Been playing this game for a while and love it. I got sucked in right away the Art is brilliant. Some questions: 1. Does equipping thoughts change your personality and dialogue? Or is it just a perk to skills or exp/money gain? 2. Does the game have a time limit? Like if I don’t do something in day 1 does the option to do it permanently close for the rest of the game? Is there a game over screen if you take too long? 3. Can you recover from the problems you had prior to the start of the game? Like will the game reflect your attempts to become a competent, healthy and well adjusted person? Is that even possible? Can you change your appearance so you look less messed up/drunk/disheveled? 4. Does it matter much what your politics are? Can you change something in the world? 5. Do you have any options to pursue personal relationships or mend old ones? 6. Do you ever find out who you were, your name, who your ex wife is etc?

Is this like Planescape where you want to have high points in certain skills to maximize the experience? Just wondering what skills I should be putting the most points in to get the most out of the game, or if it's pretty equal no matter how you allocate points.

The idea is each specialization gets it's own variation of events - higher points in anything are better than an even spread in all. They've done a decent job of making them all equally valid, unlike planescape which really has one ideal build. you want to be a strong drunk, or an authority/cop figure, or unhinged psychic - they are all very valid. with any given build you'll fail many different things and succeed where it counts - the idea is to embrace being mostly bad at things and scrape through with that you are good at.

My playthrough ended abruptedly, I've gone ironman. All saves deleted. I provoked the union boys so much they shot me dead in the cafeteria. Whoa guys, keep it cool! Restarting as 1263 Half Life rear end in a top hat.

ymgve posted:How did you get in, by the way? big spoiler, don't read unless you are pretty close to the end after shaking down the hardy boys, questioning the washerwoman, finding the secret compartment in the shack, and then questioning the washer woman with the new info; i went to the billboard in the abandoned warehouse and got a challenging Shivers check to make. it gets bonuses from various sidequests and thing you learn in the world so i was able to make it even with low shivers. i then was able to sneak through the sewers into the warehouse. i'm fairly certain finishing the basement quest starts the endgame quest line that bring you to the crisis of the story so don't do it until you're ready to. it's either this quest or hitting night of day 5, not sure yet

This made me laugh more than it probably should have: It's just a cropped out of context comment by Conceptualization.

I went 2-4-4-2 with Suggestion and realized I've basically made James Bond. I'm only about an hour in but already in love with this weird hilarious game.

Cubo made me his bitch. I probably shouldn't have pushed that conversation, I didn't like that the only "winning" option was to full on punch him in the face.

The first night I played, I listened to my Inner Empire and not looked in the mirror. Last night, I decided "gently caress it", went back, and took a look. Oh god why didn't I listen? WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN?!

Am I gonna... give drugs to the kid Like obviously on the surface it's a terrible idea but my Esprit de Corps is trying to convince me that this will be a good thing down the line somehow. And Esprit de Corps is like, one of the few... honest skills? Or I guess more accurately, skills without an "agenda", as far as I can tell. I'm also curious how this will go, because I don't think this game is just gonna leave it at "lol of course you don't do that" Don't answer it though I was kinda being rhetorical. I'm probably gonna end up doing it, just behind Kim's back

It probably doesn't have anything to do with time of day because that guy doesn't come home until later in the story.
