To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Pestering a random woman on the street has netted me not one, but TWO cases to work while Kim is away! He's going to be SO proud of me!

You need to find your badge and accept the name on the badge as your name. If you reject your name, then your name remains unknown.

Evrart strikes me as the kind of guy who'd be more amused that you screwed him over than anything.

once everything has shaken out you can tell him "I was really hoping I'd get a chance to gently caress you over at some point during all this" and his response boils down to "Hell, same"

Ask Kim to shoot the corpse down. Then ask to borrow his gun. My character messed up the first shot and mutilated the corpse even more.

finished yesterday after about 35h and it's so good. The seamless transition between comedy and tragedy transported by someone really knowing how to use words and language is just great.


the ending making the appearance of the insulindian phasmid as an essential part after finishing the quest with very much sadness before was extremely unexpected and great


also the first blogpost they did after release was about drug use :v:

Suggestion always steers you right when it comes to playing can opener and getting information from a suspect or witness, but in most other scenarios it gets too caught up in mindgames. Which is fitting for the inner voice of a detective.

Tried this and I didn't have any new dialog options, nor did picking either of the two change anything. Could it have been too late? It was 2am at that point.

Also, I just had a chat where my boy SHIVERS told me his actual name and laid it all out for me, I'm so goddamn proud. One thing I'm a little annoyed about was choosing to gloat when he tells you of the impending nuclear apocalypse instead of asking him what I can do about it. Did anyone pick that one?

I need some help on day 2. Specifically, I'm stuck outside the gate to the harbor spinning my wheels.
I already rejected Race Realism and I failed at punching him out so both options are locked. The little shake pile next to the body is also locked. The body is still up because I'm a dunce. I've investigated the Doomed Commercial Area and the day before I set up a meeting with the guy with the cigarette at 21:00. I've talked to the Hardie boys, the negotiator, got a quest to find a cryptid. Is there anything to do other than to pass time until 21:00 by reading case files?

You can talk to the female lorry driver after you've learned about the pale from Joyce. Learning about the pale from Joyce probably requires Kim to not be with you because Kim thinks letting you learn about it is a bad idea, but if you pass a check you can get him to let her tell you.

I think the pile option unlocks itself with a bonus if you go talk to Cuno about it.

Are some rolls just built in impossible?

For example is there any way to succeed on the empathy roll where you tell the woman her husband died? I have a 97% on it and according to the rolls I should be succeeding, but it still comes up as failed, I tried equipping negative empathy clothes and making her uncomfortable to intentionally fail the roll and it comes out the same

So here’s a thought that sorta stuck with me since dealing with Measurehead. One of the slurs(?) he calls you is HAM SANDWICH.

Is it because you’re a cop or is it because you’re pink from being a white drunk or because you’re a cop from Jamrock and the french word for ham is jambon as a clever wordplay???

Evrert chat: The partisan at the end says he was working for Evrerts brother, who appears to actually be the dangerous big ideas guy. Big ideas as in revolution again, or maybe hes just another kingpin who was playing the old partisan. Either way games good, shorter than expected thought there would be another map or something more after the island. Looking forward to the inevitable Harry/Lena DLC where you go full dugged out ironside/ms. marple cross over.

You can cheese the downside for this developing thought by unequipping it mid-dialogue, clicking the red check, then re-equipping it after. There's no penalty for removing thoughts before they're complete.

Nah if you ask him about it after you get the signatures for the youth center he talks gleefully about how he is going to put up a loving shopping center and put the former residents in apartments he controls. He is a total loving capitalist with a nice coat of paint.

Different containers in the game are colored differently. Many are green and interactable but I see a bunch of yellow ones, and ocassionally blue. Is that related to a hidden stat roll that I passed to make them show up? Yellow for perception or whatever?

They're colour coded for the stats you needed to see them, yes. Perception is definitely the most common yellow one but I saw at least one show up based on Interfacing that was also outlined in yellow.
