I’m tempted to play an Ironman run during my time off during the holidays. Was thinking of the following: -Use one of the prebuilt characters (already played a customized character and wanted to try one of the dev’s builds). -Loads only allowed from death and previous game sessions. -Clothes are set for the day, no swapping. New clothes found or bought can’t be used until the following morning. -Thoughts are mandatory when earned. If no space is available the next earned skill point must be used for a new thought cabinet for the new thought. -Thoughts cannot be replaced until all cabinets are purchased and filled. -Red skill checks are mandatory. Seems like I got most of what could make for an interesting play through. Anything I could be missing?

Finished the game, but apparently by missing the revelation about the pale I never got the full story (I never asked Joyce about it without Kim there, and thus never solved the 2mm hole in the world thing at the church). Every issue I have with it feels incredibly minor, but I was a liiiittle let down by Conceptualization being a less interesting stat-as-personality than a lot of the other ones. I was really pumped to pass a really difficult check at the endgame in the book pile to find out that the shooter is a devoted communist... but you find that out from him in about two seconds anyway, so who cares. And then sinking points into Conceptualization to paint the mural, I couldn't get the paintbrush because my art was too GOOD for cindy argh!!! I did that playthrough with 1 in physical and 5 in intellect as a communist, so next run I'll do a beat-em-up racist fascist, also known as "a cop" edit: how do you get into the passages in the hotel? Is it only the one physical check in Klaasje's room? I kept looking around the bookstore basement since the game said they're connected, but I couldn't find anything.

The key is hanging outside the window in the Hardies' booth. iirc you have to click on the window to spot it and then you should be able to ask them to let you have it.

I think I am on like 16 points in communism without being very arseholish to anyone (who doesn't deserve it) Non spoilery question: I'm after the Big Fight (which went terribly for me, btw, I was totally convinced I put myself in a failure state , do I have a time limit at this point, or can I do sidequests.

More threads I'm wondering how they were resolved:
One minor benefit of Conceptualization that I think was a legendary check: convincing the shooter that the artsy-reconstructed-exploded statue to the king was actually a communist monument celebrating when he died. He bought it but still thought that art was bourgeois. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Oct 28, 2019 |

No Mods No Masters posted:N/A since you can’t play as a good person yeah at best you can play as someone attempting to be a good person after many years of not being one that having been said trying to be a decent person and being a communist are definitely not mutually exclusive, you can still end up with a ridiculous pile of Communist Points even if you don't take every possible opportunity to be a dick about your ideology.

Oh and the church music thing: I improved the music by bringing the tape that was in the tree; the next part of the quest had a "this will take a while" warning, what other music was there to bring? Similarly, I had the thought internalized about the musician, and it made concert posters show up in the wild- but this seemed to do literally nothing other than give me a few "you noticed an old poster" thoughts with no follow-up. Was there anything else to it?

Helping small girls in from the cold, providing psych sessions to lost youth and let them realize their dreams, bringing people closure about their loved ones. You can absolutely play as a massive rear end in a top hat too of course, but it's far from mandatory.

I think some players have been peeved that you can't quite play the superhero who neatly ties up everything as in most RPGs. Your character simply isn't capable of that. You can still do good things though.

You'll always have options that at least read as 'deranged', but not necessarily dickish. You can't help the fact that your character has been a disaster of a person at least up until you start playing as him, but your playthrough can be focused around trying to be a better person who is horrified as he learns about himself.

Tbf, I don't feel as if Harry necessarily was a *bad* person before the events of the game. A wreck of a person, sure, but not necessarily bad. Other than the 3 kills he has registered in his ledger (which Kim mentions is below average for that precinct), there really isn't much to point at.

Way back in the thread somewhere there was an interesting post about Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment where the poster was discussing the use of an amnesiac protagonist. I meant to reply to it at the time but never got around to it until just now. If that poster is still reading the thread, I would recommend they (and anyone else who enjoys that angle) check out Amnesia: The Dark Descent if they haven't already. It's a puzzle game rather than an RPG but it also uses the amnesiac player protagonist thing and is really good.

have any of you read the waypoint review? Is it a good one characterization of the game? It sounds pretty good if a bit uhh, hamfisted? sounding in it's dialogue choices. harry seems to be quite the racist shithead even though he lost his memory.

I would say that waving his gun around at random people, threatening to kill himself and traumatizing Sylvie point at Harry being a bad enough person. But it is possible that's 'only' his lowest point, immediately followed by you playing as him.

Harry is only ironically a bad person, as a joke. You can explain this to Sylvie over the phone.

Kim brings up one of the most important themes of the game right at the start: you are an amnesiac alcoholic, but right now you need to get over yourself and focus on other peoples' problems.

This game looks very graphically non-intense but the system requirements websites say that my Dell XPS13 can't handle it still. Bummer. I assume these websites are generally accurate? I don't have a gaming PC anymore
