CLAIRE'S QUEST - UPDATE 0.28.3c

We've got quite a few overhauls to existing game mechanics in store for you- in addition to new content such as sex scenes, new explorable areas, and more! Check it out, we're really excited to show you what we've been working on!

0.28.3

• New quest, “Of Good & Evil” (part of the Main Questline), can now be completed. Note that once this is completed, Claire’s fame level (which previously was always zero), will be raised to ‘noteworthy’. Fame level can be checked in the Gallery for the time being.

• A new scene, the Andumas x Arianthine undying scene, has been added as part of the “Of Good & Evil” quest! Automatically available in the Gallery once you complete the quest!

• A new scene for Claire’s Breeding Ranch involving Beth, whose Anal Penetration scene is now available! Automatically added to the Gallery with the rest of her scenes once triggered!

• A much-requested new feature has been added to the save/load system – you can now ‘set’ a quest to follow in the quest journal, and when you save your game it will then reflect on the save file. If you do not set any quest, then it will simply show nothing in the save file

• A major overhaul has been made to the skill tree system. All attribute-based skills are now available in the game (and many have been tweaked or strengthened), and instead of the requirements for each successive attribute-based skill being 5-10-15-20, they’ve now been raised to 5-10-20-40; the idea is that Claire, in each playthrough, should only really be able to reach the final skill in one or two attributes, rather than unlock them all. Additionally, the ‘special’ skills have been shifted to a separate section because they kept confusing people who thought they unlocked with attributes. The different attribute skills now confer more unique benefits to different playstyles, allowing Claire to survive and flourish no matter what kind of attribute-driven playstyle you choose. For example, high Intrigue Claire has access to pickpocketing alongside increased success rate to lockpicking, while high Seduction Claire basically saves money across the board and gets massive discounts even on expensive things like property. There’s quite a lot to explore with all of these new skills, so be sure to check out their benefits!

• Reading certain books for the first time now gives permanent buffs to Claire. Some books also confer specific knowledge that affects in-game lore revelations; for example, reading 'The Old Empire' will cause Claire to be able to understand random bits of Imperial Script (Latin) scattered around the game.

• As per popular request (especially for players who enjoy roleplaying or want more immersion) a new game mechanic has been added: sleeping rough and/or camping. As part of this new mechanic, the way the Camping Kit item is used has also been changed. Now, instead of being limited to inns, there are specific locations in the game (ie. with the Gypsies/Aldweya in the Badlands) where Claire can pitch a tent if she has the Camping Kit item and sleep outdoors, while also getting access to activities like foraging for food and supplies. There are also areas where Claire can find homeless shelters and sleep rough (ie. Valos Slums), and in these areas she has access to scavenging. There’s a lot of potential for new lewd scenes for these mechanics, so we’re planning for those too!

• The item weights have all been changed because anything with decimals (as opposed to whole numbers) was making it go wonky. All items
