POWELL CURES KIDS posted: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. Find a rich person willing to make a donation. Joyce will write you a check for the exact amount you owe to Garte for your first day (100 minimum I think, so if you got Garte down to 60 you're ahead) if you successfully ask her for money

Alright, I've had bad luck with skill checks on that front but I'll keep spinning the charity wheel. I feel weirdly compelled to hold on to postcards and handkerchiefs and poo poo, so nickel-and-diming it at the pawnshop isn't an appealing option anyways. Thanks!

Pay off the room and sell the rims the next day.. It's the Estonian entrepreneur way.

sometimes I’ll be having a relatively normal day and then I think of the goon who wrote a 2500+ word primer on how to play disco elysium for his I think sister-in-law that he had to browbeat into trying the game in the first place. I haven’t even read past the first sentence of the aforementioned post but it intrudes upon my consciousness nevertheless

What's everyone's take on getting the signatures for Evrart? I explored around in my first game and decided to get bogus signatures cause there is a nice community there and the youth already got a drug free place to hang out and be active (GYM TEACHER COP) AND BE THE THOUGHT e; Also not lost on me that the anomaly in the church is literally Despair. [Pretend I know enough about Persona games to post a relevant meme here] The church was built to contain the anomaly and like Noid's analogy of the church being a carcass that no longer nourishes, in it's place is their club that keeps the anomaly from destroying us all. Very HARDCORE. MariusLecter fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Oct 29, 2022 |

I feel bad when I accidentally save-scum by getting a game over after a check because I forgot to F5. Like, tonight I failed one, wandered off with 1 morale and no magnesium after the store was closed, died from jerking off in public, and hit the check on a reload.

She's been hanging out with their art collective since she was a teenager, AFAIR. The actual making of the game came later.

Lena's lateral move from cryptozoology into surprise race science kinda threw cryptids into a different light for me. Suppressed my desire to tease Kim about being from a different species, since it's always hard to tell how sarcasm is gonna translate from the available options, but it's an interesting aside. They really did haul off and write just about every character, didn't they? Regarding the racist lorry driver: Am I just not trying hard enough, or is there really no option to pop this dude in the jaw? It seems a bit perverse that I'd be able to brutalize children and spinkick Racist Bigfoot but not even get the chance to feed this dude his own fash-flavored footwear. I feel like half of the questions I ask in this thread are about when I get to hurt people--looking directly at you, "Scab Leader"--but in my defense, if I can't misappropriate the powers afforded to me as an officer of the law to settle personal grudges, why do I even have them?

Got thoroughly cajoled into playing this game by half my family, and really enjoyed it. I've never been so disappointed in myself in a computer game as when I accidentally said a racist thing to Kim, trying to make him dance Other than that, I felt the process of passing skill checks got a bit dull towards the end, because I would just walk up to the NPCs, dress up in whatever clothes optimise skill x, do the check. If it fails, I just level up the skill with the points I've banked due to not really needing them for anything, and try again. If I were to play through knowing what I know now, I'd just play through without trying to ace them all, just letting what happens happen.

Have you tried talking to him about the drug trafficking with Kim around? You can really make him have a bad time following Kim's lead. Oh god, when you're waiting with Kim for the motor carriage to melt out of the ice you have the option to ask if his dad is also, "you know *point at eyes*". Harry stop, you're drunk.

MariusLecter posted:Have you tried talking to him about the drug trafficking with Kim around? You can really make him have a bad time following Kim's lead. I remember freaking him out with the Madre stuff and maybe roughing him up a little, but nothing near the level of aggression that you can use with Cuno or Measurehead. My expectations for Frenzied Thug Cop Harry might've been set a bit high by his case files. Harry using a clipboard to cripple some poor guy made me think I was gonna be slamming the brakes and hiding the prybar every time someone held too much eye contact. Instead, I am reduced to watching, woebegone, as chubby racists humiliate me by refusing to share their cigarettes. I'm certainly not saying it's a bad thing the game doesn't give me free reign to uncork wanton police brutality...but the number of unpunched bastards on Martinaise begs for correction, and it feels like I'm falling well short of the amount of violence I could be misdirecting in lieu of confronting my emotions. Why isn't this cop more goddamn American? E: Actually, I suppose self-inflicted gunshot injuries and letting fascists slide is fairly in keeping with my domestic notions of peacekeeping.

Absolutely not. Make the character you want and then enjoy the ride. Don’t listen to any advice that says you must choose certain options in the game. Don’t save scum and enjoy the ride.

Nope, do what you like and ride it to the end It *might* be helpful to not have any stat at 1 for your first run just to keep your survivability up a bit, but really it's fine as soon as you start finding or buying meds.
