September ES: Where You and I Must Go

Fallen London
201

can anyone tell me to what previous ES the woman mentioned at the captain’s notes ties to?

202

The woman ties to Flint and The Waltz That Moved The World, albeit in different ways, I think.[li]

Hi everyone! I just tried a 1 month sub to the game and am now an Exceptional Friend… but I still can’t play this story? All the 3 stories show &quotlocked&quot.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

You gotta go to the House of Chimes on your map and unlock it.

205

I thought this month you started it at breakwater house? That’s what it says when you enter anyways.

206

Seems you start it there, pop over to Chimes, then pop back? I think?

207

Thanks. Tried that, but still locked :(

Thank you, but how did the REST of the players gain access to that storyline?

Oh, this one was a beep to figure out . . .

If you’ve played through absolutely everything of the opening storylets, try going back to Breakwater’s Parlour, then visit Bluejacket - what was previously locked should then be unlocked . . . that will allow you to progress to the main story.[/quote]

[color=#ff9900]Hiya, could you send us a bug report about this? We recently made a change so Exceptional Friends should no longer need to unlock this story at the House of Chimes. The first of the season’s stories should be showing up as unlocked for current Exceptional Friends.

At the top of my Fallen London account, the headbar says “September’s Exceptional Story: Where You and I Must Go” but then the storylet says “An Exceptional Story: Murder on the Front Page!” I’m not an Exceptional Friend, but I’m wondering if this is a bug I should be reporting, or if it’s just a discrepancy between names.

211

This is just a discrepancy. &quotWhere You and I Must Go&quot is the name of the story, while &quotMurder on the Front Page!&quot is the name of the opening storylet that leads to the start of Exceptional Story. [li]

212

Bug Report sent!

I probably know the answer, but I’ll ask anyway: this ES’s navigation removes all qualities like any other zailing, right? That 1 CP of DT is nice!

214

It actually doesn’t! (Or didn’t when I played it. FBG do sometimes tweak the mechanics throughout the month but I haven’t heard of any significant changes to the zailing part)

215

All fixed!

Thanks, Failbetter Games :)

I wonder how this new mechanism of accessing Exceptional Stories will work? Currently, it looks like a purple bar with “Exceptional Story” over the relevant branch. But it doesn’t identify any kind of eligibility criteria. Will it just be set manually by FBG?..

217

They probably mean that you can only do the stories under the text that says it if you are an exceptional friend(even if you have everything else needed for the action, also, no idea why I said probably when I know this from experience and its most likely just that).

…

…

You know, I was all for letting the dude do whatever he wanted and telling the Bluejacket the truth. drums his fingers on his desk

Right up until he threatened me.

Fortunately I have a handy coffin nearby with his name on it eh?

so, wait, I’m not mistaken in noticing that there wasn’t a uniting story utilizing the keepsake items from the last two ES this month, right (the What Might Be An Ear and Special’s Lucky Knuckles). Will we get one at the end of the Season of Wrecks, or am I mistaken and one has already happened and passed me by?

Last season’s tie in is coming, but they said it likely won’t be this week. Probably one for the season of wrecks too.
