I think I may have confused you haha, keeping him alive is how you get the achievement, *It may have unforeseen consequences though*
But you can get information that you otherwise wouldn’t get if he dies I think.
I never got that achievement. Maybe I should kill him the next time I make another Shadow Lord MC if there are more information later. Or when the Ghost Council releases since they’re all about gaining knowledge no matter what. Hope some kind of necromancy blessings shows up when they get released. The closest to it would be Katherine’s blessing I think.
Is there a way to find some other housing other than the Goultier’s place that Elton suggest to you or no?
No.
Is there a way to keep your bow if you picked the option to use it against the rider? Cause I’m planning on getting the Hou Yi’s blessing for my Black Fury MC.

Alright, Steam review written, you can call off the New Albion fireteam, Jason. I took Hjúki’s, anyway, so the bullets being silver is meaningless, and fascist blood is so hard to get out of the carpet.

No, but if you want to specialize in Dex + Aim you do get throwing daggers which are a lot of fun.
Ugh! That’s so boring as compared to using a Bow. What’s the whole point of “Divine Archery” if you’re not gonna use a bow? The game also said “I can’t carry a bow around in town” but it’s okay to carry a sword, machete, axe or daggers in town?

Speaking of Gifts, I do want to say I outright adore this game and would love a sequel, posted a positive review on Steam, the whole nine but I’m a little frustrated in my current run that I seem to have locked myself out of getting all Gifts but one. It’s discouraging to see "Oh, well, you ARE a Silver Fang with a lot of Glory but you told a joke once so you can’t do this cool thing.’

You’ll get plenty of chances to increase Dignity, don’t worry. My Litany kept going up and down like a yo-yo because half the time I look at the Litany and go “saying I should respect my elders is all fine and dandy, but what if my elders are actually half-witted abusers with barely-functioning brains”. Looking at you, shade of Eyes-of-Clay.

Convictions are very fun, I started with negative Litany and ended with a 3 dot in it… wich was double the fun because of the ending I choosed give you negative points, still 3 dots at the ending.
Spirituality was my bane though, every time I decrease it to learn a gift but comes the downtime and… at 3 again, but ok, sometimes you cannot go against your own roleplay.

I keep making decisions that seemingly Clay and the Hjuki don’t agree with but at some point had all the requirements for them, but it wouldn’t let me take them either, at least for Hjuki I think it’s because of the monetary factor but hopefully that’s fixed in this newest update.
Being a Silver Fang Anhourn that wants to do leadership and battle is fun though, I just don’t like Silver yet haha.
I should add that playing this, another WTA text based game and seeing Earthblood has given me a massive want and need to play the TTRPG, but finding a DM seems to be impossible. 
Hjuki needs money and a LOT of Litany.
I’ve reserved some money for it, but I question how much litany is needed for it because I currently have 2 dots towards litany sustains us, as for Clay I think I know the requirements I just dunno when I’ll get more chances to progress towards those (I’m in like chapter 8)
I really wanna finish this run before I get the update though.
Oh didn’t you know jokes are against the litany?
The Drone is wrong on their spiel about the Weaver being a better choice than the Wyld and so much of what they say bothers me. The Weaver is just as insane as the Wyrm. The Wyld is the only sane one of the Trio. Why would you ever entrust your own personal safety to a mentally corrupt force aimed at total destruction of the world around it (Wyrm) or to an equally mentally corrupt force aimed at bringing everything into a point of order and banality with zero change (Weaver)? Also The Garou arent taught to ‘hate 2/3rds of reality’, they are cautioned that 2/3rds of reality is not properly aligned. The drone is just an extension of the Weaver. To me, the Weaver is a madwoman and isn’t any less insane or problematic than the madman she traps (or imprisons). The only difference is that unlike the Wyrm she is free and has a champion to spread her power throughout the world (Humanity) which happens to be the dominant species on the planet.
Plus the Drone doesn’t care about humans. What better protector of Gaia, the embodiment of Earth, the ONLY known planet with life on it in the solar system, than the Wyld, a literal engine of creativity and creation?
That being said, I freed him for the info and worked with him for the GRC mission, and even offered him a place to stay on Rosemary Street.
You have to basically not say anything mean to them when you first meet them i think in chapter 2? (idk for sure) and then save their life from the sickness without ever antagonizing them

I still have my suspicions that the owner of Gorsky Manor is a vampire. I don’t want anyone to spoil me the answer about that though on whether it’s true or not. I’ll find out on my own.

Hahahahahahaha! My poor Hart Warden MC really struggled keeping that balance. But I couldn’t give up the chance to play as a “laughing poet warrior”.
Oh! What makes you say that? Something in the lore? I love this whole idea. There’s something similar in Hinduism but the Creator (Brahma) gets no respect and the Destroyer (Shiva) has an actual fandom and fanfiction written about him. Interestingly, Brahma was revered once but seemingly became “corrupt” by incestuous perversions (none of that Zeus shiz here, thank you very much), and it appears that the Wyrm’s corruption is also what has caused everyone to disrespect the Destroyer.
I always thought that the Weaver would want to war against the Wyrm more, logically, given that one brings order and preservation and the other, chaos and destruction? The Wylde can always re-create life all over.
Also is Gaia dead or not? Does the lore say anything? Sorry to ask all these questions lol! Feel free to answer as few as you want. 
Interesting! What’s ancilla? I did play Night Road after this game, and hated it, like I do all vampire based games (freaking selfish psychopaths), but I do remember the PC saying at a couple different times that they were glad they weren’t facing an actual werewolf, every time some gangrel turned into a wolf.
Buuuut what about this mf Gorsky? He’s defo using his hospital to run a blood racket, right? Did he come here after the destruction of the Garou at the Battle of Graves or was he always just flying under the radar, hoping the werewolves would be too busy warding off environmental threats to take notice of him? I’m guessing he’s Kindred, Embraced in the 1970s.
Dammit now I just want to see Raul team up with some Garou and destroy the more annoying vampires.
Ohh, I see @Zarkrai and I have the same idea. I bet a lot of other people made the connection too, and took it for a fact.

Lol no worries, i dont mind answering
The details of the lore are intentionally left a bit up in the air but the general consensus for werewolves is that The Wyrm went insane because the Weaver went insane first and trapped him. Whether or not thats actually true is another thing altogether, but i find it difficult to believe the Weaver, if she were sane, wouldn’t team up with the Wyld and restore or defeat the Wyrm.
Wait really? Thats so different from the usual view of destruction being the “bad thing” that everything begrudgingly accepts as necessary. kinda cool. By ‘incestuous perversions’ do you mean people fetishized the diety too much? Or did the mythology take too many less-than-wholesome paths?
I think its implied that life as we know it is a product of the Weaver and the Wyld working together- the Wyld makes the raw energy and life force or whatever you call the aspect of us thats closest to the soul and the Weaver gives it shape, structure and function. Thus, we have life and animals and plants. I could be wrong about that though cuz i know some interpretations people have attributed the laws of physics and such to the Weaver and actual biological life to the Wyld
And objectively speaking, In Lore, Gaia isn’t dead but shes asleep so incredibly deep in the umbra that the only things that have contact with her are basically other spirits under her command. Even knowledge of where she is in the Umbra is almost a forgotten myth. And I guess the spirits who DO know of her and speak to her haven’t been too keen on spreading the word around that shes still alive and kicking so some Werewolves think shes dead and give up hope. But I personally think thats just the Wyrms influence spreading into the werewolves over time. If Gaia WAS actually dead, the earth would cease to exist, just like how in cannon if Luna, the spirit of the moon died, the literal moon would disappear. Same with the sun and the other planets (presumably)

As I have seen a lot of post talking about Drones, let me explain a little bit of what they were.
Canonically they haven’t been introduced in W5 as of yet - I still don’t have the storyteller toolkit, so if they appear there I don’t know - the same with the Kami and the Gorgons, so they can appear in future supplements, they could be canonically completely excised, it too soon to know.
As everyone known by now, Drones are equivalent of Fomori but for the Weaver, Gorgons are the Wyld and Kami… well, those, those are Gaia’s own.
Drones, Fomori and Kami are all playable splat in Legacy - Kami weren’t very much playable but, well, you have rules… and Gorgons are antagonist and twice the destructive than a Fomori or a Bane - and worked a bit different than they did on W5.
So Drones, because we do not have canon info on them on W5, let me bring some of the older lore of Legacy about them.
While Fomori are created by the unholy union of a wyrm spirit and a human, Drone are made through a process called clarification, that is, they are remade through the binding of weaver spirit and the host, but unlike Fomori, most Drones are created voluntarily - transforming into a Drone is something that canot be unmade at all - and the transformation occurs always in the Umbra, probably in some of the Weaver Realms(the Cyber Realm most probably) or domains.
Drones are being of Stasis, idealised version of their mortal selves, forever unchanging, and nearly indestructible - as, they cannot change anymore, their status cannot be updated to destroyed, or to old or to mad, because their minds aren’t their own - and are conected to something called the OneSong.
The OneSong is a hive mind in which more of the Weaver servant are conected, Drones being special they retain some degree of individuality.
Garou and Fera can be made into Drones too, but they are stuck in the form the Clarification is made - war forms worked different in legacy - and they usually retain much more individuality than normal ones, though they still sucumb to the Weaver control the more updates they recieve - yes that’s how is called expending XP for Drone characters, and yes, they’re very hard to play .
Through the OneSong they recieve orders from the Weaver directly, and they cannot opose to them, ever, not even Queen Ananansa cannot escape it, if you believe some stories - but she did, and that’s story is for another time.
The one we see in BoHN is one that or is very glitched, or was cut off from the OneSong, that, yes, it make it very mad, individuality is madness after all, still is a weaver spirit, and weaver spirits work as intended, unlike those of the Wyrm and we can estrapolate in how it works than in W5 are going to work just like the Fomori, more or less.
Still, Drones are much more aproachable than Fomori and in legacy were used as allies by the Glass Walkers and some Mages, as I said before in the post, you could even play as one.
Still for those who knows the truth, Drones are the worst thing ever, just as bad as their Autochtonian brothers of Threat Null, but that’s another story for another time too.
And I better stop because this is starting to sound like a Pro-Weaver Pamphlet.
