Original:
Should you have paid him more? Did someone buy his loyalty? You should have kept her alive to interrogate, you muse.
The next evening you wake to the disaster of your home. It has been some time since you have disposed of bodies by yourself; you do not relish the task. You never find out who Maeve’s compatriots were, but you dispose of them just the same. Thankfully, your connections with the criminals of the city are able to aid you in thi
Suggestion: In the first paragraph, first sentence, there are pronoun disagreements. If you have Maeve, it should be: Should you have paid her more? Did someone buy her loyalty?
Original:
“Just a charismatic mortal. And quite tasty.”
“Ihe he was just a mortal, why did you kill him?”
“It was…unavoidable,” you reply. You have no interest in letting this line of questioning go any further.
Suggestion: In the second line, there is a bit of a mispelling. “IIhe he was just a mortal, why did you kill him?” I believe the first word should be “Then he was…”
Original: “Then I shal pray for you, sister,” she says.
“Thank you.” You sense the opportunity to ask another question.
Suggestion: ‘shal’ in the first line should be ‘shall’
Volumes 1-4, yes. It’ll be just like the beta for you.
That depends. Did you register your purchase with choiceofgames.com? If cog.com knows that you own Memphis, then you should be able to restore the Memphis IAP inside COV. If not, there’s a long and complicated way to transfer it yourself that we haven’t documented, or you could just send in your receipt and we’ll log it on cog.com.
Sure, but I’d prefer to add another forward-#option than an exit-#option, so the conversation ends naturally. What else would you have liked to ask Fragalà here?
Buying bonds in a vacuum won’t really make you money. To speculate on bonds, you’d have to buy them at distressed prices, and then have someone willing to buy them at a higher price. At the moment that you’re suggesting here, the enterprise isn’t distressed, so there’s no opportunity to buy them at a lower price.
Copying a manuscript is tedious, exhausting work. You don’t necessarily have to speak/read Latin in order to do it—you’d just be copying letters, after all. But with the player’s other obligations, it would block out a decade of the game. So, basically no.
That’s an interesting question. I need to revisit the Lore stat in St. Louis anyway.
If the 1848 option doesn’t fire, could the character still ask a more basic question about how Fragalà found Italy under Adonis? There’s a similar one question for Chiara and it works here but it avoids the leper inquisition.
I take your point but like with the Freemen Bank, could buying a few bonds allow the player to get some dividend payments? Not ‘a killing’ - I feel the character recoiling at that - but an income off the interest, that maybe changes over time?
By the way, I found an achievement about making a profit off the Memphis bonds. Is there a way to do it or is it just old code? I know getting Ashmore’s help doesn’t trigger it.
It’s presumed that you’re doing this in the background. That’s what things like $wealth and $income are approximating. I only want to get into details when there’s outsized risk (the gold/silver arbitrage in Colorado, the outcome of the Spanish-American War), a political/narrative point to be made (the Memphis municipal bonds), or a grift.
I’m going to look at this again. Basically, there’s a way to negotiate a good price on distressed bonds, and then later sell them at a higher price than you paid for them.
Though you didn’t ask, now the Fake Cure option is improved by verba oblivionis and having University as your $stl_enterprise.
And I’ll write a “nurse the sick” option.
I’m not sure what your point is here. How would bringing up Harding blackmailing Partridge convince Bailey to not demand a debt from you?
However, I’ve just implemented the “checkDebt” function here, so you can trade a debt you hold over someone else for the right to reside in one of these territories.
Sorry, Esther who?
The Greens are Protestant. They’d probably spit in your face if you offered.
If you recall, there was a description of the book when you received it. You can’t “read [it] no problem.”
And while you do recognize some of it, your paleography is underdeveloped. It will take you months if not years to decipher the text.
Hello everyone. I’ve only played choice of the vampire once, that was a long time ago to be honest. I’m looking forward to playing the hole thing from start to finish. but when I played it it seemed as if every chance I get at romance is always doomed. is this still the case even after all these years or has things changed?
I’m not explaining myself very well, English isn’t my first language. I mean to say, that like how one can demand favours from Samantha over Wilson being turned and from Carothers, sometimes in his last scene for solving the Memphis puzzle, one could do the same when Bailey demands a debt. Sort of like: ‘Oh you’re residing in my land.’ ‘But Senator, remember that business in Memphis, could we call it even?’ A higher ranking vampire, particularly one with some guts and arrogance, could even make a veiled threat like one can in the Tribune selection scene, consequently provoking an explanation of the perfidy. Sort of again like “I did you this favour, do you really need reminding, kind of thing?”
Does that make more sense?
Estefania de Rios. I anglicised it and confused everyone.
Fair enough. Laughed out loud there. Would an arrogant priest still be able to offer and get chased out with a broom handle?
Okay I was being a little hyperbolic. I’m guessing the ability to decipher it depends on having high lore levels. Even so, having 3 lore sometimes doesn’t allow one to read the script in full. Perhaps a bug? But could there be a scene where, since the character can understand some of it, some text comes up explaining what has been drawn from the book? Sort of a half way between understanding it in full and not at all.
Also, back on those wonderful debts, Bailey offers one for protection from West. I get an acceptance of that is sort of game over, leaving one to put one’s feet up and scream into baby prams, or whatever it is vampires do for fun, but could it be explored a bit more? Of course it’ll be interesting to find out a bit more about the Bailey plot in due course and put together some of those loose ends, that otherwise just seem to accumulate.
Love is cruel Meero. That said, there’s some options for flirtation with some vampires that, as of the end of St Louis, haven’t ended in complete heartbreak.
Hi! I need spoilers. I don’t think I’ve encountered Appollo trying to slay Dido in my game ever and she always turns up in the third book. What is happening here? Does he kill her in book 3?
As mentioned, there’s a “humanity” stat (not visible) for Apollo. This doesn’t necessarily mean “be mean” to him but I would say put him in situations where he does something against “his humanity/humanity in general”. For example, don’t help with gathering “refreshments” for the gatherings, encourage him to kill his daughter (if you manage to find out/ask about her). Get him to be a wolf instead of a shepherd.
Also, we don’t see her death “on screen”. He tells us he killed her.
I just want to say that you lost my GF as a supporter for any official CoG. Why? She was trying out Choice of Vampire, and while I understand having a ‘game over’ sequence, if someone cheats with stats, etc. going the Parish route. In this case, she glitched her way into it. How do I know? I was there.
I’ve played through the game twice now, and twice i’ve been killed by West while confronting him. Is there a way to avoid this? Kill him instead, maybe?
