Obviously more spoilers - but more chances to see the characters and how the skills flow and interact, and honestly it seems to still be barely scratching the surface of the game. No less than three Skills are incensed that the manager rejects your plan to sing karaoke! And there's more intra-Skill responding than just Volition.

There seems to be a lot more voice-over in this game than I thought. A rapper called Dizzy DROS plays a character called Measurehead. In an interview he mentions doing 12 hours of recording for the game. With editing that probably still amounts to a lot of dialogue for a single character, even if most ends up discarded. Spoilers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03_ty7sa_G4&t=1s

I'm way too amused at the fact that putting on your pants first gives you an objectively lower chance of success at grabbing your horrific tie.

Hmmm... as is my custom for a first playthrough, I'm probably going to go boring and traditional: High Motorics and Intellect, quite a lot into Logic, Visual Calculus and some Coneptualization, and high Perception and Reaction Speed with some Composure. ... So I guess that would be 4 MOT, 4 INT, 2 PSYche, and 2 FSYique. Maybe signature skill Perception. Because I'd rather not have a heart attack because I turned on the lights while suffering from a hangover, dying in the first few minutes of the game.

After seeing the preview and The Expression, I have made a decision to fight against the game so I'm going all in on social skills and turning my drunk loser into a SEXY drunk loser. This will inevitably fail.

I was planning 6 Int/4 Phy with Shivers as the signature skill, mainly because it seems like such an unintuitive build, I want to see if its even possible to be competent. It feels like you won't have the perception to find the clues you'd analyse with Int, and won't have the social smarts to find the points you'd push on with Phys. I guess we'll see.

Was thinking about how this isn't a game of particularly high numbers. Though I don't know the actual max potential caps, so far the lowest difficulty check I saw was 8 and the highest was 18. So you'd need a total of 15 points in a single skill to have the best odds you'll ever have for that; that'd require a 7 in the Attribute and 8 Skill Points to do without other bonuses, which is something you can't get from character creation (though the preview images on their site do show a 7 Attribute). 6 in the Attribute and 7 Skill Points would only need to make up 2 from items, though, which should be easy; heck, even 5 Attribute and 6 Skill only needs to make up 4 points. I'd anticipate being able to achieve that with maybe 2-3 Skills in a normal playthrough, though the more you do, the fewer resources you'd have to spread elsewhere. Not to mention the mechanic of "adding a point unlocks white checks" means there's a bit of a tactical aspect in the timing of leveling - you might not want to rush your levels. But you also have to have a threshold for the MANY passive rolls, so it's not like sitting on a hoard of unused points is the strongest strategy, either. But anyhow, the chart helps me visualize some things: assuming you have to beat the difficulty like the METRIC blog says and not just match the roll like I saw happening in an early build, whatever Attribute(s) you have at 1 enjoy a little worse than coin flip odds to chime in on the easiest rolls for associated Skills. That drops to a mere 16.7% for Normal checks! Mitigating that's possible, but even an investment's only going to really help with baseline competence. But that might be enough to get by. Something I've read to consider for anyone planning on a low Physique run (minor early spoilers): the Volumetric poo poo Compressor Thought is obtained from vomiting multiple times while trying to deal with the hanging corpse. This is probably a useful Thought to keep active because Endurance also serves for your Health pool, so it's one of your few ways to compensate for your squishiness.

ETA: For Insane Mode, don't put any points into anything and start the game with 1/1/1/1 spread. (Yes, the game allows you to do this).

Oh dang I remember hearing about this one years ago before the name change, thinking they'd never pull off anything that ambitious. And now it's October 2019 and I get to see if they pulled it off. Now I have to decide if I'm doing the classic competent cop with decent Motorics and Intellect, a high Psyche Lynchian nutjob, or just hitting random at the character creator and seeing what I get. Regardless I'm gonna spend a couple hours in the character creator agonizing over it.

I've been following this for a while, it looks great. At worst, it will be Alpha Protocol, I'm hyped. My favourite thing about it is that they had to change the name because people kept reading it as No truce with the Furries and it was turning people off the game.

No Truce with the Furies was a better name though.

Alpha Protocol is one of the kings of reactive gameplay, also along with Tyranny. And yea, Alpha Protocol has been in the back of my mind as far as comparisons go when seeing footage of the game. Not the game systems themselves, nor the writing or gameplay, but definitely the reactivity.

It's a little thing but I like that your cop has a body that can be read alternatively as "age and alcoholism covering a sturdy frame" or "weak, flabby intellectual" with the same model.

The price is 39,99€ in the Eurozone, 39,99$ in US and 34,99£ in UK. Steam prices often vary between other regions and they have not yet said what any of those regional prices would be. Here's a french preview for those who can parlais: http://www.jeuxvideo.com/preview/1120113/disco-elysium-un-rpg-particulierement-ambitieux.htm Their verdict: Excitant.
