When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

Oh god, is he going to draw a fancomic of D.E. decrying communism?

I finally got around to getting this. I'm stuck in character creation because I kind of want to make an average person character and set everything to 3. Would I be loving myself down the line if I did that? Is this one of those games where average is actually bad?

Stats don't really determine much beyond what sort of dialogue you get, it's not like an RPG. There's even an achievement for being extremely boring and normal! I would recommend picking a kind of just normal guy and building that, like "can't stop talking about music" guy or meathead. Harry isn't a blank canvas and he's never going to be like, NORMAL normal so best to build around that

Don't worry about stats, play the character you want to play.

The most important thing about Disco Elysium is to try not to overthink things.

Unless you're roleplaying a detective who overthinks things.

The only stat you should maximize in any run is Half Light.

The reasons become incredibly self-sufficient and apparent very quickly.

Only time you should overthink Disco Elysium is if you're gunning for achievements. Otherwise, just embrace failure because failure doesn't mean you won't be rewarded.

Even picking one of the builds at the start of the game is fine. Just jump in and see what happens.

That's pretty much it. Your signature skill choice can be commented on by others in certain instance, but it's very rare.

yeah i kept him like this for a long time in my most recent playthrough, i was experimenting to see if you get a different photo if you wait until you find your badge. You don't, Harry's portrait only changes when you look in the mirror.
