I have seen other people suggest the things that happen when you fail checks are what Old Harry would have done in that situation. Unthinkingly calling Kim a slur, putting his gun in his mouth and threatening suicide because he's not getting his way, having a crying meltdown at a teenager in public, I mean the list goes on.

I’m doing a racist/facist/not touching the body run rn and it actually sucks really bad. But I want to get the worst outcome on the tribunal and just gently caress this whole thing up and see what happens

I think you can get the worst outcome easily by ignoring the quest to get your gun and letting Ruby survive... Which is what I did my first playthrough :smith:

If she dies you can take her gun. No dead Ruby, no extra gun if your didn't get your own.

If Ruby survives you don't get her gun and if you don't help out Mr. Evrart, he won't help you find your gun, so if both of those things are true, you'll be walking into the tribunal unarmed.

The Spirit Bomb is your backup, backup weapon. No gun and no flaming alcohol cocktail means you are completely defenseless against the Tribunal and are guaranteed the worst possible outcome.

I'm not sure I understand what the spirit bomb is? Basically I'm asking what the spirt quest gives you to use in the tribunal. I ended up with the hustle one but didn't see it through - I saw someone else do the full ultraliberal sidequest, but I can't imagine that networth would be very effective against the mercs. I thought the spirit bomb was just the tie+booze, not related to the political quests.

e: I think I see the issue, Im mixing up "spirit quest" with "political quest"

Spirit Bomb is more narratively satisfying since it completes the necktie's redemption arc from horrific to beautiful. Also, if you see it as a pseudo-noose on the ceiling fan, it ultimately ends up being used to save Harry.

Speaking of guns

I never got my gun back and I let Ruby go. I went into the tribunal completely unarmed.

I was shot but only injured, Kim survived. Titus and a few of the boys also died. I was honestly shocked there weren’t more casualties on my side of things.

I’ve also been playing this run with 0 clothes on. So far only a Voilition check, a shivers check, and Kim saying I needed pants has mentioned it. But I’m hoping I’ll find other payoffs for it later

It's the inverse; the Bomb is the primary weapon, and the guns are the backups.

I think that particular bit of theory is more contested than it sounds, but I maintain that it's true because it's pretty cool to think about

Is it contested? The dialogue when you investigate the sniper's nest even describes the view as being like a landscape painting. If you look carefully you can even see the exact light of Klassje's room as described in the scene.

If it isn't the island then it's directly in front of the island. What clinches it for me is that you can see the dock and the church on the left bank of the canal, but not the shuttered factory, an ommission that only makes sense if the scene is depicting the sniper's perspective and isn't just a picture of the game world. Even though I know where it should be if I'm honest I can't pick out the Whirling Rags though.

I bought DE on Steam sale a year ago but I’ve realized I never play games on my computer (MacBook) and I probably won’t get around to it. Is it better to go with Switch or PS5? I’ll probably be using headphones either way since my TV sound system isn’t great.

Edit: I guess I’m asking if the PS5 version adds enough to the experience as far as graphics (or anything else?) to make up for not being able to play in bed.

The game is extremely text heavy and all the text is displayed in a narrow column on the right hand side of the screen. I highly suspect that playing it in handheld mode would suck pretty hard because of that.

A fair amount of the technical hiccups have been ironed out. The load times are still not great but the lockups are basically cleaned up. Text size isn’t really an issue either
