How do you avoid sitting in Evrat's lovely chair? And does anything explain why there's a man who's head is made of light?

For the first one, I think you have to pass first a Volition or Authority check, then a Composure check, and for the second: He explains it, if the net worth difference between two individuals is unbalanced by 99.75% or something in one's favor, laws of physics start bending around the high net worth individual

Which is a great way of fictionally justifying the standard RPG dialog tree, of course players are gonna keep asking questions, that's what you DO in these games. You're forgetting that she thinks that Harry works for La Puta Madre, the mob boss that she worked for before in drug dealings, and that when Harry finds her he's literally going to put a bullet in her face

The Little Kielbasa posted:Unpopular take: this game is kind of a slog. It was crime to release it without modding tools or console commands. Just moving around the map is a drag: slow movement even with constant annoying double-clicks, no interactable map you can use to move like in the old IE games, etc. I solved the speed issue by using cheat engines speed hack option and setting it to 1.5-2.

Cnidaria posted:Thoughts definitely unlock dialogue since there are a bunch I saw for hobocop. They can also provide modifiers to skill checks. This is my favourite thing about the game and why multiple playthroughs are in order. I really liked internalizing One More Door and when getting shot in the military tribunal my limbic system told me I should just let go of it all and accept death, because it's just one more door

Beat the game for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I just want to keep diving into the world and fully explore more of it and its inhabitants. As for the ending, I've seen some people refer to it as bittersweet and I'm curious how different things can end up. I seem to have done a good job wrapping everything up. The crime was solved completely. I found the murder weapon, the motive, the suspect, all the armor pieces, the phasmid (and I got a photo of it), got accepted back into the RCM, Kim seems like he's going to join precinct 41, solved a bunch of side mysteries, and Harry at least seemed to come to an understanding that his ex is gone and is never coming back and is on the right track for moving on. I went with a psychic communist build but most of my exp points went into a wide spread of skills really with only a few thoughts internalized but thats more because I just didn't seem to get a lot of thoughts pop up. Never found out what to do with the blue medicinal liquid, though. The horrible necktie stopped talking to me after I found it, but that may be because I switched neckwear?

The ex thing seems to be another thing I missed huh. I think I'll want to replay this at some point.  Also even though I've been pretty much neutral through the whole game Kim ended up describing me as a moralist, maybe because of the few times I was anti drugs?

I like moralist because it's a perfect send up of thoughtless centrism. "I'm for good things and against bad things. Also the cruiser in the harbor with its guns trained on you is all for the best, please don't do anything bad. "

I always appreciate the fourth wall break. Never passed the check with the phasmid and my skill is so low that I'm too lazy to save-scum it 33 times. What happens in that scene?

Arg I accidentally rejected becoming a "sorry cop" and now I'm very sorry about it. I'd like to go back to an earlier save where I still had the potential to regret. What is the exact threshold of # of copotype thoughts where you get the option to pick a copotype? Three or four?

I'm pretty sure it's at four that you get offered the copotype.

Yeah that particular scene is probably the most moving one in the game, or at least on par with the dream not too far before it I just started Outer Worlds and fuuuck DE has ruined my chance to enjoy it without lowering my expectations

I'd be fine with a slightly faster walk/run speed, but if the game had fast travel i would have missed so many orbs and even conversations that appeared as I raised things like perception and shivers. I honestly didn't mind the endless backtracking because there was always something new waiting for me. It also made it feel less gamey. instead of "welp I've cleared that zone" I was constantly learning new things, following up on new leads, and by the end my perspective on certain areas and people had shifted completely. it was also a good reminder to retry skill checks that I'd failed previously

not a bot posted:I don't think it had anything to do with the title change. The original title refers to Harry's thoughts and the different skills talking with each other and it was changed since to a more market friendly one Furies are deities of revenge born out of spilt blood. They punish oath breaking, infidelity, anger and murder by inciting war, madness and sickness.

Yeah the final confrontation directly references that poem. The obvious answer is that the furies are the skills but it doesn't fit - the skills are almost never antagonistic, if anything they are overprotective.

I was pretty stoic through the nap sequence a lot of people talk about but a certain line made me cry like a bitch during that part and it was the true emotional climax of the game for me

Yes, though they were also thought of as personifications of self-curses, as in past deeds catching up to you and in the context of this game they were a reference to Harry's internal struggle

Is there a way to not be taken back? I tried so hard to be the worst loving cop, but just basic police work denied me the "Kim hates you" achievement and apparently prevented me from losing my job, not matter how hard I try? Ditto for recruiting Cuno and siding against the mercs during the tribunal, both unavoidable?
