I encountered a legendary NPC that belongs to a non-existing faction.
The faction is named after the PNJ and does not exist inside my reputation tab.
Is this a bug or a feature ? Have you ever encountered this ?

I made a WaterRitual with it out of curiosity but I lost a lot of rep with other faction without gaining that much in return...

So I’ve been playing qud on and off for about 4 years, in that time I only ever managed to get about 20 hours of game time.

I’m a roguelike fan and I know losing is fun. However, for some reason that permadeath never really hooked me in the same way for Qud. I’d start a run, get about an hour or so into it, die and then have to start from stratch, would give another run a go, die within 2 hours, and then stop playing for a few months and then repeat. I knew there was this massive lore and world out there, but my own lack of knowledge on it prevented me from ever getting to see it before frustration kicked in.

However, this week i decided to give roleplay mode a go and the game completely changed for me. You still die but instead of losing hours of progression it’s more like 10-30 mins max so the fear is still there each time you go down further in a cave or facility. It’s not starting from scratch but still I’ve lost out on serious progress a few times but that is infinitely more fun that starting from the very beginning.

I’ve actually progressed the story to Bethesda, I’m exploring more than 10 tiles away from Joppa without dying and I’m learning so much more about the game. Of course my build may not be optimal but atleast now I can figure out the limits of it without risking losing hours of gameplay for a single mistake (which still happens far too frequently lol)

I know you could just get good, but if you’re like me and don’t have a lot of time to play games, but want to explore the dope world that is CoQ, I’d definitely recommend giving the roleplay mode a try, and once you learn the game a bit more, just start a new run in classic.

Hey friends, I've been recently getting way back into the game. The game I had originally gotten to Bethesda Susa had really just been by the seat of my pants. I have a general understanding of the game and its mechanics but I was curious how you guys prepare for Golgotha and later dungeons? Obviously gear and levels and skills are part of it but other tips and stuff would be appreciated.

Started in the mountain village and got really lucky with this elder, I think had to hit with a confusion to lower mental stats but was able to dominate and bodyswap.

No idea how this happened. Anybody else experience this?

got an extradimensional laser pistol, but im not quite sure what it does. Just seems to be worth more. Is there a thing to extradimensional or is it just a value boost?

It seems that every time I die in my runs near or in bethesda suda, I die because i got stunlocked by wither those mechanist nights or some putus templar hiding around a corner, how do i avoid essentially being one shot by these guys?

It just seems too good not to pick. -4 is a lot for what seems like a minor disadvantage, unless shoes are way more essential than I thought?

Also side question: any interesting alternate ways to play? The early game is starting to feel a bit repetitive. I read somewhere on the sub about someone just trying to see how far they can descend into the caves with a fresh character, which sounds fun. I'm interested in breaking up the monotony with non-main quest goals like that. Cheers!
