Does someone know how you join the Mounties? I’m a bit of a dummy lol; does it involve leveling up your physical stat to 3 or something?
“Hunter: The Reckoning — A Time of Monsters” is out now! Topple the vampires from the streets below!
It’s… a bit more complicated than that. Let’s just say it involves building trust with the right people, and asking the right questions.

I think this is the part that really turns me off the game tbh. There just isn’t an ending that I consider good. Still, while its not my cup of tea, it is in my opinion a very well written game. Kinda similar to my opinion on abercrombies first law books which are definitely good books, but really not for me.

NGL, I’m a big fan of Abercrombie’s writing, so this is still a compliment for me.

It was intended as one. His writing is very good

This ended up being too easy, so I revamped the challenge:
The protagonist is completely useless (Physical, Mental, and Social are set to -1000)
The protagonist will always be half-dead and in a state of mental turmoil (Health/Willpower will be hard capped at 1)
The protagonist will not be allowed to have money or food (Money/Food will be permanently set to 0)
The protagonist will not be allowed to have a creed (on the fine print)
All epilogues are covered in multiple different playthroughs, with the best results for those applicable.

My education in political philosophy and history basically used Marxian to describe an analytical approach to economic theory, so you’re looking at base and superstructure and examining the class structures and so on. Marxist would be used to describe the revolutionary ideology and people adhering to the ideology. So like, Marcus Rediker is a Marxist historian, Eric Hobsbawm is a Marxian historian. But even to say that is already being a little too cute about labels because when Rediker is writing about the Middle Passage he isn’t ending with slogans and calls to revolution.
Of course, nobody outside academia ever gives a fuck. I once subbed for a high school class where, I am not exaggerating, the test they were studying for had the definitions of communism and capitalism as communism is bad, capitalism is freedom. Those were the correct answers and any other answer would be marked incorrect.

Whack. My education in political philosophy and historiography just used “Marxist” for both. Maybe it’s a regional or preferential thing?
Probably a preference of the professors involved, and then their students do it too and they teach it to their students. And then some of them get weird about the distinction for no reason because they’re human and some people are just weird about stuff no matter how smart and educated they are.
Like I had one professor who, as far as I can tell based on nothing whatsoever, believed that the Alexander scholars Bosworth and Hammond had this decades-long rivalry and feud. Another professor, who actually knew both men, was like “No I’ve hung out with them both at conferences before, what the fuck.”
With that said, I do tend to find myself saying (even if only in my own thoughts) “Marxian” if I am talking about analysis of economic conditions. And “Marxist” if I am thinking about throwing off our chains and uniting. Just like how I normally will just say “post-modern” where I know at least one person who says “Foucaultian” which is frankly a mouthful and I never know whether to pronounce the T…

This is what happens when you let PragerU decide your curricula. Once these freaks are out of power we really need the DoE to nut up and impose some proper national educational standards. Goes for everything really, ‘states rights’ have gotten out of hand and been used to line the pockets of private entities at the expense of the well-being and future of real children.
Edit: just realized this isn’t the politics thread lmfao, oops. Uh… copyright lawyer hot.

But no, seriously, if you want to totally screw with all the people who simp for Kat and Welles, reveal in Wars that the fiancee out in the country is a Certified F.R.E.A.K.

Kat and Garret actually fuck and Welles has had the opportunity and turned it down. The Betrothed has had nothing but time and lurid novels to develop Highly Specific Tastes.

How does garret fuck? wouldn’t that reveal a couple of things about her that she’d want kept secret?
There’s really no hope of this thread ever getting back on topic, is there?

Suspiciously well for a cavalry officer 
To bring this semi-on-track as a part of the Cataphrak-verse… what is everyone’s favorite build so far? I’ve been playing as Physical 1 Mental 2 Social 2.

I’ve been doing the same, and then training with Mandy and FdL to get both up to 3.
I start with the ID and Food so I don’t have to worry about money or food a lot. Jangles gives me a gun and Zheng a pocket knife, so my only real expense is buying a flashlight.

One of the things I tried really hard to do was to make every potential build viable, even the ones that wouldn’t otherwise make sense.
That’s another reason I kept the stat system so mechanically simple. Fewer potential permutations means fewer chances to fall into the trap of rolling a character which renders the game unwinable.

What are all the potential endings we can get? I got Unmaking on my first run, and I’m not sure what the others are or how to get them.
Unmaking has three potential permutations. There are also four other possible endings you can get. I think at least one beta tester is making an ending guide which may be up shortly.
Speaking of fan content. It’s been three days and I already have fanfiction.

Somehow if I’d had to bet which character would be the first to become the subect of fanfiction, I wouldn’t have picked Wil, even though there would be plenty worth writing about Wil.
