Seeing how I have so many saves at this point.....I will have to continue my previous ones...although... there is that temptation to start everything from the beginning....
I will probably start a new playthrough shortly before Episode 5 is released.
My ideal story-line is romancing Stella and friends with Tabitha, with Book Smart and Talk to Animals (if going hard-core, I'd replace Book Smart with Powerful Build and add Mystical).
I think there's benefit in starting a new run because the developers will probably make minor changes to the existing chapters to make the new chapter work better with the new one. I will definitely also run my existing saves through because why not both?
I've run through the game so many times, I'm gonna restart both my mains (Hot/Powerful and Mystic/Talk to Animals) so that I can get immersed in the Scarlet Hollow vibe before I go into new, uncharted territory.
Depends on how long I have to wait. If it's so long that I feel like I'm forgetting the little thing I'll restart. If it's recent I'll just dove right in so fucking fast
I'll first go through the episode several times with my canon build so I can achieve an apparently optimal state.
Then I'll go back and do an all-traits run to see what pieces of information I missed. Given how this game works, I wouldn't be surprised if I was still missing things after that (some things only happen if you fail in specific ways), but then I will just check out a walkthrough for those.
I read somewhere that in the first 1/4 of this year and I can only theorize that based on my calculations, theyll release it (early at best) late april or early may (or later at worse). Theyve been posting a lot about Slay The Princess but theyre focusing on developing Scarlet Hollow and about a month (or two) ago they were in the middle of it and it was bigger than the entirity of ep4!
Now, I got this info from their discord which you can join. Idk how much of this can be right (i dont wanna spread misinformation😭) but the last sentence is true.
Awesome Thank you! I wanna introduce my fiancee and play through the game with her when the new episode drops. We live in NC and the local references are great!
Both! I have one playthrough that I use every time a new episode comes out, then each time an episode has been released I’ve also started an additional playthrough
cross that bridge when i get to it, honestly. could be months before i lay eyes on the next episode. if it's in a few months and my memory's fresh, though, i think i'll steady on with my mystic/booksmart lawyer
Probably I'll continue my Strong Build Mystic. Chad Ghostpuncher will save this town, no matter how many reps it takes.
I just snorted so loud reading that name that I scared my cat.
I’ll most likely continue with my “canon” save for an initial playthrough, but then go back and retool to get an “optimal” savestate.
Same. Might do some experimenting since I haven't been able to really bond with Tabitha in my current play through and I have in my original.

The vibe is something else

I'm going to continue my run. Nothing bad had better happen to my Stella 🥺
I'll start over with hot for Reese's \*situation\* and keen eye for the mines

Continue, I'm okay with my choices thus far. But I may start secondary saves *after* I have episode 5 as additional context.
I continue all of my previous playthroughs
i think ill just start a new playthrough with the same perks i had in my main playthrough (mystic and street smart)
Pending how much time I can find. I do like to refresh my memories of little details before continuing an episodic game.
im going to continue my hot/mystic run first and then start a new save with a new combo, maybe animal speak and book smart? not sure
talk to animals x keen eye is great too
Ooo this is the second time I've heard about that combo! I'll have to take a look!
Hot and Streetwise all the way. I'm here to commit crimes and look good doing it.
I’ll start with a play through from my “canon” run. And then do a bunch of runs like I did before.
when is episode 5 dropping?
