Cool tip for adventurer mode
« on: January 24, 2015, 09:05:15 am »

Now there is probably a better way to do this but ...

I just realized that you can screenshot all the 'trouble' rumours you talk about then run them through a free online OCR!

The resulting text file is a lot easier to work with and can be further processed, stuck in a spreadsheet or whatever. :)

?

Why would you do this?

You can look at all the rumors in the quest menu or if you know the name of the location/creature/person in question you can ask about it in the rumors menu

It's a hella lot faster and more flexible. That's why.

Hey be nice the guy is just trying to help out ok.
Yeah ptb_ptb that is a good way and far easier than looking through rumours in quest menu. I have hundreds of me attacking x just cause I enjoy tourture.
Please think about you replys before you post, it can make you sound ignint...
Because I find it really hard to look through hundreds of me getting attacked by bunnies and raven people and me killing boogiemen and right in the middle of it is the vampire im trying to report to the king/baron/law-giver
Yes I remember his name but the bunnies obscure my veiw...
By the way why dont bunnies like me
And the filter doesnt work properly.
Now the pools dirty

Sorry...I wasn't trying to be hostile, that was actually a genuine question (i.e I was being sincere not sarcastic).

Filtering the rumor menu works pretty well for me which is why I was curious as to why you'd do this.

And bunnies don't like you because you're A FUCKING WOLF. You have teeth n' stuff. Is scary.

The reason this is better is because the journal system is pretty abysmal, simple as that.
It doesn't help that actual "objectives" were removed in favour of "events", which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that there's no filtering at all - an example being the aforementioned "attacked a bunny" and "attacked by bunny" spam.

.  I want to try.

  but agreed, the system is terrible as it stands now.  Even just organizing them and adding a better search system would help.

It's more vital on the larger world, but some of the handy features include:

* Keep notes on which sites you have visited / cleared.
* Quickly check camps and lairs by NAME to see what lurks there.

I usually just open the quest menu and check lairs against the game log and use a separate text doc to save lairs cleared, and to notate which ones have occupants with kill lists.

Honestly, I like it.

The only problem I see with it is that it doesn't track quests, but rather events. I've constantly gotten quests to hunt vampires or beasts only to forget where I was going.
Making the only viable option(s) either:

1. Write it down
or
2. Do one quest at a time

Both of which are slightly annoying.
