Congratulations! This sale was a good reason/excuse/justification to finally buy Noblesse Oblige (CdlC and RA I got already) 😃 edit. And a good kick to start off a new playthrough throughout all the games! ---

So it will still come today? The Upcoming Choice of Games Releases thread says it will be released on Jan 25th but my game on Steam did not receive an update. Or is it coming only for other platforms? Just wanting to make sure I got it right. Looking forward to it! ---

I’m currently in the middle of a run on IOS, to play the epilogue should I restart? Is there anything else I may need to do? ---

Mild epilogue rambling (spoilers): Liked this a lot. I’m a sucker for a good epilogue and it was great to see more of of Asher and our siblings, really liked getting to do some diplomacy while learning about Teran as well. The weddings were so nice, the royal one was especially sweet for me, very warm conclusion that even had Fabiens replacement grow on me quite quickly. Love being able to go back to the beginning of the chapter whenever too (and any previous chapter), that gave me room to try out the different options easily and it’ll be so convenient on future replays. ---

@AletheiaKnights thank you so much again for your testing! @Samuel_H_Young @izzily @AnneWest @starpendle thank you!! The reason I started doing this epilogue was a little silly\* but I’m so glad I did it and that CoG humoured me, heh. @dreamofeden that’s me! Blood Money is very different (though there are some shared themes, albeit with a lot more violence) and never got talked about as much as Creme but I love it a lot. @Akme2000 ahh I’m really pleased that you enjoyed! I like Lord Hendricks quite a bit 😄 @CloudStrike I think it should be out everywhere now as the mailer has gone out, but if it’s not for you it’s worth emailing support (at) choiceofgames (dot) com to check. @mags I think it will probably restart automatically; it will probably be a good idea to restart anyway as the checkpoints are changed in this update and there were a few bugfixes (one weird one involved some imported Noblesse Oblige games not displaying the name of Gallatin College correctly in Royal Affairs, for example). You’ll know you have a completely up-to-date game because you’ll be able to restore to a previous chapter from the stats page, and you can just access the epilogue by continuing to play after what was previously the ending. Any issues, please drop an email to the above address as they’ll be able to tell you more intelligent things about how updates work than I will! \*I realised that in Honor Bound I wanted to be able to refer to whether or not the Royal Affairs PC had got married, or had managed to get married to someone the Queen disapproved of, because a royal getting married would be a big deal even in another country. Plus there were those options in the final chapter about “maybe we should elope” and such, plus the discussions about what the PC might be doing with their life… Initially I thought about just putting a question in the Honor Bound questionnaire so the player could specify what happened in the last few years but it felt weird to summarise it like that in another game, so I decided to make players be able to play through it themselves, and to have some family, exploration, and life follow-up as well for those who didn’t want to get married. So, instead of 5 minutes and a couple of choices, I took a month and 50,000 words to write a full chapter, because I am contrary like that sometimes! Also I got to figure out some Westerlind and Teranese traditions, which is always fun. (There’s going to be some more bits and pieces referring to the events of the epilogue in Honor Bound once I’m done wrangling the current chapter I’m writing…) ---

Honestly, I’m one of those people who gets so bogged down in world building that the story itself rarely gets written, so > [@HannahPS](#): > > Also I got to figure out some Westerlind and Teranese traditions, which is always fun. really hits me in a place that understands! ---

I mostly do my worldbuilding as I go and fill in the gaps with cement once I’ve drafted (do not ask me to do real-life construction, it will not go well for anyone). I can get distracted with mythology and technological developments though, and sometimes historical figures… and then wonder about making a game set 100 years before Creme or something, hmmm… ---
