"Werewolf: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names" Demo Available Now!

Then I gotta ask now.

What happens if keep not selecting a tribe?

I always tend towards caitiffs in most cases. Couple times did clans but didnt like the clans honestly.

I dont recall wolves can ever be tribeless. It is very detrimental, not just gifts but I think it’s more severe than caitiffs. Maybe?

Is there a point it will force a tribe selection?

Yes, there will come a point that you’re required to join a tribe. Before the second-to-last chapter, if I remember correctly.

To join Bone Gnawers the Mc has to be either someone who is a pragmatist (low hope stat) or did not care about litany (low litany stat) at all. if either one of the criteria stat is fufilled the Rat would allow them to join Bone Gnawers.

I noticed some disperancies on the doc about gifts

Katherine gift required a low litany stat

Falcon gift can be acquired by hart wardens or philodox

Porcupine gift can be acquired by black furies or philodox

As for father bear and mother bear just the name is wrong, father bear don’t exist anymore so his gift instead offered to a wolfborn garou it can be acquired through Clay.

Fox gift need high joke stat

Stats explanation

Hope : are you an optimist or a pragmatic

Find the answer is high hope while Try not to die is low hope

Humanity : do you cherish them or do you hate them

Humans must understand is high humanity while Humans must pay is low humanity

Litany : do you follow the litany or do you disregard it

Litany must be rebuild is high litany while Litany has failed is low litany

Joke : are you a jokester or you’re a serious person

Find courage through laughter is high joke while Find purpose through dignity is low joke

Spirituality : do you prefer destroy your enemies with rage and claws or would you prefer turn to spirits

Our answer is spirits is high spirituality while Our weapon is rage is low spirituality

Hope this help

Thank you! Ive updated the Fox, Kathrine and Father Bear Gift
What is the Chiminage for Katherine and the Wardstone if you know? (ill replay the demo for them later)
The 4 personality stats doesn’t really explicitly mention 'We can still win" but its part of the little test for Melodie. based on what you said, is it that its just “Find the Answers”? Is it a mix of Litany failed and Try not to die? Is it a hidden value from dialogue choices? “Hope” isn’t its own stat and its listed separately from find the answers so idk

So joining them is very unlikely as I dont match those requirements. Interesting.

Im really weird, I guess, and dont really fit in one tribe alone. I got several half-hearted or not at all liked.

Im going by what my stats were and how they all perceived my choices. Half-liked or not liked at all by a few.

Children of Gaia, I think, liked me the most on how I’ve read in-game texts honestly.

Once I get back into it later, will find out where I fit in fully, tribe wise then. So far, I don’t. Surprised rat won’t be interested.

I know you can ask her out and I vaguely remember on one of my initial playthroughs that she accepts but I could be mistaken. I assume it deals with your stats/personality. Theres not really much clear indication of where you stand with them besides the journal saying if you have 2 dots or 3 and the few scattered checks where you ask them to deal with a situation

Thank you for the additional info, updating the guide immediately.
As for the high hope, my question is how do we cultivate that? It’s pretty straightforward with other stats since they are explicitly named but your explanation of

Find the answer is high hope while Try not to die is low hope

makes it sound like “High Hope” and Find the Answers are one and the same.
also, 7 Wisdom for Katherine is insane holy cow, isn’t that the highest one so far? I wonder if we’ll get the Gift/Rite that lets us change without ripping our clothes lol.

By being curious and constanly badgering for more information.

It seems i misread your message lol, nevermind

Ngl, after a few missions in. You can level up your stats to pretty damn well-rounded.

It atleast gets to the point where you SHOULD be able to pick a stat check in scenarios and pass. Unless youre intentionally trying to blow all points into only a few areas.

Made a scholar wolf, so not best combat/atheltic stuff at start. Few missions in, fixed the issue and it was smooth sailing.

Yeah, that was my experience as well. Guessing we have to wait until released. Thanks anyway, though

Where do you get and use money, and get promotions, according to the code I saw, and how do promotions play a role in a world where the MC is a Werewolf?

You’ll get promotion way later, as for money is the xp.

You get money in mundane ways: from working at a job or from the wallets or bank accounts of dead folks. You spend it in mundane ways, too: buying clothing when old sets are destroyed, buying food sometimes if you don’t feel like dumpster diving, buying furniture or tools when needed. As in real life, money becomes less of a concern once you establish yourself, but just starting out, it’s a bit of a struggle.

I wonder if the old pack will ever actually make it to the city. They would 100% cause some problems, but it would be fun to see how the werewolves doing their job badly can be even worse than leaving it well alone.

Scarper and Black Tarn will come along with trouble their bringing.

Hm, any guesses about the Tradition to which Giselle belongs? She is certainly no Technocrat. Thankfully, she does not seem to be one of the Nephandi. Then again, she could just be a renegade without allegiance. She seems too sane to be a Marauder. Perhaps the Verbena.

Speaking of my beloved Technocratic Union, it seems that there will be at least a reference to them, one of the Conventions, rather. There might a mention later on about a collaboration between the Glass Walkers and VE, which one would assume to mean the Void Engineers, to destroy a malicious spirit from the Umbra.

Ah, the Void Engineers. Hm, one is rather more of the Progenitors or Iteration X, but the Void Engineers are also fascinating. All of the Conventions are necessary, of course, each with their own role and function in the Technocractic Union.
