When it comes to the Commercial Building it's being affected by The Pale , you can come to that conclusion in the Church quest.

I like how Disco Elysium plays with magical realism themes under the guise of you being a hosed up drunkard who lost his grip on reality.

I really like the way they play it with both the doomed commercial district and the phasmid, where at first it's all jokey playing along, but eventually you learn that the world is more fantastical than it seems. Very similar to the game in general starting of with a cynical tone before slowly revealing that it has a real heart of human compassion at its core.

With some distance I think the game's handling of tone in general is maybe the biggest achievement story wise. Even if the comedic and non-comedic elements had stayed as good as they are individually, it still would have been so easy to botch the way you get pulled between them and they interplay in lesser hands

Neuronyx posted:No, it wasn't sarcasm at all! Sorry for not being clear enough. I wasn't sure how to respond but I genuinely do find your response cool and good. Lol, all sorts of misreading going on here. I've been turning over an essay in my head about the pale and how it figures into DE's use of existentialism and was worried I was sperging out to someone who had put those pieces together already. Glad you found it useful! It also just occurred to me that the writer's considering their game modern-punk, in the modernism sense of the word and not the "contemporary" sense of the word is another reason those existentialist themes are baked in so strongly. Not sure I'm ever gonna write this thing but I'd love the thread's opinion on a title if I do - I've been calling it, in my head, "What Kind of Animal is Harry Du Bois?" Would putting the name of the protagonist in the title constitute too big a spoiler, even if I include a spoiler warning below it? Or would just hearing that name and not even knowing the context cover my rear end?

Glad you found it useful! Oh geez if I was gonna listen to someone sperging out about something, i'd pick the Pale and DE in general. For what it's worth I would LOVE to see an essay on this. Not sure how I feel about the title though. I don't think his name would be a massive spoiler or anything, but part of me thinks it doesn't fit too well in the title.

I didn't get the achievement for really getting Kim to trust me, and I'm pretty sure I did, because I got both bonuses on the Tribunal. The one that said "Kim TRULY trusts you" actually made me sob----a gaming first for me. The writing on this game is way beyond anything I've ever played.

I'm at the end of day one, just got the body down And Kim is giving me his sick rear end spinners to pawn so I can make rent and I've become sorry cop. I don't want to be sorry cop. Maybe I'll restart with a stronger character concept. Edit: so far no save scumming or anything just rolling with the punches and enjoying how it all plays out, but man "sorry cop?"

this game has a way of killdozering whatever type of character you intended to play pretty quickly, but in a way that is great because it ends up better than what you had in mind 99% of the time it's because your character didn't factor Kim in and within a day or two he becomes someone you cherish and protect so that no blows may land upon him

This is a game where playing as decently as you can feels like the right way to go, but it wouldn't mean as much if you couldn't also choose to be a total disaster or a piece of poo poo.

When Kim finally let the mask slip a bit and was like 'gently caress it hell yeah tell me about some cryptids' is when I knew we were kindred spirits

Is there ANYONE who didn't mash the thought button when Hobocop came up? I resisted being shoehorned into any other Copotypes, but Hobocop... You can't pass that up. Also pretty much ended up being more of a social worker then a police officer, which Revachol seems to really need more then anything else.

Oh my God, you can shave! I shaved! And then I had serious doubts about whether I should have shaved or not! Does shaving matter at all? I also managed to wipe the grin off my face.

And then I had serious doubts about whether I should have shaved or not! shaving and losing the expression makes you look sad and awful and dead inside keeping the chops and expression makes you look like a mid-life crisis elemental keeping the chops but losing the expression is best, you've come to terms with things but you're not throwing away all that you were, you're still human and you're still you the fogman is for cowards I'm pretty sure shaving and then keeping the expression automatically uninstalls the game and notifies the authorities
