i muted the voices after a while. it's no dig on the chapo peepos to say that they aren't professional voice actors, and also i usually mute voices in adventure games. it's a shame, though, many of the other voices were beautifully done. measurehead, my god! i should probably replay the final sequence with voices turned on, or even the whole game.

I like the voice for the noid, it feels like a tribute to Rik Nial in the young ones

I liked all the VAs but I didn’t know them prior to the game. I only listen to D&D podcasts

Doesn't really need saying but holy crap, the music in this game is so drat good. Playing through it again, this one really got me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gAdsI57kBY You can imagine someone looking out at the sea and just breaking down under the weight of everything.

I'm trying to get Waste land of reality from Tiago but I can't seem to get the thought - do I need to have used booze/drugs to get the prompt to go sober?

I just started the game and I'm stuck on the level where you grab your jacket. East of Cuno. The only places I can go are a guardhouse where I can take drugs, a room for the workers with a locked door, and a place to meet the boss. Meeting with the boss kills me if I sit in the chair (why?!) and I don't see any other options. I can not get back down to the level of Cuno.

If you have healing items you can take them during conversation to stave off death

The pluses over your health and morale are your healing items stash (also if you buy a +3 health item it just give you 3 clicks). If you have truly picked up no health items you might need to restart. Playing Detective Dies Instantly can be risky. Or speak to the Ubi guy and otherwise pass time until it's sufficently late the boss is gone but this may or may not be possible.

I'm gonna have to restart then because I do die instantly from any damage at all, did not realize this during character creation, and after realizing it did was not expecting to face a mandatory dangerous chair.

There's a fair bit of nosaphed knocking about (by the coffee machine near Garte frex) so be sure you do not have a number in that orange plus. Or you could spend a skill point on Endurance if you have one spare. Sadly I assume your Pain Threshold is also so low you can't survive a heart attack.

Found a youtube video showing the interaction - looks like I'm straight up missing a dialogue option that grants the thought - perhaps because I haven't drunk/used drugs - or maybe because of something else. Drinking doesn't make the option appear though. e: need higher Volition it seems e2: nvm, that makes the dialogue appear but I still don't get the thought JawKnee fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Jun 9, 2020 |

is there really no way to "learn" that Edward is actually Edgar? it seems like it should matter.

There should be some healing drugs in the guardhouse area on the roof that you can get to without restarting

Man, how could you mute the voices?? I mean, I can see why, but there’s like never more than a few voiced lines so I never thought about turning them off. I feel like I’d heard enough of Kim’s VA which I thought was really well done, before I heard any of the voice acting I found annoying which was mostly the Scab Leader and Titus, but by the end of the game I appreciated even their voice acting, but I think that also had a lot to do with the characters and the plot. But Kim and especially Measurehead are incredible, the video of him performing the lines is great.

Be sure to keep pressing tab while running around, it highlights clickable objects that could have healing items or other things in them. Also having a good perception stat makes them more likely to show up.

The tells include a lazy eye, I could have sworn someone said it's Edgar who has one. But forgetting it's "Evrart" and not "Edward" does make me think I shouldn't trust my memory.

Speaking of music - I've been meaning to give British Sea Power a listen after playing this an absurd amount but I'm not sure where to start. Anyone know them well and have a good album or two to jump into? I listened to a few random tracks I liked and of course "The Smallest Church in Sussex" but nothing grabbed me enough to stick it out long enough to get to know a whole album.

I live in Seattle and the area that police fled away from is now basically like crowded Martinaise -- a weird neglected pocket of society with a powerful but fractured revolutionary group & the powers of capitalism waiting and hoping it all falls apart. Pretty neat & I'm wearing my piss****** jacket every day now

From what I heard of their stuff, "Man of Aran" is probably one of the closest they have to the general vibe of DE soundtrack (Tiger King from it is even the basis for the dream theme ingame). It's mostly instrumental and pretty chill. "Let the Dancers Inherit the Party" is the newest album and probably the most "accessible", and also very good and a highlight (and again, quite a few bits and pieces from it ended up on the soundtrack). "From the Sea to the Land Beyond" is pretty good as well. Their debut, "The Decline of British Sea Power", is worth checking out as well for the punkier, harsher-sounding version of BSP.

If y’all looking for BSP, make sure to purchase the available soundtrack. It’s basically a full BDP album on its own, and the music stands up by itself. So so good.
