Continuing from last time... One of your team-mates is exhausted after a long trip. Earth to Valery: we literally just camped out! You decide to urge your crewmate to keep going, but this choice comes with a personal check. Heres where your personality comes into play.
This is definitely a task for Big Buddy. Being a big charming goofball, he gives his big speech and lifts everyones spirits. Nice choice! Finally, you arrive at your destination: the mysterious village hungry for blood, perhaps in more ways than one. Seems like beasts and men here mingle together, and everyone is everyone elses kin.
Wishing to avoid any sanitary or virological catastrophe that would surely ensue if you stayed in this place for more than 10 minutes, you receive your reward and quickly press on. And I mean, really quickly. And immediately arrive at a more disturbing sight: a village that practices cock fighting. Or whatever grotesque substitute the Wasteland provides.
Sometimes, there are more choices than fight and give money You decide to bet your pet companion, but an internal debate rears its ugly head: it seems like not everybody here is a fan of animal cruelty and the opinions within the group split (they can do that?). The personalities clash, and no mutant fight ensues. And who could blame them? No pet lizard is getting any harm coming its way on our watch. Unless it belongs to the enemy, obviously.
Afterwards, you stop at a shelter, which is just like a campfire but doesn't require spending any rations. where your crew rests by playing dice. Unfortunately, this is a zero sum game: some must win and some must lose, which means you inevitably gain some morale and lose some as well. Let this be a lesson: even gambling among friends and comrades can be bad for you.
Rest in peace, Chomp As you make your way onto a new battlefield, Valery unfortunately loses her pet to the skirmish, and with that, her defining personality trait. That sounds sad on so many levels. Alas, unlike us, beasts were just not made to be permanent party members Finally, you arrive at the big boss fight. This is what your whole campaign led up to. Time to show those brutes the power of teamwork and a complete disregard for your own safety! You initiate combat...
And promptly lose, perhaps joining Chomp in wherever he ended up. What a downer ending, isnt it? However, this is but a single day in the world of Outcast Tales, only one journey of many.
