Probably not, but go on.

It's been a while since I've had anyone else to talk to who's played it.

I played it for quite a long time awhile back.

I got to a point where I needed something like 6,000 candles just to attempt, and attempt cost me 200. I screwed up and wasted 8,000 candles, at which point I gave up the game cold turkey.

>>26583170
What on earth were you attempting?

>>26583170
6,000 candles! the foxtail candles?

>>26583042
I'm at the end of the Cheesemongers quest and can't decide what to do
kill everyone or set up hot daughter

>>26583227
I set up the girl as the new Cheesemonger and sent the old one off to a convent but the Game goes on no matter what.

>>26583189
I don't remember the specifics, but it was candles the church give you.

It was really really far along my chosen storyline, and it was this weird system of shadow alleyways I had to navigate. I don't remember the specifics but it required like 8 successes before you got 4 failures, and if you got 4 failures, you had to start over.

It was super intense and after losing all my candles attempting it, I just stopped.

>>26583245
well that's good to know.
i can't help but always try to be loyal in these kind of games

>>26583227
>>26583245
I loved that quest. I must've spent a whole day just thinking about each of the implications. It really drew me into the game.

>>26583262
was it the eater-of-chains thing?

>be a writer
>write like 5 books
>??????
>PROFIT

>>26583280
No, I remember it was much further along than that.

>>26583280
no, he's talking about the labyrinth of the orphanage. it's the shadowy ambition thing

you don't need any. there's an action right at the beginning of the labyrinth that reveals you need a special candle, and it skips the 6k thing, iirc.

>>26583245
i set up the girl, and slayed the mother. gives you a quality that literally says in the description "This may prove to be the key to your future" but you can also get that in the fightclub thing with bandage man

>>26583319
This, been working for me super great.

>>26583319
>>26583395
I've been doing archaeology to rake in money (and try to find the Eyeless Skull), but maybe I'll go back to writing when I'm done. I did just enough to get the Author profession and then went 'fuck it too much work'.

I find it funny how the game kind of pushes you towards bisexuality
I keep trying to talk the incestuous brother and sister into having a threesome

>>26583436
...how does one get a profession?

>>26583447
Yup, trying it out right now.

>>26583361
REALLY!?!

well shit. I suppose I just never got that special candle.

In any case, the game inspiried me greatly to run a campaign that used multiple types of currencies, and different factions/organizations valued them differently. It really got the players involved in the world when they were screwing over certain factions just to make that faction's currency worthless in the rest of the city.

>>26583447
Victorian hedonism, ho!

You can do it again in the Traitor Empress's Court and even on her throne if you don't mind being immediately shipped off to the Tomb-Colonies afterwards.

>>26583455
If your stats are under 70, there should be an option to take on a trainee profession at your lodgings.

Otherwise, you'll get the option on certain connection cards (for example, a strong Bohemian connection will set you up with a job as a Journalist, which pays nicely in blackmail material).

Author is the Journalist upgrade; you get it after publishing a book of a certain quality.

i let that young countess stay underground with the claymen

feels bad man

>>26583521
oh okay, thanks!
i'm currently writing one and the quality is around 70 so it should at least get me some decent echos

>saving up for some pimped out boots

I choose the Bohemians
They don't seem very helpful

>>26583853

The Great Game.

they are also unhelpful. Oh, for the days when I was young and easily swayed by spy games...

>>26583917
Hell. still waiting on them to implement the "Courting the Quiet Deviless" storyline

none of them are helpful, it mostly determines what cards let you gain the Spending Secrets, and Counting the Days qualities.

>>26584031
I'm doing that one
I won't go through with the abstraction though

>>26584051
no, that's the Intimate of devils story. Once you've made every stat 100, you can get married, and one of the potential partners is supposed to be the Quiet Deviless, but they haven't put it in yet.

I already went through with the abstraction.

>>26584076

>>26584076

I decided to replace her with her daughter. I think I've made the right decision

>>26584396
it's got a great narrative and a wonderful sense of humor.

also you can play it in 5 minute bursts, so it's not like you have to quit doing whatever you're already busy with.

>>26584396
Because its grim in total darkness and set into Victorian London, where NO ONE cares about you. And devil's fedoras.

>>26584396
sense of humor and degree of choices is it's best selling points. i've played few games that let me kill orphans, seduce old women and have innocents arrested with little to no consequences. there's so much to do and so many aspects that you'll always have something to work towards.

and the way you get action points and stuff let you play at a decent clip without exhausting it too quickly

>>26584384
I have no idea if that's true or not, but I wouldn't say it'd surprise me if it were.

>>26584473
but also really light-hearted about it.

The devs call the genre "Comic Horror" instead of cosmic horror.

>>26584519
true, it's gothic but cartoony at the same time. it's very unique in my experience

>>26584519
agree.
You almost mad, you wanted by the coppers, you bleeding to death, you wearing dirty, cheap rags, no shoes, your only friend - dumb sentiet rat, yet you can you to Ball and become a star of it.

I didn't think about that, we could probably help each other out...

>>26584769
she was trying to wash blood off her hands by pouring even more on. you genuinely did her a favour. you got her out of the game.

>>26584999
It kind of seems like that is what the narrative is implying. Like she is trying to subtly get you to do it.

>>26585079
If you agree to help her out instead of getting rid of her, she's not subtle about it at all.

My ex plays this game a lot.

Like a lot a lot.

It is like KoL, right?

>>26585135
the humor is a lot more subtle, and there isn't combat in the traditional sense, but yeah.

>>26585135
Sort of kind of.

More story, fewer HEY GET THIS REFERENCE moments.

Do easier way to get money ever open up?

>>26585267
...sort of.

>>26585267
You'll get better rewards as time goes on - but also more expensive things to blow them on.

You'll never be rich rich unless you do a lot of grinding.

Is anyone else trying to get 77 first city coins to play poker with?

>>26585267
the thing about it, is that the way actions work means you have to re-think how grinding works entirely. basically, there will be a lot of moments where you'll think "aha! i've found an infinite money loop!" but really, going through that loop will get you money slower then just doing standard actions and selling the proceeds.
it tops off at around an echo an action, with an extra 30 echos for 5 actions once a week for advanced professions.

>>26585135
just started this game
any tips? seems very interesting

Am I the only one who sold Alice to the Masters?

>>26585580
Just have fun and be sure to use the wiki whenever you might need to make a permanent decision.

>>26585344
I found the best way is to use the criminals and moon pearls since you can earn Connected: Criminals through selling casing in the Flit.

There is an entire forum dedicated to the game where plenty of people are willing to embark on the heist to help you.

>>26585693
well they say i have to find lodgings.
so far i went mad and had a fight with a streetcat.
am i doing this right?

>>26585826

>>26585826
Just another average day in Fallen London.

For some real advice, decide what area you want to start with. Do you like the stories about bloodshed or partying? Do you want to solve mysteries or rob houses? Pick a starting area, grind for a while and buy some nice gear. Your character's story will appear over time. Also, don't jump too quickly into an ambition. Plenty of other content.

>>26585717
i need to start looking at the meta stuff for this game. i've been trying to play it in too much of a vacuum

>>26585580
It's funny, I've been playing this game for awhile and I actually can't think of many tips to give you. It's kind of a just go with it kinda game

just wait for the opportunity cards. all will be well and all manner of things will be well.

>>26585667
you heartless bastard...

>>26586045
Get the basic lodgings first. when you've got a stat at 30, a card will show up that lets you buy a better house, the new house lets you have 3 cards in your hand at once. there's more houses at higher levels.

the ones for 70 let you have 4 cards, but they are absurdly expensive. 40,000 drops of honey expensive

captcha: Ynont Somerset

Captcha makes a good point, why aren't there any houses associated with the university?

>>26586138
Ironically, I have 0 heartless and a high magnanimous. I did refuse to betray the Consumptive Cryptozoologist though.

>>26586202
Because those fools can't be trusted to solve a murder mystery, much less run a housing establishment.

>>26586045

I sure did.

What happens when your wounds reach level 8?

>>26586718
you take a long boat ride on a quiet river

maxing a menace sends you to a penalty area. like the description says, it's just inconvenient. unless you're playing knife and candle, in which case you get auto-evicted, as if you had lost your last token.

>>26586718

Buggy as fuck. Two or three times when it said I'd gained 'Making Headyway' I didn't so I ended up running out of provisions and lost sailors.

Awesome.

>>26589331
You should try it, and then save some old dude from a burning building a few times. Fun stuff.

>>26589331
Explore around a bit and you too can give it a shot!

Speaking of - it's all right to either build up all your stats or focus on one. It all depends on what you want to see and experience.

>>26589441
however
certain things cease to be available at certain levels, so don't be in a rush to blow past it all

they actually just changed an item that used to be an equippable that lowered all stats, to a consumeable, so you can always use that to go back down if you need

>>26589622
It made me very sad that they did that, since if I wanted to ruin my stats, I could just continue being a Seeker

>>26589634
>>26589622
plus that hat was hilarious

What's easier to get and where can I get them?
Confidant Smiles or Stolen Correspondence?

>>26590836
confidant smiles start coming fast and furious when you reach higher levels but stolen correspondence i see less frequently. i've gotten both though cards

>>26590836
Confident Smiles come in pretty quickly and you can farm them through actions in your lodgings.

>>26590836
if you're a PoSI then you can get 20 stolen correspondence per action in spite. the university also has an action that gives you a few, but you can't spam it because of the time mechanic there.

"Intimate with a revolutionary firebrand is now 11"
"Intimate with a secular missionary is now 11"

Does anyone else prefer playing as an indistinct gender character?

>>26603683
I am. not sure what compelled me to do so however. Glad i did though, it's much more entertaining.

I'm trying to grind up my Shadowy stat, should I try completing a challenge with 50%-66% to succeed or should I keep doing the 90/100% challenges? What would level me up faster?

>>26604422

The former, assuming you don't lose anything really bad for failing.

>>26604487
Nah, the challenges are about chasing the talking cats, you can repeat them with no penance.

>>26604422
IIRC. you get three points for something at 50% or less, 2 points for 51-80%, and 1 point for 81%+

My numbers are probably off by a bit, but that's the general ballpark

>>26604721
Are those points earned only when you succeed them?

>>26604782
No, you'll learn from your exploits even if you fail.

>>26604782
no but you'll get less for failing.

has anyone's "unaccountably peckish" menace reached 8?
it never raises higher than 1 for me.

>>26605476
that menace is somewhat...unique. it's more for unlocking certain options you wouldn't choose, rather then something that sends you to a penalty location. having it at 8 isn't really any different then having it at 1

You can learn of the Correspondence, what sorrow-spiders do with the eyes they steal, the name of the missing Master of the Bazaar - but the last one is utter foolishness. Don't do it, lest you be ruined.

No need to convince me any further, dis shit is happening.

After escaping from prison, Zarok was faced with a dilemma. He was alone in a dark city with only a few echoes and the clothes on his back, and what was a man to do? Like many other young men, the prospect of wealth through crime sang to him like a mermaid to sailors. He cackled with the crones, grinned with the gangsters, and
had a certain fire in his heart for the whores down at the Black Lotus.

>>26612389
However, alcohol mixed with chronic poverty and seasoned with a dash of undiagnosed mental illness, would fan that fire into an unquenchable inferno of rage against society, God, and that insufferable newspaper urchin on 8th Ave. The Bohemians would call him "nihilistic", and he would retort with a slurred insult and an obscene gesture.

I'm a Seeker, though I haven't gotten particularly far.

As far as I have gotten has involved multiple instances of suicide, imprisonment, and having my soul stolen away. And yet, there's more to do - seven times seven times seven is the Number, after all.

But all will be well and all matter of things shall be well.

well, i've done my good deed for the day

>>26583042
Oh, hot fucking yeah.

Went up until I had beaten pretty much everything current (and free) except for the lockbox. That was about three months ago.

Anything new? Especially anything new on the Zee?

>Background I cobbled together

I've done terrible things anons.

>>26614835
was that apart of the long lost daughter sidequest?

>>26615005
No. It's a part of the Watchful Ambition.

>>26615039
well, it sounds a hell of a lot cooler than the persuasive ambition so I think I might try that too with my new game

>>26615057
I don't think it's the only way for Watchful to go actually.

I'm sure they all involve tracking someone down for a slight done in your past.

I've stormed fortresses filled with spider cultists and murdered people in foreign lands where dead people die, but the Game's reach is long. Longer then anyone could have imagined. While I've gotten answers, they only raise more questions.

>>26615119
>I don't think it's the only way for Watchful to go actually.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the longest ambition currently in the game is the Watchful/Dangerous one where you hunt a legendary dream monster.

>>26615440
is it the eater of chains?
cause that thing's a dick

>>26615497
Godamnit people, there are monsters other than the eater of chains ! Anyway I'm talking about the Vake Ambition, and it seems like its an even bigger deal than what you said because the bounty on it's head is 4 MILLION ECHOES HOLY SHIT

That was a kickstarter reward, though.

This thread is still up? Anyway, one of the previous newbie players here, should I be selling all the items in the Goods category? I don't see any use for them, you can't even interact with them like you can do with the Candles and the Whispered secrets.

>>26615649
Generally, even stuff like alcohol is used for certain quests. If you really don't think you'll need something, you can sell it, but I found that items are expensive and you get little for selling.

>>26615700
also, my username is Holgast and I need friends that play, add me plz

>>26615649
Don't worry about selling things off when you're a newbie; you'll probably easily make them back later.

I missed when you could echo snippets to Facebook and get free actions. I also miss the festivals when you had infinite actions for 24 hours or so.

What's /tg/'s opinion on this?

>>26615909
Looks like it's going to be fun. I don't particularly like their tying exclusive FL content in with the kickstarter rewards, but it's their prerogative.

>>26615755
that literally sounds too good to be true

>>26615950
twitter as well, but when they shifted to the storynexus engine, it broke it, and they never bothered to fix it. I'm fairly sure darkdrop coffee is supposed to be the replacement, but that might've been around since before.

>>26616001
yeah, i keep hoping another questionnaire card shows up so i can get more of those

I can't decide if I want to spend my 131 echoes on upgrading my boots slightly or saving it to get the fedora...

How much fate do you gain by answering the mystery questions correctly? Does anyone know the correct answers because I have no fucking clue what they might be.

>>26616073
hopefully enough to save my crazy aunt from hell so i can stop getting that dumb card

>>26616073
you don't. theoretically, anyone who's answered correctly when the answers get revealed will get fate, but most of the answers got revealed a long time ago, and no one has gotten anything.
I know most of the ones that aren't street names

>>26616119

"story goes that spiders drink from your eyes while you sleep"

Damn, this thread exploded with activity.
I'm still following the Heart's Desire ambition. Chilling with a monkey near a church.

>>26616291
kinda funny how that is actually a pretty mild activity for fallen london

>>26616425
Well, I did go insane and hit 8 nightmare deciphering my way to the Forgotten Quarter. And I'm about to hit 8 scandal.

Since this seems fairly active: Is the living story for raising dangerous really the only one that you can't get even at high levels? Or is it just hidden somewhere?

>>26616783
Are you talking about the Vake ambition? Yeah, I believe that's the only one that's not complete right now.

>>26616828
Actually, no.
Certain early storylets in Veilgarden/Ladybones Road/Spite will give "A living story will begin soon" upon success (or rare success in Veilgarden). A week later you will receive a message, which will give you a stat boost roughly equal to the boost from a trade secret.

You always accesses the ones I mentioned, but I couldn't find anything like this for dangerous, hence me asking.

>>26616879
ohhhh so that's what those are...
i never knew

>>26616879
Ah sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. But yeah I don't know any of those.

>>26616879
I searched the Wiki and I found this

A Name Written in Blood They will respect your might, or they will suffer for it. (Triggered by some Dangerous actions.)

>>26617009
See >>26616997, is that what you were talking about?

>>26617012

Yep, that's what the living story message looks like. The storylets that give the "A living story will begin soon" message all get locked at higher levels though.

>>26617042
To clarify, dangerous is the only quality where you can't access those storylets after a certain level.

Does anyone know how to raise your Bohemian Connections?

>>26617137
Hang out in Veilgarden, find a typewriter and use it, become an Author, or (I think) find them at Mrs. Plenty's carnival.

>>26617614
In general, if your connections are less than 10, Mrs. Plenty's Carnival is always a good idea. (The only exception is the Masters.)

>>26616073
>>26616119
I've just been assuming the Mysteries answers are a giant suggestion box. They're more fun that way.

So, has anyone found any option that gives you fate points?

>>26618991
You get a very few at the end of a few storylines.

>>26619010
Seriously? Do you remember any of those storylines?

>>26619026
uhhh

The Recalling Surface Ties series of storylets, the Face-Tailor story, if they're still giving that out, the Cheesemonger story, a certain branch of romances in the Empress's court...

>>26619167
yeah i got three i think from cheesemonger

>>26619167
is the face-tailor the one with the strange little idol?

>>26622395

Do it. 60 Echoes for an Exceptional Short Story, or the chance to become a full-fledged author.

Also, guys, let's talk about some of the mysteries of Fallen London:

WARNING: SPOILERS

Why did the Masters betray Mr. Eaten? Because of Egypt?
What is the price that is not known that the Empress will pay, or already is paying?
Is "Icarus" the Bazaar personified? Is the Correspondence (sometimes referred to as the correspondence between lovers) that between it and the Sun?
Who the hell does Feducci work for? The Presbyter? Hell?
Who are the Finger-Kings? Are they from Parabola? Are they the "ultimate big bad"?
What is the Nadir?

>>26622709

The price the Empress paid dwells in the Palace basements.

>>26622709
i don't know about the story but "nadir" means the lowest point or something and is the opposite of the Zenith which is the highest point

so maybe hell or something

>>26622727

I am at Persuasive 100 (with items) and a common sight at the inner court, but have not yet had a chance to investigate Her Majesty's cellars. Bracing for horrors.

Also, her puppy is the Eater-of-Chains, right? What exactly IS the Eater-of-Chains, other than a terrifying archetype of a canine?

>>26622819
oh shit
i thought i killed that thing...

>>26622819
There's no way I can spoil that one without being too obvious, so I'll just ask you: where do you find the Eater-of-Chains?

>>26622905

I'm not sure whether I have the right idea but I do have an idea that makes sense, I suppose.

I also still wonder what the Masters are, exactly. Bats or fallen angels seem unlikely considering that those are the two options the game wants you to consider.

alright. i'm convinced that this stupid plant is fucking with me on purpose

>>26623447
Feed me, Londoner!

I tried Fallen London but I got bored cause of all the grinding, which was a shame as I liked the stories. Is it still there?

>>26628516

Caberet Noir or sommat.

>>26628086
Mr. Wines, thank you very much.

>>26627991

They've almost completely divorced things from Facetwitters, so that's less of a problem. If you want a lot of second chance items quickly, though, you're gonna have to have a buddy playing to do social actions with.

Not necessary, but convenient.

>A girl holds up a small box. 'Daddy, I can't make it work.' Her father takes it from her. It has a picture of a smiling child painted on the lid, and bears the slogan 'With Joy, from the Hill'. He opens the box and takes out a mannequin; a red-jacketed toy soldier. He smiles, and ruffles her hair. 'Don't worry. It's clockwork. I'll see if I can set it going."
