Has anyone managed to buy the street lamp? Does it do anything?

I don't think there's enough money in the entire game to buy the street lamp outright. Unless there's some bit of content I missed around it, I think it's just for show. Goast posted:the shooter on the island comments the boombox is one of the reasons he knew you were coming, has anyone been able to sneak up on him by not using the boombox and walking the whole way on the island? I thought about asking the thread about this but I figured it would be pointless; anyone who's lame enough not to turn on the boombox is probably on ignore.

cheating in enough money to buy the streetlight results in the pawn shop owner refusing to move it for you and it's too big for you to lug around by yourself so it just sits there

I've been told about the point of no return, but I still have three hours to kill to get the gun. It's annoying that I can't bench for a while with Kim.

I love the case file you can't even read without solving it. It's a good opportunity for characterization. Even drugged out of his mind Harry can't help solving crimes the minute they enter his internal monologue.

How does time work anyway? Does the clock constantly move forward in real-time or does it move as you do stuff/talk to people? I don't want to go AFK and waste a bunch of time.

Same thing it always is: a fourth suspect who was a background character you weren’t supposed to pay attention to until Mullen lays out all the airtight evidence (not at actual in-game answer, just my experience) Edit: Also, I’m about to head into endgame (got told to get my gun ready), and I never fully resolved the church situation haven't found a way to open the icebox which I assume has another computer thing in it which allows me to convince the programmer to listen to me, never opened the bunker, nor found the third shooter location - am I leaving a huge amount undone? skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 27, 2019 |

Have you told the programmer you've hosed up the icebox? She gives you a tool, which can open another bunch of chests in the world.

You know, I'm actually pretty unsure what Kim's politics are. Best guess: He's sympathetic to moralism / centerism but not the MoralIntern / ruling coalition. He's definitely into Revecholian independence, but his ethnic background alienates him from the nationalist/fascist groups. He seems sympathetic to the revolution - at least aesthetically - but also acts like communism is a dead end ideology. I don't really know where he stands on ultraliberal / libertarianism. He simply could be annoyed at Harry for begging for money but it seems a little more than that, I kind of get the sense he thinks it's cruel or gauche or something. I suppose that kind of leaves moralism, although he does not seem to be down for institutional moralism. So all in all probably a disappointed communism turned reluctant centerist.

unwantedplatypus posted:I listened to Evrart's speech about his drug-funded socialist commune and honestly it seems like a nicer system of government to live under than the modern american one If you talk to him long enough you can get him to drop the drug stuff and just focus on the superprofits from a worker owned major shipping hub which should be good enough for his plans; he's untrustworthy but he knows scrutiny from the drug trafficking could gently caress up his plans, and the money'd be good enough without it. It's a trope that isn't done that often; what if the leader is a corrupt piece of poo poo, but does good for people anyway?

I think Kim just mostly keeps those kinds of things internal since he's a public official in a deeply fraught political situation. It isn't that he doesn't have strong opinions, he just plays it close to his chest.

Playing through again, I gotta say that delivering the news of her husbands death to the working class lady is probably some of the realest writing I've ever seen in a video game. It's just so *raw*. I don't dare imagine what you say if you fail that empathy check.

I don't dare imagine what you say if you fail that empathy check. yeah that was one of the most affecting parts of the game for me so far, along with the crashed squad car because right when I was realizing what it was, I read the "oh god, no" dialogue option and it was the only natural choice

Just picked this game up blind after seeing everyone in the Outer Worlds thread constantly bring this up. I have learned 0 about the game except that I can be a weird alcoholic detective and that the writing is excellent. I haven't been this randomly excited about a game I'd never heard of in quite a long time

It'll be great, you can tell everyone about your Important Political Opinion."

Running into a weird bug and curious if anyone has run into this or if it's a gamebreaking thing. I'm trying to remain as unspoiled as possible so it's hard to tell if this is a big deal or not. Has to do with the apricot-scented card you find inside your ledger. If I read the card, I faint and go through another sequence with the Reptile Brain and Limbic System. Then I wake up in Kim's car, we have some brief dialogue, and it ends with two dialogue options that both end in (Leave). Whichever I pick, the game ends up 'freezing'. I can open the character sheet/journal but not the thought cabinet or main menu, and I can't move – the dialogue box with Kim's character image stays up and nothing happens. I have to close out of the game and Steam to be able to restart. Went through this twice just to make sure and it happened both times. Gonna file a bug report but is this a super significant thing to be locked out of? I'm only ~5 hours in.

Nah, you're good, just toss it to the wind. It's mostly just some character building.
