End game spoilers: I really liked when you were walking around on the island you can have a thought that comes up that mentions the reeds moving or looking strange, I got super hype and figured the phasmid was here. Definitely was not expecting it to be a loving 3 meter tall talking insect Edit: oh drat the more I think about the more I realize the game had some really subtle hints about the Deserter being a thing. You're constantly shown revolutionary bunkers and poo poo and they're all hidden away and Rene is like the same age if not older, come to think about it it's kinda weird we didn't meet any other old communtards but I guess the Deserter explains that away with the hunts the coalition lead to find them Mayman10 fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Nov 6, 2019 |

I've stolen the ID card from the passed out dock worker in the hotel, but I can't open the door at the top of the stairs to speak to the union boss. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to try and convince machinehead to let me in either.

Rebel Blob posted:great art This game. I don't think there is any other game out there that uses modernist/neomodernist technique like Disco Elysium. [ART COP GLASSES ON]  Volition is my favorite because of how emblematic it is. Oxford defines the word as "the faculty or power of using one's will", and few things are more associated with our actions than our hands: see how the crown can resemble the idea of one? And the crown itself is all about I am the captain of my soul here. The reason why it is a """boring""" skill is that ultimately, it represents will itself: it won't bow to anything it does not want (i.e., you want), particularly against the wills of other individuals and aspects of oneself.  Jean Vicquemaure. Looks a bit dog-ish. Look at his forehead: a permanent crease of concern. But it is easy to miss the most important thing there. Compare with this guy:  Look at the contrasts, the blacks and whites, the square and the circle. Squared halos were a thing in Early Christianity, particularly when it comes to representation of icons. Consider that Jean was your partner: he can't stop giving you poo poo because he can't conceive that his friend, his partner, his ally, is gone - your memory loss is a form of death. His "holiness" to the PC is more obfuscated as such, unlike the very evident of Kim's.  God drat this one just screams neoliberal distress so much hahaha Check out the sheer loving tension that her face is giving: no genuine smile requires so much effort.  My favorite. There is plenty of shadow play going on here: not even crab man gets as much. The contours of her face are shadowed and her eyes are deep and dark, this is a face that will not tell you things easily. The composed colors are very similar to Harry's, but strangely enough, hers are more faded out than his. Given his situation, what must have gone wrong for that to happen? [ART COP GLASSES OFF]

Y'know one other thing about Volition, is it is the only one that another skill referred to with another name (the Crownhead). Did anyone notice any of the other skills doing that? I'm gonna exclude Phys Instrument being "Coach" for this though.

All the Dockworker aligned characters have a red-white bicolour background, which could be a mix between their union red and the communard white. The mercenaries have a kind of vertical shimmering effect on them. Most notable on the helmeted guy but the others have it too.

No. Unless it could change based on spending the whole game walking instead of running, which I'm definitely not going to test.

Yellow is also the same as motorics, which is where the Ultra-liberal ideology stems from. Zikan fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Nov 6, 2019 |

It's something that can be built off of, just the Claires are something I see being a problem for making real progress past that point.

It's been said many times, but most people were way better off when unions were still criminally powerful. Edit: where in the game is it suggested that the white was a Communard color? I just interpreted it as a symbol of general purity.

The Claires are also a much more solvable problem than Wild Pines if they become one, because presently they have significantly fewer heavily armed death squads to turn on strike lines. E: Like 'Corrupt Union Boss' is way more what I'd rather be having to deal with than 'The Entire Crushing Force of International Capital'.

Red in the white/red bifold represents the union, it's also the union's color in game. What is the only thing that Evrart truly cares about? The union and it's workers, collective. Not a worker, any individual person, or even an ideology; just the organization.

Just a few comments of my own, but I'm no Art Cop. The overexposure of Bird's Nest Ray. From him, with the right checks, you can tease from him the backstory of being a volunteer radiation cleanup worker after The Revolution's nuclear pile melted down and the effects he is suffering from.   Tommy Le Homme is notable for having the most realistic style of portrait in the game, for a character is who is grounded and comfortable with themselves. Also with the plain white background, along with the Racist Lorry Driver, reflecting driver's liscenses, straight from the horse's mouth.  I literally did not notice Measurehead being in the background of Measurehead's Babe during my playthrough, just afterward when arranging these portraits. Maybe just low perception. I'd be remiss to not recommend Zaum Studio's media page which has large-res copies of some of the game art as well as concept art. If they released an art book for Disco Elysium I'd snap it up immediately.     Oh, and are you interested in how Pissf****t and gently caress the World wanted to repaint Kim's car? 'Cause there is concept art for that.

The thing about the Claires is that they are treading the path of personalism, which ultimately cannot be reconciled in any way to collectivist ideologies, and thus condemn the whole union to an inevitable downfall. Evrart truly does care, but he cares in his way, and the brothers do not accept others who can come up as leaders. Titus might have a temper and be shortsighted, but he is a true socialist to the point that he will put his neck to the line at the standoff because Harry did put his, nevermind that he is a cop. Evrart does not give a gently caress about that, which ties pretty well with the inverted flag and the yellow blemish on the red, a color often associated with corruption in literature (particularly by authors like James Joyce in Dubliners).

Oh word the cigarette smoker mentions he's "basically a therapist, without the license" in some random ambient dialogue. and he has a lot of purple worked into his portrait. I feel dumb for having pursued the "Homosexual Underground" thought, but I was kind of hoping Harry would find a broader sexuality from it. oh well.

Yeah, this is a much better way of putting my unease with Evrart. What I like about this game, though, is that you still get the sense of there being a right choice, even if every choice is still somehow imperfect. A sense you can still do your best rather than the flaws in any of the choices being treated as disqualifying.
