"When has a devil proclaimed there are only several hundred soulless?"

My mistake. I caught a glance of Find out more about the soulless when I was checking if it had the new difficulty set up (I'm nowhere near obtaining a key to any of the late-game lodgings) and thought that she said that no more than eight or nine hundred citizens misplaced their souls. :(

"I say, that's not very democratic!"

As one former revolutionary once said, "When you chop wood, chips fly."

"The focus has switched from bare ankles and loose hair to other body parts, but people are still hung up on sexuality."

It's only natural, but I was talking about the magnitude. At no time in recorded history of Britain was the dichotomy between what the elite considered to be "correct" and what was actually going on in the street as striking as in Victorian times. My complain is that we don't get to see any of that in FL. The story is set in a time when anywhere you looked you could see revolutions - in science, politics, gender equality, economy, demographics - but when I look at my day in FL it's all "high society event, high society event, jewel heist, hired assassinations, some failed attempts at archeology, high society event".

Maybe I'm just bitter because the initial story rush has subsided, but my skills aren't high enough (60-70) for anything interesting to happen.

"Considering how you began the game as a fugitive huddling in a crypt, you should be proud of how far you've come!"

I went from being homeless to a Veligarden darling so quickly that I thought I was merely a toff down on his luck. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm a PoSI.

"she's keeping her options open by sticking close to Society, Hell and the Revolutionaries"

I'm keeping absolutely all of my options open at the moment (my character tilts towards the Revolutionaries for obvious reasons, but finds them too amateurish, unfocused and unorganized) and I haven't picked a side from the Numismatrix. Should I do it at all? If yes, than when should I do it?

"shape your environment!"
