The following is a tutorial to teach you about the POINT SYSTEM in Walterquest. (refer to the image for a tl;dr)
There are TWO (2) types of POINTS:
WALTER POINTS - These are indicative of Walt's good nature and levelheadedness. <span class="mu-r">These are also indicative of Walt's weakness and ineffectiveness.</span>
HEISENBERG POINTS - These are indicative of Walt's bravery and badassery. <span class="mu-r">These are also indicative of Walt's egomania and manipulative tendencies.</span>
You'll earn POINTS as a consequence of your actions. You can only have TEN (10) POINTS of each at any time.
POINTS serve as the main gameplay mechanic of Walterquest. You are encouraged to spend points regularly to perform actions and advance the narrative. <span class="mu-s">Holding on to a disproportional amount of points for too long can have adverse effects.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Having too many WALTER POINTS has a higher chance to fail some actions that require bravery out of fear or inability.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Having too many HEISENBERG POINTS has a higher chance of overriding good natured decisions due to ego.</span>
When these actions are chosen, a check is required. <span class="mu-s">This check has an equal probability of success or fail at 0 points, but with each additional point, the probability is skewed.</span> For example, at 5 WALTER POINTS and 3 HEISENBERG POINTS, the probability of failing a bravery check is 60%, and failing a good nature check is 40%. 3 POINTS cancel each other out, and the 2 remaining WALTER POINTS skew the probability. This also means having an equal number of points keeps the check at 50/50.
The POINT SYSTEM is also necessary for character interactions. Characters will react differently depending on the ratio of points you have. <span class="mu-s">The closer you are to their preferred ratio, the more positively they'll view you.</span> For example, WALTER JR. prefers you to have a ratio of <span class="mu-s">2:3</span>. He will view you similarly if you have 2 WALTER POINTS and 3 HEISENBERG POINTS or 6 WALTER POINTS and 9 HEISENBERG POINTS, since the ratio (2:3) is the same. On the other hand, if you have 2 WALTER POINTS and 2 HEISENBERG POINTS (1:1), he will view you less favorably as opposed to 6 WALTER POINTS and 8 HEISENBERG POINTS (3:4), which is better but not the best.
Managing your points well is key to succeeding in everything you do in Walterquest. If you have any questions, please ask away.
