Shame the actual model doesn't have that indistinct face too until you look in the mirror.

Is anybody else having a really good time with subsequent playthroughs driven by missing achievements? My sorry ultraliberal hussler torque dork body-avoiding playthrough has quite the personality so far.

I'm having a really hard time getting into this. I'm finding the constant interjections from my subconscious way more annoying than interesting. I haven't gotten far. I'm just up to fiddling with the corpse in the yard. Is it just a tutorial area sort of thing that will fade away eventually? It's really driving me nuts. Stop telling me what I'm feeling or thinking and just let me feel or think it!

the entire skill system is just built around which parts of your subconscious pop up to tell you things and the more you level them up the more talkative they get it's kind of the entire game i'd try to stick with it though because it really is an incredibly written game, think of them as characters in their own right, they're not telling you how to feel so much as trying to influence you towards their own individual preferences and goals, and you can ignore or indulge them as you see fit find the skills that you like and level them up exclusively and you might have a better time

Your brain interjecting is kind of this game's whole deal, but the various voices aren't necessarily an objective view of things - they all have their own agenda and will try to push you in certain ways. There's even scenarios where they'll argue with each other. They're much more like a party of individuals than one person's mind.

Oh yeah you mentioned earlier that you were going as down the middle as possible with your build. This will control how often your skills talk to you as the game is constantly making unseen passive checks to see if they'll chime in. If you go all in on a few skills it'll mean you hear from them a lot at the cost of rarely hearing from ones that you've neglected. Going down the middle will mean that in theory you'll hear a bit from all of them, which might not be what you want.

Maybe it'll be easier to get into once I get a better handle of the world and what's going on. I guess I have less tolerance for it at the moment because I'm also being lore dumped at the same time. It's just a bit too much.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: I can tell you what you're thinking, and what you're thinking is about how much you you regret picking a normal cop. A middle of the road cop. A boring cop. You're thinking about how you need to change things up. How you need some speed, some psychedelics, some alcohol. That will quiet the voices in your head, and let you just FEEL, you're sure of it. Once you've gotten all of those things, you're thinking, you can go out on the balcony and celebrate with a cigarette. That's what you're thinking.

This is one of my favorite games, but Hot Take, if you don't like the writing, the lore, and your subconscious ranting about things, this might not be the game for you. And that's okay.

As great as the actors voice is I found it really intrusive and jarring.

Where can I turn this off? All I can see is the voice over option between full/psychological/classic. Which one keeps all character voice work and normal narration but silences the different voices for his subconscious?

Psychological is just character voices. I don't think you can lose the subconscious and keep the narrator, sadly.

Idk if this is an unheard-of take, but I didn't like the inner voices' voice acting, and wish it were silent. I thought some of them sounded dumb. Now I'm reading that different builds get more or less of different voices, so maybe I just heard a lot of the "bad" ones.

I was pretty bummed to hear that all the inner voices were the same and also were the narrator. Not that the VA did a bad job or anything but I was kind of hoping for unique voices for all of them.

I guess I'm an outlier in really enjoying Lenval Brown's performance as the narrator and skills? The overacted versions don't really do anything for me and I found Lenval to be a smooth-voiced anchor in a harsh and unfriendly world. He had a couple of bum lines but I'm willing to overlook that in 350,000 words. PC Gamer did an interview with Brown and voice director Cash De Cuir which kind of sums up how I felt about it https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/we-talk-to-disco-elysiums-incredible-narrator-who-recorded-350000-words-of-dialogue-and-has-never-acted-before/ quote:There's something very intimate, almost soothing about Lenval's performance...

No, he does a fantastic job at narrating, I just think myself and others would prefer more variety for the skill voices.

The thing about brown's performance for me is, I would have never believed before hearing it that you could do such a bone dry performance of the skills so successfully. It was surprising and it gave me another perspective on how good the game's writing is, which I appreciate. For good or for ill though it is probably not the voice 99.9% of people were hearing reading out the skill text in their heads when they played before final cut

I should say that Final Cut was my first experience of the game so I have nothing to compare it to, and I can definitely understand why it might feel wrong if you'd previously had another voice in your head.

With the dude reading the skills it feels more like an audiobook reading than a performance of the characters, in a good way i guess

But I would say, I didn't like the v.a. for the tie that much. I always imagined them sounding like a sleazy Russian-accented guy (because of the liberal use of 'bratushka').
