Master Chieve
I beat Return of the Obra Dinn!
Quinn Angstrom
Blighty
I love this game a huge amount
Quinn Angstrom
it's probably the game that has made my think brain do the most work
Blighty
murder mystery, haunted ship, some fantastic elements
Blighty
super extremely challenging but never felt it was unfair
Blighty
and winning felt so good
Blighty
I also appreciate that knowing Mandarin gave me an extra level of depth to some bits
Master Chieve
nice
Master Chieve
There were
Master Chieve
TWO BITS
Master Chieve
that made me actively angry
Master Chieve
One of which involved me yelling at Wighty for an extended period for which I am sorry
Master Chieve
Other than those it's a game that is Hard But Fair
Master Chieve
And those bits could have been different for different people
Master Chieve
It's all just around not seeing specific bits of evidence
Quinn Angstrom
yeah it's one of those games where everyone will have a different Hardest Part
Quinn Angstrom
just based on some mental die rolls
連続犬
you basically blew past one of my BIG mental hurdles, so
連続犬
yeah
Master Chieve
which one was that?
連続犬
hammocks
Master Chieve
ah
Master Chieve
I noticed the numbers super early on, actually
連続犬
i spent a good 2 hours alone on hammocks
Blighty
did you yell at me...
Master Chieve
but didn't connect the numbers to the crew roster until way later
Blighty
oh the second cannon guy
Master Chieve
Blighty
: Yeah that
Blighty
haha you were fine no worries
Blighty
oh did you connect the hammocks to the SHOES
Blighty
I had zero idea about that
Master Chieve
what
Blighty
that's the key to the chinese topmen
Master Chieve
no I didn't at all
Master Chieve
Oh
Blighty
you can't see them in their hammocks but you see their legs/shoes?
Master Chieve
I just did some inspired guessing for the chinese topmen
Blighty
yes same
Blighty
I googled it after AF mentioned it and I was like WHAT
Master Chieve
ahaha
Echo
Congratulations. : D
Tonberry King
hurrah~
Tonberry King
second cannon guy sucks
Tonberry King
also I remember seeing a tattoo on an arm or leg hanging out of the hammock and I was all over the place trying to match that one
Master Chieve
dang there's a bunch of clues I never even noticed
Quinn Angstrom
yeah there's a LOT going on
Master Chieve
I kept on trying to jump or duck for the entire game
Master Chieve
to get a closer look at some things
knotsferatu
the bit that made me curse outloud was
knotsferatu
connecting a hammock to a SWORD
knotsferatu
because i had been driving myself insane and i saw it right at the end
Master Chieve
I...didn't notice that either
Master Chieve
Now what
Master Chieve
That game was all I could think about
Master Chieve
Until I solved it
Master Chieve
And now I'm DONE
Quinn Angstrom
solve the Masquerade treasure hunt ARG
Quinn Angstrom
that's equivalently hard right
Quinn Angstrom
no! Cain's Jawbone.
Quinn Angstrom
do that one
Blighty
yeah apparently i missed half the clues somehow
Blighty
i love that everyone barely made it through thinking 'man there were just enough clues for me to win' and then we talk about it
Blighty
and we realize we all missed all the clues
連続犬
yeah hammocks was the hardest part for me for exactly this reason
連続犬
there are SO MANY FUCKING CLUES in the hammock area
Tonberry King
I remember having a moment of like, "This crewman has a turban....." picks the one Indian guy in the register
Tonberry King
the choice is correct
Tonberry King
".....I don't feel good about that deduction."
Dirk Warhard
My favorite dumb subtle clue is that the helmsman and artist are both marked as able to be identified from just seeing the pictures of everybody at the start of the book. The artist because you mark him by his signature, and the helmsman because he's got his hand on the fucking wheel and nobody else
Dirk Warhard
on the boat would ever be allowed to touch it.
Master Chieve
the helmsman was actually one of the last people I got
Quinn Angstrom
yeah it's a whole Thing that nobody other than the helmsman is ever allowed to physically touch the wheel in any way
Quinn Angstrom
or they'd probably get shot
Tonberry King
I think someone pointed out that the helmsman isn't even there during the execution scene, or he's standing somewhere else
Tonberry King
so it's the artist taking the liberty
knotsferatu
didnt the artist die from squid while pooping
Master Chieve
he did
Tonberry King
yup
