Any word on when the book "Sacred and Terrible Air" will get a release? I want to explore as much of this world as possible.

I've known him for all of 10 minutes but I can already tell Electrochemistry is going to be trouble.

I'm already pumped about my planned second playthrough where I'm electrochemistry and physique all the way! I'm going to boozehound and facepunch my way to victory. I hope we get DLC/expansions/more games in this setting/a sequel or something. Edit: Does this game have a NG+ option? chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Oct 18, 2019 |

Yeah like, DE if nothing else is the first 'RPG' I'm eager to turn around and play through another time fairly quickly in a long, long while.

While there's no official NG+ I think you could do something like that manually by editing the save file. All the character stats are stored in .json files, so you could probably just copy/paste your endgame stats to a new game's character.

Freaking Crumbum posted:i think it could also be simpler than that - DE does not let you roleplay a character outside of the five or six specific archetypes the game presents. you can't not start the game as a hungover addict. you can't not be bumbling and incompetent and you can't not have lost your badge and your gun. it's more akin to alpha protocol where you're always going to be michael thorton, and you can determine within specific boundaries who michael thorton is, but you can't not be him. strong disagree on this point. you don't have to. yes, his backstory is fixed but from the start of the game you're allowed to play any way you want. unless you're min maxing (which is a choice in and of itself) you don't have to pursue any one archetype to the hilt. you can be full commie and then halfway through decide you love money above all else. i guess what im asking for is "if you feel limited in the way you can roleplay, please name any rpg where you have more fine control over roleplaying, and not just in the way you kill people or unlock doors"

Speaking of jason's files, do ya'll know where the game's config.ini file might reside? I'd like to see if I can manually edit it so I can play 2560x1080. This game is too pretty to not use my big ol screen.

Two questions: 1. How many days are there? I'm like halfway through day 3 and I feel like there's a massive amount of stuff I haven't had time to get to yet. 2. I just accepted a free room from an old lady, and inside my Shivers told me to "CHECK UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS." There's no clickable for that, though. Am I missing something? Do I need more Perception or something like that?

I hate 'time' in games and feeling rushed or missing something because of time-gates. I didn't know it was important to this game either, so I kept alt-tabbing out for a few hours and not realizing that time is ticking ingame.

Also, I don’t think the time was advancing for me past 2:00am, since I did a lot of stuff each day at 2:00 and the time did not advance past 2:00.

Followup question from the days thing: Is there a hard limit, some point past which things wrap up regardless of how much you've accomplished, or is the "end game" triggered by your own actions and otherwise you could theoretically just keep going till you've found everything your particular character can do?

Zikan posted:To make money you can get just enough to cover your rent + damages for the first day from the White Pines negotiator on the boat if you have high enough volition. Otherwise you have to skimp and save with Hobocop and probably take the union boss's insultingly low bribe to make it up. I can't see a way to raise enough otherwise on the first day If you have high enough Intellect, or at least Rhetoric + Conceptualization, you can talk your way into and get week's worth of rent money from the empty shipping container.

How much do you need for that, because it's just an empty container for me. Ah well, Hobocops real home is on the streets

Megazver posted:I just remembered a fun fact about that Eurogamer review. It's not really unfair, the combat in the game was unmitigated garbage and you either had to spend a lot of time running past enemies or killing trash mobs, not only that but the best stats and skills for combat were basically antithetical to the best ones for experiencing the plot and writing. This is why Disco Elysium avoiding an issue virtually every cRPG has, lacklustre combat that gets boring and tedious long before the you reach the end of your playtime, is a really good thing.

Most of the stuff available on day 1/2 I was able to perform , with only a few stragglers I followed up on later (and those are very unlikely to be critical to the main murder mystery)

Also I used to think that having at least a couple points in volition and endurance would be required, but Im remembering that the convenience store sells 3-packs of healing items for 2.50, so even that isnt a requirement if you scrounge up enough dough. Definitely doing a 5-1-1-5 playthrough next time as the worlds most fragile rear end in a top hat.
