Was there a Shivers check for it? I only remember Inland Empire, and it was 97% for me because I had the stat pumped pretty high and I asked for the double dose of pheromones, but I did actually take a bath afterwards (I wanted to shave too but I couldn't pass the test!) I got the full conversation with it and Kim took a perfect photo so I assumed I got the best result from that. Or was it the Shivers check that depends upon the pheromones?

I don't think I'd turn down the ending where you can recruit Kim to your precinct if offered. It does feel like a pretty good culmination to his arc, one way or another. He's proven he can deal with Harry, which is a skillset in itself, at the very least.

Bismack Billabongo posted:Finished the game today. Lot of general full game thoughts below that I’m sure are no way unique to me. The game has several things I would consider endings, and I think in that light the "wrap up" at the end works fine to tie everything together with Harry's team and his immediate future. Things-I-Consider-Endings spoilers: Ending 1 is the one in the Church. Ending 2 is the conversation with the Phasmid. Ending 3 is the dream. Ending 4 is the one everyone gets with the deserter and then Harry's team.

Benagain posted:okay, do a second playthrough, do whatever else you want (seriously) but follow the cryptid plot AND make sure you take up kim's offer of a nap right before you meet the deserter Are those two things related? I did take a nap, but in the dream sequence nothing really happened. I only had one figurine and she didn't want it, but I think I did fail a test or two. Is there a 'good' resolution from that sequence? The cryptid encounter was my favourite part of the game. I thought it was a masterful inclusion, because during the earlier quest I was expecting it to show up in one of the traps or maybe somewhere on the coast randomly, but then I forgot all about it as my attention shifted to other tasks. And then right at the moment you're about to get a confession and wrap up the main plot it suddenly appears, and it's this captivating (and giant) presence which makes you forget all about the case and everything else you've done. That this creature could exist in this world is a wondrous thing, and I particularly liked being given the option to touch it because up until then all of Harry's frequent departures from reality had occurred solely within his head. I also loved how Kim finally got to share in one of his flights of fancy, except that it was real, or perhaps it was made real through the act of photographing it. Seeing that option appear on the list of choices brought a smile to my face because it meant that this experience would last longer than that fleeting moment. The act of playing the game, of navigating the dialogue trees, that desire to exhaust every option had never felt keener to me than at that point as I wanted to prolong that particular encounter as much as possible. And there was more riding on that Inland Empire test than any other in the entire game, so it was a very happy coincidence that I'd put so many points into it along the way.

It is an incredible moment in the game, and while I love that you were still enveloped by its tone, you actually missed the bulk of it. If you don't want to replay the game just to have it go differently, you can edit your save file like so (and honestly, it's worth it and I don't think there's any shame in doing it this way): Stolen from a 2-year-old Reddit post posted:In the game, open the Load menu and write down the name of the save right before you approach the phasmid. Close the game.

I did actually already have the double dose of pheromones and it did show up in the test as a bonus (I also did have a bath after getting sprayed). I had the full conversation with it - was there more than that?

drat , just finished my first replay of it since it came out. what an amazing loving game. probably the best written game of all time, and kind've makes all the other so called "well written games" look bad by comparison. normally, I hate va in games and just skip through because it's way slower than my reading speed, but they did an excellent job with all the new vas. they all fit perfectly. I was shocked, but I thought the narrator guy did very well. my 2 favorites were evrert and jean at the end. I seriously could not stop laughing during their parts, as they perfectly encapsulate evrert going along with whatever you say and jean just constantly saying the truth about you that everyone else is too awkward to say. man, what an experience, can't wait for their followup, whatever it ends up being.

Problem So you were minding your own business -- trying to get some detective work done -- when suddenly a voice emerged from within you and told you you're a wuss, a namby-pamby, a sissy and a limp jellyfish. This voice has *zero* gender-sensitivity and even less empathy for underwhelming athletic performance. Try to purposefully piss it off, see if it teaches you something. Pretend you don't know the difference between a double and a single support phase in the discipline of hammer throw. It hates that. Solution:

One of the problems with this game is I don't know how much I missed. I've done two playthroughs, once normal, once max stats, and I'm gonna do a fail-cop run now. But gently caress there's so many variables and so much text and I'm sure there are things I'll never get to see unless someone mentions it on here. I want it all.

I knew it would be different but I was surprised by how staggeringly different it was the second time. for example, I didn't learn anything about the pale the first time. the second time, boy howdy.

So I ended up restarting the game when I had no way to reset Hardy boys' rhetoric check. I met Cindy the Skull for the first time and used the "tell me your blood type" response. Immediately Kim gets mad and says "we are NOT assaulting a minor" or something. wtf? Is Cindy supposed to be a minor? also I thought it was a response to her offering to tell me her blood type or the last time she got checked for herpes or something. is this supposed to be taken as flirting or something?

Couldn’t help myself and restarted as a 2-2-4-4 cop who has revealed to Kim that he can’t remember anything but is making a point of not telling anybody else about his amnesia. I don’t know how this is going to go over. Also, esoteric question: Is there any problem in practice with taking the body down and just leaving it there? How much game can I complete without doing that?

christmas boots posted:You don’t even have to interact with the body at all This is useful knowledge for a later run. I already shot it down but stopped after that because I thought it would be funny to see how long I could go without removing it from the yard. I guess the bullet removal check will be harder this way but exciting to know it won’t gently caress up my progress.

I always thought that not interacting with the body at all was just sort of funny more than anything, but I didn’t think about how it might affect the tribunal, or does it affect the dialogue at all here? I imagine that seeing the body of their brother/friend might change the dialogue pretty significantly.

IIRC to get the achievement you're actually the one who brings it up. I might have it slightly off, but I think your former partner remarks on how you smell like a corpse and you have to pick the option that this doesn't make any sense because you didn't even touch the body.

On the other hand, the sequence where you interact with the corpse is incredible and maybe the first time where harry doesn't feel like a complete gently caress up.you do it properly and it's maybe the first time Kim respects you and hell
