What happens if you give a fake boots serial number to the radio operator...I would try myself but it requires 2 days of waiting.

Verviticus posted:no other white check except the shivers one is as plot-critical and the shivers check you can get literally +18 to it it does give you plenty of help in re-trying that check as well. you can get the ammonia which gives a +1, and you can also get a +1 if you talk to Cuno after you vomit, ask for advice, and he goes life coach on ya and helps you turn your weaknesses into strength if you can pass a passive conceptualization roll. if you still fail and throw up the second time, you get the thought Volumetric poo poo Compressor which when internalized re-opens your white endurance checks, increases your endurance cap to 4, and gives you a +6 to the vomit roll. at 1 endurance with both Volumetric poo poo Compressor and Cunofied Nonvomitor, I had a 72% chance to succeed the roll.

GulagDolls posted:What happens if you give a fake boots serial number to the radio operator...I would try myself but it requires 2 days of waiting. in my continuing quest to see every single line of content this game has to offer - I wrote down the fake number at the crime scene, gave that number to Alice, and then had a short but enlightening conversation with her about how the number was obviously not a serial number but its first 8 digits matched a series of paintings by a fella named Tobias Pren, who recently hanged himself. I went back and did it giving her the fake number you just make up on the spot, and the first 10 digits matched a custom baby stroller, and you can tell her this info was important to the investigation for a morale boost and a line from Drama about how this was good training for when you'll need to lie to save yourself later. Verviticus posted:ah ok that makes sense. i guess you could probably also technically beat the game and leave the body up there i wonder how ellis likes that on my second playthrough, i forgot to take the body down until late day 6 because i was side questing and boy it sure made interrogating Klaasje a little bit fuckin' awkward. everyone also made references to what a gently caress-up i was, constantly, since it was still hanging there. and so things can still progress with Titus even if the body is up. gonna do a full failcop run and see if its possible to leave it up for the whole dang game Aye Doc fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Nov 24, 2019 |

I got this late last week and honestly haven't read through the thread past page 1; I'm avoiding the spoiler minefield because this game is just loving exquisitely written and I'm playing as blindly as possible, just having reached the island and gotten a confession from Iosef Dros - plus the whole Insulindian phasmid thing. I'm just here to say that, five days past my divorce and having found myself in the path of one too many rough nights in the last few months, this game's take on Harry and Dora's respective approaches post-breakup is really poignantly written. When people said this could supplant Planescape:Torment in the writing department, they weren't kidding. The writers either have some pretty intimate, first-hand knowledge of rock-bottom or they do a great job of expressing it to the player. I almost don't want to finish it, but then I do want to complete the playthrough so that I can switch up from being recovered, sober communist boring cop to substance-abusing, perpetually intoxicated hobocop just so that I can see how the writing changes. e:oh hey, how about that I was literally five minutes from finishing the game ElectricSheep fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Nov 24, 2019 |

so I know some people earlier were wondering if there was anyone who warns you about the third mercenary - well if you make it to Ruby's hideout without actually knowing dick all about the tribunal, she warns you it's happening and that a third merc has just arrived in town for it. and you totally can just finish the game with the body still hanging up, but sadly it didn't change much dialogue. there was one line and it was really just changing from a past-tense "man who was hanging" to present tense "man who is hanging."

If I ever start a new game, I will go full failcop. 1 in every stat and no clothing. Might need a lot of health and morale boosters.

anyone else run into the bug where you cannot open Gary's door for the Evrart quest, after completing the Cryptozoologists quest? I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet, saw some articles saying you could exit the game and re-launch and then the door would let you interact with it, and other articles saying the quest should auto-fail, but currently that isn't happening and I have no additional dialogue with Evrart I'd rather not re-do 10+ hours of gameplay since my last save-game where Gary isn't at home, so at this point I'm trying to do some save-game editing, but if there's an easier solution I'd love to hear it

Bad news is you're kinda hosed good news is you ddont need to do that for most of the real juicy endgame content. And there is a way around not doing it for the content that uses it anyway so don't lose hope! Just exhaust all other options ans keep your necktie close

Christ, it takes SO MUCH work to make your cop buddies not take you back. Unless I'm mistaken, having either Kim or Cuno along is pretty much an automatic acceptance just on the strength of their testimony. Even if you go in alone, just getting the motive from the killer is enough to be accepted.

CottonWolf posted:I also made that mistake. Never shave. Unshaved with no expression is top tier, shaved with the expression still on is bottom. Edit: Unshaved, no expression: You're mannered, absurd, stuck in the past. But you're also committed, serious, a cop in the best sense of the word. You're not a clown. Shaved, no expression: Welcome to the wasteland of reality. You're unflinching, but probably just replacing obsession and (narco)mania with depression and despair. Unshaved, keep the expression: You're a clown. You know it, everyone who meets you knows it. What they don't know is you're also a cop, and you can use your pathetic appearance to downplay what you're trying to accomplish until you pull it off, again. Never look in the mirror: Look in the mirror, you coward. Not acknowledging the furies doesn't give you power over them, it gives them power over you. Shaved, keep the expression: Oh no. Oh dear god. What... what is that thing? What have you done? There might not be any coming back from this. The best you can hope for is making it through this one case before you, your co-workers, or a random Jamrock thug puts you out of your misery.

I somehow feel like I played the game wrong the first time through. I just couldn't bring myself to not put skills in off-skills when I saw white checks I couldn't pass, and neither could I stop treating thoughts as pokemon. I ended up being a sad superstar apocalyptic commie cop. I kind of want to do another run, but I'm unsure I can be mean to Kim or really get into race sience.

I wish there was an option during the tribunal to play dumb and keep calling them scabs. Light him on fire and yell that what he gets for being a scab.
