In one of the post-tribunal conversations with Kim, you can get him to admit he's curious about trying amphetamines, and Kim will ask Harry sincerely how he feels amphetamines affects his performance, positively and negatively. It's implied Kim is in a lot of physical pain when he's exploring this thought, too.

I've been thinking about a fourth playthrough, and build wise I have already decided I will be only having 1 in Motorics. The rest is still in the air.

I tried a 1 Motorics run and restarted immediately after I couldn't even notice the broken window. I looked it up and found out that at 0 Perception you can't even notice doors.

At -1 perception, Harry loses all sense of object permanence, and Kim has to grudgingly play a game of peekaboo to get him up to speed.

Are there any other weird things that happen when different skills drop to 0? Given how committed the game is to making you seem like a complete maniac if you max a skill out, I'd be disappointed if they didn't have a similar range of ways for you to make your detective nonfunctional.

Yeah. I know this happens in the conversation you have with Volition about your skillset being compromised. When Volition calls out certain skills, if those skills are at zero, they will be silent. Volition will say something like, "Uhh, that's werid, I was expecting them to say something here. Anywho..." and move on.

Zero volition means you have zero morale which is a game over regardless.

At zero volition Harry just lays down in the middle of the street with his mouth open and waits for the rain to drown him.

I know all of the skill descriptions say something like this, but how does having high stats actually cash out in making you less able to relate to people? Even in games with modded 9/9/9/9 distributions and such, I haven't ever seen anything that could really be described as "negative" from high stats (except being unable to discover your true name from a failed conceptualization check, that is).

I believe high Encyclopedia will also prevent you from following your true calling as a boiadeiro.

it's mostly noticeable with the stats that are already bad influences like electrochemistry, iirc pain tolerance starts egging you on to self-harm and suicide if it's exceptionally high

ludicrously high empathy just gets you a 'wow, you must be one empathetic cop' joke during the encounter with ruby

Yeah high half light will start freaking out and going "HE'S GOT A GUN" the second it can't see someone's hands. High drama will encourage you to lie to people even when there's no point to doing so.

High Empathy also gives you a super guilt trip if you consider pressuring Tommy to roll on Ruby. Doesn’t stop it but definitely makes you feel like a total piece of poo poo.
