One of my fav things to do at the start of the game is become a soldier for the first lord I encounter, so I figured if I was gonna test the last build I would start there. I started the game in Hakata and soldiered up with lord Tachibana. It didnt take long before we got massacred. LOL. Anywho, this is where I noticed the problem(or not if it was designed that way). When we were defeated a new quest opened up called "Enlisted: Captures", which I assume is the quest that allows you to hook up with your lord again after he respawns back in the game. Now, when you are a soldier there is a quest that stays active while enlisted called "Enlisted in the party of [whatever the name of the lord is]", this quest stays active even if your lord has been captured or defeated in battle, and stays active until you ask to leave service or you do not return in time to your lord after defeat(or temp leave) and are considered a deserter. So after we got whooped I eventually escaped capture and ran my naked butt(i love that they take all your issued equipment LMAO!) back to Hakata to wait for Tachibana to come back from the netherworld. After a couple of days he was back and I waltzed(still naked) into to the castle to get back to duty. Next to my liege lord was lady Nonaka and spoke to her real quick and she told me that her husband lord Ito had been captured. I figured that since Ito is Tachibana's brother, I could get some free brownie points with my liege lord.(i want in on that daughter of his, Ginchiyo lol) So before talking to Tachibana I accepted the quest and went to Hiroshima to break Ito out.(if i would have instead rejoined Tachibana's army and then asked for leave to do the quest it would have been a little harder to complete since I would have to sneak into Hiroshima since I would have had a negative relations score by being associate with the Otoma clan which they were currently at war with {edit: upon further thought I think that I am wrong here, if I am on leave i dont recall if your relationships temporarily reset}) Upon breaking Ito out(gorgeous new Hiroshma scene by the way) I went back to Hakata to talk to Tachibana. When I spoke to him it didnt complete the "Enlisted: Capture" quest and there was no option to rejoin his army, there was an option to join his army but from beginning again as if I hadnt already fought and leveled up with him previously. I looked at the quest log and the "Enlisted: Captures" quest was still there but the "Enlisted in the party of [whatever the name of the lord is]" wasnt. I wonder if doing another quest before rejoining broke it or maybe doing a quest that increased my relationship with Tachibana broke it...
I joined with Tachibana from scratch and waited til we lost(was even quicker than last time lol) and then spoke to him after respawn. Everything worked perfectly. So I quess I need to try to recreate exactly what I did last time to see if I can break it again.(i shouldnt have picked realistic save if i was gonna be testing, lesson learned)
Other than that minor weirdness this update is the absolute tits. New scenes, new hair, new armor, new weapons, new faces, new arena, cross dressing agents, fracking NINJA STARS, new start mission, etc etc etc... Bloody brilliant!
Also does anyone else think its cool that Don is basically starting a deserter uprising in his game? Awesome and hilarious.
(I just noticed i used a ton of words to describe something simple, i will leave it to showcase my terrible communication skills lol, wall of text FTW)
