Y’all ever read that one about “the worst day of your life?” I think that was the actual title. That one had a bunch of weirdly hardcore shit. It’s like George R. R. Martin wrote that shit, under an alternate name.
At least half the choices in the book would cause you to die horribly.
the most fun ones were the author basically chastising you for being so stupid to pick the option they put in the book themselves lmao. i miss adventure books they were fun.
You begin to slide down the slope. You scrabble for purchase but there’s no way to stop yourself. You eventually die of thirst, sliding down the endless slope
I’m not kidding this is literally a death sequence I ran into in one of these books.
Basically there was an option to go a small distance down an ice slope for some reason.
“Teacher said I had to finish the book.”
Speedrun any %
Quicksave immediately after getting a new offensive power so you can try it out ASAP on the NPC that gave it to you.
I can’t do that! I would feel so bad.
Thats the point. They are pretty fun
OP discovers the “choose” part of “choose your own adventure”
Sometimes when I play a new video game I do the same thing where I figure out how quickly it allows you to die. Very rarely do they let you die in the tutorial.
In Elden Ring, one could argue jumping into the tutorial was the first wrong choice altogether.
(dunno, I skipped it accidentally and came back a short time later. I did not need that roadblock…)

I’m playing through it for the first time currently. Tips? I’m not super far. Basically through the tutorial, then I accidentally did the “a woman’s lot” quest and slogged through that for a few hours.

Thanks! Yeah I wouldn’t say I didn’t enjoy the writing of the DLC, but, after doing 2 hours of fetch quests, another 2 hours of fetch quests was a bit rough. Though, I don’t think I would have liked Theresa as much as I do without it. So there’s that.
Glad to hear about the weapon combos.
combat is difficult until you and Henry know what they’re doing.
So I shouldn’t be that upset that 1v1 bandits are very hard and anything more is actually impossible for me?
I’m definitely enjoying it, though, now that I feel that the world has opened up, I don’t feel like I can progress the main story(killing bandits after ginger) so I’m sorta just treading water, not sure how to progress lol

Is his thumb on the old page to go back to it quickly?
Is that Shaq? How old is this? I don’t remember him ever looking this young and slim.
Shaq was a baby once
Did anyone else read those books from start to end? Like a normal book?
I did it with dictonaries, too…
Does this even work?
Every “Choose your own adventure book” I ever read had the correct path, and every wrong choice had a 5 page “And then you died…”.
No intertwining anything.
You read bad ones then. I picked up a huge stack at a book fair called Lone Wolf circa 1985 about a psychic warrior monk. Each book has multiple paths that can lead to victory.
Sounds nice. So Lone Wolf is the title of the books?

First book is called Flight From the Dark
Thanks!
I found out the books can also be read online, printed out, or downloaded for ereaders through this project with blessings from the author:
Ah, good stuff. There was an android app that allowed you to read them and automatically kept track of your items and health. I just looked and I think the project is dead now unfortunately, but it got me through some boring days at work.
Many books have a more complex structure than simply an acyclic directed graph; an ending often has multiple ways of being reached.
Watching some modern shows is like reading these books from first page to last page instead of following the instructions. The only difference is that every ending in the book becomes a dream sequence in the show.

V - I sure hope this works for someone.
