I was intrigued to note that I had managed to finagle my way into having multiple Destinies - fortunately, I’ve been informed that they’re not planning to directly remove the extra, as it will go away when I swap Destiny. I have no intention of swapping my Destiny, of course! That would take away all the fun.
Anyway, I ran through the content three times - four, counting my alt account - with a different Visitor choice each time. What exciting insights! Well done to Failbetter, as ever. edited by ashdenej on 10/31/2013

My main character’s last visitor was the Bishop of Southwark. In the dream that followed, I chose the Bishop once more. The outcome can be read in the Journal on my character’s profile.
Once more, stunning writing and continued mystery~
Agreed! Much love! This event, combined with the new (well, still new to me at least) Forgotten Quarter content, and the hints and snippets of other crunchy, delicious stories to come, have prodded me into a new Exceptional Friend subscription.
My only complaint is that I’m unable to follow ALL the paths and read ALL the stories :p I really want to find out more about all the visitors, particularly the magician! Though in the end I chose the devil because my character has put a lot of work into that connection. (I’ve only got one character, creating multiple, while very tempting, is just too much trouble with all the extra account things to keep track of) [/rambling]

Damn! I was hoping that my interpretation of your message was accurate. Ah, well.[/li]
Happy Hallowmas! Job well done.

It’s been Spooktacular. Thank you for the lovely word thingies. Stories, or something.
Very happy Hallowmas. Thanks Alexis this has been very intriguing. So many possible choices but, as a Seeker, I had to choose the one that might help along the road to the name.[li]
I’ve also very much enjoyed the event and though I’m quite satisfied with my choice of destiny I still can’t help but wish I could have them all. Each one I’ve glimpsed seems intriguing and the destiny items are all lovely, as well. Still, I’m thrilled with the one I picked :-)
Has anyone made the choice to save the Captivating Princess? The outcome of that particular option is very intriguing to me and I would love to find out which future and destiny awaits those who’d chosen that one.
Thank you for sharing that, that was a fantastic little piece of story. I was extremely content with my choice, but now I’m /almost/ regretting not escaping with her to become sort of a new Topsy King.
Has anyone got info on the Chill of the Void options (regarding the conversation)? There’s 4 choices, of which 1 is fate-locked (10 fate). Is it worth getting it, or are the bonuses from all the choices comparable? I’m not a hardcore FL player, so I don’t want to waste fate on something that might not provide much interesting content.
All regular options give a destiny which gives +5 to one stat; the Nex ones give +5 to one and +3 to another.
The nex options are a bit more illuminating, but everything is really interesting regardless.
Stats-wise the Fate-locked destinies seem to provide an extra +3 in an additional stat different to the base +5 stat everyone’s destiny gives them.
I’d just go with whatever choice would best suit your character. I did do the Fate-locked option on Chill of the Void but that was because it was my main account and that was the choice that character would have made, no question.

I’ve enjoyed this festival and all its portents. One thing I wonder about, though: what’s their real relation to the endgame? I seem to remember that it will be possible to continue playing after reaching it, but given the… definiteness of many of these outcomes, it would seem that they must represent quite distant futures set in motion, perhaps, but not actually contained within the endgame.
