I hope they'll never make a direct sequel because the game's as close to perfect as it can be as is.

Maybe, but the world needs more adventures with Kim and Habber Dasher because they are such an awesome pair.

I'm conflicted because on one hand I'd like to see what the team could do with another protagonist, but on the other it feels like Harry still has a role to play in the world.

I am curious what they'd do with a non-amnesiac protagonist. A lot of what Disco Elysium does with Harry it does by letting you reconstruct this man from the wreckage of his total amnesia. A game in this style with a protagonist who hasn't drank themselves into being a blank slate would be very different and I'm interested to see what this team could do with that.

I bailed on hitting an all time low with Kim. It was too much of a bummer.

Did learn what happens if you take Kim's gun, point it at Cunoesse and pull the trigger though. Exactly what you'd expect. She dares him to take the shot and "set her free". Sure enough, Harry kills her if you tell him to. It's an instant game over with a news article where the 41 distance themselves from Harry. It got me, because I was sure he'd flinch or miss, or Kim would dramatically knock the gun out of his hands.

Yeah I loving love that you can just do things like this for an instant game over - it sure makes you actually read the dialogue and not mindlessly exhaust every option like other games train you to do.

The other situation like this that I ran into was intimidating the Hardie Boys - I shot myself in the head, bang, done.

There are quite a few times in this game where I've refused to take a dialogue option even during those times where dialogue is investigative and it looks like you're supposed to be exhaustive, just because it seems it'll take a poo poo on the person I'm talking to. This game turns so many RPG tropes on their head that I took for granted prior to playing this.

Straight up I feel p ok about everything, all said and done I think my Harry had a positive impact on the world and stayed true to whatever batshit wackadoo ideological sense of self he has. Plus I made Kim dance and got that sweet photo so, everything turned out Disco

I kinda want to do a second playthrough as an angry drunk bastard but....I don't want to hurt Kim's feelings. I just loving know Irenicus is going to kidnap Kim in the sequel and I'll be trying to give him 100s of Imoens instead.

Nah, clearly a mysterious old blind woman appears to tell Harry that he is a vacuum of the Pale.

There's a Shivers head bubble convo you can have out near the boardwalk that I remember being utterly amazing and I can't remember it at all rn. Does anyone know which one I'm talking about? I think its part of the chain where you're examining the city as it washes over you.

Are these in the game files somewhere, I'd love to rip them.

Feel like shivers actually makes the game rainier. Like if you have low shivers it's not raining when you leave the hostel for the first time (which prompts the little shivers overview of the town). Guess it could be random or time of day but I dunno, I've restarted a few times and it's happened consistently to characters more focused on it.

this would be a brilliant touch if true, but i noticed the same thing going from playing a low shivers character to playing a high shivers character and thinking "i don't remember it raining on day 1"

With regards to the footprints at the crime scene Is it ever explained who the guy with the one smooth sole is? I was convinced I’d figured out Harry was the killer in the first hour because one of his shoes is lying out in the balcony, but that turned out to be wrong. I think the old communists footprints next to the peephole are the same but I can’t remember it being brought up if he walked up to the corpse at any point. Am I misremembering something?

It really is a brilliant game. A lot of the screen shots people share are the jokey parts, and while there's plenty of humor, there's also a lot of excellent writing that can be really moving (and really good at kickstarting the imagination). It's a great time all around.

You might get a perception check which is basically impossible after doing the field autopsy, and when you fail you get the option to look for a fridge. But if you skip the autopsy-like you apparently did-you're SOL buddy.

Volition was my friend and would give me reassurance when I'd be paranoid, and hope when I'd have none. It's too empowering to be boring.

The only time it was flat out wrong was when it disagreed with me (endgame) taking Cuno on as my partner, 'cause come on, how could I say no to that.

If you miss though, you can carry on with the game, and Cunoesse half taunts you for missing/half laments remaining alive, and if you backpedal and say you didn't mean it and gun just "went off", Cuno's just torn between conflicting responses of appreciating your recklessness versus you nearly murdering Cunoesse. And then just goes, "Stop waving your gun around kids. What the gently caress's wrong with you?" which just about sums it up.

The only thing that doesn't make much sense in the whole situation is Kim just standing there letting us do this tbh, but I guess he probably didn't think we'd really go for it?

Post-autopsy: You can complete/succeed everything with the autopsy but still have Kim take it away. At that point, you can no longer get the armor piece from the corpse.
