Once I've got some proper runs in I'm curious to see how that plays out. it won’t get you to 6/6/6/6 but Goracy’s Magic Borsch booze will permanently raise your Physique by however many doses it has when you pick it up, with the doses based on your electrochemistry at the time of pick up. It doesn’t fade after an hour like regular alcohol. I’m not sure if this is meant to be like that or if it’s actually bugged. This “bug” was known before The Final Cut and is still in the game, but if you’re a fascist and have the extra strength booze perk going on, it will fade and not be permanent, which does make it seem bugged. I started with 4/3/2/3 and ended with 4/3/6/3 this way.

POWELL CURES KIDS posted:drat. Alright, thanks. Clothes won't do it. You need to either A) put a skill point into the appropriate skill, B) do some task or dialog option that gives you a bonus to the skill check (such as obtaining the ammonia in your example) or C) some thoughts will unlock white checks. For instance, the Volumetric poo poo Compressor thought will unlock all Endurance white checks.

sebzilla posted:ZA/UM need to get their poo poo together and release a physical board game of Suzerainty Just Another Soulless Euro based off of Suzerainty would be exactly the kind of heartless cash-in that is good, actually. I suspect they'd gently caress it up by adding worker vacations and all the other things you can try to do in Disco itself.

I actually never played board games with Kim  I knew it was an option and always thought I’d do it later, just never did. I say that to say that I don’t know the mechanics of Suzerainty, but the board game Scythe has some definite DE vibes and art style. It’s like Catan with combat, set in an alternate dieselpunk world. Speaking of dieselpunk, I’ve thought to myself what -punk DE falls under and I’ve decided that it’s it’s own thing: Mazutpunk!

I'm catching up on the few available scraps of whatever-the-gently caress-it-was that happened to push Kurvitz/Rostov/Hindpere out of the company, and holy gently caress, I'm aware it's been said a million times, but this is just brutally on the goddamn nose, isn't it? I will perversely acknowledge that it actually kind of makes me like the game...more. Reading about this feels like some kind of hosed up DLC. It's additional content. Pour that poo poo on me, baby.

ok so the guy I've been chatting with is asking me for help about how to get through the game but I don't want to spoil stuff for him so it's SO HARD. Been trying to just give incredibly vague advice so he can find his own path but the only specifics I've told him are that failing checks isn't the end of the world and is just a detour to finding a different solution, keep the tie on and then after he met Morrell to not shower. Even just giving super vague hints on gameplay makes me feel like I'm cheating him out of experiencing cool poo poo somehow. He's asked a couple times if he's missed anything fun and I've just had to poker face it and go "eh, it's not the kind of game you ever get 100% on" while internally wailing in dismay at how he's missed out on absurd poo poo like hiding the body in the bear fridge then stealing the boots in the middle of the night deal. He's loving the writing and whole experience so at least there's that. Getting other people into this game has been a delight but it's also kinda maddening that there are so many ways it can go that any discussion about stuff just feels like one big spoiler.

I've played the game three times and I have never stolen the boots.  I don't think you should sweat over individual things like that.

A couple of things like finishing the church quest and getting the boots is pretty hard to figure out (and not mess up the timing) on a first playthrough but it makes a second playthrough way better.

Yeah, the thought cabinet is always there. It's not unusual to find other thoughts first.

My first run through I just sent the body off with Kim after my first run through the autopsy because I thought I'd covered everything, had no idea about the bullet and so had no chance to get the boots.

Xander77 posted:How? Seriously, how? It can be easy to miss the next thing to do with the church quest (some of the checks are also kind of brutal, but that's just a personal savescumming choice in the end.) I had a bunch of trouble triggering the conversation in the church and finding the password just because of not checking everything, or asking obvious people obvious questions. OTOH, not finishing the stuff with the church because your detective isn't that kind of guy, is also a thing. So I'm always torn on if to advise anything for Disco Elysium other than, make saves in case of bugging out, try to accept failures, and explaining how healing and skillpoints/whitechecks work.

I wasn't told about the boots, maybe because of this: sebzilla posted:My first run through I just sent the body off with Kim after my first run through the autopsy because I thought I'd covered everything, had no idea about the bullet and so had no chance to get the boots. I also failed the lorry driver mystery, it can't be completed if the investigation progresses past a certain point. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Oct 28, 2022 |

What I tell friends is 1) first time playing, set your physical stat to 1 and reach for the tie immediately 2) don't skip the crytpid side quest.

Does it still not save after the intro and force you to recreate your character if you die reaching for your tie? The first time I played that kind of pissed me off because I didn't even remember what stats I chose so I lost whatever that playthrough would have been. It would have been funnier if I could have reloaded back in the same room again instead of feeling like it just wasted my time.

If your guy dies trying to get his tie off the fan, it's a complete narrative arc wholly appropriate to the guy you made. You didn't lose what that playthrough would've been, you just completed the playthrough.

You didn't lose what that playthrough would've been, you just completed the playthrough. Did not experience fan death until my third restart--which is something I really, really need to train myself out of, since I keep forgetting what game I'm playing--and apart from Measurehead becoming my race mentor I thus far consider it the definitive Disco Elysium experience. Failure really is your best friend. Speaking of my desire to avoid failure at all costs: How the gently caress does a man make enough money by the end of the first day to stop Kim selling his spinners for you? My only binding principles are that capitalism must be destroyed and the lieutenant's well-being is sacred. I just want my buddy to have his stupid gearhead junk and be happy. I can get Garte down to 60 bucks but that's still a tall order off recycling bottles.
