Hints for non-lewd scenes from update 1.6

Watch out for spoilers! I recommend you play to the update's end first and then come back here to see if you missed anything.

Well, foremost, this is the first update in the game, where builds with heavy investment in Vigor will be like: "Ugh! Ugh! Yeah, Muscle Time! Ugh! Ugh! Yeah! Muscles!"

Even though most of the Vigor checks won't yield the desired results, you'll still gain a bunch of experience. But at the most important moment, a couple of Vigor checks will save someone's life. So, if your Selene isn't the toughest girl around, maybe she's at least saved up some Insight points? Agility, by the way, also comes in handy in a few places, but it won't help at the key moment. Only physical toughness is needed there, no other options.

The door.

Can't open it? Have you tried knocking? No, I don't mean knocking politely. With something heavy. And at the weakest point. If anything, "something heavy" can be found in the west, after you've tried the most... strongest influences and they don't work.

There are no alternative routes. They were in the plans, but the plans didn't include 3 complex, interconnected lewd scenes. And after adding them, I had to cut off all the "extra" penetration paths and finish the update a little early. Yeah, they say beauty requires sacrifice. Seems like the sex scenes work on the same basis.

You can also just hang around and do nothing. Sooner or later, something will happen. Who needs those doors, right?

Meralion is dead?

Okay. What? People die. Or are you wondering if he could have been saved? He could have been. Is he important to the story? Well, it can be done without him. But, of course, you won't meet the dead later in the game. After all, Meralion isn't John Snow, and he won't be resurrected by the Red Witch in season 6. In the Inner Empire, the dead stay dead. Forever.

And it's reasonable to expect his death to have a big impact on the next update.

Selene is dead?

Oopsie. Try rolling back or loading a save. I'm even curious about which of the two possible deaths in this update you managed to die... By the way, before this, the only possible death was in Chapter 1 and only for Vagrant Origin. There was a Pulp Fiction-style moment, only... Only it didn't end like in Pulp Fiction. That's because the wooden stick wasn't a katana, yeah.

P.S. Have you started the Great Squirrel War? Oh, it will be long, hard and bloody! Squirrels, ugh, those nasty tree rats!
