So last time I started a run I said it was going to be the last one. A standard teenage love story where the childhood best friends end up together after the girl gets hurt by a bad guy, but I didn't like the ending that resulted in for either party.
I thought maybe if I made peace with the planet, the outcome will improve dramatically. So my goals for the run are negotiate true peace, date anemone, and become governor.
So breaking this down to its requirements as I see:
80 toughness for free friendship with anemone
Max persuasion for becoming governor, helping anemone, and the final negotiations
Max(?) Animals for final negotiations
Max(?) Reasoning for final negotiations
I don't know if peace ending changes the final scene, but also max in bravery, biology, or combat to avoid the ded
35 biology for xenobotany
Keeping hal alive for the data stick
Keeping eudicot alive for a free council vote
Max friendship with anemone
Max friendship with marz
Max friendship with sym
Max friendship with dys
Man that's a lot, and given that maxing sym and dys requires going on expeditions I'll also be resting a lot until max bravery and even beyond. It sounds like a lot when I write it down, but it's it manageable? I know peace and governor are possible since they require one another. Exploring a lot will get me plenty of gifts, in my experience, so hopefully I'll be able to get everyone a loved present once a season. Exploring will also help max toughness, bravery, and animals, and progressing dys and sym relationships. Augmenting bravery with sports all and guard duty will progress anemone's friendship. Working at the government building will get me both persuasion and marz friendship.
I'm thinking the best start will be the +persuasion gear, and friendship with anemone, as it will instantly give me access to sneaking out and delivering supplies, advance me in the friendship that's most likely to lag behind, and give me a +friendship response to the soysweets event with marz.
My big concern is reasoning as it seems the schedule is already going to be right, I don't know if I'll have time to sort out reasoning on top of everything else.
So what do you guys think? Possible, or a pipe dream?
…except Our Life lmao, brought up on that subreddit frequently. I think the canon or default protagonist is non-binary. You can absolutely play as a girl (because this mostly takes place at 18 and below) who’s female-presenting though.
