This game is huge and there is a ton of stuff to do so i'm surprised there is only one category. No 100%? No meme category like "fastest house" or something? Seems like exactly what the game is designed for, so i would love it if we could put in some new runs to try.
Also I'm not sure how the different endings work, e.g. you're the murderer, your brother is the murderer, etc. If there's things during the playthrough that influence which ending you get, there could be different categories for some/all of the possible endings. If people have figured out how to get each ending!
I propose the following Categories:
-
Any % all characters (Hero, Bro, Sis, Indian)
-
100% (Ghost Miner, Couple 1, Couple 2, Sheriff Glory, Miss Tress, House, Banker, Rancher Bob, Indian v. Fort, Weird West, Golden Buffalo, Beef Gang, Train, Sister, Ostridge Banditos, Murderer Killed) It seems possible to do all these. I'll start routing if there is interest.
-
Horde% (Kill the Director after Horde Mode.)
-
Meme% - Get the Girl%. Get Miss Tress to hook up with you. Since everyone in the west is after her affections, a world wide leaderboard to do the same feels appropriate.
Any% all characters seems fun, I can definitely add it as soon as possible.
with 100% I feel like there would be some defining what exactly counts as 100%, but if there's a clear definition it could be added.
Horde%, might be, I'll look into it.
Waifu% would need a clear finish point, but can be managed too.
Huh, I meant a separate category for each character, but you are right, that does sound fun.
For 100% I had a working definition above, it assumes quest complete with all quests. I think this is possible, but I will check to be sure.
Waifu% would be getting Tress and the House I think.
it would be nice to have a categories for fastest ending of the game or to a specific ending like killing the extras or helping the ranchers
I'm sorry I wasn't very active in here recently but yeah that can be managed, I'd need to sit down and figure out which categories it'd entail. I'm definitely gonna add Horde%, if You have an idea for one write it down in detail and we'll see.
Indivisualist% will be interesting... It's with the achievement in Steam, by killing all major characters.
This sounds fun, i was considering spending some time to route an individualist% run to try and get that category but house% sounds fun too
I don't want to add a new category without any runs to show for it, so if someone DMs me a run in House% I can add that as a category, how does that sound?
Sure, I just sent you one. Not sure where the end point for house% is though, is it when you enter the house, or when you pay 3000 dollars?
Either ways, my route feels a bit boring. I have thought of 2 routes, first is hook up with Ms Tress and get 1500 dollars from her for the house (if I remember correctly), and embezzle 1500 dollars from the military to get 3000 dollars.
The second one, which I have done, is to do the military buffalo quest and do the infinite money glitch, which tbh is a bit boring.
Either ways, the run has a huge RNG portion to it, which is whether you can find a town NPC that has the dialogue that can give you a fast travel to santa anna. Though the bank quest can give you this as well, it will save you a couple of seconds by talking to the townsfolk npc. Not sure which is strategically better though, clintville NPC or train station NPC.
An update on my House% pathing, I found a more efficient plan. I doubt there is going to be any more significant changes to this run. Almost no reliance on RNG.
