End Expedition?...

[Warlok]

So I have gotten *decently* far, lost a Hero, and I'm at the Inn. I could continue until I am slain, or I can End the Expedition right at the Inn.

Is there an advantage to simply Ending the Expedition? Some kind of trade-off or something?

[gonzo]

No, you get the candles you have gathered so far without any additional bonuses you would've gotten by progressing.

It's basically a very badly placed 'quit run' button that makes it seem, due to its location, that it's a tab with similar gameplay weight to the ones it is surrounded by.

Hit it when you feel like it's not worth trying to push through with whatever setup you have.

You'll probably lose all your memories though, can't confirm because I've never done it myself, but I think it's a safe assumption.

[Warlok]

Crap. They should have explained that better in-game.

Nah, if you end expedition while in the Inn, you won't lose your heroes memories, if you Abandon expedition on the Esc settings, then yes, this way you lose your heroes memories

This is the real answer, do not get trolled OP

Abandoning a run at an inn means your characters live.

Abandoning a run in the wild means your characters die.

Characters keep memories if you abandon at the inn? That sounds arbitrary and nonsensical but I won't complain about less stringent things.

It's relatively logical, it's just that the options have not been given names that reflect what happens, which for players is uniformative.

When characters abandon the mission at the inn, they survive, thus they are available for the next attempt.

If you abandon in the wild, they are assumed to have died, hence there are replacements at the Crossroads.

The message you get when you abandon at the inn still sounds as if 'everyone died'. Something along the lines of them being "lost to darkness" or some such.

I read somewhere else that you used to lose memories even if you abandoned at the inn, but they changed it during the Early Access period. Which is probably why the message and the options-labeling, don't really make it clear that there is a distinction between "abandon at inn" and "abandon on the road".

Part of the problem is that people are conflating "abandon run" with "end run". Using the escape button to abandon run anywhere, even at an inn kills your characters. However, at an inn there is an inn menu tab button which "ends run" early. Using this particular button saves your characters memories

Did you also get your replacement hero? Do you have that option?
