If there's one thing I'd change mechanically about the game, it would be to give a 100% Overwhelming Success success status to checks you pass by a mile, which would stop the Feld problem altogether and avoid ruining plot critical moments you've been building your character towards the entire game, like sliding Kim the gun and communing with the Phasmid

Each thought cabinet slot costs the exact same as leveling up one of your stats. The upside of this is that thoughts sometimes have powerful bonuses that are far more valuable than stat+1 (and some even generate more experience for you). The downside is that unless you’ve looked it up you don’t know what exactly the bonus is going to be. I picked without knowing the effects and overall would say it was more beneficial than dumping it into stats but you may not like the blind bonus aspect. Edit: should refresh the page before posting

Rolling double sixes on a difficult roll makes for a good story; rolling snake eyes when it should have been a cakewalk just wastes your time.

I'd probably do a stealth fudge that removes crit failures on white checks already tried once. But I think crit failing a red check is sometimes pretty neat. (I mean a stealth fudge that boosts retried white rolls would itself probably be a good idea)

Endgame question: Does the phasmid always appear on the island? If it does, what the hell does Harry think if he hasn't found out about it from the cryptozoologists A non-spoilery question: I put pretty much all my points into intellect and psyche skills for my first playthrough. If I go for physique and motorics, as well as internalising different thoughts for a second playthrough - does this lead to a lot of the dialogue being very different? As different as a second playthrough of Alpha Protocol could be, by way of comparison?

Danger - Octopus! posted:Endgame question: yes and Harry immediately realizes it is beautiful and wonderful, he knows something amazing is about to happen, and then the phasmid flies off since you don't have the pheromones on you and the dialogue options you can choose represented my feelings of god why no pretty well, I'd say quote:A non-spoilery question: I think it is a pretty drastic difference to play through the game again with a focus on the stats you didn't do the first time. I thought I had been very thorough on my int/psyche cop and had done all the quests, but my fys/fys/more fys guy ended up doing a few that were new to me. then my motorics/fys guy blew my mind with all kinds of little dialogue stuff, like finding out your first name is Harry, when you talk to Klaasje in the intro, because you pass a reaction speed roll and Reaction Speed calls you Harry. its been so long since I did all my Alpha Protocol playthroughs that I don't think I can make a good comparison there, but all 3 of my Disco playthroughs ended up very satisfying and felt fresh all the way through by focusing on different stats each time

Like the broad strokes of the game are of course going to be the same, but it's a profoundly hard game to talk about people with spoiler-wise because there are things some people will find out in minutes that others might miss the entire game, and it's like....what can you do with that?

and if you really want to do a second playthrough and have it be way different... do a bunch of poo poo without Kim. you can get plenty of solo time by doing the field autopsy super early in a day, and if you want another day without him later, wake up bright and early and walk over to Klaasje's and arrest her!

You aren't missing anything, especially if you're still earlyish daywise. I do wish that particular objective was a bit clearer, because I did they exact same thing.

It's poorly worded, and not on the main map. You find can find it after advancing the plot to a point that opens up a new area on the boardwalk. E:fb

Along the lines of "what does honor do", I took Kingdom of Conscience and got the Intersoliary Trousers that give +1 to that. I would assume the trousers are just a gag that never comes up in game but with this game you never know.

The clothes and similar ones like it just act as an extra +1 chosen conversation response for the threshold of triggering those thoughts.

so has anyone else noted that the dialogue screen is a spooling reel of tape that has the label 'FELD PLAYBACK DEVICE' along the margins? we are playing Disco Elysium on the Feld Playback Experiment e: here is a screenshot in which it is clearly visible:  The label is both on the tape itself and on the printer the tape is feeding out of Mister Bates fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Nov 28, 2019 |

You have no idea. I actually have a hard time playing this game because the writing is so good. I want to go back and reread bits as if it were a book but I can’t even if I reload things can turn out differently. Really stunned by what a good job the devs have done.

So... I sat in a chair, a normal chair, took damage somehow and died (the chair was "uncomfortable" I guess?). And my last save was several hours ago. gently caress this.

Iron beats wood, better luck next time making a character with an rear end of iron... ... or just be ever so slightly quicker with the healing items, since you can use one to stay alive when taking damage that would be fatal otherwise.

If it's the chair I think you mean, I got dialogue when I was offered a seat telling me just how uncomfortable and painful it looked but that might have been due to a skill check.
