Everything concerning Pale and the technology that interacts with it is completely outside of current science (duh....obviously) and could easily count both as "sci-fi" and "non-earth environment".

Indeedy. Useless fact, but "the pale" in the real world referred to the English controlled and settled part of Ireland (around Dublin) around the middle ages. So when people talk about "beyond the pale" it actually means something horrific an Irish savage would do. Probably has no bearing whatsoever on Mundis, but I just think its neat. VVV: From descriptions, I didn't take the pale as a void, but as a twilight zone where up is down and cats and dogs marry each other.

Pale basically means fence palisade comes from the same etymology. The English Pale is just a way to say the areas inside England's control in Ireland

What's the best build to get the most lore from the game? I never built out Encyclopedia but I assume it would involve Intellect and Psyche, with Shivers probably too.

A strange grey nothingness that people traverse in some kind of blimp-copters, at the very real risk of getting forever lost or losing their minds into a haze of terminal nostalgy... You know, just like we do on Earth!

Yeah yeah the Pale is weird, I'm just not sure how it would fit into hiring artists to visually depict it as an alien environment. It's described as being objectively almost impossible to observe, and subjectively as a barrage of nostalgia, which is the opposite of alien. Re-reading the lore the thing that sticks out is the "number barrier", the never-explored point so deep into the pale that numbers stop working, so if our player character is going there they could go wild with reality itself breaking down. Maybe it's that.

Well, here's another article that IMO raises some pretty good points for why it might well not be some newfangled space sci fi thing. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-creator-of-disco-elysium-is-looking-for-artists-with-a-love-of-sci-fi-and-space/

gently caress the police BUT it’s been pretty fun being an actual good cop on Sherlock run with 5 motorics and intellect Got to talk to the Easter egg only available on day one, much creepier than I imagined, and I’m swimming in money off the strength of noticing every bit of loose change in the map. Also, I don’t think my build had anything to do with it, but I didn’t even know you can make the Working Class woman missing persons search an actual case she’d accept.

I cannot begin to tell you how introductory it is." This makes it seem pretty clear they aren't done with the world of Elysium. I was skeptical of a sequel but tbh the way he talks about it makes me pretty excited.

I get why they're moving to a more robust engine in the form of UE5, but I really really hope they find a way to do that without losing the art style.

Gonna be difficult to make Disco Elysium 2:Shadows of Revachol now that David Warner has passed away. But the Throne of Cuno expansion will be much anticipated.

Did Cuno's accent land for everyone else? I liked the character, but found the accent a bit jarring. Well done accent, and great lines, but just didn't feel like a fit. UK and Irish people's ears prick up over accents and can more or less tell where someones from give or take like 10 miles just from listening to them. Cuno sounded like he was plopped there and not a local kid. That's my lovely, wrong opinion anyway.

That's my lovely, wrong opinion anyway. my version of this is the black Hardy Revachol native with a southern US accent. or hell, the cryptozoologist's wife, also a native, whose accent is kind of New England iirc. or Kim, come to think of it. there's no consistency so I just sort of shrugged it off, but I imagine that there's a version of that problem for everybody. (also the main VA can't hit a lot of the French pronunciations but that didn't bother me in the least.)

I imagine Revachol to resemble Montreal in many ways, so you've got a bunch of immigrants who bring in their own accents, plus a "native" population split between anglophones and francophones. Cuno's surname being De Ruyter (iirc dutch in origin) seems to indicate that his family is among the immigrants to the area.

I miss the OG voice, and while I think it did a great job of immediately giving you the character's vibes, I think the new voice is better for a fully voiced experience.

My only query about the sequel is that DE feels like a pretty complete manifesto and that manifesto is what makes it special (otherwise it's just a trivially easy point and click adventure game). Where do you go from there?

Where do you go from there? I don't think it'll be a sequel as such - but whatever they do next will still be set in the same game world. No idea where or what genre though
