So apparently I finished my first run in about 20 hours, found the killer and proof with the giant bug, and was proclaimed to be a GIANT FASCIST by Kim. Then the other officers stopped giving me poo poo and realized I actually solved what I was supposed to solve. Then the credits rolled. I feel like there should or could have been one more major task to do, like actually finding a licensed physician in the city to heal the killer, then do one more interrogation, then bring the killer with me until I ran into the other officers. Is there? Was there? I dunno. I didn't think the ending was bad just that there could maybe have been one more thing before "talk to dude, talk to bug, go back, sudden on-the-spot roasting and explanation, credits roll as everybody finally goes home." (in my case at least) But this also means I am eligible to doing a new run doing and saying different things with arguably even more drugs

(in my case at least) yeah, if you didn't perform the optional task resting on the island for a bit you miss a significant part of the threads the finale ties up. but if you did, well, that's just another excuse to play through again!

My character managed to say a lot of fascist and antifascist things, and Kim was impressed that he held both ideologies.

I did, I didn't nap on the island because I was going to turn my poo poo around and be a SUPERCOP after the Tribunal, which to me was the climax. Kaysette posted:it's kind of hosed up that you can miss that. that and the bug were the main endings for my harry and, as someone here put it, the part after the boat ride was more like an epilogue. I agree with this and I can see how it's anticlimactic. There are two endings kind of, one for the main story involving Revachol and the rest is a coda about Harry. The Tribunal is really, really good though and it very much seems like IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how viable is a second run consisting of being a colossal communist hobocop getting into very loud and disturbingly drawn out and detailed arguments with everything and anything with maybe even more drugs involved?

Actually did my first playthrough without doing any drugs at all, which Kim comments on at the end. Though I didn't get the going sober thought or any of the political ones. (still was a giant communist though) Apparently you can get Waste Land of Reality from Measurehead? Not sure what options though.

One of the best parts of this game is first saying to Kim that "I heard drugs make you a really good detective..." And then finding out for yourself that they really do make you a better detective lol.

I smoked 1 cigarette my whole run and at the end Kim comments that I am constantly smoking which is a bit of a petty bitch move on his part but I let it slide.

You can get it from him or the guy in the church, I think in both cases it comes up when you get them talking about the evils of "al-ghul".

Tbh one of the things I've been most disappointed with in this game, and there has been quite a few things, is how little the protagonist's inner demons seem to affect gameplay. I'm told that I'm a drug addicted, chain smoking alcoholic but it all feels like lip service. In the early hours of the game I thought I was going to play as a wild party monster, but it turns out there is almost no incentive to do so. At this point in the game I feel like my character's reputation is completely at odds with his actions and it wasn't even a choice I consciously made. I just kind of forgot that things like drinking and smoking were even a buff/debuff, option because it's almost never actually a carrot on a stick that hangs in front of you. It's just some barely relevant mechanic hanging in the background.

You wake up and get a big lump of text about how bad your comedown/hangover/withdrawal is and then merrily sprint around town for the next 18 hours making incredibly astute deductions.

I think a lot of it is that the protagonist is still coming off such a legendary bender that using drugs comes off to any observer as effortlessly slipping into old habits. (especially since you're technically doing them on the job) Even suggested that you running around is because of the speed still in your system.
