Has anyone else played Kentucky Route Zero? It’s a similar game - main character is an alcoholic in a fantasy realism world, but without any RPG aspects. I really enjoyed both, Disco Elysium has better writing but KRZ is also very good.

KR0 Act 4 might be the single most triumphant example of video game writing i've ever seen in the way the entire episode is bifurcated with each little scenario being presented in a unique way that would only be possible within its chosen medium, culminating with the Ramblers' performance of "This World Is Not My Home" DE was amazing. nothing in it topped KR0 4 in my mind i give it slack on its interminable development time because every episode took forever to come out and every one of them raised the bar to heights i didn't believe possible

Internalizing thoughts doesn't actually open new dialog options, right? You can spout off fascist / communist / etc opinions just by having the thought available but not internalized? Political ideology clothes (hustler shoes, moralist pants) - do they actually improve the benefits of an internalized thought when equipped? Do they provide said effects as a substitute for the internalized thought? (i.e, - you equip the hustler shoes and get +1 to Indirect Taxation. Does that mean that you get the benefits of having internalized IT, even if you haven't?)

Al! posted:i dunno about better but theyre very different genres that focus on poverty and working class people, krz follows the in southern gothic tradition whereas this is more neo noir Yeah that’s a better way to put it. Disco Elysium is certainly funnier and obviously “gamey-er” for lack of a better word. I think they would both appeal to similar people, so if anyone in this thread finishes DE and is still jonesing - go pick up KRZ.

Equipping the ideology clothes just seem to trigger the corresponding thought immediately instead of having to choose the correct dialogue options x amount of times first.

Is there a way to have a good understanding of what any given thought is going to actually do once you internalize it? Some of them I'd only internalize for roleplaying reasons but others just seem like random things, or I've just not noticed any actual rhyme or reason to them, and it takes a skillpoint to undo any of them.

I'm about to end day 1 and I have a question about the mechanics - how long into the in-game night can I play? I know that almost every NPC will be gone by 2 am but I want to go exploring. Can I just not sleep at all or will I pass out in the street or something? Are there consequences for not sleeping enough?

I will also have to add LISA to the recs along with KRZ if you're looking for more games that are well-written and have similar vibes to Disco Elysium. LISA is a different game mechanics-wise as its more of a JPRG in design but it can be hilarious one moment and then soul-crushing the next. I would suggest just stick with the base game though, the follow-up expansion, The Joyful, wasn't nearly as good.

Have you all played Cart Life? It's not an RPG but it's an excellently written economic game that explores themes that no other game goes for (social isolation, poverty, fighting for your child against divorced spouse, growing old) but it can be really depressingly soul-crushing in ways that even DE doesn't reach. The author made the game free a few years after its release. It features pixelated graphics which may not be in everybody's taste but it's really worth giving it a chance.

Nothingtoseehere posted:You don't need to mess with cheat engine or anything to break the game, old fashioned save editing does the trick. The saves are in Appdata/Locallow under the studios name, saved as zip files. Open one up, take the .JSON file out, edit in notepad++ (skill points/stats is about line 1000), put JSON back in zip, and load save. Tada, one OP character.

You could also help out another promising new EE RPG dev and invest in Encased's Early Access. In terms of stories with a somewhat similar feel, you could read some Warren Ellis. Transmetropolitan is great, Crooked Little Vein and Gun Machine are decent.

So how high do you have to rock your stats before they start unbalancing you? I've never had any higher then seven and not seen them force any bad decisions on me.

Play Pathologic 2 y'all. We can't have a discussion about literary conceits in games and not bring that one up. It's extremely stressful to play so I know that means it's not for everyone, but the quality of the world and writing is wholly unique and the way its mechanics and narrative intertwine are unmatched. It's about spending twelve days in a hosed up town dying of plague.

Are there consequences for not sleeping enough? Time stops progressing at 2 a.m. but there's also very little you can actually do at that hour. So you're required to sleep each night no matter what. This is never a real problem except on the second day, if for some reason you manage not to have 20 real on that day.

I found Pathologic 2 too much of a poorly designed slog when I really wanted a version of Pathologic that wasn't that. Ice Pick can claim its their vision all they want, they just have always sucked at making decent game design. Disco Elysium does a much better job about having themes around failure without you easily running into an unwinnable state twenty hours in.

I'm really glad I had high Conceptualization, Inland Empire, and Shivers on my first run. All of those skills piped up with so many great passives that added so much flavor and atmosphere. But my favorite part of those is that as far as I can tell, Inland Empire and Shivers don't lie to you. They can be cryptic, but they always seem to tell the truth. This applies even very early in the game, when, if you shoot down the corpse, he can tell you that (to paraphrase) love did him in, but communism pulled the trigger. And that's... actually kind of true. I like that, early on, it's easy to see Inland Empire and Shivers as "meaningful hallucinations" but the way things bear out I think they're definitely more on the side of "actual supernatural visions and perception" than hallucination.

Going to start playing this tonight. I usually read the negative reviews about a game to get a good feel for how it might be, and the negative reviews for this make me optimistic (they seem to frequently consist of people complaining about not being able to control failure and save-scumming, which implies that the negative reviews are from people who just expected a more traditional isometric RPG game).
