Treasure seekers-reviews general discussion

Not sure when Adam will have time to do that. Could be a few weeks.

So, I bought Treasure Seekers. Overall, I enjoyed it.

However, a lot of choices left me peeved.

The most aggravating one has got to be the Kind/Harsh stats.
I disagreed with the game telling me that because I’m morally correct, my combat effectiveness decreases.

Shouldn’t you be able to keep the arc welder after the first mission…? No reason to throw away a perfectly usable weapon, unless there’s a better one.

I liked the characters. I disliked picking between crew members, especially if you’re playing this for the first time. I generally play characters on the nicer side, so they like to talk to everyone. Being told that I’d only get to pick 3/6(not counting Cap’n & Grace) would have been useful.

A lot of the choices forced me to choose my morals. Doing a harsh run, I thought that sticking with Thisi in the middle of a fight would have been more effective to my survival, but choosing so makes me a good guy.

I like the use of items, though I’d like for there to be more opportunities to gain money for a Kind run. I never felt as if I needed more, though.

Tl;dr - I *enjoyed* the story, at the least. It wasn’t a fleshed-out epic adventure, but it was nice to pick up and put down. Probably won’t play again, however.

Hi! I really need the code in the cave guys! please help :slight_smile:

@Evie

Never figured that out myself, although I never overly tried. Your best bet is to buy a lazer and blast your way through. Although if you choose tactical, there is a way to brake down the wall (although it really buggy and you only get one chance, unless they fixed that).

I believe there is also a stealth way but I don’t remember that.

@Evie

I have the Konami Code… idk if that helps…

I didn’t want to start over, but I guess I will have to. I am disappointed that the clues are not very good

@Evie

What did you make your profession?

It’s the stalactites/mites - am I the only one who found that obvious? ._.

@CJW

No

What I found really strange about the game is how the genders of certain characters kept changing.

In one playthrough the captain would be a woman, and then randomly–without me making any changes to my character between the first playthrough and the next–she would be a man.

Then Garce would be a woman if I followed her, but a man if I rejected her harshly.

Then sometimes the captain’s lover would be a woman and sometimes a man, regardless of the gender of the captain.

It’s just so strange; it kind of gave me whiplash #-O

@YaoiBloodhound

Was this on separate playthroughs? Because if you restart the game there is a chance they will change gender (not an error) but if they change gender mid game then that is an error.

@WolfieGrey

Yes, it was on separate playthroughs. So it’s not an error or anything (except for the part where it says “a woman glances up from his desk”). It was just kind of unexpected

That sentence is an error yes, but gender switching on separate playthroughs is not

I think it’s just okay a 3/5 it has a good story but far to many errors and odd useless puzzles, many bugs and I would have liked a more romantic backstory. BTW does anyone know if it’s possible to mess up the first mission? The team always gets away with all or most the treasure / even after I get the alien bugs to help me.

Giving credit where it’s due, I adored the characters and the plot in this game so much that I almost bought it in spite of it being horribly broken. I look forward to it being patched so I can get it for my Kindle.

@Zel It shouldn’t be broken anymore. I mean, we’re reworking the Thisi character a little, but all the out-and-out bugs have been fixed.

@jasonstevanhill Thank you. That is wonderful news. When you release the Thisi patch, will those of us who bought it for Kindle get an automatic update, or are we stuck with the old version forever? I didn’t find Thisi intolerable, but she did seem a bit one-dimensional, and her inability to take no for an answer was a little creepy.

@Zel It should update, I dont think CoG would leave you in the dark when youre a paying customer.

e-Ink Kindles should update automatically, when you connect to WhisperNet. Other platforms have to be manually updated. But yes, all patches are free.

That said, I’m not sure that your concerns re: Thisi will be addressed entirely. The “Thisi patch” is to make her not specifically female. There were some very legitimate concerns raised about the “sexpot temptress” trope, and that’s what we’re addressing in the patch. Relatedly, the “consent” issue you mention should be better addressed in the patch.

@jasonstevanhill By the sound of it, most my Thisi concerns are being addressed in the upcoming patch. Since my Kindle will update automatically I just went ahead and bought the game. Fun, fun, fun. :slight_smile:
