Regalingualius posted:Well, I restarted my first play through from scratch and did quite a bit more than I remembered doing on day 1 the last time. When you ship him out, Kim goes with him. So do that when you want to do some COOL things. Like selling drugs to a kid, or learning about cryptids, or getting the low down on reality.

The WoolieVersus playthrough is amusing but mostly at the expense of Woolie, who gets upset at there being no "libertarian left" political alignment and goes on extended rants about tankies and misunderstands very basic lines of dialogue (like when he thinks putting soot on Harry's face like warpaint is a blackface thing)

He makes a good point though, Harry should be able to do a land acknowledgement and lecture people on why Dick Mullen is copoganda

The best part of the WoolieVs LP was when he failed the "intimidate Titus Hardie" check and laughed so hard he threw his back out.

Oxyclean posted:I thought that specifically goes to a racial place if you fail a check or something? eh. you can assert that it's echoing ancient graad hero ramout karzai (and then it says that he's from iilmaraa? error, I guess) but I wouldn't say it's a "racial place." more probably you're thinking of the check to figure out that elizabeth the gardener is keeping watch on you on day 1. if you fail the check (viscal? drama? I forget) it goes "all you can see is that her skin is a different color than yours. That's literally it. You're gonna have to go with that" and the only dialogue option is "You're black." which goes about as well as you might expect

The thing that kept consistently slaying me when I'd check out other playthroughs is how upset almost all of them got at getting The World's Most Laughable Centrist achievement. Or their reactions to the end-of-game evaluation. Especially funny when they get evaluated as a fascist.

Jean and Harry's probable dynamic when they worked together is something I'd love to see. The impression I got is that Jean is probably more like Harry than he cares to admit which is why he takes Harry's collapse so personally past just having to put up with a suicidal drunk.

Are there any good Let's Plays of the game that don't follow most people's first run (moralist/mild communist, sorry/boring cop, minimal drug use) I want to see a blind LP where someone really leans into the wild and goes superstar or apocalypse or ultraliberal or fascist in their first run. Just to get a different vibe on it.

Aww, boo! I missed out on Torque Dork due to a technicality, despite meeting all the requirements. The game gave me the achievement but not the dialogue for the ingame thought.  From what I can tell, it's because I had 1 Logic instead of 2 when I clicked this. So, it's no longer replaced with the Logic 2 version that lets me recognize the noise of the carriage. The game checks for this during the Torque Dork conversation. Bummer! Fair Bear Maiden posted:Don't worry, there's a section of the fandom that absolutely thirsts after him too.

If the OG team ever got to make another game set in Revachol, I'd have loved if it starred Jean. We don't really get a lot about him except that his belligerent, gaping rear end in a top hat front belies a frankly unreasonable amount of loyalty and respect for Harry.

Interestingly enough, the music from the boombox supercedes all background audio, so in scenes where there would be very haunting melodies, instead there was just eurotrash dance being blared endlessly.

I feel like your opinion of Jean depends entirely on whether you get the Esprit check after the precinct phone call. I can easily imagine not caring for him if you don't get to see that.

I'm sure there are a few checks for it where people tell you they hear it (besides the obvious one from the island guy), but if shivers or someone made a comment that touched on the pale while you did it that'd be cool.

They cost skill points so they didn't seem worth it, better to use the skill points to get rerolls on white checks This is the saddest post in the thread

So I was watching an LP and it just hit me that the Doomed Commercial Area intercom is where Harry got the idea to nuke his memory with the Swallow. "Ever since I came to work here it's been different... As if my mind's been wiped clean... It's so nice. It's so nice to finally forget about you." No idea how I missed that until now—maybe I just never "talked" to the recording twice after my first playthrough?

IIRC your precinct buddies imply that you’ve done this before, or at the very least you’ve done a couple of practice runs before really nuking yourself so I think this is an idea Harry had before he came to Martinaise

He went on a drunken rampage ended up on the other side of the river met the stick insect and it wiped his mind like it's been did to the deserter, would also give the game a bit of a nice bookend to it People keep claiming that Harry did it to himself before though, but ah well I've always thought it was a neat idea.

I think the game very deliberately avoids confirming any one theory so you can say whichever one you prefer is the most plausible, but I'd say there's plenty of reason to think it's the Phasmid; it clearly has the ability to do so, and it cares about people in its own alien arthropod way. It is very kind in the Inland Empire conversation and straight up tells Harry to forget about what's-her-face, and if you want a more credible skill's input, Volition believes it gave Iosef the idea to leave may bells for Klaasje. Plus there's the solution to Cleaning Out the Rooms which pretty explicitly suggests a supportive third party deliberately boxed away your memories in the hopes that you'd only unpack the good ones later.

I also ascribe to the idea that nothing supernatural happened to him, but if it did it wouldn't change much. Personally, I think his name was a real big factor in discarding his identity for this case. There are hints all over the place that Harry didn't just dislike his name, he actively held disdain for it and the meaning attached to it. The smashed bird at the bar, followed by shouting that he "doesn't want to be this type of animal anymore" implies to me that his mind had connected detective cops to being the embodiment of a harrier, the hawk. Nearly everyone, even Kim, comments that the name suits him. If you manage to call Video Revachol, they've still got his name on file at the site of one of his hardest memories. Even the description of your badge lays on a 'really' if Kim isn't there as if he doesn't want to believe it: quote:BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - This document confirms it -- Harrier Du Bois, i.e. Harry, is really your name. After 40+ years of being reminded that your purpose is to overwatch the whole world from the thick of it via your name, I can see why you'd grow a little tired of it.

Yeah, I think this is the only pathway to a hopeful 'maybe this time will be different for Harry' interpretation of the ending.

Because the skill is Inland Empire, I believe that the phasmid isn't actually having a conversation with Harry. Harry is having a conversation with himself
