Locked out of Endgame?

[Aidan Pryde]

Hi.

Got a Question here and any help would be appreciated.

I think I locked myself out of the endgame.

At the start of the game I researched the "No Masters" Tech so I don't get a Ship and none of the Mages and no Codex either.

Now in the later game, when I researched all I could (I already have the keys researched and and the UAC Stuff for example, my research window is empty, i have all journey notes all, interrogations, even Star God Operatives), I found out that I can't research Crowning, without Crowning I can't research Diplomacy and without Diplomacy I can't research School Graduation.

So anything that is locked behind that is lost to me and I can never finish the game?

I'm "a few" hours into the game and now blocked because of a decision I made in the first hours of the game?

Or am I missing something, from the Techtree Viewer I can't figure it out.

Any help or tips?

Thanks

Techtree Viewer is not everything. Event also play major role.
I hope you know about this site: https://xpedia.netlify.app
You will get Crowning after Finale of the Primal Hunt, which is different for those who rejected the power.

No, I did not know this site, thank you for it.

I just think either I am reading this wrong, which is a possibility as I didn't know this site before or I can't reach it either way.

Primal Hunts comes from Cleopatra's Challenge, which in turn requires Contacts: Thebes, which in turn requires Crowning.

What am I missing?

When you're on the ?Reject the Power? path, you will eventually get an event which is a  second meeting with the Wasteland Priestess.
This immediately leads into the Priestess' Lessons I and II, and those give you the Dark Star tech so you can find the Desert Witch and unlock Voodoo, as well as the !Primal Hunts! so you can progress down that path.
?Reject the Power? runs get a special finale mission for the Primal Hunts which will make you a Savage Queen and give you Crowning.

Uhh, okeeee? I don't even know of the first one. Is it one of those pop ups every now and then like this "the governor cut the power cables"? And I already have Voodoo, got it from a Noblewoman I think. Does that matter? Can I just force this somehow? Or can I edit my savegame?

I checked it in my Savegame, I found: STR_WASTELAND_PRIESTESS: 2 and STR_WASTELAND_SORCERESS: 2 under researchRuleStatus

Yes, it's an event that pops up a window on the world map just like the power cables event does. The Voodoo topic is separate from what I meant, and shouldn't affect this. I was referring to the Weirdgal transformation and other more specialised Voodoo research. It's not really relevant to this so don't worry about that.

You can force the event to trigger by save editing. Open up your file, search for "geoscapeEvents". This is the part of the file that details all of the scheduled events for the current month. Then start a new line directly under it and paste this code on that line:

Code: [Select]

  - name: STR_WASTELAND_PRIESTESS_2
    spawnCountdown: 50It should look like this afterwards.

Code: [Select]

geoscapeEvents:
  - name: STR_WASTELAND_PRIESTESS_2
    spawnCountdown: 50
  - various other eventsThat will cause the Priestess II event to trigger almost immediately after loading the save. If it doesn't work, you can upload your save here and I'll get it working.

Awesome, thank you very much, adding the event via savegame fixed it. Now I can continue.
