Cassandra adventure commitment. All DLCs. No mods. 150+ hrs played. The Psychonauts settled in Maryjane, led by scientist Doc, Higgs the marine and architect Pearl. The drug op was going fine, crops harvested, lifestock bred and attacks repelled. People joined, Anima community grew steady. Plague hit two times, killed 4 people in the fall of year 2 and came back in fall of year 3. Soldier Higgs immediately gathered the horses for a caravan, when he and almost all others were struck with malaria. Higgs made it to the next friendly settlement and returned with medicine, only medpacks. Back home he was well tended in the only hospital bed available, it was a very close match, it looked as if he would make it though. Then Pearl, his beloved wife, who owed her survival to her husbands bravery, started a party when her husband was close to death. Higgs the mighty marine, suffering from extreme malaria, jumped out of bed and joined the party. "Malaria, Wine and Most of All His Wife Killed this Brave Marine" epitaph on tombstone. He who tells you this story rage quit Rimworld. For today. Maybe until tonight. Damn this. Rimworld is fantastic, so good it is almost above critique. No complaints, IF the terminally sick would stay in bed, or at least would deliver some explanation for their suicidal defiance. Like zombie walking delirium or sth. Or a diary written by the terrible wife, explaining why she partied while her man was fighting death. This is one of those highly addictive games. Say goodbye to the rest of your life. Bury your loved ones :)
