I'd love the Palace Cellars finished. Not because I care about the story, no, but because I'm bitter about my character being irrevocably damaged because I didn't check the wiki before playing a card. Same goes for the Struggling Artist. It's fine that there are junk cards in our decks, it's not so fine that there are avoidable yet unremovable junk cards in our decks.

How can you irrevocably damage your character in the palace cellars? I'm looking at the wiki and don't see anything like that...

Thank you, Chris for some fascinating insights. Most interesting to me was the fact that some branches are what you call "bizarrely popular". I'm not sure what this covers, but I adore expeditions and the whole archaeology branch. I could do them all day if I didn't run out of supplies. I think it's the romance, myself...!

The "A Nocturnal Visitor to the Palace Cellars" attribute is avoidable but impossible to get rid of, and the card that initially gives it is locked with high shadowy. Ergo, it's possible to entirely avoid having a palace cellars card cluttering your deck, though difficult to avoid if you're a new player who's just playing stories that come along.

Love the Iron Republic and the Cave of the Nadir. I also love the Frostfound text. Such vibrant imagery.

That kind of makes sense. Every single player will see this non-discardable card when their nightmares get high. And the mysterious phrase "substantial treasure" will pique anyone's interest. As a marketing case study, it's hard to beat an ubiquitous message plus alluring promises of treasure.

I was just bummed that the rarest option on this card was invisible until I already had several magnificent diamonds. I first found out a almost a year after I started playing. Otherwise I would have pursued it much earlier in the game.

Oddly fitting. I remember few things from back when I first started playing, but the Merry Gentleman's card really imprinted itself into my memory. There's something awfully menacing about the interaction when you still don't understand the world of FL. I'm surprised but happy to hear he gets lots of gifts.

I can't tell you how much fate I'd pay for the option to murder him horribly rather than give him a gift. I feel the same way about him as most of you feel about the Mooching Artist :P

I imagine its way harder to track but I wonder how many people intentionally raised their nightmares so they could play that branch (I happen to know its at least one....)
As for the original complaints, I've also been frustrated at times about lack of content, especially in respects to story cards that can no longer be progressed (the cellar especially) but I've also found plenty of ways to entertain myself while I wait which has distinctly lessened the sting. I'm incredibly grateful for FBG being so dedicated to keeping such large swaths of the game completely free, even if I've played most of that content to completion on my main

Once you learn his backstory, you'll find out he most definitely is NOT.
