Saving Game

Game saves automatically

  • on load screens
  • when you choose quit from the start menu

Inventory

TODO:

  • record encumbrance formula
  • understand equip weight
  • Displayed weight is for the entire stack (not per item)
  • Equipped items are 1/2 weight (but 1/2 weight for pocket? bag?)
  • Speed is slowed based on encumbrance - no stat can salvage

Stamina

  • heavy use of stamina 'burns' your stamina, making it unusable. you can recover with sleep, or some teas.

Current Date

Several quests are time sensitive.
You can check the current date on the map (-->).

Record the time upon accepting a quest.
In the definitive edition, quests record the time they were accepted.

Key Time-Sensitive Quests

  • All warlords must be killed/satisfied before 20 days after joining any faction (otherwise Cierzo burns)
