Hello.
I am a blind player using a screen reader.
I am stuck during the tutorial quest Learning The Ropes.
The quest does not progress after I master a technique.
I restarted several times and had this problem each time after a mastery.
I suspect the tutorial blocking the quest from triggering, but I cannot fix the problem.
What can be done about that?
Hello, i'm not a game developer, but i was curious if i can help with bypassing your problem.
First, can say that, i played more than 70 hours in this game, and its not easy. Even with both eyes and my brain working, sometimes its overwhelming, its very heavily rely on pressing buttons, sounds in the game would not help much, if you can't see, mostly you would have to rely on memory, and reading each button description before pressing it, and on some menus, there's dozens of buttons like, literally 90% of gameplay is that. Its a good game, but its not easy to play as enjoying it this way.
So, you are stuck at quest Learning The Ropes, after mastering the technique ?
Just to make sure, ill describe sequence of actions needed to master the technique, until whole sequence ends and next step of tutorial starts.
First, you open window with stances, techniques, etc (button "S" on keyboard by default).
Next, go to Techniques tab. Then you select technique, Advancing Fist. Then it comes tutorial window with text, Click anywhere on the screen to close it. After that, pressing Attempt mastery. Another tutorial window, close it again. Then comes tutorial window with pointers to press the button, which upgrade the rarity of effect that you rolled, by mastering the skill. Pressing that button, then tutorial window again, that teaches about button, right next to upgrade one, with reverting the upgrade option. Pressing anywhere to close tutorial window, then another window, close again, then confirm. Then closing window of Advancing fist mastery. Closing again window with tutorial, after it closed, it asks to head to "crafting actions" submenu, to pick Simple Fusion option, and attempt mastery on it too. New window with tutorial, close it again, press confirm. Close window of menu. Close window of techniques. Now this part of quest is finished. Can press on learning the ropes button again, to progress the quest. After that, you talk to character, and progress the story. If you can point on exact step where the progression is stuck, i can look into it and see what could be wrong. Also, game is updates from time to time, so it might be a bug in older version of the game.
Hello.
Thank you for your answer.
The problem happens if the screen reader does not read the tutorial text and there is no way to dismiss it.
I no longer have that save file.
I will have to start again when I want to play.
I did not try on the newest version.
Screen reader not always reads the tutorial text for some reason.
This is not the first case of getting stuck because of the tutorial.
This is just the latest itteration.
In this case the problem is probably that I am unable to read the tutorial text when it appears and close it.
I can only read the window with techniques and mastery.
That blocks the quest progression,even when all possible techniques, crafting and fighting, are mastered.
If it doesn't read all the text on the screen, sadly, there is no much can be done, if problem is not fixed in screen reader. Some parts of tutorial require to click specific button on screen to proceed, and this can't be closed by clicked anywhere on the screen, only specific button or after doing specific action. I think i described each step of the sequence where you might got stuck. If you need more pointers, feel free to ask, but i honestly think there is better games to play as blind player, game itself is good, but not really designed to be played only with screen reader i assume. Also, good luck gamer, stay strong (heart emoji)
