way she was talking after the vision/raven warnings didn't give any hints that she has plans for him yet.

Assuming the possession, that could mean she's really not aware of actions done when whatever rides her is in control.
But as an argument against her being unknowingly controlled:
She seems clearly aware from where MC has arrived now.
Also damn: Things could get somewhat nasty in the Raven Lair if she is only certain that the MC kid will be some ChosenOne™ but she can't be sure if that refers to her kid with him or any other child we might father.

Downfall of communism, again.

I forgot I wrote that, lol.
I've adjusted it, the MC will now wait for her when the sun is at the northeast section of the daymark. Good luck to him.

I made a search on the words minutes/hours in the rest of the script just for safety measure, and the other misuses were mostly during astrid/mathilda's carpenter event. Seems like I forgot the context at the time I wrote that event.

The remaining times, it was used in MC thoughts or from narrative, so nothing wrong there.

Anyway, I wish this was the only thing wrong with the historical context... ^^'
Many things don't exactly fit: the language, the clothes, the cleanliness...
Often by choice or by constraint, it's an AVN after all.
That said, time measurement is an easy thing to adjust, without harming the attractiveness of the game, so I'll pay more attention about that next time. Thanks for the remark.

But let's be honest, does someone really care about time when watching her? I don't believe it

I'll stare at you for HOURS.

Wow talk about going above and beyond the call of duty! Thanks for adjusting it and even taking the time to review your whole script. For me the story definitely feels strong and engaging, can't wait to see it progress. Also I'm really sorry I was definitely looking at the girls!! It's just that the story was so engaging that's why I noticed it xD

Loving the new changes with the skill checks and side girls. Only one tiny thing. I'm currently on a raid as part of the Bloody bear faction. I'm supporting Matilda while handing her arrows to make it quicker and she's suddenly shot at. I can grab her to pull her out of the line of the shot, except only an (need 14+ int) option is given. Is a dex score not more fitting here? Though I can understand it might be a balance thing if too much checks are dependent on str/dex.

Don't choose that option, choose the one for protecting her with the shield, it will give you the DEX option

I think there is a dex(?) check for shielding her if you picked another version of supporting her, instead of passing her prepped arrows.
Maybe an oversight or maybe its so you wont get stuck with a stat you don't have raised, as passing her arrows already was int?

You need to anticipate the path and think quick for that, closer to int stat. You can cover her with your shield then you can use your dex skill.

Intelligence is a very generic adjective covering different aspects. In the game, it can also works as "awareness" , "observation", "reason", "quick thinking". The MC got aware an arrow was flying to Mathilda's direction and was quick to chose the adequate solution (and even got some boobs feel at the same time, yup, a genius ^^!) .
As others said, there is also an alternative way to protect her if you don't have the right skills. Most of the time, I try to give at least 2 possibilities to achieve your feat, sometimes even 3 (like Yrsa's haunted ruins event), so that you don't get stuck by lacking one stat. That said, BB path might need more INT, it's a bit low atm. Will try to give them some in future events

As expected from those brutes.

 

[GleenXstudio]

Even though I agree with you, your render seems off here. She does not look like Astrid enough to stare at her HOURS.

Kindness will be my downfall

Edit: Holy moly, it's not a bonus it's from next chapter.

 

[Malekai]

Thanks a lot for all the advice guys! Going for another playthrough right away.

Thanks GleenxStudio it makes perfect sense when you describe the situation like that. Unfortunately I wasn't watching for any arrows because......huhuhu

 

[Sébastien Argeles]

Bonjour tout le monde, j"ai eu un trace back sur Snow Storm, quand j'était dans le clan des Loups après que les ours sanglants reviennent en chaloupe avec le coffre d'or. Comme ça moins de gens auront se bug. C"est une belle histoire très bien écrite,
de magnifiques personnages ( surtout les Femmes phisyquement ) bravo continué vous faites du trés beau travail.

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

Btw, why the fuck no one talks about how the magnificent the songs are in the game? And do we have soundtrack list or something like that?

Am I the only one that thinks attack on Ragnar and possible attack on Torstein related alter ego of Nox. When Liz said you ordered Katja to go with raiding party to the Nox she was shocked. Can Nox be under control of a god/goddess like someone from the sandstorm?

While nothing is certain until GleenX clarifies with future updates, I certainly hope not.

Tbh, I think given the whole "baby is the chosen one" arc going on with her, having her be the possessed I think will just deflate that storyline.

If anyone is possessed, I think the more likelihood may be it's someone like Katja, due to the following;

- She tells MC that it's Nox's order to go on that raid but Nox is clearly shocked upon hearing it from Lizgard.

and even if we dismiss the above,

- Katja when telling MC of Nox's "instructions" states that MC and Raven's mission on this raid is to help Jarl Harek (not sure whether I have the name right lol) and prove the Jarl's innocence in Ragnar's murder.
However when they land, MC notices Katja and the Ravens just murdering and pillaging just like all the rest.

So something doesn't feel right about Katja's behavior, with her words contradicting her actions.

With Katja, there's also another scene which does raise my suspicions a bit; her hunting event which got inserted with this rework.
MC discovers her slacking off, and when he approaches the round ritual like altar (with the hare) with the skull, trying to touch it, she tells him saying "Don't touch the skull" and tries to change the subject.

My guess? Katja discovered the weird altar and got somehow drawn to it, and put up a sacrifice (could be a number of reasons as to why), resulting in the whole possession.
Though I'm not sure I can account for a single person possessed or not being responsible for both Outcasts and Draugrs.
Because while outcasts the player encounters them with all the respective clan members (dependent on the clan chosen, Astrja, Yrsa, Katja), Draugrs, it's oddly seems specfic to the Bears (discover engraved monument with Yrsa, explore the ruins the Yrsa). Hmmmm


Also, did GleenX say at anytime that there will be another possessed this time around?
While having someone be possessed I wouldn't say is the worst thing, ngl. I think it might be better to just not have anyone be possessed in order to keep the game fresh not being reliant on it this time around.
I mean, iirc Sandstorm had possession, and if this game has possession also, it's almost saying this will be the staple trope for GleenX's entire EraStorm trilogy (better to change things up than make it predictable).

But I guess we'll see.

Following are my MC's stats with all 3 clans path after going through the rework:

BB


DR


WW


Are these stats....normal?
Seems like Dex for my WW playthrough is as low as BB's Int stat.
