it's buggy as gently caress, pretty sure. so far as I can tell you can travel between the church, fishing village, and plaza in front of the whirling by clicking a "TRAVEL HERE" icon on the map, when you're actually in one of those three spots. for me it becomes available for one or two uses sporadically before vanishing again, based on a pattern I can't understand

Fast travel only works when:

You're standing in the Whirling-in-Rags plaza
You're standing next to the washing woman in the village
You're standing in front of the door to the church, but not up close to it

You activate it by pressing the "travel here" buttons on the map in your journal, which you have to get from the bookstore.

I really wish they had a fast travel option to Evrart, he has a pretty big open space right before you walk into his container! It'd be perfect.

once you figure out how it works the fast travel is amazing for cutting some of the tedium out of the game but holy poo poo do they need a fast travel point inside the harbour

It's also disabled at certain points during the plot, where the game expects you to walk into a location.

I've been watching Etalyx's playthrough on Twitch, I didn't know him before but his playthrough has been really funny. Just everything going wrong, loving up rolls constantly and just trying to wing it. It's been pretty good. He snake-eyed a 92% roll and it was amazing. Just by loving up a bunch of roll he accidentally created a Monster Cop. A great first playthrough.

Finished the game a couple times right around release, definitely one of my favourite gaming experiences ever. I'm picking it back up with the final cut out and intend to do a HARDCORE run. I can't recall much of what options I went with in my last playthroughs, think I went communard hobocop who got poo poo done.

I do recall never being able to open that goddamn container in the shipping yards. I'm thinking of going a 5-3-2-2 build with Inland Empire as my special skill for this reason, so help me god that loving thing opens this time, I don't care how many things I have to level up Rhetoric to do it.

Basically for any suggestions of fun ways to play genius cop or things to consider vis a vis political quests before diving in would be appreciate.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

I've been working on my Hardcore mode, high-motorics, ignore-the-body run, and oddly I haven't noticed much of a difference between Hardcore mode and normal. Maybe the differences really are just that subtle (I think I'm noticing more 92% chances vs 97% in my previous run), but one of the stated changes was less money lying around and I haven't felt that at all.

I am, however, having a shockingly hard time earning the Boring Cop trophy. I keep saying boring noncommittal things, but it seems like none of them count!

Yeah i found it yesterday. Not sure how I missed those huge TRAVEL HERE buttons for so long but somehow I did

Not so useful as I expected, unfortunately. I thought it was something you could use from everywhere and that would be more travel points

You need to pass a fairly high (14?) passive rhetoric check to clock that La Revecholrie is laying it on thick with the praise, and to ask her why.

Started this game not long ago and really enjoying it, but have a question about progressing the story - halfway through day 4 I got to a point where Kim more-or-less told me that doing anything else would progress the story (exploring the tunnels under the building that Ruby may be hiding in) so I went off and polished off most of the remaining side quests, except for the ones that seem to relate to the main quest. Problem is, I only started the Communism vision quest just now and that requires me to come back at the end of the next day, which will mean pretty much an entire day of just killing time. Am I correct that I won’t be able to do this quest after, and if so is it worth going out of my way to do the side quest?

I haven't done the commie vision quest: does it want you to return "the next day," or "later"? the ultralib vision quest wanted me to return to a spot after doing the spoiled thing.

that said, it's easy enough to kill time reading/doing things in your ledger/the bookstore, and there's no actual time pressure, regardless of what the plot may imply. so there's no penalty to futzing around for a day. maybe even play a nice board game with Kim

if you avoid images and detailed descriptions of Dolores Dei and memories of Harry's ex for the whole game, upon sleeping in the flak tower you get this dream

World War Mammories posted:

just finished disco elysium for the sixth or maybe seventh time. pulled off the plot thread resolution I was trying to do, entirely avoiding Dora and having a peaceful final dream on the island:


I was worried that two or three mentions of Dolores Dei could have precluded it - Kim mentioned her when talking about the body's tattoos, and Joyce as well during her story of the discovery of Insulinde - but apparently not. jamais vu and the reality lowdown didn't seem to be a problem either. I never cracked open the ledger's hidden compartment nor got the jeans with the gum wrapper to avoid any odors of apricot, never entered the church or talked to andre and company, never dialed either phone, never clicked on the shelf with the book about the innocences. the dialogue with the phasmid even accounted for it:

A lack of closure is kind of the point of that part of the story. Unless you mean that you missing the dream was the problem.

This made me wonder: (after not having played it for 15+ years) how much ignorance can you maintain and still beat PST? Just imagining TNO staring into the abyss and politely saying I don't see what this has to do with me, while his happy adventure buddies bite their lips. I imagine Ravel and the core story lays it out for you explicitly, but can't remember if you need to expose all the character histories and other horrors.

I did the same and it cancelled the vision quest at the same part by progressing the story, so definitely read or play the day away to continue that if you'd like to before moving on.

gently caress me, I used up all my good rolls for finding a possible end to the world, perfecting anodic tunes and rocking the gently caress out before getting way too many people killed. What an incredible rollercoaster. Ran into repeated issues towards the end - the church bug and the finishing thoughts void bug among others - so I'm glad to see those are being fixed and can't wait to play through again.

Sufficiently kickass.
Anyone have any idea why Kim isn't offering to pawn the spinners for the cash I need to give Garte? I had to start a new game on my PS5 cause the save data wouldn't transfer, and I've been having a great deal of fun playing radically differently from usual, but now I'm at the end of day 1 and might be fuckin' stuck.

My best guess as to what may be causing this issue is I ran from Garte at the start(e) and into Lena, and as a result Garte agreed to bump what I owe him down to 100 real.. I really hope this isn't what's causing the problem, but I'm almost willing to bet it is.

I spoke to Kim when it turned 21.00 and then spoke to Garte. Did things like I usually do them and all, but then after the conversation with Garte, I'm still not getting any prompt from Kim about pawning them drat spinners.

If anyone can suggest a fix where I don't have to basically start all over, or can tell me if there's a way to come by like a hundred real after midnight, please for the love of god, do.

EDIT: FORTUNATELY, I figured it out. Had to go look in the car is all. Jesus loving Christ, I was nearly panicking because I'd been having so much fun and most my rolls were surprising me in good ways for a change. Didn't wanna have to start over.

Edit 2: lmao, I can't believe the "the man from hjelmdall is a superstar and so am I, so you should give me this tacky tshirt for free" worked. gently caress I love this game sl much

That is definitely one of the scariest concepts to me. I do know a few people who are EXTRAORDINARILY unreflective and seemingly unable to be alone. I can't help but wonder if they have this lack of inner voice.
