Y'know, because this game is so awesome even it can see the grey in threatening lethal force against a child because everything is that hosed

If that's the case I should be okay. I've been more miserable and less of an rear end in a top hat. Aside from victimless things like taking bribes and stealing.

I remember someone mentioning that the achievement never triggered for them so it may be that bug.

Play Kentucky Route Zero instead. It's unfinished, but it was a major influence for DE and it shows. It's a straight adventure game though.

I got a question about the interactable wall near the apartment complex Sold my gas canister, is there anyway for me to paint on the wall?

I used the gas canister from my car but it might be possible to get one from Cindy the Skull. I didn't, but that might be because when I asked her for materials I succeeded at a really hard check to explain my artistic vision and she was actually so jealous of it she didn't give it to me (at which point I explored and got some from my car), so maybe she'll give you some if you fail the check

BTW, think i settled on my second playthrough: 1/1/1/1 failcop. CheatEngine to get enough money to stock up on healing items so I'm not constantly getting game overs, see how far I can go failing every check in the game. There's only the one right before the point of no return you actually need to pass, right?

I just realized what game this reminds me of:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Knight:_Sins_of_the_Fathers

It's another point-and-click adventure where you're investigating a murder, and it's in New Orleans so there's a lot of French accents in the voice acting. Anyone else played it back in the day?

Word.
So I got a hint at how much could change between the thoughts and what you discover about different characters on my first run. I was running a high empathy build but hit the day 2 no progress lockout (I made the mistake of finding the ledger hidden compartment after making the jump to my police coat, so I think I locked myself out of even getting into the harbor).

My second playthrough I'm running high intellect + motorics and it's crazy how much more I'm learning about characters. Even on Day 1 I was unlocking quests with Cuno and Joyce that I never even grazed on my first run.

Consistently just blown away by the quality of this game. I saw someone talking about how Outer Worlds has a quirk that makes it so your character screams whenever they see robots, and it felt very emblematic of huge gap in pure role-playing depth between the two games.

Not really, that's one of a few instant game over points. Don't shoot children even if you're a cop.

I think after you've got passage into the dockyard he opens up more? If it's the certain thought Boiadeiro I had enough Inland Empire to entertain the fantasy but also enough Encyclopedia to shoot it down, and you do not need a lot of Encyclopedia to do that.

I had exactly this since I'd queued them up immediately afterwards - I'm just pushing out OW for a month or so and I suspect it'll be fine.

I was doing a second run through just to screw around, and when I passed that check, the game crashed for the first and only time. I figured it would be a game over, but straight up crashing the game also seemed appropriate.

I just got my wedding video back.

This game terrifies me because I grew up poor. In my post military education I was training to be a teacher, but my wife pushed me to forgo that for a REAL job in finance. I split the difference and went into accounting. I'm good at it, but... She remains middle class and I fear nothing will ever be enough.

If Harry couldn't do it, then what hope is there for me?

Volition: Jk, gently caress that, never gonna let her go, never gonna give her up. I'll just work through it. Harder and harder.
