"Werewolf: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names"—Unleash Rage and wield spirit to heal the land and rebuild your fallen pack

Yes, it has. But nuance still makes for a better story. It’s not like every person who unwittingly serves the Wyrm does so because they actually want to destroy the planet. And the people the Garou are more likely to use also aren’t saints just because their goals happen to align with the werewolves.

Really, can you honestly claim that the director of Neo Albion who shows up for one scene was an interesting antagonist?

Presumably, nobody who UNWITTINGLY serves the Wyrm actually wants to destroy the planet, because at that point, the Wyrm might as well just go all out and make them, well, witting.

This is very much not the case. Like, Leatherface is literally your first big fight (I don’t count the Bane in the intro as a big fight). There’s an ENTIRE TRIBE of Garou that are literally white supremacists. Clay and Scarper are very much depicted as absolutely horrible, outright abusive people, and Black Tarn isn’t much better for going along with it. The Garou of the caern were, apparently, absolutely fucking morons who smelled their own farts and called it perfume, to the point that when Eiton went “uh, guys…” they immediately threw him in jail.

Nobody comes off well out of this.

No, and I’m not claiming that, because between RL and the patches resetting progress, I haven’t been able to get that far. Hit me up later.

How do you get high Honor? My Black Fury Ahroun is struggling to get more, whilst my Glass Walker theurge had no trouble getting all three renown (he’s my first playthrough)

You could already do this, though? I know because I did it yesterday.

You get honor doing action that involves social attributes.

One of the choices (intimidating your landlord) was missing a call to the tester subroutine. When that happens, the code assigns “pass” or “fail” based on your last test, without actually running the test, checking your Manipulation+Charisma, etc.

Code-diving before launch got like 99% of those missing testers but there might still be a few kicking around.

Oh, I see, I see. When Jason said “fix the heat” I assumed he meant PERSONALLY fix the heat.

I also encountered a bug in the chapters near the end. Some of your conviction points vanish when you’re not using dialogues relating to that conviction or opposing that conviction.

Best to send this to the support email so it definitely gets seen and fixed.

You’ll note, however, that I didn’t say there were not deep or well written characters within the game. I said that the humans you meet within the game; barring an exception or two such as Nomi who is romanceable; are one note and lack nuance. Naturally, I did not include Garou within that claim because they’re not, well, human.

I disagree. I love Lucinda and Roscoe and feel like they’re both interesting, nuanced people I’m happy to talk with. Hobland’s a little spooky, but he’s a different flavor of prepper than I’m used to seeing since he’s militant left instead of the expected militant right. The Goultiers are hilarious and they suck so bad. I think anyone who’s had a shit landlord has experienced those guys.

And I mean, Scorpion Unlimited Wisdom Sword of Ali, he’s in a class of his own.

Just updated after many hours and finishing the Podge recruitment mission…and it restarted me back to before I did all of the other missions and recruitments. So now I’m basically at the beginning after getting a job and I feel sick cause I don’t remember all the stats and things I carefully picked to pass the checks I did :pensive:

Yeah, that’s the downside of the otherwise-great system of activity flexibility: since you can’t break it up in chapters (because everyone will do things in a different order), a patch can hit progress hard.

Yeah it’s unfortunate especially with stat heavy games like this. I think I will just put the game on hold indefinitely.

Hi, could I please have some advice on how to trigger Eltons romance when you are on the last companion mission.
Thx in advance

So, need advice about speaking with AT. It is obvious that initially the text of the replica and the belief contradicted in order to deceive the tiger, but then they correspond. Should I continue to deceive him or this time choose the option that suits the character? I'm confused and don't want to replay the whole game.

Not a comment on the discussion itself, but your description of the Caern is literally the best thing I have read all day. Thank you for this gem lol

So sorry if this has been asked before, I did my best to check, but it isn’t super searchable (or I’m not super clever, one). How do you add dots to your relationships with people? I’m full on dating Podge and we have one dot lol
