You get the impression that he also knows how much your bill is, and that the cheque won't make a dent in it. It's not merely a bribe, but a comically small bribe. But but... It's on a big novelty cheque! How can the amount be small, smart guy?!

I'm assuming no one went with the racism thoughts because who wants to be a racist? But I wonder what kind of consequences there are for that kind of stuff.

I've done a casual racism run. The main consequence seems to be a number of racist options, ranging from merely old-fashioned to holy poo poo, dude, pop up in dialogue and saying them annoys the hell out of Kim but ultimately makes dealing with actual racists easier because you can get buddy-buddy with them. I still managed to be really good friends with Kim while maintaining a "grandpa, no" level of racism, but I have yet to do an advanced racism run where I get totally onboard with the concept of phrenology and that seems like it'd make it impossible because some of the dialogue options you get allow you to be really unbelievably racist.

It's convenient we're playing an amnesiac who knows absolute poo poo!

Got through my first playthrough. Think I got a pretty good ending overall considering I was a physical instrument / darklight terminator. I 100% solved the case - and I got to discover the new species. The only loose ends were that I didn't have good knowledge on who made the call to the cops, and I couldn't match the Deserter's footprints to the ones behind the room. Looking forward to playing again and seeing how different things can get.

Palpek posted:Man, I want to finish the game on my current build but I'm not extremely consistent in my answers to people, like sometimes I'm a commie and sometimes centrist, sometimes a nihilist or something else - I don't know how this really influences my playthrough. Yeah, it's hard to say how many playthroughs you can get out of it before it all looks the same. I'm on my third playthrough, and I think as long as you internalize different thoughts and max out different skills, and pick the dialogue options those skills and thoughts unlock, you get wildly different dialogue. The end result for all the sidequests don't necessarily change that much.

chaosapiant posted:Edit: If there's one thing I'd like to see this game have, it's a hard core mode where there is only auto and exit saves, no skill re-does, and no way to go back into dialogue trees if you missed something. I wonder if it's even feasible to play that way, but it seems this game of all games it should be.

Honestly I would just like a mode where I can choose my starting skills more freely without being so rigidly tied to the main four stats, you could still choose the value for it but they would still set the limit for learning them but then that would require them to rebalance the thoughts and other stuff so I'm guessing it's never gonna happen SOME kind of alternate mode would be really cool though

I'm at like 31 Fascist right now. The bonuses suck - 1 morale damage every time you discuss politics is really a problem. Also, noone really gets alienated, it's like people are USED to discussing things with self proclaimed fascists! But, I got buddy buddy with people with qualms with women.

I seem to be stuck. It's Day 2 at midnight, i've exhausted almost everyone's dialogue, and I don't have the money to pay for my room. I can't sleep on the bench outside to sleep because Kim is still here. I could try talking to klaaje but she's not in her room now. Walking doesn't seem to be moving the clock, so I can't wait til 2. Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated. Look for coins, go beg the rich lady at the boat for money, savescum to open the container at the harbor, cheat, or reload an earlier save. Not having enough money to pay rent at the end of day 2 is the one part of the game where it fails at giving you alternatives.

So, after sleeping on it, I have questions about Ruby. Basically, why exactly was she "framed?" It seems like Klaasje threw her to you / pretended she came up with the cover-up as a completely last ditch effort to avoid you arresting her. Thing is, it wouldn't really have worked if Ruby didn't rabbit the second you rolled into town. Ruby was afraid of you mostly because she knew about you, it seemed a combination of her being genuinely aware you're a good detective and also being afraid you were on the take from her old boss. Seems to me that if either of those were true her best bet would still be to stand with the other Hardie boys and hope there were too many to arrest. I mean, what did she know specifically that the other Hardies didn't? They must have known he was dead before they hung him, right? So basically all Ruby has that they don't is the knowledge that it was Klaasje's idea to do the hanging cover-up in the first place. She's constantly portrayed as the smartest Hardie, but it really seems like running only put her in A LOT more danger. On the other hand someone's fear getting the best of them and making them into a prime suspect for no goddamn reason is pretty goddamn noir.

ruby isn't really a hardie and, rightfully, didn't really trust the rest of the boys to stand with her or not give her up. it's not like they are snitches, you have to work to get the info out of the boys. but they are kinda dumb, if they were entirely tight lipped then she'd be safe and ruby didn't want to risk it. she was better off on her own in the fishing camp, and then with her weird death ray trap i dunno if ruby was framed so much as the player character, ace detective, posed the ruby theory and everyone just sort of agreed with that, but i could be remembering incorrectly
