How do I talk to klassje after the first time? Her hotel door is locked, she doesn't answer, and I can see her smoking on the roof but can't get there.

I'm on Thursday morning and seem to have run out of tasks to do. Got something I can do in the evening but everything else I'm locked out of according to guides. Can you lock yourself out of talking to Klassje?

If you mean after the very first time in the beginning when you wake up then you just haven't gotten far along yet in your investigation.

There's no time limit, so you can't really "waste" a day. And I'm pretty sure that authority check is the way forward (and you don't necessarily have to pass it, that check in particular has ways to continue even if you fail it, I think).

Assuming that is the check I think it is, if you fail it then Kim will use his limitless authority and do it for you and youll get past it.

At 10pm I can become a full commie if that means anything, but skipping until then seems like a waste of a day? If you do fail the check, one thing I missed is there are multiple responses (the text window did not scroll down for me). Save up some skill points, save your game before blowing them all (also consider things you might do to boost your result) and after a failure or two a new option appears at the bottom. For hints on stuff that helps : Ask Evrart to tell them to play nice. Speak to the smoker in the apartments (you can talk to (some) people on balconies you can't reach). Talk to Joyce so you can a) tell Titus and his boys about the tribunal, and b) if you speak with her before finding your badge, solve the truck driver stuff and throw the result of that in Titus' face too. It's possibly to never touch the body, but you do have to actually work on the case.

So you can't buy back stuff from the pawn shop right? Seems I've hosed myself on a side story. This game has some odd game mechanic choices.

The only thing that's 'task' required I can think of off-hand is spherical. The shot putt ball, which doesn't unlock dialogue really Oh, and something from the other side of the canal. Can of heavy fuel oil. If you pawned something in the shape of a cube, it's not the one you need for the side story.

You can re-read books for time, but if you are past day 3 not much is likely to open up. Also, do your investigation. Fail at checks. Spend points to retry them. Keep some saves. And the thing you sold while it helps a few check and is fun, is not a story chain or anything. Just a small thing.

I stand by the opinion that you shouldn't make middling builds but you should treat two stats as dump stats and pump up the others. Commit to an archetype wholesale.

Wow the game just crashed on me while saving and I lost over two hours of playing time, including a critical check that was really low odds. I'm intrigued by the story but it's basically daring me to give up on it at this point. I've had way more technical issues with this game than any other, including cyberpunk. (PS5) Edit: yeah I'm done. I'm not doing all that again. I barely get two hours of playing time per week and only did today because Melbourne is in strict lockdown again. Wish I could get a refund.

its happened here too. console version is a little rickety. the auto save function is really odd too. it happens randomly? Game is still goated, but if it ran flawlessly it would just make it perfect

If you tell Evrart you don't need his help to get your gun, does that just deadend every way to get it or can you go back and beg for his help to continue down the pig quest.

I think you can go back and revisit the convo with him but he is your only way of getting it back. Thankfully you don't actually need your gun to finish the game

A while back someone had issues with being unambitious the task to collect piece(s) of a set ending because they had one so they didn't seem to be able to ask the questions to get others. But that might have just been Final Cut being weird.

Oh, this reminded me something about my playthrough. I took care to never tell that I lost my gun to the policemen at my station and yet in the very end he still asked if I had found my gun. What's up with that?

Pretty sure you can't lock yourself out of getting your gun back so don't worry about it. You're meant to fail that conversation there's really no way you can gently caress it up harder.

that scene if you refuse to sit and fail and just bumble your way through it and the conversation with the woman out front of the bookstore about her missing (?) husband are the best instances of awkward humour working in video game format. 🐐🐐🐐

I'm supposed to meet someone at 10PM to get my gun back, turned up at 10.01 cause I figured there's no way to time things exact in this game so they would be there but I can't find anyone, do I need to be in that exact spot at 9 and read a book to pass time or something
