Doublepost but for a good cause: Age of Decadence is %40 off on Steam right now and will be for 47 hours. So if you want to buy it, now is the time.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/230070/

Edit: Also, a new update is coming out! Tricksy Vince!

Quote from: Vince
The next update will be released in a week or so and will contain:

Huge performance boost in Ganezzar, minor boosts in other locations
Animation speed now goes up to 4x.
Separate animation speed for combat and exploration
If a crossbow is loaded, a new icon shows the number of loaded bolts in the inventory screen.
Pressing "R" reloads the last used bolts in crossbows.
Option to hide skill tags in dialogues.
New camera option: follow the player’s character.
Separate camera modes for combat and exploration. For example, the camera can follow the player while moving in real time and switch to free camera in combat.

Nice job!

House Daratan already likes us and thus I'm tempted to side with them, but perhaps we can meet some of the other faction heads and then decide?  House Crassus in particular is interesting for a loremaster.

I was under the impression that being the Chosen One was a faction of sorts?  But better to ignore the speaker.

House Crassus and the Chosen One are linked together.

The best bet for loremasters is actually House Aurelian as there are two lore (one of which I've never explored) areas which require you to be on the Aurelian questline, I believe we can get both if we just wander off to Maadoran and try to join them. But from my experience to actually join them we have to defect to them from another faction. If we pledge after meeting Gaelius we will just get the trait "Liegeman: Aurelian." Believe this is the same case for House Daratan. We can't even defect to them though, have to start as a praetor. Helping a faction find the temple and being part of their questline are two different things which I think should probably be explained better.

That being said, due to how the chapters\towns work in this game we would be at the end of the game by the time we met them all, so I'll just give a description of them.

Spoiler: Lords (click to show/hide)

Also, worth mentioning that even if we join a faction and hate the leader there are usually a good bit of ways to betray them, or give someone else power.

Edit: Yeah, we can't join House Daratan.
Quote from: Elohim
Being a Liegeman doesn't open any different storylines, it's more of "promise" of defending his interests (like bringing the temple to him). The Praetor background deals with the House Daratan side of the story. The guards continued with their plans when you left town.

We might add a way to join HD as any other background, but probably after release.
This is a bit old so it might not be the case, but I'm pretty sure it is the same.

Another day, another part.

Spoiler: Wanderings and Waylays (click to show/hide)

Options are still the same, I think it worth mentioning that I'm sorta looking for a portrait for Vibius so it is more clear who is talking. Probably not a big deal, but if anyone has suggestions I wouldn't mind.

Since our only choices are either Merchants or Thieves, I've decided to go with the MG. We'll see where this path takes us.


Edit: It's update time! Mostly quality of life stuff and bugfixes.

Since I've mentioned it several times and I forgot that they released an image, here is a bit from the dungeon crawler Iron Tower has been working on.

So, does anyone have any objections to me delaying this another week? I would like to give people time to catch up before I start the second section of the game.

And it's only going to get thicker from here.

Actual spoiler really, even if a visual one.

Well, House Aurelian would probably the one then. They have a pretty good loremaster that we can talk to and also aren't run by Feng Strabos. I'm mostly putting this up to poll because it is a pretty major splitting point in the LP, if we leave the MG we aren't coming back. Not that we've actually benefited from being a part of it, we got a book and 250 imperials after giving them Teron. Sure Teron isn't a major city, but we gave them a Noble House puppet, and a land to stage a mercenary invasion!
