Help getting/completing quests,..
« on: September 14, 2015, 05:25:04 pm »

Okay so quests in 2012 were straight forward, you ask for a quest, you get a specific target to go kill, you did it and then told someone. Now I ask around looking for a quest and only get titans, armies and occasionally a bandit camp.

 So since none of them can tell me where to find the titans I go to the bandit camp and start killing, but no one fights back until I specifically attack them. An I meant to go say something before I attack? Currently I walk in and attack someone, and his mates watch the battle until their friend is dead and I come after them...

Then after this what do I do? When I go tell someone in the same civilisation that I killed these people all they say is, "it was inevitable", or " it is terrifying ", is that all I need?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Many features are broken/unfinished.

Behavior is not working as intended right now, so responses don't make sense/are underwhelming. Your enemies may politely chat with you while tearing your arms off, or run screaming for their lives. When you finish a quest you're just met with indifference. This is all normal.

When you ask about quests, who you ask can determine how much info you get, but this varies and is inconsistent.

If you check for quests with Inquire about any Troubles, it'll be more random as to what you get.

Bring up specific incident or rumor *normally works better* but this is based on where you spawn. Usually I use this and just spread the first 2 pages of rumors, asking for directions to the mentioned location. This should be abductions, or semimegabeasts and then night trolls first if it's about "name of creature" being present in a certain area. It could also be about power struggles.

When I spawn in the wrong location they'll go on about titans and megabeasts.

Bring up specific incident or rumor is broken since an NPC who may have no idea where anything is when Inquired about any Troubles, will now be able to give you information.

So everything's off.

Oh my Armok, how did I not know you can do that?

'I hear Somethingname the Something of Othering is in Someplace.'
"It is terrifying."
'Can you tell me how to get to Someplace?'
"Sure, it's southwest of us at [detailed directions], and some stuff happened."

Thats a pretty tricksy method :p

If you want to do it without a clever exploit.
Once they give you detailed directions the place will show up on your map, that is not broken at all, they will tell you of a person who knows where it is, you ask for the whereabouts of that guy, go to him then you can get the location.

They can also guide you to the place. For the most part bandits are hostile as are all beasts I've only had issues with kobolds. You just need to know what you are doing most lists can be filtered with F and the Q button is basically the storehouse of all your characters knowledge use it and learn how to navigate that menu and you won't have any issues.

Also yes it was inevitable DOES still give you the fame. Usually, it took me awhile to figure that bit out and a lot of people don't know that. You will be able to hire more companions.
