I think you need to reload and experience a few of the major decisions the other way to get all lore entries to get 100%.
Like:
Rip and don't rip off the guys arm in the bar in ep. 1.
People using any sort of context as an excuse send the thread off the rails is exactly the point of contention that has developed over the past few weeks. I don't doubt that the problem is more pronounced now than in the past owing to the recent influx of new active contributors, but this just means all the more effort must be made to exercise some restraint -- when someone posts a picture of food or an alpaca or whatever, 20 others need not do the same just because someone else started it.
As I've said before, there's nothing wrong with a bit of off-topic banter here and there, but when it reaches the point where people are bemoaning what is currently the dominant talking point of the thread then there's clearly a problem.
o m g
But why? Gotta watch that YouTube explaination video
Probably, yes. Maybe I'll do this the other day, I liked the entries.
not quite
still pretty troll lol
Regarding her identity:The Nerrisa you saw was actually glamoured Faith, and Faith's head was Nerrisa's.
Hideous? Only if you make it so
portraits?
they're ugly as fuck
i dunno why they can't use regular model renders, those look much better and would actually have accurate hair/beard colors/tattoos

Ah, good old OT.
Haha yeah, those were the good ol' days.
As intriguing as that is, I don't even have the game installed.

"You are not as bad as everyone says you are."
Nerissa was probably covering for Faith while she was out collecting debt. And got killed with her glamour applied.
I recognized that too but thought it would just be a stilistic device to finish off the game with the words it sorta begun lol

During Bigby's flashback, Snow said Dr. Swineheart still needed to run some tests on the head, implying that he wasn't 100% sure that it belonged to Faith.
This. I thought it was just that. Is it confirmed for sure?

Lily's glamour didn't wear off, Bigby broke the spell by opening the capsule, and Nerissa's body was never found (so no chance of it being broken ). Plus it all happened in a few days, maybe the spell can hold up much longer.
Yeah this, why hasn't the glamour worn off? I assume the doc we're talking about is the same one that helped Bigby so he didn't get lost or something lol
Ah, makes sense, yeah.
It's incredibly annoying when a game has two editions but there's only a multi-pack for the standard. It's as though you're being punished for having the audacity to want to hand over more money.
Bah.

Not necessarily
You'll need to open the box that had a part of the person you want to be disguised or glamored as. Once you open that box your real form is revealed
remember how Wolf keep reminding Mr.Frog to get new glamour? That mean Glamour wear off after a period of time. That should mean glamour can be broken via after expiration date or broken early with the vial.
Even if they never found "Faith" body. The moment the expiration date come, her head should turn back into "Nerissa".
I highly doubt if Faith was the mastermind behind the whole thing, she would be so careless to keep the head in the posession of Snow White, risking the spell run out early. (Though they probably threw the head down the well to buried it quickly.)

I was cringing just going back a few pages.
I know we have already lost some excellent members due to the dip in post quality. I agree, some off topic banter is acceptable, but this month it has reached a critical mass. Generally the sale thread tanks in terms of quality, then it gets back to normal during regular threads. Never left that sale culture behind.

Steam GAF! i have just discovered Enhanced Steam. I'm sure i'm the last to the party on this but i have a question. It's almost certainly stupid so i'll hang my head in shame in advance.
Using Enhanced steam i can see that there are much cheaper alternatives to buying in the UK. It shows me all the prices. Ok so the question *hangs head* do i need to use VPN software to fool steam in to thinking im in that country or is there a way to do it through enhanced steam?

Don't even think about it. You'll get banned.
If you want a game from another region you'll need to have someone gift it to you. Beware of region-locks, though; if you're curious about the region status of something in particular, just ask and someone will check for you.
Not banned; restricted.

O RLY? I wondered about that. I'm glad i asked now. Thanks for the answer
I'll go back to crying over how much shit costs in the UK #firstworldproblems
Games that aren't region/gifting locked, you can get through a friend that lives in the region.
Using VPN for buying is never a good idea, unless you want your account permanently restricted.

The official version is probably subscription based, users had to go back and get casted with glamour spell every time the last one is about to expire.
Faith was not the mastermind of anything, she put her murdered friend's head out there to raise awareness. And it wouldn't matter if Nerissa's glamour wore off, the crooked man was already dealt with.
Never use a vpn to buy or activate games on steam. You can use a vpn to play a game early on the release date. For example, if the game releases in another region early.

My bad, as JaseC pointed out. You'll get restricted.
Probably best not to do it. If you want cheap games. Talk to the Russian and buy a ROW copy from them. (If its possible, some games are region-locked. Ie. Wolfenstein.)
I thought wolfenstein was only region locked in Germany due to some symbolism.
idk if Faith as you said did this. She probably got some evil motive. I honestly think, if it is like you said, she probably killed Nerissa, to set off the chain of motion to dethrone CM, so she can finally be free and leave town. Guess we'll wait for season two. I hope its not true though cause I like Nerissa to be alive..

It ain't worth jeopardising your entire account and game library to save a few squid.
Just say NO to VPNs.
Unless you're using it to get around region restrictions for Netflix or the WWE Network. Then all bets are off.

I'll add a qualifier in that key activations are (in practice) fine. Valve only gets cross if you attempt to skirt region-specific pricing on the Steam Store itself since, in theory, you're eating into Valve's own cut of the sale.
Cross-region trading/gifting is disabled on the ROW sub.
Having played a fair amount of Minecraft, playing Block World from the recent Indie Gala bundle is...a bizarre experience (I've never really gotten into any of the clones before). The developers have opted for a cubic world almost identical to that of Minecraft, but the animal and enemy models are much more "realistic" (ie. not cubic), which is incredibly jarring and off-putting for me. Especially when half the time they're just...floating above the cubes!

Lily, Faith and Nerissa planned to run off, and their plan was disrupted by murders. Faith had two choices, live her miserable life as Nerissa, or take a leap of faith(hehe).

When I read about
Nerrisa being Faith, I thought of you and how you liked Nerrisa. I personally think that Faith is dead and that Nerrisa learned about Bigby from her
I seriously hope you're wrong
if Nerissa is truly dead, I think I'm going to cry. Will you come mourn with me then Tizoc?

The thread now looks like this:
Awesome game by the way, I highly recommend it.
Awesome game by the way, I highly recommend it.
While this may be true, we've lost some other excellent members due to constant Modbot giveaways/posts about giveaways/posts complaining about not winning said giveaways (Toma said so in his Indie thread). And before Modbot's conception, there were countless Paint contests going on. Or people talking about Mate/whatever.
Even without all the anime/alpaca/waifu gifs (which are really unnecessary), we always had a very low SNR here.
Unless you split the Steam thread into various ones (game impressions/reviews, giveaway thread, community thread of Alpaca Waifus) I don't really see the situation changing anytime soon.

I think the Wolf Among Us twist in question may actually be the opposite of what you guys are describing...
I think that Narissa is Narissa and that Bigby never actually met Faith. I believe that Faith was already dead when we supposedly met her, and that Narissa glamoured herself to look like Faith and started a fight with the Woodsma in order to meet the Sheriff and get him to like her. That way, when she put Faith's head on the stoop, the Sheriff would have a personal motivation to give it his all and actually take the Crooked Man down.

absolutely if you enjoy old school RPGs
I....can't disagree with this. Steam thread has reached the darkest timeline
That's... odd and a little surreal. Can't say I'm necessarily fond of the stylistic mashup there. How's the game itself, though?
Gah! What did you do to your avatar? It's hard for me to see you as Sly McEvilface after having gotten used to your other one.
