A fellow anomaly enjoyer then?
Funeral of the Dead Butterflies is a fairly mechanically standard abnormality - it breaches if you do a bad job working with it (or if your justice is too low or fortitude is too high but those aren’t stats here so it’s just kind of a side note). The most notable thing about it is that it does sanity damage instead of physical damage, but instead of making you panic when you’re out of SP you die.
Der Freischutz is a potentially helpful abnormality, as you can request it to shoot things down if there’s a breach - the downsides being that it doesn’t care about collateral and its seventh shot will always be shot arbitrarily (in limbus firing seven bullets with its ego instantly kills the sinner doing it btw.)
Ardor Blossom Moth is a Limbus-exclusive abno which makes it a decent amount harder to guess at its mechanics here - the short version is that it sets everything on fire and then blows it all up, including itself
I am just going to link the wiki page for the silent orchestra because I do not understand it myself
The what? (I’m not even going to try searching for this one. I’ll rely on what I have at my disposal and nothing else.)
source material for the sinner hong lu, the latest sinner to have a canto about them. chinese literature that i have not read but apparently its long
I feel like I’m going to ask the wrong question for the wrong context, but: Aren’t Abnormalities supposed to disrupt Town? (In particular, whenever they breach.)
anyway i voted for the butterflies because all of the lower-difficulty abnos (except the road home) are generally “don’t touch it and you’ll be fine”, plus i wanna get a feel for the mechanics of the abnos with a more standard one
its moreso that it’s helpful while not breaching and harmful when breaching
there’s a few abnos that applies to
so if you do too well or too bad, the counter for breaching lowers, you only want to do normally. it is worrying that the first piece of suppression advice for it is that it will return on its own so just run away from it
Some abnormalities have the potential to be useful, and Der Frei is one of them. They can be hired to fire a bullet that does massive damage to everything it hits. Though of course, it can also choose to do so on it’s own volition and kill most of your employees.
I… am going to abstain from voting. I am content with letting these unknown mechanics be. I fear that, the increase in observation levels require visits, and the more we visit them, the more influence they have over the game.
you gotta Face The Fear, Build The Future
I don’t think PD is an immediate concern anyway, since it’s gimmick is that it needs to build up a large following before it can be a danger, but not knowing anything about any of them will only cause more problems. What we don’t know can and will hurt us.
i just hope none of them turn out to be cognitohazards
i think there will be some but i don’t think any of the current ones will be
maaaaybe ABM? but honestly i kinda can’t imagine it’s anything too threatening
There are congohazards? As in if their effects are revealed it’s harmful, or if a player learns it’s effect it’s harmful
I will take the risk and stay as a fool. I won’t try to convince anyone but myself to not vote for the raise in observation levels.
you know if you think it’s super duper weak it might be worth jumping in We Can Change Anything and seeing if it does anything cool
sure
let me see if this embeds properly
Zone sounds and looks very similar to last game, but I have a hard time deciphering whether that is actually alignment indicative for Zone. I think their alignment will become more obvious later on if they are hitting similar notes to last game.
