That’s what happened to me on my first playthrough hahaha. I ended up restarting from nothing and blowing through what I already knew. Same choices but made sure I was getting all the free equipment I could when I did it the second time through.
Let me mention something else here based on your experience with people telling you to use barrels. Barrelmancy is fun but it is absolutely not required to beat the game, even as a new player.












He didn’t shut himself away, but this isn’t far off from what happened to The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. He had an ending all lined up dealing with a cold type disease that made everyone stupider. Then COVID happened. He had a storyline about how some shitty British political shit. Then Brexit happened. He stopped writing the main line series for a few years because he couldn’t keep up with how batshit things were getting.
If you like computers, math, Eldritch monsters, dry humor, making fun of bureaucracy, and thinly disguised metaphors for anthropomorphic climate catastrophies, you might enjoy it. He’s got one book left in the main line coming out in 9 days. Thank goodness because I’m going to need him to stop predicting a worse future. He’s moving on to a space opera or some shit so I’m hoping he’ll start writing about how wonderful everything is so we can start heading that direction.
