chaosapiant posted:I'm doing a sober run for my first play through, and even though drugs and booze have decent bonuses, it just doesn't fit with my character thematically. I'm playing a dude whose so shocked about how horrible he is pre-amnesia that he's swearing off booze and drugs. playing as a guy who is aware that he hosed up bad and is trying real hard to fix things and be a good cop again is the way to go for a first playthrough because playing like that makes finding your badge an incredibly impactful scene, whereas continuing to be a fuckup or lunatic makes it just one more thing on the list

Professor Cthulhu posted:I tried the whole game and kept failing this until I finally got it on day 3 or 4. I have no idea if anybody says anything different before that but nobody brought it up after the fact. removing the expression is described well enough by the game: the expression makes you a joke. if you take it off, you're just a sad old man. It's up to you whether that's preferable. I happened to take it off on day 4 the morning after I found my badge and I thought that was incredibly appropriate timing.

Are there any other opportunities to change your portrait? I got rid of the expression and shaved my sideburns off, was hoping there was some way to have him look less pathetic, maybe get rid of the red glow or something.

Nothingtoseehere posted:You've got to put the json file back in the save .zip. I've done it for skill points, not actually sure if it works for stats but should. What's the right line to edit for skill points? I looked around 1000 or so, saw the available skill points line set at one and changed it to ten and flipped the false to true, but it made my save unable to load. Something I'm loving up?

I didn't touch the false/ttue bit and it worked. Maybe that's the issue? It's near the money and health ups too (which are also easy to edit).

You have to be really careful with editing the stats. Adding skill points is probably the safest option. Putting any of the 4 core stats above 6 will cause the game to crash when a roll happens. Messing with modifiers for skills can cause the save to either not load, or a crash when rolling. If you really want to cheat Cheat Engine is probably the safest route. There are scripts on the cheat engine forums that make it quite easy. Even then you have to be careful. Using cheat engine to put the core stats over 6 will still cause crashes.

I just want to open up the thought cabinet without needing to pick between it and skills. Seems like the negatives from some thoughts are a big enough downside that it shouldn't cost me extra to equip, but that's just my own opinion.

I love how it manages to cram all that party banter into a party that as far as I can tell never has more than two actual flesh-and-blood people in it. It feels a lot like they may have intended you to have an actual party at some point in development but it got cut. A lot of stuff feels like it got cut, come to think of it; this game is great but it feels like you're playing the first act of a three-act or five-act story.

I hope so too, but this game is already 20-30 hours on a single play through with multiple playthroughs viable. It's a pretty dense game.

You're not mistaking the negatives for internalizing a thought with negatives once it's actually equipped right? Those go away once you're done internalizing. At least in my playthrough I filled my cabinet (and then some, deleted a few to make room for new ones near the end) and I saw only a very slim few with actual lasting downsides. like maybe 2 out of the 15 I finished

No not the temp ones. I seem to remember one or two so far that had some downsides but I'm only at the end of the first day too.

So, if you buy one of the bookstore books, the one on Innocents, you can use Logic checks to help with the quiz it gives you. The skill dialogues in this game are definitely not I-Win buttons.

Harry is the perfect gently caress-up. My Harry took the amnesia as a massive wake-up call to get himself out of the gutter and turn his life around. I stayed off the booze and drugs all game and internalized most of the Fix Yourself kinda thoughts. In my head, he's well on his way to being a non-gently caress-up again.  Although according to Kim, he's also a raging fascist, hates women, and is a bit of a racist.  I didn't even think I picked any of those options, except when I was trying to get on a subject's good side.

one of my favorite things about this game so far is that succeeding at a check is not always a good thing; it just means that you succeeded at the thing you were attempting to do, it doesn't necessarily mean that what you were attempting to do was worth doing
