My non-Seeker alt has all the luck in the Forgotten Quarter. I ground up to the Nadir with my Seeker. Never saw a skull (I had to ask a kind third party for that). The most valuable thing I got on any of the expeditions was one bottle of Airag - the rest was mostly trembling amber. Which sells for all of 12.5 echoes and has no function whatsoever.

After doing all that, my non-Seeker had finally acquired enough Watchful to mess around in the quarter, and has since been buried in skulls and night-whispers. Night-whispers! On a plate!

What I'm saying is, I'm pretty sure the RNG is punishing me for having a non-Seeker alt here.


That's just one interpretation. Perhaps the RNG is *rewarding* your non-Seeker for being good, and thereby trying to induce you to give up your self-destructive curiosity. ;-)

I have sinned, in potentially damning everyone in London by agreeing to the Bishops plan for war.
I have sinned by blowing up the embassy at the behest of a radical group.
Worse I created the bifurcated owl and feed it regularly. Such a nice little abomination.


I've done all of the above, except I can't bring myself to consider any of it sinful! The Cheesemonger was pursuing sensible (if violent) diplomacy until she ran off the rails (when I had her packed away to a safe place), Hell deserves to be destroyed, and my owl is such a cute little horror!

I have sinned, I killed people for the Cheesemonger, the card was clogging up my deck for months and I didn't just want to bundle her off to the Church and let the Great Game spin on uninterrupted.

  • I have sinned, I sacrificed a bird to the Statue of the Thief of Faces, I didn't know what the Garden really was (don't kill flying things) but I knew I wanted it, and a bird was such a small price.
    I have sinned, I told the Bishop not to invade Hell, I'm really looking to go back on that one at a later date if possible without replaying the story
    I have sinned, I broke up the Absconding Devil and his Singer, they might've really had something there.
    I have sinned, I probably super killed some people blowing up that wall in the Brass Embassy but I just couldn't let it slip me by.

    I have sinned by not maxing out my Hedonist before being locked out of the Court and University.

    I pursued the Once-Dashing Smuggler's storyline just long enough to earn a point of Connected: Master's so that I can offload my aunt for sweet, sweet action refreshes.

    For that matter I'm offloading my aunt on the Masters, which is probably not a thing to wish even on overlord bat-beasts.

    I killed the Cheesemonger and many players of the Great Game.

    I refuse to spend fate on saving my aunt from the Devils. Aunt Esmerelda be damned!

    I killed some Heiress who had a romance with a Clay Man.

    I've traded my Shepard's Timepiece for a Spirifer's Fork because the cider grind is long and The Affairs of the Box and The Fidgeting Writer have been getting on my nerve and it turns out spirifage is shockingly profitable. Besides, I'm really just running a scam to steal the souls I sell from other spirifers. So it's not like I'm stealing the souls myself. And those souls were going to be sold to devils anyway. So I'm not actually a bad person. Right?

    I have sinned, I enacted the Cheesemonger's plan. I believed in it, I believed that it could change things and stop the Great Game from hurting innocents, but I knew the pain and death I'd bring in doing so.

    I have sinned, I beat up the Wilting Dandy in order to gain favours with the Masters, even though I plan their downfall.

    I have sinned, I lied to the Knotted Sock urchins at Old Downy, promising I'd bring the shard of the Mountain of Light back, but it was never my intention.

    I have sinned, I blew a hole in the Embassy, voted for the Bishop of Southwark, encouraged him to enact his plan, and have usually acted against devils at any chance I get. I really dislike devils.

    I have sinned, I made it to the gate leading North but did not have the conviction to step through.

    I have sinned, I did not spare the Forger for the sake of a good story to tell the Bazaar.

    My greatest sin, however, is skipping through a large portion of the early game's text. A lot of it is a half-remembered haze at this point.

    I have sinned... Zinaida Gorenko is quite religious - extremely unorthodox, but religious. (Gettting Scarlet Saint for her wasn't just a matter of bragging rights.) In particular, she's a member of the CVR, and she takes it very seriously. But when the only route forward to finding her lover's murderer lay through a devil, she paid his bribe.

    My Seeker has cold-bloodedly decided to postpone the end of the latest Exceptional Story until they either reach Saint Arthur's Candle or possess a Night Whisper.

    This is the kind of thing that the Knave of Regrets card was meant for, I suspect.

    I gave in to greed for the lone treasure of the seeker and allowed a damned parasite to regain its hold on my body. I've maimed it thoroughly, but as it isn't dead or gone, it's still a sin in my book.

    I sold an eyeless skull to the Revolutionaries, advancing the Liberation of Night. Oh, and then I found out that I needed that to reach the Cave of the Nadir. Sigh.

    It also took me a while to figure out what the Journal was for, and so my first days in Fallen London are an unremembered haze.

    Additionally, I did some really depraved things with the Curate and his sister. And it wasn't even in character; I was just curious!

    I have sinned for I oft choose the route I find most profitable, or most interesting, and not the route which may be "best."

    I have sinned for I seek perpetually knowledge which I have not earned.

    I have sinned! Well not really, a being cannot truly sin since...*cough*...ahem...
    I've...
    ...freed a Prince of Hell (and actually had a pleasant time doing it).
    ...fed more than a dozen people to my semi-sentient plant "Fluffy the Second".
    ...doomed all of London by "buying" Paris for the Masters, thus making the next Fall draw ever so closer.
    ...slept with Bee...er, demons.
    ...murdered a Rubbery person (it was an accident I swear!).
    ...done lewd things under the influence of honey and wine.
    ...doomed to a drowny fate many a of innocent zailors while doing pirating raids.
    ...conspired, manipulated and betrayed countless numbers of people.
    ...stolen things from the Bazaar, the Brass Embassy and so-so.
    ...made out, frenchy-style, with a severed head.

    And the list goes on. Regardless all those petty trifles, I'm still a very nice and gentle person, honest! I can swear that on my 1-st and 4-th wife's grave and soul! (Ah, don't believe the tells though - their deaths were clearly the faults of badly crafted stairscases and bat guano).

    I have sinned.

    I have sold my soul. Three times.
    I have manipulated London's people to my own ends.
    I have committed obscene acts upon the throne of the Traitor-Empress herself.
    I have deliberately sought exile to pursue lewd associations with certain bandaged individuals.
    I have so deeply immersed myself in carnality that even one of the Masters has expressed a wish that it could desire me.

    My sin, by and large, is Lust, and I have raised it up above the thrones of the heavens.

    And OOC, I have sinned... by unleashing the creature confessing above. :'D
