This game is really good. I mean, the game i alright, but I really enjoy reading the dialogue and the idea cards. I think this is all written really well. There should be some sort of book or website compiling the best bits and pieces in the smallest self-contained unit. I know it doesn't do the overall story justice, then, but somehow I feel like all these things should be preserved somehow so its accesssible beyond a new playthrough. For example I really lol'ed IRL at the "AL'GUUL" exhange, and I'd like to read it again for that reason. Of course if I were the creator of the game I would also probably object to that, so

Ohhhh. The RCM Patrol Cloak. Harry hung it up there. It has three bullet holes in it. His three-shot pistol was loaded when he arrived, but empty when he found it again.

That's pretty much what the game says verbatim, isn't it ? : "All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *hosed him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. [...] Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world."

If people are looking for game quotes this Github page seems to have a lot of dialog from you and NPCs, not your inner monologues though: https://gist.github.com/efonte/ce0b3a8f2651d2263d7085b2121d9f6c Edit: can someone feed these into one of those text AIs?

What should I do to have the best chance to help Cuno in the long run in the Split the Kilo quest? Should I give him the vial? I am just a poor communist boy who also looks like Kras Mazov, I do not have the foresight to know what's best. Especially when Inland Empire and Logic are fighting on this

It didn't lead to Cuno overdosing or anything sad like that, and while Kim gives you some side-eye for such a very un-coplike act he won't narc on you or anything either. Very far down my line Cuno chose to stop doing speed at least for a while, for (his own) Reasons.

How do you learn about the third merc, if at all? I thought I've exhausted Ruby's and Joyce's dialog, but he was still a surprise. Quick aside - replaying for the whatever time, beelining for the xp and money-making thoughts and skills. Got 75 skill points before meeting the Instigator, 555 real before leaving for the island. I think that if you don't buy anything at all, you might be able to earn that 700 needed to buy the streetlight "fairly". Xander77 fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Nov 23, 2019 |

So I've been playing this but keep bouncing off because of chronic restartitis and a pathological need to see as much content as possible. Sensitive cop is apparently pretty good, but that 1 in INT is really putting me off. Is there any build you guys would recommend for seeing the most content, or alternatively for the most 'thematically appropriate' run? Admittedly, the Shivers signature FYS build I'm doing right now isn't working out too badly, but my first conversation with Joyce bothered me with how easily she ran circles around me.

I mean sensitive cop. Not only drugs help with rolls you are not built for but there is also savescumming if you are desperate. I went with Sensitive cop first and am currently despaired because I feel like the game opened up its most beautiful things to me with this playthrough and there is nothing left to experience. E: Shivers feels like flair until an epic moment which is OMG yes. Unlike many weaklings who reloaded monkey-fucker situation (you can later apologise , own up to your fuckup and learn something about your buddy)I went with it and the revacholese has an urgent thing to say about it. Not only does this thing produces a bit of perspective on Kim but I like to imagine perhaps to the *return* as well. Sekenr fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Nov 23, 2019 |

Toward the seven sisters -- toward those pale cliffs there I would often stay there. In there tiny yard there. I have been so glad here -- looking forward to the past here But now you are alone.

Well, I finally finished this and can freely read this thread without fear of spoilers. The comparisons with Planescape: Torment were wholly justified imo - that slightly unsettling sense of a world where *reality* is somehow fundamentally different is something I think no other game has managed to successfully pull off until now. I played through as a logic/motorics cop which on the sole worked fairly well (though I did end up sinking a load of extra points into shivers and inland empire after realising I was probably missing out on the best content (plus managed to kill myself on the very first screen trying to get my tie down) I think. I may have to cheat myself up some higher stats for a second play through. Not sure whether to go for art cop or apocalypse cop for that one.

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:Okay but what is the right path IIRC Say nothing until you have the option to say something like "But is it hardcore, really ?" which will end the dialogue. Do it again, saying nothing until you can ask "is it ?", then Egg should say IT IS !, answer "I really don't think it is" at which point he'll go WHAT IS THE QUESTION ? which is your cue to start going HARDCORE ! yourself as he's now in your shoes and trying to figure out what the gently caress you're on about. Think of it like you're trying to do the "rabbit season/duck season" gag. It's been a while though, I might have some steps wrong - ultimately just exhausting every dialogue option you haven't used yet should work, but do realize there's two steps to the puzzle, your journal will tell you when you've passed step 1.

But, as everyone else said, there's not really a wrong* way to play it, just choose what kind of content you're most interested in (reading people's thoughts and emotions, world lore and trivia, punching and kicking through things), adjust stats accordingly and roll with it. *although I guess having super low Perception is counterproductive 'cause you won't even notice half the stuff that would trigger checks for other skills; and if you leave either Volition or Endurance at 1, stock up on relevant healing items.

Maybe the puzzle is first introducing doubt by not agreeing all the way at the "end" of the line to trigger step 1, and then agreeing all the way which prompts Egg to doubt ?
