Floyd | Weishaupt Scholars has an episodic structure, in which the outcome of
Floyd | prior episodes influences the events in later ones. It is impossible to
Floyd | actually lose the game until the last chapter -- failures become part
Floyd | of the ongoing narrative, and will influence the nature of the final
Floyd | episode. A warning will appear once the game begins to play for keeps.
Floyd |
Floyd | As a general rule, if you want to replay episodes in order to get the
Floyd | "best playthrough", save at chapter breaks.
Floyd |
Floyd | Finally, Weishaupt Scholars uses a hybrid ask/tell/menu system. When
Floyd | presented with a prompt, you may interact with NPCs in the traditional
Floyd | ASK/TELL manner. However, if an NPC replies (or initiates conversation)
Floyd | in a manner that demands a response, you will be provided a menu of
Floyd | options that will let you characterize your reply.
Floyd |
Floyd | If you're in a conversational situation and want to basically make
Floyd | small talk, try asking the character about him- or herself, with a
Floyd | command like ASK ALICE ABOUT HERSELF or ASK BOB ABOUT BOB. If you run
Floyd | out of ideas of what to talk about, try WAITing. Other characters may
Floyd | have something on their minds.

zarf says, "it's probably redrawing the status window twice. You wouldn't notice with a regular terp."
Gunther says, "uh oh, the menu navigation will be painful"
olethros arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.

Floyd | Eye of the Storm
Floyd | This place was never that organized to begin with, but in the aftermath
Floyd | of your little team's raid, it's even messier than usual. Tables and
Floyd | cabinets have been overturned in the melee which announced your
Floyd | presence -- a fat lot of good it did them, too. Death walks beside you;
Floyd | fortunately, she's on your side. Your lockbreaker has done his job, but
Floyd | you've still got your own part to play.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sharp scent of chemicals fills the air, but as best you can tell in
Floyd | the dim light, nothing's really been spilled. Those documents your
Floyd | secret masters want should still be intact.
Floyd |
Floyd | Benj, having gotten you in here and then gotten out of the way, is
Floyd | keeping an eye on your planned escape route.

Floyd | Janet picks through the room, ensuring that what resistance there was
Floyd | stays neutralized.

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x cabinets"
Floyd | They're mostly ordinary looking file cabinets, though they have various
Floyd | runes and alchemical symbols painted on them.

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x runes"
Floyd | Tsk. This is regular Modern English, just written down in the
Floyd | Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Sloppy, and it doesn't say much for how authentic
Floyd | the rest of this stuff is.
