Causality vs. Passive WT
If you've used my previous mod, Causality for OIALT, welcome back! I assume you've read the mod page and are well aware that this new mod is quite different from Causality. Let me bring you up to speed:
What Causality was
Causality had two signature features. One: It only provides feedback after you made a choice. Two: Mistakes will not trigger a warning if they are inconsequential. The intent was to keep the original experience of OIALT unchanged while also eliminating fomo. And judging by your (much appreciated) feedback, Causality succeeded in that.
However, I cannot make the same thing for Eternum ...yet. In order to determine whether a mistake is inconsequential or not, I need full information about everything that can happen. And as you know, Eternum's story is still incomplete.
I will release a Causality for Eternum as soon as Eternum's story is finished. In the meantime, Passive WT takes its place.
What Passive WT is
The intent for Passive WT is to make using the official walkthrough as hassle free as possible. And since you can use the walkthrough in different ways, I offer you two modules to choose from: The log and Butterfly.
The log acts much like a normal (written) walkthrough but it's a lot more convenient: It can't spoil you, it's more descriptive and it highlights critically bad choices. Almost a straight upgrade, but it won't help you with puzzles and minigames, you still need a normal walkthrough for that.
If you use the walkthrough rarely or occasionally, the log alone will be enough for you. But if you like to play alongside the walkthrough, you should make use of Butterfly. Butterfly acts like Causality, except that it will warn about all mistakes, even possibly inconsequential ones, and it can't provide predictions of what will happen. It's a very basic version of Causality if you will.
In my opinion, Passive WT is inferior to Causality but still way better than using the walkthrough manually. Passive WT is a mod almost anyone can benefit from! Since it's is also quite a simple mod, I can almost guarantee that with each new public release of Eternum, there will be a matching update for Passive WT at the same time. If you like, you'll never have to play Eternum without this mod again.
That's it for now! If you have feedback or praise for me, don't hold back. Either way, we'll meet again at the public release date of Eternum 0.7. Until then!
