Grouchio posted:(lets try that again) I didn't fail many checks in my Final Cut playthrough, but for some reason I failed the Authority check here multiple times. The first time. I picked a non-gun option, which resulted in failure after the Hardie Boys accused me of wanting to organize a race rally (with Authority panicking and saying "What's going on, are you racist now? Oh please don't hold any rallies, that'll make you look really bad!"). I unlocked the check and failed it AGAIN. At that point you have the option to have an internal dialogue like "How can I trust any of these options are good after last time?" [Authority]: Look, last time we picked the wrong one, that's eliminated now so all that's left are good options. Have you tried the gun one? The gun one is really good. [Conceptualization]: It's definitely the gun one. The other options are just there to make the gun one pop. And after passing that check, but failing the rhetoric check later:  Such a perfect punchline. I love this game.

Sometimes they do give other skills a chance to mislead you though. Also Half Light is never right. It's like, it's thing. It's useful once, but it's advice is basically always wrong. Half Light is the Turning Into A Giant Snake of Disco Elysium.

I can’t remember suggestion being that wrong except for the one check near the end that’s destined to fail cause it’s a doomed endeavour anyway.

Comes up every now and again with how the show lends itself to it. Ooh, someone should do an Espirit De Corps one with 'Pick up Bart' MEASURED_HEAD is definitely doing a bit, but apparently some Indian politics can get that fringe. (Probably comes down to how from their perspective, Hitler loving with the British was a good thing for them) Flayer posted:Encyclopedia is the best. I remember triggering some history quiz and Encyclopedia is like "this is the poo poo I was made for" before proceeding to give completely useless information and failing to help answer any of the questions. I remember that one. Interesting thing is that it kinda makes sense; the book you're reading contains a lot of what's new information to you (or heavily repressed) so Encyclopedia is coming up with information that's perhaps loosely related from that prompt, but doesn't actually have the answers to the questions. Like when you're reading a nonfiction book on a topic you're loosely familiar with; there'll be concepts, places and people you might recognise, but not necessarily in the same context as presented.

As long as we're linking LP's, SuperGreatFriend (who used to post here, but doesn't anymore?) is also playing through DE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmXQAvz8c-0 And since he doesn't take the time to voice every single dialog option (for some odd reason, as voicing every dialog option is definitely a worthwhile and productive use of everyone's time), he's going through the game at a decent pace.

I introduced this game to a couple of friends and played it through again in the final cut. One has finished and was very disappointed in the ending. The Phasmid, the deserter, the 4th mercenary all of whom your detective work cannot really find anything about before the Tribunal/End of the game. That is without Shivers of course... Was an interesting take, one I didn't agree with as I was able to accept the more fantastical/political elements of the game where he wanted to roleplay as Dick loving Mullen. I asked if he learned anything positive and he said that he was just trying to live up to Contact Mike's example, so I think the game has rubbed off on him positively in some way.

Disco Elysium is less of a detective story and more of a paean to the purity of lost revolution (nothing is more beautiful than the idea which existed without the chance to fail of its own accord). Infra-communism is written to be a ridiculous theory but the basic tenet that people fervently believing in communism would make it possible seemed to me to be the real belief of the writers. The ending and the culprit reinforced that idea.

Well you can just not anything definitive the stores of weapons, the glint of the scope more than once, the check to figure out the origin of the shot, the circumstances of the previous union reps death, some of the bullet holes you can look at I mean you don’t get to know, but you do get indications that something else is going on. It not a surprise unless you miss a bunch of stuff

Catching up on the thread but I'm about to start my second playthrough and wanted some build advice. First playthrough I went 1/4/4/1 and had a good time, ended up as kind of a lovable, unhinged, violent, competent weirdo. Kinda like Nick Sax from Happy!. My next run I want to be an rear end in a top hat fascist and make everyone hate me, would that be fun if I focused on INT & MOT or should I still stick with more of the insanity of PSY & drugs?

A lot of fascist dialogue comes from Endurance passives but if you lean that way you can twist INT dialogue in that direction as well.

Fascism makes alcohol better so you *can* consider a low red score, but at the same time it is a very FYS ideology. Int/Fys is probably your best bet if you want to do the vision quest IIRC? I think there's some tricky blue checks in it. Also if you get early Art Cop that's a lot of bonus XP. I still kind of love my original 2/2/2/6 MOT build, but I did a lot of clothing and drugs.

Hobo Clown posted:Catching up on the thread but I'm about to start my second playthrough and wanted some build advice. each of the four political schools is loosely associated with a skill and its base stat: communism is rhetoric, moralism is empathy, ultraliberalism is savoir faire, and fascism is endurance. for fascists in particular the thought is, mechanically, arguably detrimental - in return for booze giving +2 fys instead of +1 you lose 1 morale every time you say something fascist. so when I did a fascist run, I did FYS and INT - I forget exactly, think it was 3-1-6-2. to me that was a compelling archetype because it had the 'natural' combination of FYS/fascism, seasoned with a little ben shapiro-style intellectual dishonesty, constructed on a stunted, barely-functional emotional core that can barely keep it together when expressing its ideology. that also gets you opportunities for uncommon things like passing the Pain Threshold check for Evrart's chair. but regardless of what I did, the most important thing is this: you can do whatever you want in life. if you want to make a clever, dexterous fascist, then by god, make a clever, dexterous fascist. the only thing I'll say that I'd call "advice" is to try out having 6 in one stat - being a total idiot savant is a good way to get something new out of a playthrough

Oh yeah I'm aware I can't really screw up the game but was curious what would be the most fun. I need more Half Light in my life and forgot that's in Physique rather than Psyche so a 3-1-6-2 run might work. The game promised me I can be a total disaster and I'm gonna make that happen!
