So, if there is a skill check that presents you two skills demands (eg streetwise and trade), what does it mean? That you need some points in both? Or only one of them?

Sum in both, like streetwise + trader = 7

Okay so here's a legit question that upsets me a lot.

How the hell, after 3469873496 demos, previews, re-previews, early accesses and whatever the fuck, does this game still have something like shoving a weapon you can't use into your hands before combat starts? It's already silly as hell that in those assassino vignettes I keep using a crossbow I neither have nor can use, but the moment I have to waste 4 AP at the start of a fight just to switch to my regular goddamn weapon, well, that's no longer silly, it's just idiotic as shit.

I'll take a look at it. We had some technical limitations at the time, then nobody complained. I tweaked several of those, but forgot about a few it seems.

Yeah, but the point is to support the developers so they can continue making great games, not screw them over. This is one I'd happily pay full price for.
Well for 1/4 of my meager economies it would need to be the roman fallout I expected before the teron demo was released. Closer to the price of underrail or at least SitS/SR games is more within my budget.

I'm doing a talky Merchant. If I ever have to go into combat I am FUCKED. :D (well Alchemy *might* save me).
Et tu? I expected Infinitron to go happy merchant, become the ruler behind the scenes and shape the civilization to what we know today.

I am a gigantic story fag, and the talker way through would have the most dialogue and story. After that, then I will do a combat run.

Congratulations, played the demo quite a bit, but not for the last year. Looking forward to playing it in all it's glory.
Going to be a Loremaster/talker :)

Have you tried loremaster? I'm a bit unsure whether to play merchant or loremaster...?

A Merchant/Loremaster hybrid was one of the most memorable playthroughs for me in an earlier Early Access version of the game. You could try that.

I'm just gonna pick everyone's pockets and die a bunch since that's what I do in real life.

They can overlap a lot. I started with a strong Merchant focus (just a dash of Lore) but I think it's pretty hard to not get wrapped in the mysteries of the world and increase your Lore and Crafting (both good for uncovering mysteries). I couldn't resist it at least, though there were plenty of things I didn't find out still since I didn't bump those enough.

Has anyone come close to getting all Steam achievements? There should be a nice Codex reward for that. I'd help chip in. Imagine the possibilities!

What patches? AoD was on early access for a loooong time, I don't think there will be any serious post-release patching cycle as any critical thing must have already been caught by now.
