I keep coming here and thinking "I don't really want to clutter things up with tiny questions that could maybe be answered quickly", so why don't we just make a thread for them?
Little question 1: Does anyone know what the heck to do with "A Devilish Passenger"? He was doing illegal things on Carillion and I offered to take him away.

Sorry last one: Yesterday I experienced a slowdown in speed when travelling in the Reach. I was superslow, probably half the speed it usally goes. But when I encountered some bees the locomotive suddenly gained a massive speed boost and then when I was out of reach from the bees the locomotive slowed down again. Can someone explain to me what happened and how the game regulates speed? Thanks a bunch

Oh I just remembered a question I had when I played yesterday: Why is the hp system gone? I mean there's not display of enemies health at all except that their ships start burning when it's almost done for.
This! It makes me reluctant to engage with any potential enemies because I can't really visualise how my little engine's pop-rocket is going to fare against the various foes of the Reach.

Wow, long time since I’ve been here.
So, I’m not sure if this counts as a quick question, but I didn’t want to start a new topic for it either, so here goes.
I’ve been noodling about the game and not really enjoying it (seriously, it is BLEAK) - my plan was to do Song of the Skies & then have a second captain pursue the martyr king’s cup and / or the truth. I’m actually in a position to finish the Song (at least once I escape Eleutheria) but decided I wanted to see all the regions & finish the officer stories first. Right now I’m parked at Langley Hall (I’ve not visited thd Blue Kingdom yet) & feeling totally fatigued at the prospect of exploring this dismal region and doing yet more fetch quests. So, I suppose my questions are as follows:
1) is anything remotely cheerful ever going to happen?
2) if I abandon my plans, get back to London asap & start the truth, how much content would I have to repeat? What carries forward?
3) could anyone who has pursued the truth / MKC tell me if they found the narrative fulfilling? Almost everything I’ve done so far has left me cold.
4) is the felined eccentric’s story fun, charming etc? Does anything bad happen to the cats?
5) what is the deal with the Avid Horizon cults? I’ve joined one but I don’t really understand why I’m pursuing membership of these groups.
I don’t mean to sound unduly negative - I’m really just looking for a steer on how I can hopefully get a bit more enjoyment from the game and how to avoid losing too much more time doing the same sort of thing over & over. It may well be that the game just isn’t for me, but I’m reluctant to abandon it without seeing the heart of the content after already ploughing so much time into it.
