Amazing.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you (day 4+ spoiler) show up to the Tribunal without your gun?

The chances of the union getting massacred are higher. If you have the horrifying tie and high enough Inland Empire, you might be able to concoct another weapon for this encounter

BigRed0427 posted:

And I just want a simple yes or no Is there a way to get the gun back without the Union's help?

No

Less simple answer : No, but during the ruby encounter you might get another gun if you pass a red physical instrument check

I just started playing today, so far my favourite interaction was passing a skill check to ask someone for cash, and the game letting me ask by just screaming "MONEY!!!!!!" at her. My only real problem is remembering what skill does what, but I'm getting better at remembering.

Dropping in for a quick question, how permanent are idological choices? If I pick to be a communist and then later change my mind, will it give an out? I noticed it does that for the various "XXX Cop" ones.

I always wondered how the gang tags worked, are they actually separate from avs when added by an admin or are they always embedded?

Internalise Thought: Canonised Hobocop Gang Member

Problem:

-1 Savoir Faire: Feelings of forum tag inadequacy

quote:

Sleeping rough, collecting tare, punching children: All of these are just normal everyday activities for cops of your calibre. Anyone can pretend to be a hobocop. But ranking yourself among the ranks of the elite? Woah, hold on there pal. Who says you're good enough? You've been flying gang colours since time immemorial and now you want to change? Do you think you can just slap a tag under your avatar and - badda bing, badda boom - you're suddenly worthy of representing yourself as a fully fledged member of the rough and tumble hobocop lifestyle? This isn't a decision to be taken lightly.


Solution:

+1 Half Light: Down and dirty
+1 Espirit de Corps: One of the boys
-1 Suggestion: Can't get near anyone

quote:

You can stand in a shower for hours and still smell like poo poo. People cross the road when they see you coming. Criminals turn themselves in rather than face the possibility of climbing in a cop carriage with you. It's time to shed yourself of your old persona, rub some dirt in your many, many festering wounds and greet the new day from your luxurious home under a bridge, for with this new tag under your username you have finally achieved the highest echelon of police excellence: A true, grade A certified Hobocop. Raise a brown bag of something strong in victory; you've earned it.

Is there/how strict is the time limit in this game? I just started day two and I've done the field autopsy on the hanged man, I have a mission to get two signatures from the union dude, and the corporation lady wants me to investigate some drug trafficking thing. I've seen people mentioning Harry's notebook and some files that I havent found. games like this always make me feel like I've fallen too far behind regardless of what I do, so I'm curious

Oh good, I thought I just skirted the line since Kim and I had a long chat and I went to bed immediately afterwards. The writing and overall feel reminds me of Pathologic, so I think that's why I assumed the time limit was strict :v:

It honestly made my first playthrough more fun when I was under the assumption that there WAS that kind of time pressure but nah it's nothing like Pathologic. For the most part the day count is only relevant in how there are certain things locked before you reach a certain day -- nothing too big gets locked after, although there's some cool stuff there that's a worthwhile incentive for having at least some sense of urgency
