Incline Age of Decadence - Tips, Tricks and Spoilers

There is no gain to increase CHA to 8 from 7

it gives you extra 20-40 SP
basically, charisma to diplomat is the same as perception to fighter

 

[Atchodas]

Ye i understand what u trying to say but my point was that you either go 7 for training and conversations or go 9 and convince that preacher

Also i forgot to mention that going as high as 9 CHA will open some reputation possibilities that wont happen otherwise for example Getting trained by both Feng and Cassius i only managed to do this with a Grifter-Merchant who had 9 CHA ,
there are other instances where high CHA gives you reputation bonuses that you can use for your advantage but all this requires metagaming - Hamza training is something that comes in mind , without CHA you wont be able to get trained by him before you finish Maadoran questline ( and depends how you finish u might not get the training ) meanwhile with some CHA he trains you after first guild quest in maadoran

It was there. Brandon is a guy who made few of the first youtube guides, I believe.

I believe it's Vahhabyte. Sunfire's name is Ivan.

Just started AoD with a merchant character.
It's exactly the opposite of Underrail, instead of traveling back and forth you can teleport everywhere!(sometimes too much teleportation)
Any tips for early game?!

 

[Old One]

Any tips for early game?!

As a merchant? Focus on merchanty skills, and don't get into any fights.

Beyond that, just make your choices and let the story pull you along.

i've been meaning to ask you about this interesting tidbit where a loremaster in ganezzar use numerology to describe the gods and qantari demons and their allegiance. i think those are pretty clever and you put some stuff to reinforce him. there are 7 of those who dwelt in the void between the stars. there are 7 coffins in al-akia. they split into 3 and 4 because that way the other wouldn't easily overwhelm the other. there are 3 buried gods in the ruins of old empire.

did you base this on some real numerology concept or you came up with it yourself? how did you get the idea to use those concept for that one loremaster's explanation/interpretation?
i think numerology used IRL is most of the time bullshit, but within some fictional / philosophical concept it can be quite fascinating.

 

[axedice]

He probably used the reference to tell that people who believe in bullshit like numerology are successful only when it comes to dealing with ignorant masses, yet they get shafted in a real conflict like Antidas and his "prophecies".

So I visited the charming village of Inferiae and had some interesting times with the locals. I noticed that escaping at all got me a nice chunk of xp, which was great. After looking at different options, I find that nuking the village and killing everyone in it except the cows who are immune to radiation gets another nice chunk of xp, while not being a mass murderer gets me ... apparently nothing.

So my question is: is there any reason not to nuke these people (besides "to be nice")? Will there be some kind of callback down the road? Or will I never hear from them again either way?

It is pretty funny when you put it that way.

The residents of Inferiae have nothing to offer you but their deaths.

 

[an Administrator]

Well, doing a Thief playthrough. Combat isn't as hard as you guys were telling here

if you are fighting then you are missing the fun

I already played a merchant character.
Totally avoiding combat for the first time in an RPG felt good.

[makiavelli747]

key is 3 points in throwing to offset low strength for climbing

There is another way actually, that thing you can find(or buy from merchant) in graveyard.

[makiavelli747]

The thing is you need str+dex, if you have dex 10 then str 4 +hook is enough

It's sad that it's not possible to use skills outside the combat and skillchecks. It would be cool if we were able to steal from guards or traders, you know, like in RPGs.

 

[Atchodas]

You can steal from traders .
This is AoD you dont steal from guards , that would get you killed if not by guards then by the guild .

 

[an Administrator]

that would get you killed if not by guards then by the guild

What if i'm with guild?
Or it would be better if it had consequence like guild enforcers going after you for stealing something.


I'm starting to think that even combat is some kind of a skillcheck in this game

 

[hivemind]

There is literally like a million places where you can steal in shops and inns in current AoD version.

 

[Old One]

There are indeed many, many places where you can use steal, sneak, and lockpick.
