For some reason, the affection/relationship stat on the NPCs in my game keep going down, even though I'm getting the message that it should have increased in the log. Which means I'm going to have to abandon this save, since I can no longer do anything but throw money at them to advance the relationships.
Same for me, it's a pain, you get them to love dark hair(which my character has) and their attraction goes down not up, it's very annoying at this stage, but the best we can do is make it known so that the dev can fix it, Please Fix this TotalFluke.
Most opinion modifiers decay as time passes. For example, the Offered Me A Job opinion modifier starts at +15, but that goes down 5 points/year. So after one year it's only at +10. However, attraction modifiers do not decay nor have I seen that happen. What may be happening is that calculating the attraction takes a long time so it only gets updated periodically. So when you change them to like something it forces the recalculation which then may be applying another reason for it to go down. So it's more that the info you were seeing before was out of date, rather than the effect of your change.
What's the deal with Felix the mobster? I always fight back, but they always come back.
Is there a way to make them get lost?
Not yet. Eventually there'll be a scene to get rid of him for good, but it's not done yet.
The game is interesting, pretty grindy and slow but that is ok because it's early still. A couple big things that I would say needs help is:
1. City hall should have info about when the next vote is happening for voting on what law to vote on next like there is about voting on enacting a law.
2. There needs to be more janitors positions.
3. Maybe a way to offer a starting bonus either specifically or generally when posting about open positions to try to attract more interest in positions.
4. Why can't you just choose what you like or don't like for our own character in a menu.
1. Talk to the city hall worker under "City Hall Info". There's a bunch of options there to get info about the status of the laws and elections.
2. Agreed. Will be in a coming version.
3. Pretty much everyone that's not tied to a job will apply for your positions if they qualify for them and they like them. People won't apply for it if they just started another job or have a permanent job.
4. Mostly as a game mechanic to make things a bit more challenging. It's too easy already to change people's opinions, and if you can just bypass the penalty of not having the opinion yourself, it becomes overpowered. Maybe it would make more sense to let you pick whatever you want and then make changing others opinions more difficult. But the end result would be the same.
Interviewing a singer, I lowballed her and refused her counteroffer:
Thanks, obvious bug. Will get that fixed.
