A few random (possibly very obvious) observations I missed on my first playthrough that I've noticed this go around:
  1. When Harry sleeps on the island and has the Dora dream, she says once it starts happening it keeps happening. When you wake up, your stats aren't restored. Harry has to drink himself to oblivion to escape the memory of Dora and that's reflected in the game mechanics :smith:
  2. The Deserter is very much a darker or potential future version of Harry; where Harry is torn apart by sadness, the Deserter is torn apart by hatred. Both are isolated, overcome / defined by their emotion, still clinging onto a long-lost cause, spouting semi-coherent political defences of their ideology. I imagine in the ending where Harry stays in the fishing village, that's probably how he ends up.
  3. Cuno is Half-Light incarnate.

Just started my second playthrough, which I'm doing 6/6/6/6 style because I can't stop thinking about this game since finishing it a month ago and I'd like some closure. Already did some serious detective poo poo with the passed-out guy at the Whirling (after picking his pockets), intimidated Garte into only charging me 70 real, remembered that I'm a feminist, and got a huge amount of dialogue out of Lena I hadn't seen before. What a game.

Keep a couple things in mind: you can't see everything even with 6/6/6/6 since some passives only trigger when you fail a check. And even more, 6/6/6/6 might not show you all successes since I think I saw that some passives require even more than that. So if you're going for a max stat run (which I recommend people do at least once after their first playthrough), might as well crank those stats to something absurd like 21/21/21/21. It's going to make the stats and skills page display a little weird, though.

As far as I know, the only way to see everything is to use a program like Disco Reader, which is not the most intuitive way to see conversation trees play out, but it seems very exhaustive. There's other alternatives to Disco Reader, but I'm less familiar with them, and I think they all have pros and cons.

Mmm, I don't know if his whole deal is due to the phasmid. I think he claims to have started his bitter guerilla campaign very early after his desertion. The phasmid's toxins don't help his mental state, but the reason he keeps himself isolated is because of his clinging to a bygone, idealized thing.

Yea no doubt. But I think the game specifically references the the phasmid giving him the energy to keep going and it twisted him into what he became. I think a more relevant comparison would be to Rene (who the deserter mentions iirc), who is still twisted by hatred but wasn’t running around killing communists

You blink, and the world is different than it was a second ago. The man sitting on the log before you suddenly more familiar to you than the bespectacled man at your side, quietly thumbing through the pages of his notebook, pen at the ready.

It takes you a few seconds to realise why, but the revelation hits you like the bullet you're almost certain THIS man fired hit Lely's biological off-switch.

You know him because he's you.

The you awaiting you if you refuse to let go. If you continue to chase the apricot shadow. If you continue to avoid responsibility for your ultimately self-inflicted woes through the medium of copious amounts of Commodore Red and speed.

This man is nobody. All that defines him is external now: his hatred for capitalism, for the killer (the OTHER killer, that is), the union, the world. His existence a mere caricature of living, given meaning by how the inner void attempts to deny its own existence by drowning itself in the world beyond those tired black eyes, never once looking inward and acknowledging the fault lines formed within.

No. Wait. You're not entirely right, here. There IS a difference between the two of you. A small one, but maybe the most important one there is.

You still have a choice.

The big final check is rigged unless you've got the pheromone on you. Which I didn't, the first time I played. Just seeing the creature was real at all was more than enough magic for me.

I mean, on the other hand, being aware of an endangered species can help people preserve its ecosystem as they learn more about it, and since Evrart Claire is like two signatures away from gentrifying the Hell out of its whole habit through aggressively disruptive construction him and others being aware that maybe they should leave some of the wetland undisturbed for this cool bug is probably a good idea.

Development and gentrification are different things.

Specifically, gentrification is improving an area so that *other* people can move in. Development is improving an area for the people currently living there. Which one do you think Evrart is doing?
