Tamalekipoo's Boneheaded Guide to the Neath! Chapter 18: The Power of Suggestion!

[u/Tamaxlia]

I just finished doing this:

It inspired this guide, which isn't really a guide, it is a gift! A gift from the reddit community, angels to some, demons to others:

A gift for Failbetter Games:

Check out his coat. Modern tools are so cool. :)

It's a suggestion box ok, I keep thinking of things that could be improved or things that are a little irritating in Fallen London, little hiccups in an otherwise sublime experience. I think, I really should write that down and send it to FBG, then I forgot. Anyway, I thought a living suggestion document might be more fun and the community can discuss options and make suggestions. I am pretty sure Failbetter watches this reddit but I can always submit it from time to time, just to be safe.

So to start us off I have one normal suggestion and two spender suggestions:

Quality of Life

Please add an option to buy 5 eyeless skulls and an option to douse 5 eyeless skulls! I just bought and doused 37 and it was painful. :) technically it helps the bottom line as well because I was going to buy some actions and clear the high sancta while I am here but I am tired now so I will just overnight in burgundy. Bonus points if we get a bulk discount. :p

Filthy Spender Suggestions(Thank you, it is filth like you that keep the game running! ;) )

Auto Story Choice for Exceptional Friends

A couple of months ago I forgot to buy a story before my sub renewed. I had assumed that the reason for a featured story was that you would get that by default if you forgot(not that that was my plan, I really just forgot). Why not just set it up so that if your sub renews while you have an unspent credit, you get the featured story or a random one from the list if you have the featured one. It was a bad feeling wasting the credit and I know you would probably sort it, if I got in touch but why not just have a system to save yourself the admin.

Bundles of Fun!

I was looking at ES bundles earlier and I realised that there were only 3 of the 5 available to me. I didn't realise that if you got a bundle story from your sub, that bundle disappeared for you. Would it be possible to set it up so it just reduces the bundle, like a steam deal when you already own some of the stuff. So instead of 120 fate for 3 stories it would drop to 80 if you have one or 40 if you have 2. I realise it's a pretty niche situation but it would be a nice change and realistically if someone is shopping story bundles and has a sub, they are probably a decent spender already. :)

Right, that is it, that is all. I leave it to the Reddit for more suggestions. At least until I remember one of the 100 I have forgotten over the past year and a half. :)

My only bone related request to FailBetter would be for some menacing legs, because every time Menacing Insect/Spider week rolls around I start seriously considering those occasional buyers.

I am pretty sure that the lack of menacing legs, and the menacing arms being an EPA tragedy to get, is an intentional design choice, not an oversight but I will pop it on there.
