The funny thing is that the balcony shoe was the one I DID have. I just did a really poor job of looking around the hotel room at the beginning of the game, so I was walking around for 5 hours with one shoe and no shirt.

That's just good roleplaying. Get wasted tonight and keep playing tomorrow with a massive hangover. I admire your dedication.

Follow up on you other leads (and maybe get some help getting the body down) found new side stories to pursue, talk to people about the case and the world, etc. Theres some people that didnt get the body down until like....day 5 of their first run.

Wandering around town in a stupor while loving up while wearing just a single shoe on is possibly the most canon energy you can bring to the table.

Yeah walking all over the city with one shoe and a blazer with no shirt on underneath felt thematically appropriate enough I never really questioned it lol. It took 5 hours before I was like “where’s my drat shoe anyways”. Then I found the shirt and the tie as well and was like ohhh “so I wasn’t meant to be playing this game half naked the whole time”

Now 2) I will accept is actually thematically incredibly appropriate for the game, but as a gameplay mechanic it's awful and this would make it far worse.

Alchenar posted:No, if the game has 2 big flaws it's: Have to disagree with you there Boring Cop. I think a point the game drives home is that it's the journey not the destination. If they tried to have some form of fast travel you would not soak in the scenery or music and some immersion would be lost. This is a game that is meant to be savoured, not devoured.

I've thought about this a lot over two playthroughs and I think I would like "one-click travel" where I can click on a location and it just auto-navigates HdB to it so I don't have to click or push buttons. That way you get the journey without my wrist getting tired

No, savouring the game is fine, but by day 3-4 it taking five minutes along with a mandatory intermediate scene transition to go have a chat with Evart is not great. (The Police Car, outside Everett's office, The Village across the canal. That's all the fast travel nodes you need and would cut out 75% of the pointless shuffling back and forth).

I’m about to play this for the first time, at the urging of friends who know my abiding love for Planescape: Torment and games that are essentially just excuses to read interesting walls of text. Is there anything I should know going into it to get as much out of the game as possible, in the way that we tell people new to Planescape to max their INT/WIS/CHA to get very important dialogue options which they would otherwise be locked out of? Apologies if this has been asked a thousand times, the spoiler minefield has me skittish.

All of the stats are important and meaningful. You can build whatever you want and have a good experience. While it's true that none of the stats are dump stats, I'd also argue that all of the stats are dump stats in a way. 5/1/1/5 is viable, as is 1/5/5/1 as is 3/3/3/3 as is 4/2/1/5 and so forth and so forth. Higher skill levels are not always strictly better. Take Reaction Speed, for example. With a low reaction speed, you may be caught flat-footed by something and be unable to avoid it. With a moderately high reaction speed, you'll be able to react to something in time. With an extremely high reaction speed, you may begin to react to things so quickly that you don't take the time to think them through completely and thus you can lose options. This affects all the skills to some extent. Don't be afraid to boost skills up high, but don't expect it to be like D&D where 20 ranks of Diplomacy lets you talk anybody into anything. In Disco Elysium, the diplomacy 20 guy gets his nose broken because he's so incapable of understanding that the angry drunk would rather throw hands than talk things over that he doesn't even get the option to try dodging. Give failure a chance. This is not a game where failing checks locks you into the 'bad ending', and there are even times when failing a check gives you a better outcome than passing it. You're a dumpster fire that has taken human form. Some of the best stuff in this game comes from being a miserable fuckup. Embrace it. Khizan fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Sep 8, 2020 |
