[quote=Tigerfort]Actually, one more thing: I’ve always enjoyed going into new FL content blind, role-playing my character learning their way around this strange world they’ve found themselves in. As a result of the new system I’ve found myself going to the wiki and looking up things I’m about to do to check whether I’m wearing the outfit for the skillchecks I can’t predict.
I’ve always played FL for the story, and this change is making me spoil the story for myself, because the alternative is that the new mechanic might lock me out of one-time chances and permanently affect my progress in non-repeatable content like my in-the-final-stretch ambition.
It’s making the game so much less fun, in so many ways.[/quote]
Exactly my problem. What’s worse is that you can’t do this with Exceptional storylets. Thanks to this discussion, I know not to try playing Paisley until this gets resolved one way or the other. But I haven’t played a single ES from this march on, and now I am loathe to for fear of being locked out of a crucial option.That doesn’t seem to be the intended experience…
