Augh! I made the Bard my lover and I was really looking forward to reading the story-text that came after, but instead I got a pop up telling me my session had expired, and when I re-logged in I was back on the cards screen!

Does anybody remember the gist of the flavor-text? Or, since I know we have a Failbetter dev reading this forum, could you pleeeeeeease cut-and-paste the text for me? I feel seriously bummed that the game didn't let me read it.

Wake up with the wayward bard in your bed
Was it your intention? A happy accident?does it matter? He's experienced, confident and canny, both in politics and in the bedchamber.
Hidden passions
You keep your liasons secret, of course. Candlelit, meetings. Fingers tangling briefly in the corridors. The door to your bedchambers creaking softly open when the guards change their watch. Stifled giggles as a servant passes. His smile, silver in the moonlight, and the secrets he whispers before morning.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried "Acquire Luxuries To Impress the Divine"? Do you gain more than one Viand or just one?

Just one. But honestly I find those options quite effective for gaining trophies/viands/secrets since it's not too difficult to build back up to 100 from 50.

Just one. It's not a bad way to get luxuries, IMO.

 

(still kind of hate this game, but at least I understand how it works now. and at least you don't actually need 50 McGuffins to get the best ending)

 

'd! dammit

Kaibe, you are THE BEST.

My experience with the game has been that it's very chancy at the beginning. I had Peril at 100 for a looong time and Prosperity at 0 for a while too. However, once you get things stabilized (and your stats up/advisors in place), it becomes quite easy to sail on and to generate whatever sort of currency you want (royals, trophies, etc). I feel like I'm doing very well in the game now. I *did* buy some Dawn so maybe that helped me get through the rough patch at the beginning faster--my feeling is that game developers deserve to make money, so I don't mind pay-to-play if it's a game I'm enjoying. The writing is quite strong and I'm intrigued by the story.

Also, I am totes done with The Dashing Outlaw. Sure, maybe there was a justification for her back when the peasants were impoverished and ruled with an iron fist, but now Prosperity's at 88 and Freedom's at one-frickin'-hundred, and I just found out that the Outlaw is

, so I'm done being soft on crime. Pig Farmer, you're my new BFF.

(I did love some of the dialogue between the Huntress and the Outlaw, though.

"It's YOUR river." "It's my woods too, and that doesn't stop you from swanning around like you own the place."

How'd you realize she was doing that?

[Daerog]

It is revealed in that one errant siblings case.

[thesuperdarkone2]

I currently have 3 cases open:

 

Uprising

Dashing Outlaw

Wyvern Hunt

 

 

 

Which one gives the best rewards?

[Mortarion]

Speaking of the errant siblings, I choose to take htem back but hte game decided to log me out, will I meet the Horned Knight again? I hear you

Spoiler

can invite him to come by the feast in honor to the Divine

[Siduri]

Kaibe: Yes, the Errant Siblings case.

[WillieStyle]

Ugh!

So I restarted as the Huntress.  I had the perfect plan.  First, Get Guild Mistress, Bard, Tea Dwarf, and Hunter.  Max out my Derring Do with clues.  Then trade Huntsman for Outlaw, max my Rulership and Cunning, then trade Guild Mistress, Bard, and Tea Dwarf, for Knight, Abbess, and Pig Farmer.  That way, I'd be good at everything except Scholarship and I'd get +60 to scholarship from my entourage.  

 

But I just realized that even if you have 100 Derring-Do, you can fail challenges if you don't have the Huntsman.  I just lost a duel against some inbred bandit leader even though I had 100 Derring-Do!  That's not cool guys!  Not cool at all!

 

I'll see myself out.

since you have uprising and wyvern hunt then I guess that means you've picked the Dour Lordship card (the one where the neighboring marquis arrives) and the Dowager has gotten ill, i'd definitely see that one through because... well i don't want to spoil it but damn did it feel good when you get to the end of that little quest if you "break the rules".

Just finished the wyvern hunt and got rid of the uprising. Now I gotta wait until my actions return to normal. Also, my every threat except revolution is low. My revolution is 90 low. Thats what I get for trying to get more bags of royal with 72% chance of success. Any way to reduce revolution except for the hunter since I already have him?

[Eveangaline]

Trying to decide something....what should I do when the lord of the forest wants to kidnap a guy for hunting a dear?

 

I mean I owe the guy a debt sort of but at the same time..I've killed a shitload of dear. I wish I knew why "have him driven from the hall" is a locked option...

 

Ah whatever he can ask for something reasonable to repay the debt. Like money.

if i remember correctly, finishing the final quest involving the Dour Lordship will take quite a big chunk out of the revolution score and the peril score

I bet "have him driven from the hall" is locked because you are in his debt.

I wasn't in his debt when he showed up (I left the errant siblings to their fate rather than make an open-ended bargain with something possibly demonic). And I certainly wasn't handing over another of my vassals. HOWEVER, I also didn't want to be the first to escalate to open warfare, so I didn't choose the "driven from the hall" option even though it was open to me. I denied his request politely, and he basically told me that he would accept my decision but now considers me "in his debt."

Subsequently I got a new pinned card--The Abbess' Road--telling me that the Abbess is trying to cut a new road through the woods to her abbey, and the Horned Lord is blocking it. My choices are to spend a favor with her and tell her to find another route, or send in soldiers to protect her workmen. Again, I'm reluctant to be the first to escalate to open warfare, so I'm probably going to tell her to find another route.

At this point, though, I am *very* skeptical of the Horned Lord, and I will choose military options if necessary to prevent him getting his hands on any more of my people.

 

[Mortarion]

I'll admit to having handed one of my vassals and the Horned Knight isn't so bad but that might be because he said something along the lines that while Serault's Shame was still present, her Dignity was still remembered

@Hisoku: what happens if you end the quest by "breaking the rules"? (I went for the traditional route)

I chose military options

Waiting for turns? How long?

I'm thinking about playing but I must admit I'm getting cold feet.

Any chance the Huntress or the Scholar will show up in DA:I? So I can bang them?

20 minutes for a turn to refill.

[The Closet Geek]

Funny enough I was watching Princess Mononoke on another screen when the Errant Siblings questline came up.  That may have influenced why I chose to bargain with him rather than drive him off.

 

I gave him the hunter who killed the deer, but now he's taken my Bard to 'compose a ballad for him'.  I tried being nice and using Royals to get him back politely, but apparently he insists.  So **** him, I'mma going hunting and getting my Bard back.

My first Market Day took 30 hours to come, but the next one came much quicker for some reason. I'm doing well and don't mind so much, but it was strange.

Still haven't found a use for that darn elfroot.

From reading the forums I think it comes into play if your health drops to zero; you can use it to restore some helath.

[veeia]

Nope, my health has dropped down to zero twice and I haven't been able to access it. Has anyone else, though? Maybe it's a bug for me. :/
