Just played the opportunity card “An anonymous tip-off”. Got the standard hastily scrawled note. However, I appear to have also picked up a new venture entitled “Someone is Coming”. The description simply states “Someone will be here soon.” Intriguing. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a rare-success for the card or something new akin to “Recalling a Dream of Other Places”?
The announcement also mentioned Conflict cards, and I can confirm seeing it on the Rubbery Men/Revolutionary conflict card. (The pro-Revolutionary side) It’s in the Progress section, so I wonder if going to Zee or the places of Menace reset it- I was planning on heading to Zee in the next few days, so I might be able to learn that then.
It seems to show up primariily on cards people tend to throw away without a second thought. Which means it’s likely this quality is a deliberate attempt to increase the percieved value of these cards.
Hmm, I’ve gotten the quality to 6 “Just over your shoulder”, and still nothing new that I can tell. So, that’s 21 actions so far. Unless the reward is very good, I don’t see it helping out much with cards people normally just toss.
The quality is reset when you use it, and there were multiple options. They all require SiC 6, and all but one requires some other quality on top of that. Most of them require you to have played a low-level Fate-locked storyline. The actual payoff is worth 12 Echoes, if I remember correctly, so well worth the investment. I’ll leave you to discover the details yourself. edited by Patrick Reding on 3/24/2012
At least it’s not The Part Where He Kills You. :)[/quote]
Loved that.
GladOS: Well, this is the part where he kills us.
Wheately: Hello! This is the part where I kill you!
Chapter 9: The part where he kills you
Achievement Unlocked: The part where he kills you
One of those “repeat until funny” gags. Oh a side note, I’m at 8, almost 9, for the quality. So far nothing. edited by Urthdigger on 3/25/2012
I’m nearing 10, personally. I tend to build up my Connected: Whatever through balancing them out with those conflict cards. I do wonder how many named levels there are; apparently I’m very busy studiously ignoring the person Just Behind My Shoulder.
I got the card at 4, but the choices require a 6 quality. I got 4 mourning candles out of it… But in any case, the conflict cards are better now, so this storylet is just a welcome bonus.
There are 6 choices; one get you Primordial Shrikes with no requirement, one get you Visions of the Surface but requires you to be a POSI, the others requires the fate-locked storylines (Long Lost Daughter, Rubbery Murders, Soul Trade)
Edit: The quality is gone after playing the card. edited by Byron Man on 3/25/2012
A curious observation: One of the options on the card is unlocked by the quality Your Very Own Infernal Contract. The text is “Lost your soul, eh? Well, I might just have it here! And your contract too!”
No.
I haven’t lost my soul.
I’ve sold it numerous times and every time I did, I made sure to get it back. It’s currently in my possession - rather tattered and stained, but still, it’s in my possession.
I understand what’s meant to be said here, but as it stands, the text is irrelevant to me (and rather a lot of other people) and yet it’s unlocked. It should either be rewritten, or the quality should be removed when you regain your soul.
