Is there a point of no return? I just spent the majority of Day 3 exploring the areas and tasks that open up across the canal and feel like its not possible to explore all of these side quests and have enough time to complete the murder investigation.

Yes. It is relatively explicit. I think Tutorial Agent even pipes up to say "You won't be able to do things with X and Y after this". Also it's behind a couple of checks that are mostly Have You Done Enough Sidequests. EDIT : And as the next poster says, time is not an explicit issue.

Kim will explicitly tell you when you're about to go into the point of no return.

Animal-Mother posted:Why is the Cape of Good Hope so hard to get around, anyway? Can't you just stay within sight of land? Do South African fishermen and people swimming at the beach routinely get swept away into an Antarctic vortex? There’s an old game for the SNES called uncharted waters. If that game taught me anything it’s once you get far south of Africa the wind and currents become difficult and potentially deadly. You’ll need a carrack to safely get around Africa and into India.

The 4 part Phasmid questline finished after I refilled the last trap and talked to the wheelchair lady one last time before she left the city. Never actually found a Phasmid. Will it pick back up at some point, or did I miss finding something?

If it's day 2, there is no place, you're softlocked. Day 3 and after there's a place to sleep that's free of charge and always open. Edit: Oh, it's day 1. Yeah sorry, you're gonna have to reload and pay before 9pm. Tarezax fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Jan 12, 2020 |

A bunch of options in Disco Elysium remind me of a GDC talk about evil options in RPGs and how they often aren't there to be taken, but to be turned down. (Which is also why bunch of games have being evil being kinda boring.)

Tylana posted:Also, if you didn't (I don't know if you get forced to) have a nap in the room in the place you visit after a boat ride. Thanks for this, I didn't sleep because I was assuming I was on a time limit or something. Now as for what I saw, I'm pretty sure that this isn't Dolores and this is the "ex" that keeps coming up, it seemed that way in the conversation at least. I also edited my save before the phasmid encounter so I had high Electrochemistry and even when I "succeeded" in a roll it gave me an "Inevitable failure" anyway? So what exactly do I need to do with the phasmid? It seemed like I was real far behind on attributes near the end. Another poster said they maxed out everything and had points to spare. It was like the complete opposite for me, I had so many extra slots available and so many points I needed to fill near the end for certain checks I never felt like I had close to enough (most of my checks were below 50% on a pass rate near the end except for a few like empathy/suggestion) As much as it would be nice to figure out the whole church thing and experience it myself, I'm definitely not playing through it again to find out, it would just feel more like a chore to me and not at all like playing through the first time. So I'd be totally fine if someone could give me a rundown of it just for curiosity's sake.

So the first time I did the Tribunal fight, I failed it almost as hard as you possibly can. I was just absolutely terrible. It's been a while so I might be remembering it wrong, but wow. I tried to shoot first, missed the shot, tried to shoot again, missed, didn't dodge, I think? Got shot. Everything was going dark. Kim was cradling Harry, and Harry was begging for forgiveness, for making the whole amnesia thing up. He couldn't handle living as himself anymore and just desperately needed to be anything but himself. Kim, of course, knew all this the whole time. Kim warming up to Harry's memory loss isn't because Harry is convincing Kim. It's because, at least late game, Kim realizes this is what Harry needs. Harry survives, and the next morning, Kim goes back to pretending Harry has lost his memory.

It's there and its available to purchase, thus it must be purchased. How can you not be the least bit curious what it does? Unironically, one of my favorite parts so far has been trying to get into the armory and having Kim tell me to just accept the fact that I wont be able to open every door.

(Which is also why bunch of games have being evil being kinda boring.) I'd say that the way RPGs are usually power fantasies extends to evil options, which convey that the player is 'powerful' or 'sexy'. What I love with how DE presents 'morality' is by stripping away the power fantasy aspect of it regardless of what you do. 'Good' Harry can't be Superman and neatly resolve everything, most of what he can do involves self-improvement or helping people in smaller, personal ways. 'Evil' Harry is a little man ranting about women and immigrants on Reddit. 'Neutral' Harry is mocked for not taking a stance, and it's usually pointed out that this is also a consequential choice.

(Which is also why bunch of games have being evil being kinda boring.) Undertale as mentioned is the one RPG I can think of that does evil without it being mustache twirling cartoonish. There’s a point in undertale if you want to go fully down the evil road you have to commit to attacking and killing a kid...(you are stopped at the last second but the player wouldn’t know that was going to happen). It’s the only time I’ve ever hesitated in a game and I felt icky for doing it. YES TOBY I am a monster for wanting to see all of a game’s content. Bottom line playing a real psychopath should not be fun but make a normal person very uneasy. DE lets you be corrupt but not evil.
