What if the game is Bad? What if the game is Really Good?

Thank you for all the answers re: Inland Empire. I haven't seen the movie but I've seen 2.5 seasons of Twin Peaks and some of his other movies so just imagining myself as Dale Cooper makes a lot of sense to me.

For inspiration in terms of detective stuff, the dev team are fans of The Shield, The Wire, True Detective, Twin Peaks, Sherlock Holmes and also Dashiell Hammett's detective stories to name a few. Source: Disco(rd) Elysium, from ZA/UM community manager.

I only found out this exists yesterday and I'm explosively excited about it. I want this game to sit on my face all day long.

looking through the interviews done on this game I kinda want to know how the lead writer is alive given the amount of coke he's been doing.

While I can't disprove that he's ever written under those influences, I don't know that there's any first-hand source anywhere that actually claims as fact Michael Kirkbride having taken mushrooms/LSD to write for The Elder Scrolls. There was like, an anonymous rumor on 4chan that used an image from a music video and claimed it was a picture taken by Todd Howard of Mike after locking himself in on a drug-fuelled bender.

In the game it will be possible to use speed, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, do psychedelic anti-radiation drug Pyrholidone, GABA-max and take magnesium. Those are the drugs I saw mentioned. No idea if cocaine is also available, although there is a mention of its use in history. You can buff yourself up with these mid-conversation (or battle) to change your stats, so playing a drugged up character should be fun to try. A Hippie cop with bellbottom pants and a psychedelic shirt and tie would be fitting.   If you do drugs in game, you become more addicted and you will get quests to procure speed for example and you might not be able to refuse the quest. All this does not necessarily mean the game was written under the influence of substances, but speculation is most of what we have for the next two weeks.

As far as templates go, I haven't tried to stat concretely but I thought of a hero that I'm curious to see complete this game: Inspector Hildibrand Manderville, agent of enquiry from Final Fantasy XIV! Quick synopsis of the character: a bumbling meddler in the vein of Clouseau, with a sleepy sidekick (who specializes in pyrotechnics) and a sort-of modern Cato in the form of the player character (though it's his family that keeps him in physical peril). He's quite physically fit (though that's mostly to do bodybuilding flexes and endure extreme abuse - he's not really a fighter), a bit self-aware (gets kinda petty when someone upstages him and/or finds out the real causes/culprits while he's concocting wild theories), and kinda sweeps people into absurd situations. I thought about him while thinking of non-explictly-Lynchian detectives who'd still be a fit for Inland Empire - his ideas and priorities are usually some dreamed-up stories that still somehow get him embroiled in the actual events of a case even when his theories are wrong. So probably fairly high FYS scores across the board (likely barring Electrochemistry - any madness about him isn't chemically induced), a mix of MOT scores (he's klutzy and often unobservant, but he'd probably also qualify for at least some Savoir Faire and Composure), actually some decent PSY with high Volition and Inland Empire, moderate Empathy, and maybe even some Espirit de Corps, and... fairly low INT across the board; his best might be Drama and Conceptualization, but even they wouldn't be THAT high. I just know he's going to need this in his Thought Cabinet.

Australia doesn't let you have real life drugs be beneficial in games. But if you take Zoomex instead of Cocaine for that speed buff then everything is fine for some reason.

Well, the drugs are bad for your health in game, it's not strictly beneficial. Your health can drop and give you a heart attack. There's pros and cons. Pretty sure some of those drugs are fictional too. Speed is a thing though.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:what's the deal with magnesium? is it illegal to soothe your upset stomach in this game Wiki (Magnesium): "Magnesium compounds are used medicinally as common laxatives, antacids (e.g., milk of magnesia), and to stabilize abnormal nerve excitation or blood vessel spasm in such conditions as eclampsia." So, it seems that self-medicating in the game is something of a balancing act.

I'm kinda curious how you're going to use drugs mid-dialogue. Are you just going to turn around and do a quick bump off your hand before carrying on with the interrogation? Hmm, now I really want to play a guy based off Nic Cage's character from Bad Lieutenant.

I try to stick to evidence as much as I can, but here is some gossip from Discord: Some people have gotten review copies and they're praising the game as the best thing ever.  The hype is real.   Why is my sense of time stretching?  Edit: Nevermind, the devs claim that the review copies are not out yet. If someone has review copies, maybe some shenanigans are in play.

Holy poo poo, I didn't even know about this a week ago and now I'm unbelievably hyped for this game. I've always wanted something like this and that it has a sorta China Mieville'y weirdness on top of it all is icing on the cake.

Whoever that person is, what he is saying is the same sentiment that I've seen from every source that has had access to the early demos. The devs have stated that review copies will be sent out soon. Which could mean anything between days to weeks of course.

Cool. I didn't know there was a thread for this here. (Like everyone else) I'm going all in for the Dale Cooper/Sam Vimes crossover detective. Pump INT at chargen then dip into Inland Empire, Espirit de Corps and Shivers*, then use equipment exclusively buffing those skills. *Shivers is absolutely the Sam Vimes skill. "Feel your city". I bet there are even boots with really thin soles that buff it somewhere. SelenicMartian posted:What if every single critical failure in the game involves crashing into the wheelchair lady? If there's a running joke where she just gets more and more infuriated with you, I'm into it.

I appreciate the task names in this game so much. Finally, an RPG with true-to-life goals. Also, noticed that inventory has a category called "Pawnables", something that should really be standard for all games with inventories. Weird to think I've absorbed so much info about this game over the years and have yet to see anything I dislike.
