Fallen London/Sunless Sea -

[DuskEngine]

Welcome, Delicious Friend!

The Sea Does Not Forgive.

Spoiler: Explainer for the interested

Fallen London and Sunless Sea are games from Failbetter, set in a world where Victorian-era London has been dragged deep under the earth by a living marketplace known as the Echo Bazaar, into a vast lightless cavern known as the Neath where horrible and hilarious things happen.

Fallen London is a text-based browser game, and Sunless Sea is a top-down exploration/horror RPG. They are both fantastically written and I would recommend both of them.

What have you folks been up to in the Neath? I've been getting back into the University questline recently and polishing off the Exceptional Stories as they come. Add me or send me social requests (no fucking affluent photographers though)

I think I fucked up my main save. I was pretty far along in the delivery mission quests on behalf of the shady pub owner in London when they wanted me to pick up a package at Khan's Heart. I was supposed to pay for the package on receipt and bring it back to London, but I had unwittingly already spent much of the 1000 currency the pub owner's agent gave me, mistaking it for the reward I was supposed to receive for completion of the preceding quest. So if I go back to London without the package, I'm screwed, but to earn enough money to pay for the package I have to go back to London because my main source of incoming is filing Admiralty reports. At the same time, I'm doing the delivery quests for that evil Santa Claus monster, and the island I'm supposed to deliver his package to just fell to Khan invasion, so I can't dock at the harbor, and I haven't discovered the alternate delivery location yet (an Isle of Cats that I suspect is somewhere in the southwestern quadrant of the map, since I've already uncovered most of the rest). That delivery quest is time sensitive, so is naturally my first priority now. So far the Santa Claus monster hasn't been paying me in cash for his delivery quests, so I suspect I will have to look for yet another way to get together the 1000 I need for the pub owner's quest.

You gonna get raped.

One thing I can suggest is if you can find anything for the Curator's quest in Venderbight, they mostly pay in things like Captivating Treasures. You can sell those in Khan's Shadow for exactly 1000 Echoes. But Santa Claus is going to rape your butthole long before you get to those two places and then the Isle of Cats.

You can also sell Outlandish Artifacts there for 100 each.

Still, looks pretty bad for you, dude. OTOH you can go back to London, but the Blind Bruiser is going to kick your ass. Maybe kill you. Mr. Sacks will DEFINITELY kill you, though, so it's probably a better gamble.

If you've already had Sacks start taking things from you, you'd probably best prioritize finding the Isle of Cats, as he might finish you before you even can do that one thing. That's the main, imminent threat you're facing.

I'm actually making really good time on Sacks deliveries so far, no penalties yet, and I'm confident of my ability to finish the remainders of his deliveries on time. Still might end up having to revert to an earlier save since I'm so strapped for cash for the Bruiser

It will only kill some of your crew, but that will kill you if it's more crew than you have, so top that off before you return. The loss is 2-11 crew, so it probably won't kill you, unless you only have a 10 crew ship in which case it's possible.

I wish these devs would make a regular VN instead of bothering with gameplay.

The writing is good but it's nowhere not good enough to deal with the awful awful grind.

You don't know what an awful grind is until you're grinding for an Overgoat in FL. I estimated it'd take me about 2 and a half months of grinding just to get one.

Anyways, with Hallowmass 1894 around the corner, you can upgrade a variety of companions. Right now I'm farming Rubbery Man favors on Flute Street to try and get a Rubbery Bellringer, then upgrade it by the 31st.

How about fucking "Knifegate" in Ambition: Nemesis

Anyway the Bag a Legend ambition had been finished today. It's wild to think that two of the main ambition are finished now, since their unifinished state have been the butt of the joke since 2016/2017ish

 

[UnbirthOfANation]

Holy shit I'm surprised people still play this stuff. I got back into FL recently with a new character and I'm a fan of the world, if anyone still views this thread add me for some shit. Not a POSI yet so I could use a mentor and some other friendly actions for my various grinds
