The downsides of unprepared curio investigating might need to be tweaked as well, so that over-investigating curios could easily lead to a party's death or retreat. I gotta get that extra resolve, after all. It wouldn't rocket a character through the low levels, but it would give me a solid reason to risk disease and stress. Here's my theoretical change: For every X curios a character investigates before the end of a successful quest, that character gains an extra resolve (exp) point.***
That way, having an item is really, really good, and finding a curio you're unprepared for becomes more than 'well, better keep on walking'. What we really need is a compelling reason to poke at curios, whether we have its corresponding item or not. At the moment curios feel like they are a reward for the people that bought the right items ahead of time, but they could be so much more. If I don't have a curios matching item, I have very little reason to risk touching it. At this point, my adventurers just kinda roll over whatever they run into.Īs I look back over my adventures, I think I see a bit of a flaw with the whole curio system: relics, or extra supplies on missions I've fully upgraded every building in town, gathered lots of good trinkets, and have 150,000+ gold saved up. Now I'm in the endgame, and I don't touch curios at all. Maybe it's my own fault for walking around with radiant light all of the time. I dunno, the curios rewards seemed kinda lackluster at the time. I'd use any keys or things I found inside the dungeon in a heartbeat, of course. In fact, I'd do that even if I didn't have the right items on hand.Īs you might have guessed, those characters ended up with more than their fair share of diseases and mental breakdowns.Īs I delved a bit deeper into the game, I stopped buying the curio-unlocking items.
I'd buy one holy water, a key, and a disease-curing thingamajig, ready to throw my intrepid heroes at whatever intriguing object happened to cross their path. When I jumped into this game a few weeks back, I was all about curios.
