There are enough modifiers to pass that check even with zero shivers, but yeah you might have to break role-playing to get them all.

Yeah, you can see he’s actually beat the check but still auto loses due to rolling double ones.

I was wondering about that too - in my case I had another unused skill point that I could use to immediately try again, but otherwise the game just tells you to explore the coast more.

I was wondering more generally as well if it's possible to get stuck in the game once you only have a few quests left to do, and you need to increase a skill for each of them to pass a check. If you have no more ways of getting XP then it wouldn't be possible to progress.

I think it's still possible yeah but they patched in a lot of bonus modifiers plus an alternate route.

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).

It's because with 9 stats in everything volition will always win a battle of wills

I mean, I'm not sure whether you can softlock yourself into not completing that skill check or not, but even though there's a lot of fun content that adds modifiers to it, having only that way of progressing the main story felt weird and incongruous with the way the game played until that point. If the devs were making a thematic point about Harry with it, it completely flew past me, tbh.

But the ending is incredible and more than makes up for that little niggle.

I accepted that as the devs going 'we want you to do this sidequest content that isn't a direct line on the investigation, so we are just going to say that Harry doesn't get the idea to investigate this building until he's explored the south bank enough'

Thematically I think the idea is that the city itself is trying to tell Harry where she is, and the more intimately familiar Harry is with the city and the lives of the people who live in it, the easier it becomes for his spiritual antenna to pick up the message.

Yeah but also more practically it's Harry going 'oh this is the one building I haven't looked in, it's probably here'.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Finally trying out a 1/2/5/4 hardcore run, though I tagged authority instead of half light to really round out the fascist meathead angle of it all

I totally forgot shivers was a body skill though which is weird because its basically psychic magic, but I definitely appreciate when it pipes in more now that I'm starting with a better general idea of Revachol/all that

i went high int for my first run so i got encyclopedia piping up a lot and it was a bit much. i think those skills are better appreciated on a second+ run when you're more into the world and more interested in lore tidbits which in a contextless first run can be overwhelming

What's the alternate route? I haven't encountered that yet.

If you fail the shivers check you can try again with logic iirc and it leads you on a quest about radio waves which unlocks the shivers check again. I guess not really an alternate route but extra content if you fail it instead of just putting +1 into shivers to try again.

It's Empathy loving up that starts the Dr. Love Quest. And it does so by making Harry project his own problems on the situation. I think that's actually pretty appropriate.

Any tips for making rent? I was able to con my way to getting the 130, but with how tedious it is to collect cans, I don't think I am in for a good time if I have to collect 20 monies every day. I am assuming either money will become a lot easier to get or I will be able to find another place to stay somehow? Stressing out about being able to make rent is not my idea of a fun time.
