One you get from the shitting memory in the Doom, all but one of the others you get from socks while they're sleeping, then there's just the last one by process of elimination.
I feel like the reason I can't do this is because I'm ESL and not used to boat lingo. Like, what the frick is a bosun? A helmsman? A steward? A midshipman? A topman? A seaman? The game expects you to find what people are through SYNONYMS of these positions, or to observe people executing the respective functions. THERE IS NO FRICKING WAY I AM GOING TO LOOK AT SOMEONE AND SAY "Yep he is doing topman stuff" AS OPPOSED TO ANY OTHER ROLE EVER.
Good to know that it can still be done. I might revisit the game later. I sort of had my morale crushed from minute 1 when I realized that the game expected me to know how all that shit works, so maybe I didn't try hard enough.
Yeah it kind of eases you in really, you don't need to be in the maritime industry to be able to solve the cases. As you go on you'd notice the common threads and elements between certain sets of people, and from there make educated guesses based on their appearance, what they were doing/have done, who they're hanging out with, etc..
>I feel like the reason I can't do this is because I'm ESL and not used to boat lingo. Like, what the frick is a bosun? A helmsman? A steward? A midshipman? A topman? A seaman?
It's not because you're ESL, it's because you're fricking moronic. Every one of those terms is defined in the book's glossary, which you have to flip past to even play the game.
There's a glossary and a map with their rooms labelled
I KNOW ABOUT THE GLOSSARY, moronS. And it doesn't explain anything in deep enough detail. What do I expect the topman to be doing? And the midshipman? And the seaman? The game only defines each role in like 10 words and it is definitely not enough to solve it.
why wont you google those terms then?
I'm ESL too and I just did some research on the things I did not know, and I managed to get everyone without randomly guessing
Because I didn't know if I was supposed to know what each role does, or what these roles look like when executing their jobs. I played the entire game whilst thinking "wait, do Americans know what these people do? No, right? The game expects you to not know it... Right?"
Then I reach the end of the game without knowing who half of the crew is. I played the entire game without knowing what the devs expected from me.
I'm not an ESL and I didn't know what the frick a midshipman is or any of the other terms apart from "captain". I'm a native english speaker, not a sailor from the fricking 1800s.
Using basic logic you could reach the conclusion that Topman work on the TOP of the ship, on the rig. Midshipman would be delegated to the deck and seaman to the lower quarters. Not to mention as you cross names you can start to see where the people with these ranks are on the ship. I'm not saying It's intuitive but it's no that hard to figure out.
wtf are you on about? midshipmen are just junior officers and their work would take them everywhere including the rigging and the hold. >Sorry sir I wont climb into the rigging, you see I'm just a "midship"man >gets flogged around the fleet
You can assume those are all wild cards and cross them by elimination, If they're on the rig and Topman didn't work, they're probably midshipman. Again is not that hard.

Googling still feels like cheating though.
That has nothing to do with being ESL does it? Filipinos, the fattest ESLs out there, make up majority of the seaman currently and they still use the same maritime terminology.
Everything except bosun is self descriptive. >topmen work in the rigging, i.e. THE TOP >midshipmen work in the middle of the ship, i.e. not in the hold and not in the rigging >a seaman is a general sailor >a helmsman mans... this may surprise you... the helm
Out of all the vocabulary in the English language, its words for sailing are perhaps the most varied and native. That's not to say other languages are any less varied, but English in particular is very proud of its history at sea.
How am I supposed to tell if someone at the middle of the ship is a midshipman, a seaman or just some other role running for their life as the ship is attacked by otherwordly beasts? Honestly frick this game, I'm starting to think that the people who solve it are actually morons making farfetched assumptions and the people who can't solve it are actually considering all possibilities.

yeah the ranks aren't really all that relevant as far as what they are depicted to be doing since they're almost always chaotic as af, what they help with is once you identify one person belonging to a specific rank (which is usually made to be easy) then you can extrapolate that deduction and apply it to other folks in similar situations (same clothes, same work area, same nationality, etc.)

No, you're not understanding it at all.
The topmen work the rigging. Those are the chinese dudes.
The midshipmen are officers, who specifically work between the main and mizzen masts, and they oversaw the seamen, who were regular sailors.
At no point in the entire game do you need to guess an identity based on midshipman or seaman rank. AT NO POINT.

It's not your sort of game, and that's fine. Some people enjoy solving shit and figuring out the answers to the questions you literally asked in this thread, and you just get angry and give up. Just play other games, dumbass.
Someone else who didn't understand the question.
Now I get it. Everyone at the top of the ship you're supposed to immediately classify as topmen. Everyone in the middle is a midshipman. You're not supposed to consider that they could be anything else.
Bravo, great game for brainlets.

Your question is being ignored because it's fricking moronic and irrelevant. Topmen literally stand at the top, midshipman is a rank. If there isn't a logic trail that leads you directly to identifying someone's title using in game information and the in game glossary, there's ways to figure it out using basic logic. It's all available in game, and plenty of people successfully figured it out and enjoyed doing it.
You didn't, you gave up and blame the game.

How was I supposed to know that midshipmen work in the middle of a ship? And seamen? That sounds gay as frick.
You don't even need to find out what a Bosun does, the game gives you two ways to figure it out without doing so >"my frenchman" comment >He wears a unique whistle/pipe on his neck in all his scenes and is the only person to do so. The same whistle can be found hanging in the Bosun's cabin in current time.
wtf are you on about? midshipmen are just junior officers and their work would take them everywhere including the rigging and the hold. >Sorry sir I wont climb into the rigging, you see I'm just a "midship"man >gets flogged around the fleet
And guess what? None of those characters are identified by that role.
Like the bosun is readily identified because he's in his office. But the seamen? Those tend to be identified due to the plot or name dropping.
It's funny you say that, because if memory serves there is a scene at night where you identify the bosun. Nobody else is in there because nobody has any reason to be. One man, middle of the night, named role's office. The game is practically screaming at you.
It's absolutely not ESL at this point, it's autism. And it's terminal. How you manage to chew your food is a mystery to me.

You see that is the difference between you and me my friend. I work with EVIDENCE and CERTAINTY. You're looking at some guy standing somewhere and assuming that he is where he should be. I know that a midshipman could go hang out at the top of the ship occasionally, or that someone else could be using the bosun's office temporarily because their own office flooded or whatever.
The game is made for brainlets who can't extrapolate. Of course if I played it by looking at everyone in a general part of the ship and instantly assigning 20 people as midshipmen it would be easy as frick. But I am far too smart to do that.

No you identify the bosun in the scene where he's asking about what happened to his mate (my frenchman). The only frog in the crew manifest is the bosuns mate.
Can't get much clearer than that.
>THERE IS NO FRICKING WAY I AM GOING TO LOOK AT SOMEONE AND SAY "Yep he is doing topman stuff"
If you honestly can't look at this group of people working at the TOP OF THE SHIP and intuit that they're topmen even after reading the glossary then you might be moronic.
The officers all wear fancy hats and/or coats and the midshipmen also wear very distinct but not as fancy coats not that a moron like you would ever notice a detail like that.
>The officers all wear fancy hats and/or coats and the midshipmen also wear very distinct but not as fancy coats not that a moron like you would ever notice a detail like that.
Right, because GOD FORBID a seaman is feeling cold and decides to wear a jacket. NUH-UH! Only officers can wear jackets.

I hope you are being ironig or some crap.
It's true, tho. Putting aside that learning English is tutorial level thanks to the wealth of media, resources and opportunities to learn, knowing a second language does not in any way improve your intellect. Language shapes thought, and there is no benefit to be gained from knowing how to say "and" or "today" in different tongues as the ESL must surely do in order to gain basic communication skills. Indeed, the ESL abandons depth and breadth of knowledge in his own mother tongue to acquire a shallow knowledge of two or more tongues, forever rendering his thoughts simple and rudimentary; meanwhile, the ESL is free to strive for ever greater heights in the only language that truly matters, improving their intellect immeasurably through every sesquipedalian sequestered in their lexicon.
>the ESL abandons depth and breadth of knowledge in his own mother tongue
This is where you're wrong. I speak my language better than 99.9% of my countrymen and can still speak English better than the average American. Stop assuming everyone is moronic like you.
the only one I looked up was during the traitor's scene when the old china man died by fire from the box. just fire seemed too simple for something that looked otherworldly
Didn't like it. It put me to sleep. I don't feel like I'm part of the story investigating after everything happened and there's a great distance between me and the flashback I can't ignore. Never felt involved puting names on the portraits of dead sailors.
I really hope that one moron is pretending to be moronic in usual Ganker fashion. I'm ESL and didn't have any trouble with the sailor lingo. Imagine being filtered this hard and grasping trying to call Obra Dinn a brainlet game when you lack basic reading comprehension or observation skills.

>favourite filters?
The brothers. Hit a roadblock there, took a break to think on it then realized one died at the very beginning and therefore only the surviving brother would have a hammock hanging in any later memories.
So having my INFRA replay done, playing through Painscreek Killings, having my eye now on Crimson Mansion, but Obra Dinn is popping up here and there on Ganker once in a while. Can't say I'm into the graphics much, but how is the game otherwise? Would you recommend?
The music, the art, the scenario writing, the coherence. Importantly, it's entirely possible to get filtered if your observational skill is lacking. There are no popups or dialogs to hold your hand and guide you to the answer if you're moronic. It's unique, it's interesting, it's challenging, it's fun. It's a product of love, something that has become exceedingly rare.
The only real trouble was trying to determine where the frick the ones that escaped went, completely missing the fact that one of them was the author of the book in the first place and forgetting that Morocco was held by France at the time. I was getting pissed off like "WHY ISN'T MOROCCO AN OPTION????? AM I moronic???" And I was really being moronic.
Also the Chinese dudes were purely guesswork for me. Apparently you were supposed to find their bunkbeds with numbers or something. Thankfully by the end I was able to 100% it, which was really nice. Loved the game
One of the 4 Chinese dudes is a freebie because he hangs out by his numbered hammock in the kraken chapter (and is the only surviving Chinese topman at that point). At this point you have 3 just right for the guessing mechanic, but if you're autistic about not doing that, then two of them have to be cross referenced between the hammock numbers and their shoes. Last one is via elimination.
Nah, you just have to be attentive. It's only impossible if you don't notice the hammocks to figure out all the "difficult" ones.
>he was filtered
>he had to look up the answers
When I figured out the topmen, I had the biggest rush of dopamine of my life.
A moron like me could, OP
Everything except chingchongs on ropes is deductible

this, if you had to brute force or look up anything else you're a literal brainlet

I feel like the reason I can't do this is because I'm ESL and not used to boat lingo. Like, what the frick is a bosun? A helmsman? A steward? A midshipman? A topman? A seaman? The game expects you to find what people are through SYNONYMS of these positions, or to observe people executing the respective functions. THERE IS NO FRICKING WAY I AM GOING TO LOOK AT SOMEONE AND SAY "Yep he is doing topman stuff" AS OPPOSED TO ANY OTHER ROLE EVER.
I'm ESL too and I didn't have any issues
Its called logic and reasoning, with a dash of critical thinking
Good to know that it can still be done. I might revisit the game later. I sort of had my morale crushed from minute 1 when I realized that the game expected me to know how all that shit works, so maybe I didn't try hard enough.
Yeah it kind of eases you in really, you don't need to be in the maritime industry to be able to solve the cases.

I finished with a bad end because the game told me I could do some other chapter later, and then the game ended instead. little mad honestly

yes, which I did. but at the time, in the book there was a chapter it said I'd get to look at later

The brothers. Hit a roadblock there, took a break to think on it then realized one died at the very beginning and therefore only the surviving brother would have a hammock hanging in any later memories.
I didn't connect the fact that the tatooed guy was scottish and also I somehow didn't notice part of the hints where the surviving crewmen went
Let me guess, you got stuck on the Indians?
>does everything right
So having my INFRA replay done, playing through Painscreek Killings, having my eye now on Crimson Mansion, but Obra Dinn is popping up here and there on Ganker once in a while. Can't say I'm into the graphics much, but how is the game otherwise? Would you recommend?
It's Ace Attorney for low IQ morons. Honestly, don't play it.
For even lower IQ than Ace Attorney? It can't be THAT bad.
I'm sad that we'll never, ever get another game this good.
What's so good about it? Never saw anyone mentioning what was so incredible about it.
And nobody ever answered that question too, how strange.
The music, the art, the scenario writing, the coherence. Importantly, it's entirely possible to get filtered if your observational skill is lacking. There are no popups or dialogs to hold your hand and guide you to the answer if you're moronic. It's unique, it's interesting, it's challenging, it's fun. It's a product of love, something that has become exceedingly rare.
The only real trouble was trying to determine where the frick the ones that escaped went, completely missing the fact that one of them was the author of the book in the first place and forgetting that Morocco was held by France at the time. I was getting pissed off like "WHY ISN'T MOROCCO AN OPTION????? AM I moronic???" And I was really being moronic.
Also the Chinese dudes were purely guesswork for me. Apparently you were supposed to find their bunkbeds with numbers or something. Thankfully by the end I was able to 100% it, which was really nice. Loved the game
One of the 4 Chinese dudes is a freebie because he hangs out by his numbered hammock in the kraken chapter (and is the only surviving Chinese topman at that point). At this point you have 3 just right for the guessing mechanic, but if you're autistic about not doing that, then two of them have to be cross referenced between the hammock numbers and their shoes. Last one is via elimination.
