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

Maybe I’m wrong, but i think I remember reading that it was a large pack of like 25 young garou who jumped Mithras, and yeah they all died but they killed all his servants and Mithras himself ended up a helpless sack of meat.

I played at release too, and maybe I’m lucky because barring typos, any bugs i noticed were fairly minimal and more annoying that anything else, but didn’t really take away from the experience.

Personally, i feel that this is Kyle’s best title to date, 10/10!

Soooo, Glory is gotten by punching things in the face? Or is it some other way? I find myself needing Glory to restore the forest.

Well, I got very bad luck, having info that I should have or characters alive when they were not, and dead when they were not, so… my experience was very rought.
This game score much more for me in fact, but I cannot give it more score with good faith right now, I know that this isn’t one of my professional reviews but still I cannot.

That’s fair. Like i said, i got lucky, my game never restarted like other people’s did. Biggest issues i encountered were typos and still living in the cabin after it blew up.

I’ve been psyched for this since it was first announced ladt year and i feel like it didn’t disappoint. 10/10

Me too, I was pretty hyped because Night Roads was very good and… Heart of the Forest is good, but is not that good, and WtA has been always the ugly duckling of WoD.
Not gonna lie, I was afraid too because of a lot of external factors, thanks god my fears were unfounded, because is very noticeable how much freedom Marquis got at the time of writting BoHN.
If there’s more W5 VN games in here or anywhere else well, I hope the writter decides to play their cards right, bacause BoHN is going to be very hard to dethrone or to be tied with, and if we’re not getting any more WtA stuff, well, ni que nos quitasen lo bailao.

Are there any elemental blessings other than the shadow spirit? Cause I’m thinking of eventually doing another playthrough and becoming similar to Elton so I can start slinging elemental powers but I don’t remember if there are blessings like that.

It would be nice if someone catalogued all the spirits and their blessings along with their requirements and bans.

Vahaghn, or whatever his name is? Stormcat’s boss, I think he’s the patron spirit of the Shadow Lords?

Vahaghn doesn’t give you elemental powers. I know that sounds ironic considering he represent thunder. And I don’t think he’s Stormcat’s boss.

Edit: Actually nvm. You’re probably right about the Stormcat’s boss part.

Then I cant join them. Good to know.

I don’t know if I did something wrong or… right…? But my character is actively dating Nomi and Nin at the same time?

Wait wha?.. there’s a Poly option?

There is but I was sure it wasn’t implemented yet since I tried to poly Nin and Melodie but it didn’t work.

Edit: I just looked at the save manager and it doesn’t mention any poly that involves Nomi so what Kestoren is experiencing is probably a bug.

Does it say if you can Poly Podge and Elton? It’d be funny cause those two mix like oil and water… in an adorable way of course haha

Yeah. Any of the poly combination works as long as it’s with the packmates and two people.

I think the game currently allows for you to date multiple people at once, but not if you want to pursue a more serious relationship, and your RO’s won’t also be dating each other.

I got offered a date by Nin after already asking for a date by Nomi, then could partake in both… It said nothing about poly but to be fair, I am playing a Silver Fang… Alpha of the pack hehe.

Eh. Debatable.

Silver Fangs self styled themself as a the rulers of the Garous, But more of then not they made way too many mistakes. Since this is using w5 does the luna curse still active or has it been retcon ?

Not sure if it’s still active but it’s acknowledge by Melodie and some of the other remaining Silver Fangs as well as the Silver Fang Patron (Falcon) that if you do join the Tribe that you need to aspire not to make the same mistakes and to try and rectify them, and rebuild the Garou Nation. Which I do like.

So what’s the highest stat check? Like for Night Road, 4 attribute + 3 skill was good enough. Is that the same here? Do I NEED to max any attribute, etc. I’ve hit the point where I wanna minmax this game. I had a blast doing that in Night Road.
