I understand Choice of Magics might be slightly delayed, so I thought I’d post some hints to help people get the most out of the demo. Here are some things to try that can extend the life of the first chapter of Choice of Magics.
Did you try…
…all three choices for the opening choice? Each leads to a different path with its own items and worldbuilding.
…turning the Inquisitor into a tortoise? (No reason.)
…getting the golem permanently on your side? This is easier if you’ve lured it closer, then immobilized it. What would alert it to your presence? Do it right, and the golem is yours for the rest of the game.
…animating Noodles? Noodles is fun and will do stuff until the end of the chapter.
…not animating Noodles? If there’s no disaster, you get some extra time at the end to explore the academy. But be careful, because something you did earlier might have already threatened the stability of the academy.
…the three rooms, Laboratory, Arena, and Auditorium? Like the opening choice, each comes with its own worldbuilding and items.
…getting those dragon eggs in the crow’s nest? You might want one later.
You did an awesome job in base of demo alone. My only complaint is the charisma clothing is far uglier than the sorceress sexy black dress Elvira style… Dress like my gramma is not charismatic anywhere lol
Yeah, and It is stat wise charismatic but in reality is not glamorous or anything. And saying is like my grandmother well the attractive of the dress drop to hell. No girl would say oh is sexy. Remember me my grandmotherI like the pendant even if i missed a cat choice. I chose fox
I am holding off on playing the demo…To me this game is a “must-buy” anyway… So I would rather start playing the full game directly instead of playing the demo and letting the wait kill me
If it is releasing on Steam today, Google should be no problem either. Jason’s update was specific about Apple. So maybe there is no problem with Google…
Killing the Inquisitor mostly decreases Church relationship and Tal relationship, decreasing the chance of Sainthood and Tal romance/side quests and nudging the story toward a darker protagonist. There is at least one RO who thinks blasting people and swordfighting is just badass, but it’s not Tal. There is also at least one minor ending that is only enabled if you leave this Inquisitor alive. The main advantage of killing him is increasing the skill you used to do so. If Tal has the luxgladius, there are a few situations later in which she can get you out of a tight spot by using it. There are also perks for both of you being armed with them; it’s the only way to get an item called the Fateshaper early, for example.
You can get an egg by looking for the most valuable thing with your Divination, then flying up or sending Noodles up to the crow’s nest. It can’t hatch earlier than Chapter 3, when someone can unexpectedly prove to be a dragon enthusiast and help you. There are also easier opportunities for hatching, later than that.
