What we really need is a compelling reason to poke at curios, whether we have its corresponding item or not.

At the moment curios feel like they are a reward for the people that bought the right items ahead of time, but they could be so much more. If I don't have a curios matching item, I have very little reason to risk touching it. At this point, my adventurers just kinda roll over whatever they run into.Īs I look back over my adventures, I think I see a bit of a flaw with the whole curio system: relics, or extra supplies on missions I've fully upgraded every building in town, gathered lots of good trinkets, and have 150,000+ gold saved up. Now I'm in the endgame, and I don't touch curios at all. Maybe it's my own fault for walking around with radiant light all of the time. I dunno, the curios rewards seemed kinda lackluster at the time. I'd use any keys or things I found inside the dungeon in a heartbeat, of course. In fact, I'd do that even if I didn't have the right items on hand.Īs you might have guessed, those characters ended up with more than their fair share of diseases and mental breakdowns.Īs I delved a bit deeper into the game, I stopped buying the curio-unlocking items.

I'd buy one holy water, a key, and a disease-curing thingamajig, ready to throw my intrepid heroes at whatever intriguing object happened to cross their path. When I jumped into this game a few weeks back, I was all about curios.
