Savour Faire is interesting because while inland empire and shivers may ask you to attempt things that are not really possible, they can actually manage to do.. something. Even if it's not real. Savour Faire on the other hand actively tells you to do physically impossible feats that you cannot possibly perform and then blatantly lies to you that you did them.

Whilst I know that Rhetoric is the one used for Communism, I think that Volition may have a part to play in it Volition tells you that you should persue Communism when all your skills go "meh" *precisely* because it's failed in the past and is doomed to fail. You should try because it's impossible.

Despite owning the game since like a few months after release I finally started playing, thanks to that AI image bot stuff going around and some discussion of the game on a discord I frequent. Game's fantastic. I'm not far in the game at all (About 8pm on the first day) but I'm already captivated by it. As an anarchist I appreciate "they were killed so bad most people forgot they were there" line concerning the anarchists during the Revolution. Game got some genuine reactions out of me, mostly laughs. The failures are as entertaining as the successes and it's real Lucasarts adventure game "try everything to see the funny dialogue" kind of energy that I'm really behind.

Reaction Speed is the "oh, one more thing..." skill so yeah (though I had terrible Motorics and the only time it actually did the thing was in the first meeting with Klaasje). Empathy might help, and also Encyclopedia to keep a tidy archive of all the trivia bits your wife/nephew/barber/cousin casually told you the other day and just so happen to be vital information now.

Somebody think of the Romans e: Serious response: I'm guessing the racism in question is probably in the depiction of African cultures. It's been a long time since I read any Asterix so I don't actually remember but I could easily imagine something written by a western culture in the 60s and 70s being mildly racist at best which is obviously poo poo Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Jun 10, 2022 |

It's half the books, the other half is is village or gaul tour shenannigans or wacky new roman threat. One moment dealing with becoming forced tourist hotspot or Normand invasion, the other traveling to Spain or Corsica.

With 143 passive checks, 4 white checks, and only 2 red checks, it's the second-least used skill in the game. And the actually least-used skill, Hand-Eye Coordination, has the most red checks of any skill, and obviously comes up at some pretty critical parts of the game.

Anyone feel the voice over's changed in one of the recent update? I was watching some recent playthrough and feels some of the line are delivered differently from what I remembered. Jean from what I remembered always snaps at Harry because he can't take Harry's poo poo anymore, but in the playthrough I am watching now he sounds more depressed in his delivery.

Hand-eye coordination is used the least by far, but when you need it, man do you need it.

Hand-eye is critical at one point if you're following the Inland Empire tie quest. High or low, either way. But it will be critical.

Yeah I noticed this specifically with Jean and Titus when I did my last playthrough to get the jacket achievement with Kim. Like they've definitely gone back and changed some lines *again* after the big voice update.
