Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[Shadefyre]

Also Vostyok, I don't know if this is fixed by the current patch (since I'm recording my playthrough on 1.02) but regarding the Baron v Garavito choice

---

I talked to Garavito about his plan without accepting it, and then when I went to do the same with the Baron I got to the point of his dialogue where it says either Wait or Leave. I picked leave, went back to the Junkyard to try and figure out how to get Hauer to let me challenge him, and when I got there everyone was hostile and the bomb locations were already blown up and burning despite me not even receiving the bombs. So I'm not exactly sure what caused the worldstate to advance that much, and whether this counts as destroying the Roamers before the mutants have moved on (since I went in and shot everyone to retrieve my bike).

@Shadefyre

Yeah, this is an unfortunate bug in v1.02. It's been fixed, but it is caused by getting to a certain point in the conversation, backing out, and visiting the junkyard. It doesn't count as destroying the roamers, but you can skip this section by giving QuestKey and leaving the area.

Vostyok is there anything else I need to keep an eye on while playing the game or whatever aside from what I have been doing? I want to help out as much as I can you see even if it ain't much.

[Vostyok]

No, just enjoy yourself. If you do catch something that doesn't feel or look right, let me know though.

[AmissaAnima]

Gotcha i assume you have taken note of some of the things i've noticed and pointed out in my spoiler comments?

Aight something wierd happened while i was playing a bit of Ashes Afterglow before bed. So i got the Titan stim that the Dealer wanted for Mojo and i gave it to him. Guess what happens next? Mojo kills one dog then starts repeatetly attacking himself while the dogs are attack him and he just didn't die. I had to noclip into the fight and Kill the dogs with my Crowbar. After i did that the Mutant died just like he was supposed too.

Vos, can you help me with my questions, too? I have rephrased them for easier answering.

1. After planting all four bombs in the junkyard, I still have one left. Is that fifth bomb supposed to be planted on that "old but sturdy" wall in the Pipeworks?

2. Would selling two spore samples to Kyle after having made friends with the Baron and bombed the Roamers trigger a different ending than just selling all spores to the Doc at once and then immediately telling on Kyle, getting him behind bars?

[Vostyok]

@AmissaAnima- yep, taken note. I'll see if I can fix some of these are make them a little clearer, as relevant. Some of it is intentional. For instance, for those wondering about the ending (I recall EddieNahui also asking about this - the two keys thing at the end is for plot reasons - how things happen is how things happen, allowing too much leeway would make episode 3 very difficult to follow on to. Just rest assured that if you survived, you've got the best ending possible.

1.yes it is, but in retrospect it is probably not a good idea to use it with the current route you have chosen.
2.if you have completed the Baron quest already, this shouldn't really be an option - Kyle *should* be telling you to go away. But helping Kyle will affect your ending very much so.

[Ihavequestions]

Okay, thanks. I will keep that in mind for a third playthrough of the post-Biodome part.

Last part is in the tunnels underneath Prosperity. It's a big place, make sure you check both halves.

Thanks, that pipeworks were pretty big indeed. Aweasome total conversion

After defeating the mutant pshychic in Missile Gap, she disappears, the screen gets completely red, and the Scav kills himself.

Nothing I tried helps (not even cheats). Have I stumbled on a bad end? Or is there something I'm not getting?

which version are you playing? She shouldn't disappear. She should get up, say a few words, but you can kill her and the red screen effect should go away.

Personal opinions.

I find it incredibly silly that the Scav doesn't think of using his Crowbar to reach the other button on the Keyboard in order to abort the launch at the final area of the game.

To answer this specifically; they're keys, not buttons, and so couldn't be practically turned using the crowbar.

[Vostyok]

Official Promise:
If someone can demonstrate using video footage of themselves or another turning two keys at once, both two meters apart, using a crowbar to turn one of them, I will 100% add crowbar-picking minigame to next episode.

Do you think I'm joking?

[AmissaAnima]

I don't think that you are joking Vostyok it more feels like that you're trolling us.

So this new update coming will probably break saves with all the new stuff, right? So I should probably hold off on continuing until after the update right?
