How do you use the cards you learn? I assumed it worked like a roguelike and after unlocking every card I could I forced myself to die and still couldn't use them :/
Unlucky :/ You should be able to use the new cards. Press "V" to open the menu. Click one of the "Locked" card slots and select the new card.
All works! I just didn't know about it before
Oh I did notice, though, that skipping dialogue prevents you from unlocking cards (at least for Intimidate)
Oh damn, I hadn't realized that before! Gonna make those unskippable, ty for pointing it out!
