chapter 2

But for the nationalist path it’s
Character Creation
prologue

there is no error just skips it and there is a socialist path you get chapter 1. I also checked the startup scene and it all right there, heres the code

 I limp to the train as i head to Hall of Chairman Rufus. I remember the story my granddad told me about it.  it was rebuilt after the  formation of the New people's Commonwealth. the chairman moved into the upper levels. He then allocated the lower levels to the ReichsHall
 I ran up the dusty steps of the ReichsHall, my boots muddy from my walk in the slums. the noise from the Grand hall is tremendous. that was when my deputy ran up, "Senator Gray the debate has been going on for 15 minunites, get in there"

   It is REICHSMAN Gray, David, A reichsman is nothing like those American Senators

   "But sir you have the same position" my deputy says as i turn around. "did you hear what happend to Marcus schmit, david." 
   i then dash to the Grand HalL only to walk into the most heated debate i seen in a long while.
   all i can see there are plentude of men are yelling about something called roman confederacy.
   *Label Social_Roman
   "they shot our men" one man yells anouther counters him by saying "we came into their land armed"
   he pauses to take a sip of water as i walk to my seat, then he begins once more "to them we are just armed barbarians"

   But before he can say anouther word, his opponet said one little word "so".
   the man begain again "So would you do the same?"

Could you check if you have any *ifs etc that end in a *finish ir cause the game to skip ahead?

Two things

  1. thanks for replying so fast
    2)could you explain a bit more, I don’t quite understand what you mean.

By the sound of it I’d say you either have some qualifier at ch1 that cause the game to skip the entire chapter, or…
You end your chapters with finish?

yes I do end my chapters with finish, would that be the problem, also I’ll edit the post so you can see the code if that would help

Except for this I cannot find anything odd in your code
While this is not supposed to be capitalised

We can check your code.
But as said. This sounds as if the variable/command you use cause the game to skip from one finish to the next

Found it:
The entire content of chapter1 is indented and depends on this if, in other words marcus has to be dead for this chapter

Also, on a sidenote cause the link wont open atm:
Moritz would be a better name for the guy. Take my word as a german.
