The fascism spirit quest can let Gary tell you about sentient time reverting mud and how Kim's race got so advanced by having their future selves give their present selves advanced technology and ancient rituals where cutting your digits off also makes you go back in time

Dinosaurs! posted:This is disappointing to hear, but thanks for saving me the frustration. I was pretty hyped to finally play this, but my only option is PS4. Hopefully it’ll be patched up soon. They were quick to acknowledge the problems, and are apparently pushing something out in the next couple days. Check in when that’s out. For what it’s worth, I refuse to play it without VO and that’s the one that screwed it up for me. I think it’s perfectly playable right now, just highly frustrating. unattended spaghetti fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Apr 2, 2021 |

It takes a skill point to add a thought to the cabinet, so you may have to level up first.

The fascism spirit quest  eventually leads you and Measurehead speaking in private about women and how he is a member of the Semen Retention Society and thus never actually ejaculates during sex. Yet also says the only point of biology is passing your genes as far as possible via as many people as possible. But not cumming is encouraged because it helps pass on spirit which is immortal, while cumming passes on flesh which is not immortal. Winning THE LOVE VICTORY And he may have been beaten by his dad [like Cuno].  And he does not at all agree with trying to return to or bring back the past, counter to Endurance's wants he is only concerned about going forward, and that the present is a living organism with many opportunities.But most importantly of all He really likes the couch  AND I HAVE TO LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR ALONE NEXT H O L E E S H I T EorayMel fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Apr 2, 2021 |

When you get a skill point you can add another thing to the knowledge cabinet, but it is very, very hard to see what's being highlighted in the thought cabinet, and when you're switching between the new slots or the thoughts.

Goddamn, now I have to start over. Spoil a bit for me can you gently caress it up by calling the video rental store? Dialing the long distance call seems obvious. Or is it just a matter of always listening to your instincts when they say - dude, better not do it? Just wouldn't want to accidentally ruin the run by clicking on some object that I'm not supposed to.

I wanna replay now that the final cut is out. on my first run i played as a depressed communist because i am unable to play another character than myself, so I wanna try something else. how well does Art Cop shake out? what i liked about playing a sad cop was that it felt very grounded and human, and i was a little afraid the sillier concepts would make the themes of the story less great.

Art Cop is great. I think it might also be one of the most powerful thoughts you can get. e: Do all the ideologies have vision quests? I might go back to an earlier save and not discard ultraliberalism in that case (I'm a great hustler). e2: How does the narrator pronounce wömen?

I switched the voice-over to the psychological setting. Everything is voiced except your skill dialogues. I think I prefer it that way as I always had a certain voice in my head for the MC and his moods.

Currently playing a psychic cop and it's is definitely a bit sillier but it also kind of works for a second playthrough since I do actually know what's going to happen. Plus high Shivers / high Inland Empire just makes for an all round super entertaining build.

It actually says so in some of the loading screens, but I would like to say that drugs actually raise your learning caps for skills, meaning that if you have a skill point and have maxed out your points for that skill you can actually raise it one further, permanently, by doing drugs that raise the relevant attribute.

Finally started a new playthrough with the final cut last night. Really like the narration (although I kind of wish it hit those little descriptive parts in-between other characters dialogue that it sometimes misses). Don't like Lena's new VA as much as the old one

Yeah the fact that the narration completely cuts out whenever anyone talks, even if it means cutting out or picking up halfway through a goddamn sentence is super weird and confusing. Also the way the narrator pronounces some words is weird as gently caress. "yoo rhine all" was especially hilarious. Is that actually how brits say that? It sounds incredibly dumb. But I'm really enjoying it. Sekenr posted:Goddamn, now I have to start over. Spoil a bit for me can you gently caress it up by calling the video rental store? Dialing the long distance call seems obvious. Or is it just a matter of always listening to your instincts when they say - dude, better not do it? Just wouldn't want to accidentally ruin the run by clicking on some object that I'm not supposed to. I don't have any clue. I was just as careful as I could be not to ever remember jack poo poo, and honestly the game acted all shocked as it listed off the many, many things, some of which I wouldn't have expected, as stuff I'd somehow completely avoided. The three I remember it listing was NOT looking at the dolores mural in the church and NOT grabbing the little figurine in the pawn shop and NOT checking inside the ledger I did it as part of my ultraliberal hustler path because honestly I see each ideology (as Harry embraces them, anyway) primarily as a personal coping method, and the ultraliberal path is definitely "distracting myself with inanities and delusions to completely avoid engaging with the world or its past on any level whatsoever in favour of building a pleasing fantasy unencumbered by all the poo poo that's happened before (but with a fundamental sense that something about the world has been incredibly unfair to me and I absolutely do NOT want to think about what it was)". My canonical Harry is definitely a fasco-communist though. A tragic past he can never regain, multiple personal reasons to hate foreigners and women, the feeling that there's no hope for the future and that better things aren't really possible because better things happened and look how it ended? The endless drinking oneself into oblivion as a result of your self-loathing. But maybe, maybe, maybe... someday, with a revolutionary act like erasing his entire memory, he can start over and build something new.

Is Moralism the hardest of the ideologies to actually get points in to trigger the thought? In my first run I triggered the three others pretty early on, but only internalized the communism (and then replaced it later because it wasn't doing me much good), don't think I got close to getting the moralism thought. Hasn't happened in the new one yet either.

I'm near the end of the first day on my final cut playthrough and haven't had it trigger yet, even though I have passed up approximately one billion dialogue options for the others. My theory is the moralist options are so bland and unassuming that the eye simply rolls right past them

Ok good. But yeah I hope the patch makes the Cabinet menu less confusing on PS4 because it took me literally 20 minutes to figure out how it worked. It's really hard to see where the "cursor" is and the game has literally no tutorials, which honestly is pretty insane considering the digital version doesn't come with a manual

Moralism is control. Over yourself and the world. Also the not really having beliefs things, it's a precise and bland tightrope balancing act.
