January 28 Update
🕑 Added 2024-01-28 18:00:07 +0000 UTCI have an update with another important question for the next TLS release, but first indulge me in a report about this week.
Reasons why Sierra is exhausted:
- 1) Overly ambitious goals: 20%
- 2) Too many projects at once: 5%
- 3) Community management: 3%
- 4) Realizing she forgot something from the previous post: 3%
- 5) Human beings exist and she has to deal with them: 68%
- 6) Making sure the fake percentages don't come out to any 69s: 1%
Optimizers, casual players, and doomrunners alike: how are you feeling about total ProN vs total investments as of Megail's final income statement? This is one of the things that has varied most from original designs, due both to new additions and more aggressive investment plans than I modeled.
As with the entire game, my hope is that players will need to make strategic decisions about how to invest. People who have been relentless about optimization should be rewarded by not having to make too painful of decisions, but I don't want it to be possible to just buy everything. How does your save match up to these goals?
EDIT: To be clear, I am not revisiting the entire game's balance at this time. I'm interested in how people feel about the amount of ProN they have left at endgame versus remaining investments.
Depending on overall responses, I may add or tweak some final investments. But after the upcoming update, no more investments, only consequences of those decisions.

On an optimized playthrough, the stuff I've got left un-invested in chapter 5 totals about a million Pron in value. So I'm pretty damn happy with how it all turned out :)

Seems that conversation wasn't set up for different circumstances at all, and has apparently not been revisited before now. More dialogue for the anger variable, dialogue for happening after the war, alternate Wynn/Varia dialogue during the creation itself...

Sorry for bringing up in this context, but I wanted to report something that just happened. I have dominated Varia. I'm on chapter 5. I already have Wynn on my harem. When I was going to forge Varia's custom blades, in Yhilin, the dialogue assumed Simon was still mad at Wynn (Varia asked if it would be better if she spoke to Wynn, since he's "mad at her"). I received the items, but the flavor text felt inadequate.
