Alright. What about going deliberately balanced, like with 3 in everything. Will that be taking away from the experience?

god drat it, I took the pants off in the initial room because it decreased my selected stat or whatever, and then spent 10 minutes getting increasingly frustrated. it kind of works for my 1-4-4-3 character though so I'm gonna roll with it

Really the only advice for stats is probably don't do your first play through with 1 in physique and/or psyche. Although the game teaches you that lesson hilariously fast.

What does it mean for something to be your "signature" skill? I can't decide between going heavy on the Int and going for like Conceptualization or Drama, or going paranatural with either Inland Empire or Shivers.

this is a game where stats support your actions rather than actions following stats. you're better off thinking about what kind of detective do you want to be. addict sherlock holmes? rear end in a top hat dick tracy? drunken dale cooper? think about how you would prefer to approach problems and then build your attributes around the kind of voice you would like your character to have Harrow posted:What does it mean for something to be your "signature" skill? it's like the one skill you are Known for, you get an extra point in that skill and a bonus to all skills for the attribute heavy int conceptualization would be like an artist cop. drama would be an actor cop. inland empire is the david lynch cop, shivers is spooky hunch cop. whichever of these sounds most fun to you, go with that - you won't be gated, it'll just be the thing you use slightly more often than others e: if you want to do a brainy cop who is logic smart and spooky smart you can't go wrong with 4-4-2-2 Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Oct 17, 2019 |

I went super deep in Half Light and I'm surprisingly not being told to kill people or run away as often as I expected. Also I can't believe that I almost missed a huge chunk of lore by not admitting my amnesia at the start. That Jamais Vu thought is crazy when you follow it to the end.

Game good. Not sure on the ending probably need to do another playthrough and try some other stuff to fully decide. The number of softlocks I started getting towards the end wasn't great.

Everything about inventing house music and dancing so hard I met the spirit of the city and meeting the giant mantis was great. Doing the first on the last day before doing the last was totally the way to go. Sadly the bed at the end bugged out and I never got the last dream.

itry posted:This made me laugh more than it probably should have: Skill comments are some of the most entertaining writing in game. I don't know if I love it more when they dunk on NPCs, dunk on you, accidentally start working in tandem or entirely lose it due to both you and the world itself being such wrecks. I mean, look at this poo poo (should be out of context enough to not spoil stuff):       I also appreciate how the game is not above squeezing comedy out of everything it can, UI elements included (look at that arrangement of response options):

Late game-ish spoilers I guess? Where do I need to stand for mapping out the possible shooter locations? I found the spot at Land's End but I can't figure out where it wants me to be for the boardwalk and islet.

Okay, I'm being blocked by a major -10 modifier in the church, so I have to ask, how do I learn about the Pale I found a book in the bookstore that mentioned it, but it didn't change anything. I know there was a discussion here earlier mentioning you have to talk to a certain character, but I don't know who they are.

I honestly think Disco Elysium is one of those games that in a few years we will look back and realize it had a profound influence on the evolution of RPGs. Like a System Shock or Ultima Underworld before it. Games that weren't necessarily blockbusters sales wise, but developers played, went "holy poo poo" and embraced the innovative gameplay ideas. I'm sure Obsidian is playing this right now thinking "holy poo poo why didn't we think of some of this stuff, and how can we incorporate it into our next game"?

I'm having a real hard time committing to what I want to do  I know I'm not going to be gated, I just can't decide what kind of experience I want to have. The skills that sound interesting to me are so spread out that I can't really figure out what to do. I'm into Visual Calculus, Conceptualization, Empathy, Shivers, and Perception and it's hard for me to decide what I feel like would be the most fun for my first run. Do I go all Mind Palace with Visual Calculus/Encyclopedia/Conceptualization stuff, or maybe go Sam Vimes like people were just talking about and accept that I'm not going to solve much with my brain? Difficult choices. I tried out the very first part of the game with Inland Empire as my signature and I'm not sure I'm into having my clothes talk to me for my first run, but probably next time.

I am absolutely loving this game, the only problem is it just barely runs on my laptop. The load times are super long, and while I'm willing to deal with it I just hit what might be a bug in a conversation with the Union meathead. It's at the end of a conversation where he leaves and comes back, only when he returns the dialogue doesn't continue leaving me stuck. I've reloaded two saves and it hasn't fixed the issue, has this happened to anyone else?
