I just did it by spamming archers and man at arms. Combined with all my troops and the mercenaries I had over 6000 troops witch is over two thousand of what he had. The only one who died is that old knight that wanted to court his crush.
The author said at one point that they might give us a chance to save important characters later on when many of us complaint that, if they are going to die anyway why should we bother with recruiting them.
I cannot bet on anyone in tournament nor can I buy weapons from the smith, even though I have money, is this an oversight or am I doing something wrong?
Can a female MC and up maried the king and give him an heir before he and up die at the end of the game?
No you canāt marry the king
I think thatās a good idea for future HG jobs. The topic of incest may be a delicate one for some, but as long as it is well constructed narratively and agrees with the logic of the text, we can expect interesting results with ROs. Needless to say, the clearest example of this is the Game of Thrones saga.
Hello everyone, who can you romance? oh and can I kill this thing in the cave when I go hunting for something wicked after the fallen star?
Soā¦at the summitā¦i completely ignored my spy master.
Soā¦ even though it was stated that i am the only one get out of there, nothing is said about her. Not even if she is alive or dead.
Yes. Equip the sword made from the falling star when you hunt something wicked.
How to buy from the smithy or bet on the tournament?
I had a really good time with itā¦
Up until I got killed by the boy that was left by the creepy cultist guys, completely out of left-field (do I not have guards?!) Then saw only a āPlay Againā screen.
It was an amazing game, but that just felt insulting and left me very bitter.
Especially seeing as how, even with hindsight, I donāt see anything wrong with the choices I made up until that point (interrogate the cultist, bring in the boy to hear his side, decide against murdering the kid off of the demands of a man who is clearly evil. Kid immediately kills me.)
Started up hoping to Load a save when I reached the town screen, but found all that precious progress was deleted. Then decided, no, I donāt think I want to play again.
Iām sorry if thatās harsh, I really donāt like leaving bad reviews on choice games, especially one with this much effort.
And really, the entire game was amazing and I loved every page of it. But not enough to overlook something so glaring as an out-of-nowhere instant death, equivalent to ārocks fall and everyone dies,ā and be expected to restart all the way from the beginning.
I think you ignored the cultistās warning. He warned you that if you donāt kill the kid, the kid will kill you. You died because your fighting skill is potato.
He vaguely warned āooo, if you donāt do what we say, youāll die!ā
Which is what every villain says. Usually, when a villain makes this kind of ultimatum, it means the protagonist is in for a fight.
Not an instant death based off a single skill-check.
Yesā¦but what about guards?!
Mechanically, itās a bad idea to have life-and-death be based on a single skill check, and not decisions.
Realisticallyā¦I have guards. Keeping me from dying is their job.
If you are moderate at fighting, the guards will be able to help you. But since you are dead from the single attack the guards canāt do anything.
Ohhā¦and btwā¦if you discovered the identity of the cultist, you wonāt be taking to him alone or agree to bring the kid. But if you knew the identity and yet agreed to call the kid, then you deserved that death.
Also, you can dream about that death.
So guards need their charge to do most of the work before they can do anything.
Sounds like cruddy guards.
And again, life and death should not be decided by a single stat check.
I wasnāt alone. He was pretty much on trial. There were guards right there.
Why, exactly? Because I wanted the full story? Because I wanted to make an informed decision, like a responsible ruler?
Or because I decided to not do what the crazed, obviously evil cultist told me to do? Was killing the kid the objectively correct decision, because he told me to? Because when evil cultists tell you to do something āor else,ā then your hands are pretty much tied?
Look, you donāt need to defend the game so vehemently. If thereās a good reason for the game design decisions, the author can defend it themselves. If there isnāt a good reason, then they can learn from it.
I was leaving my review based off my experiences. If I want to read any rebuttal at all, Iād rather see it from the person who actually wrote it.
The only thing Iāll personally criticise is the save system. As for that seen it self, I donāt think thereās anything wrong about it. The boy is about 10 years old and it would appear that the boy is also unarmed. There were probably guards nearby, but not so close to do something about it immediately. Furthermore, who wouldāve guessed that a knife would suddenly appear in the boyās hands? Given that strange turn of events, the protagonist Will need to hold the boy off until guards Gets close enough. I guess we just have to face the hard truth that some people like certain stuff, while others donāt.
Come to think of it, there is another scene in the game thatās exactly like this one. Itās the bastard brother scene.
If I recall correctly to the one time I decided to bring the kid there there were some moments where the guards could have noticed that something isnāt right with the kid and maybe they should have become more protective over their charge so I think you have a point there. But in a way @Kalpana also has a point: it would have been smarter to not heed an evil and crazy persons words rather just execute him especially when we canāt get much sensible information out of him, his and his companions deeds should have been enough reason to do that.
Now in that scene I think the guards might have been ordered to keep their distance bc MC didnāt want too many people to hear the bastard brothers story and by the time things escalated or did begin to get suspicius (with the ābrotherā moving closer to MC) it might have been too late to reach MC in time. Just a theory.
Can you give me more details about what happened there? For example, did you take her with you or was she already there? Was it your first or second time at the Summit? Did you have to fight your way through?
I checked the code and there doesnāt seem to be anything wrong with it. Those options are, though, some of the few which can only be selected if you actually have money on your treasury.
Usually I let people go into debt when purchasing stuff so as not to lock them from certain choices during random events, but you stated that you had money on your treasury, right? Iām not sure what might be happening. Did anyone else have that problem? Perhaps the easiest way to solve this would be to just remove the money conditional from those choices.
Iām sorry you experienced this. Iāll try to explain why that happened, and why it shouldnāt happen.
During most of the gameās development and testing phases I used a custom savesystem which allowed players to save and load their games at any point. When I learned that that system couldnāt be carried over to the final version of the game, I had to find a new one. The people from CoG helped me out, and I ended up managing to implement a single-slot savesystem.
But it wasnāt tested as much as it needed to be, and I didnāt predict that certain deaths were coded differently than the usual(normally the players are taken to the āYou diedā screen, and from there they can load the game, but there are some exemptions spread through the game).
Iāve been fixing those when I find them(and when people report), and the one you experienced will be fixed with the next update. I donāt want people to have to restart the game from scratch because they died.
Okā¦so since I know (not the MC) she will betray MC, i decided to take control of MC and ignore her throughout the summit like the MC doesnāt care about her.I went with my guardian who died at the summit. It was my first time at the summit. Then there was 3vs1 fight. I decided to defend and go for the wall, since itās easier. I didnāt ask any questions. Started the fight. Didnāt attack her. Killed her two friends. She surrendered and started to act like it was all according to her plan. I ignored her blabbering and started to leave. She wanted me to kill her. I ignored her again and leave the summit. So basically I didnāt talk with her.
