Playing with Fate

[mildlyApathetic]

Cute title, aside, I'm a first-time player and a Fate player at that (specifically Maid of Fate). Do any Fate players have any advice for me? The FAQ said Fate Players do instinctual stuff, but I haven't really done anything like that so far. Though to be fair I haven't explored much since I'm still in the WTF-is-going-on phase.

The WTF-is-going-on phase sticks around through the entire game in varying levels of why-is-this-happening and this-isn't-what-I-signed-up-for. You'll get used to it. It never really goes away.

As for Fate, I've never been one but I've played with a Fate player. Trying to think too hard about how it's supposed to work will probably throw the whole thing out of whack- Fate's about instincts just as much as it is about direction. You'll be compelled to do something out of gut instinct. Don't ignore that little voice going "hey. hey. do this. do it now."
Okay, that could also be your exile, but they sometimes know where it's at too.

Basically, your aspect is all about doing what comes naturally. If you rolled it for your first time, Sburb is probably trying to tell you to stop overthinking things.

Seriously, stop thinking about it. That's bad for you.

And don't look it up and do a bunch of research. That's only a good idea for every aspect that isn't Fate.

Maid is a Class that synergizes nicely with Fate. She is supposed to be a buffer and helper that assists her friends with her instincts and boosts their attack power (spoiler: those shiny arrows are your friend and you can put them on weapons)

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll ignore Fate for now and let it chime in on its own. It sucks that I got the aspect that doesn't combine well with FAQs, but I guess that's for the best. I do over think things a lot and maybe if I stopped doing that I could get some work done.

Thanks again.

I'm currently a Rogue of Fate, and not as in touch with my aspect as I would like to be. Any advice for Fate stealing shenanigans?

Edit: Decided to just let things happen and see where I go, wish me good luck.
