I’m usually very cautious in games, but I’ve been delighted to embrace playing more riskily in Pathologic 2 - even though it ended up with me failing miserably a great deal. Somehow it feels appropriate for the character, not just me being bad at the game (though it’s the latter as well). Brilliant game for many reasons!
@NMCannon You can also create checkpoints or multiple saves using the relatively new checkpoint code. When I was first doing save points, I used the method of copying every variable, the same way that Stars Arisen does - but the new command makes it much easier with less workload, and there’s less potential for bugs.
I used the new code for Royal Affairs - if you search for “save_checkpoint” at the link you should be able to see how it’s done. For Honor Bound I’m doing more complicated stuff with enabling players to keep named save slots, but the Royal Affairs method is pretty straightforward - it just enables players to roll back to the start of the chapter if they want. I have an option in the stats page where they can do that whenever they want.
