Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I have been playing Defender's Quest and Long Live the Queen, both of which are awesome, and a little bit of Yume Nikki when I just feel like stabbing things.

I also have a folder full of old Infocom games that I wanna tackle soon.

I saw screencaps of LLiQ on your tumblr. It looks fun! I love dating sim games with a good and interesting plot.

It is ridiculously addictive, although now that I've gotten a few different good endings I'm giving it a rest. I have to go achievement hunting and finish getting all the deaths and explore different paths a bit.

Dating isn't a huge element to it, but you do have your choice of suitors.

Aww, I got Long Live the Queen a few days ago, by now I am on my 10+ death, no playthrough yet.

Any tips?

SAVE OFTEN, make sure you have Tests turned on (so that it says "Test: Composure - Failed", that way you know what you need to work on), save your logs after you get an ending so that you can retrace your steps. Pay attention to her moods and look at the skill page so you don't accidentally study something that's in the negative.

I don't know what paths you've tried and how far you've gotten, but you don't have to be nice to the Duchess of Ursul and you don't have to become a Lumen.

Slight spoiler - being depressed (like she is in the beginning) helps you study dogs and voice/instrument. Dogs and voice/instrument are good things to study. Intrigue is also good.

You probably already know this, but when you play all three classes in a category to 25 points, you get an outfit that helps you earn more points. If you reach 50 points in one, you can't raise it any further until you have the new outfit.

When all else fails, the wiki tells you how high your skills need to be to pass certain events. I like figuring out things myself, but towards the end of the 40 days there is one event that is a huge pain, and I finally caved and looked it up, skimming to avoid spoilers.

Do you mean 10 different deaths? I only have five or six, which ones do you have?

Edited 2013-11-18 01:21 (UTC)

Yeah, I tried going different routes with her, and I once got her until the war at the end, even as a lumen, but without a circle... and then I got killed at sea a few weeks/days? before her coronation.

Mostly I find making her a Lumen fast enough to be of use and exploiting it in the beginning too draining/tiring.

As of now I've tried a bunch of different approaches, history savvy, military savvy, athletic + weapon traing, I even used that animal aptitude in my first playthrough but I never quite seem to get far when using the faith skills and I can seldom keep her in the mood for intrigue or the people skills (basically either presence, or court manners etc), so maybe that's my downfall.

Have you ever got her through alive as a lumen?

As for deaths, I didn't get 10 different ones, just more than ten in a row without success. But well for a list I've got: Drowned at sea (that one almost successful playthrough), way too many gut shots on my way to the friends party in a variety of states, and also died in a sword duel and being brought down by an assasin... not too impressive yet.

I've never made it to coronation as a lumen, but I have become a prisoner of war/forced to marry the Duchess of Lillah's son. I haven't done the lumen thing very much.

The thing is that you have to have a balance, not just one strength.

Oh! You know that if the skill page says "0" you can still study it, right? When I first started I thought it meant you wouldn't gain any points, but it's just that you won't get a bonus.

I've also found that you don't really have to study Intrigue until after you confront the lady who flirts with your dad (although if you do, it unlocks the option to have your spies focus on certain things, and I always choose 'noble plots'. Apparently you can make the commoners upset but that hasn't been a problem with me so far, and I haven't noticed any difference between raising or lowering taxes), but you should get it pretty high before the court musician shows up, and voice/instrument should be maxed out by then too, although this depends entirely on what path you're trying to do. This is what I did when I made it to coronation, which I did without magic.

I have died about 50 times, and it's usually the damn chocolates.

I guess there's a pretty interesting storyline to the Lumen thing, but maybe I'll try getting there after making it through the first time.

I usually try to do the whole balancing stuff, but maybe it's just that I try to hit every check and it just pewters out because of that (and yeah logically I know this isn't the way to win but that whole completionist compulsion gets me every time).
Usually it all works out fine the first few weeks and then I just fail the higher checks. Like that whole festival thing, did you ever get socially competent enough to make it through that without hitting at least one major fail (as in failing a couple of checks in a row)

I haven't yet focused on the music skill at all, so maybe I'll try that next, thanks for that suggestion.

Funnily enough if I get that far I have so far always passed the chocolate test, always feel guilty about that servant though.

Have you yet found out what the matter is with the boy from the garden? I've encountered him twice yet, but I never seem to choose a path that gives me more clues on that storybranch.

Ugh I hate that because you cannot get every check. I tried just focusing on Royal Demeanor and Conversation once, was able to lead the parade and make a speech, and then I died but I forget how, drowning maybe.

I suggest doing music ONLY if you're not doing magic too. And it's useless without high Foreign Intelligence, too.

:O I haven't seen the boy from the garden! Do you mean the one that runs away? I never have the climbing skills to go after him. Although there is an achievement for marrying a commoner...

(Btw if you like f/f ships you should dance with someone scandalous at the ball)

I've managed to make it to the party but never got any follow-up with Briony's storyline because my History and Lore weren't high enough.

Here's the wiki, btw.

ETA - also, don't even bother with Naval Strategy if you're going to stay in the capital when the warships show up. It'll help you win if you direct the fleet, but for the path that lead to my coronation (and many tragic deaths), not knowing it didn't make any difference.
