Cry Havoc and let slip the Hogs of War

lets hang out posted:

I don't mind because I didn't see most of the screenshots people post in my own playthrough. There are a ton of interactions you just won't get in a single run no matter how thorough you are due to checks happening in the background. A huge amount of dialog you'll miss because you took conversations in a different direction.

This.

You’re not going to get everything in a single run or two or three since a lot of it comes down to rolls. There are passive checks happening all of the time in dialogues that you will not see.

yeah, if you want to almost never see a disco elysium screenshot of something before you see it in-game, you probably have to beat the game four or five times first. I'm on playthrough nine and I just saw a day 1 outcome I didn't know existed (if you pass the huge Empathy check to figure out Cuno and haven't yet found his shack, he'll tell you about it). fair enough to avoid the thread entirely for a blind playthrough, and for sure I hope no one posts unspoiled pictures of the insulindian phasmid or whatever. but a side conversation like that Speedfreaks FM shoutout - hell, that's another interaction I didn't know existed, and again, I'm past 150 hours played.

if you don’t want to read multiple paragraphs of text in a screenshot it is very easy not to

like there’s still stuff that should be spoiled if it’s posted but ordinary conversations feel like fair game

It’s from the part where you’re looking for Ruby. You speak to the twins and they start and they start repeating stuff from Speedfreaks FM that Ruby’s machine has echoed into their heads, and at that point can call the radio station from Kim’s car, and you can them to give Kim a shoutout

I had no idea this existed and would really like to trigger it but talking to the twins doesn't prompt anything of the sort. oh well

there's a MOT passive check when you first interact with Kim's car that's probably related that enables toying with the radio presets. think it's interfacing, not sure

Huh, guess I just stumbled into it? It may have been after succeeding the first shivers check on the Feld building? Possibly of my skills suggested talking to them, it’s been a few days so don’t remember exactly unfortunately.

I had no idea this was possible and I *just* wrapped up a high motorics playthrough. Granted these days I usually have high enough Shivers regardless of build to immediately pass the FELD building checks so I would never even think of going back and talking to the twins again.

Sincere question: why is this the only thread where posting screenshots of possible conversations isn't considered posting spoilers? Especially since y'all are otherwise very careful to tag spoilers?

A whole lot of people are playing this for the first time because of the ps4 version and I for one would appreciate not constantly having potential conversations spoiled

I agree with you in principle, though I mostly solve for this by ignoring all of EorayMel's posts. Just treat all the screenshots as white noise.

see that's fair but if you're that averse to potentially having a surprise or joke spoiled for you, why are you actively reading a discussion thread

like wanting to go in completely completely blind to a work is 100% valid but also incompatible with reading about it on the internet beyond throwing commentary on your playthrough into the void here (which is always welcome of course)

Just finished my first run on a Sherlock Holmes 6/1/2/3 hyper logical boring/art cop wanting to get his life back on track during the day and only boozing and singing karaoke after Kim goes to bed. Super happy to finish with Detective Cuno by my side, but have no idea how I would have talked the tribunal out of mass murder.

Now I'm ready to go running around in nothing but y fronts and horrific tie screaming at all the inanimate objects and scraping together cash for the best drugs instead of the next nights rent.

I just finished up my first playthrough, as a 2/4/4/2 sober communist cop. Electrochemistry got very pissy at me for not drinking/doing drugs as the game got into the late stages, but the absolute biggest crime it committed was making me distrust the necktie since they ALWAYS chimed in together somehow. When the time for the tie's big moment came, I killed it because I assumed it wanted me to drink and I was trying to have Raphael move on with his life. Thanks Electrochemistry :negative:

The game also acknowledges this:

That's hilarious, I've never seen this bit of dialogue, even though I had a very similar reaction to distrust the tie on my first run.

What do you mean though, when you say you killed it? I just stopped wearing it when it told me to buy the blue spirits.

I bought the spirits (with no intention of drinking them, I'm just a hoarder). After Ruby, when the necktie's BIG MOMENT comes and it asks you to open the bottle, I declined. The necktie began begging for its life, so I declined again, and it went inert.

Aaaah, so that's why I didn't see it. But yeah, I had the exact same thought that the tie was in league with Electrochemistry. I also bought the spirit, just cause the 3 real option came up so I grabbed it. But then I was thinking how I couldn't trust the tie, and when I read the new quest saying the tie was "preparing for endgame", I took it off cause I thought it was literally trying to kill me. :v:

I have a question about a fringe Cuno interaction that would take a whole playthrough to check myself: If you try and fail to shoot Cunoesse and thus the children refuse to speak to you for the rest of the game, what happens if Kim takes the fall during the Tribunal? Do you still get Assistant Kuuno, or do you have to solo it?

Have we talked about the insane Disco Elysium conversation tree mapper someone built?

https://disco-reader.gitlab.io/disco-reader/#/

You search for a word in the search engine toolbar on the left, then scroll down and hit create graph and it makes some crazy graph of skill checks and conversation forks and stuff, then you can search node and hover to see the text of a specific node.

It's how I found out the atomic bomb reveal in the church scene is a very high Half Light check actually. (588-702 if you want to see it yourself)

Please be excited.



I feel like I'm approaching a conclusion now, going into day 4. I feel bad, I started out doing everything I could to be constantly drunk, high, suicidal and sorry - but as things got more interesting I couldn't resist the urge to actually be competent and try to solve the case at a bunch of key junctures.

At least now I'm waving a bottle of vodka and my gun around everywhere I go.

How do I get good gear early on?
Besides investigating, what else should I do on day 1?
When am I gonna start concerning myself with the tribunal that I heard about?

There is a point of no return you will get a pretty clear hint about involving (trivial spoiler) a skill check you have to pass to get into a building with a big billboard

Good gear is kind of meaningless. All outfit pieces are situationally useful because they are always +something/-something
