Unquiet Needle

Description
Here's my entry for the 2024 Pets and Presets modding jam. It's mostly a proof-of-concept for how a sapient, talking weapon could work with the mechanics of Qud. I threw it all together rather quickly, hopefully all the conversations and the questline work as it should. I have no clue whether any of it is balanced, but I hope that it is at the veay least fun to toy around with.

Is yours the hand that will guide the Unquiet Needle to its destiny?

Thanks to:
BarnabusBarnabas, for helping with the concepts for various pieces of lore and mechanics
librarianmage, for helping with the modding process
Yulia and wizardlizard for giving feedback on the sprites

awesome mod, any plays to make more weapons?
or perhaps a part 4 where u can turn the needle into a different type of weapon(sword, axe , club, gun)?

rather you end up getting the quest if in when you encounter the hunters added by the mod

@Aog This seems to be a basegame issue, oddly enough. The same thing happens if you kill Asphodel without having started the corresponding quest, despite Asphodel being marked to not start the quest if you didn't have it before killing them. I've submitted a bug report to the devs

@A Blessed Feline It seems you get the quest by having the mod installed regardless if you took the pet or not the moment you kill an esper hunter.

@Arendeth Yes. How are you getting the quest without having the pet? Because you're not supposed to be able to do that, though I didn't playtest this mod much so it's fully possible that it slipped through

@Lesbian Bioweapon Thank you for letting me know

Addendum: it would appear that it may only be the Ego attuned Needle that causes the bug. I've tested the Wisdom Needle and it does not disable world map travel

Experiencing a bug I've replicated with four characters now, where equipping the Needle obtained at the conclusion of part 3 of the questline seems to break the world map, rendering the player character unable to move on it, but time still passes with every attempt and even getting lost is still possible. On the regular screen you can still move between screens and recoil as ways of getting around. Unequipping the needle seems to resolve the problem, as long as it does not become reequipped

Ah, the Elona living weapon system but they can also yammer at you. Based.

is the only way to finish the quest that can spawn from a mob related to the Unquiet Needle to spawn the item pet?

Seconding that this should be a game feature. Sentient inventory items/equipment are extremely fitting and could honestly be their own faction or at least a subfaction/part of Newly Sentient Beings. At least you can technically spawn in a testhero Legendary item though in the base game!
