Rogue AI Goddess posted:She might've been an Ultra back in her younger and hungrier days, but both her demeanor and the color of scheme of her portrait suggest Moralist leanings. She's surprisingly understanding about it if you take a hardline communist stance in your interactions with her. That and the self-deprecating way she talks about her role in society, I interpreted it as some kind of subdued remorse. She also clearly doesn't want the situation to escalate to bloodshed. She didn't even want mercenaries in the first place.

God in heaven we got a clown in here quoting that TPUSA 100 million deaths figure that includes, among many other things, the Nazis killed in world war II and the difference in birthrate between the USSR and western nations Astounding. Did you fail an encyclopedia check or something?

bobtheconqueror posted:So, I spent a substantial portion of the early game thinking that Cunoesse had my gun, because the pawn shop guy said the person who bought it was scary and kept saying pigs, and Evrart implied some kids might have it.. I think that's an intentional red herring. ha

Let me guess, it's a good old case of "you are frankly depicting racism/homophobia/etc without glowing neon signs that say BAD GUY, ergo you are endorsing those things" There is no satisfying that kind of moral crusader

Caufman posted:Speaking of overcoming hopelessness, I really liked the walking date Harry can go on with Lilienne the Net Picker. A second date at the end of a year of sobriety is an interesting stretch goal. Bonus when Kim is there as the lovably uncomfortable chaperone. wait wait wait are you saying... I can go on a date... with Kim?

Phenotype posted:How does the game play out if you never find the bullet? I thought that was how you figured out the guy was shot instead of hung. I think you can pump the hardy boys for circumstantial evidence in this regard. At any rate, the cause of death would be revealed at the end of the game in any case, I imagine

freebooter posted:I also missed it and at the same time you're interviewing Klaasje/noticing the ballistic evidence around her window, you get one of those little "meanwhile" chunks of text, about whoever's doing the proper autopsy back at HQ, and they say something like "ah, no wonder they missed it." Which... I guess would be possible, if the entry wound was then covered up by the tightened strap, and there was no exit wound? We can safely say there is no exit wound, on account of the bullet never exiting.

Greaseman posted:Is that made explicit? I took Kim going "sure, I'm part of the homosexual underground" as him rolling his eyes while trying to get you to drop the subject, if that's what you're thinking of. And it's implied that maybe he's being subtly manipulated by Klassje in a way similar to Harry, which makes me wonder. Klassje has more going on than just her sex appeal, she is a talented manipulator and it's not out of the question that she is stringing along Kim for reasons that have nothing to do with his libido. Hell, the first time I played, I felt more sympathetic towards her than I ought to have, and I too am part of the homosexual underground

John Charity Spring posted:Austin Walker correctly identified Sunday Friend as monstrous but in the same article wrote about how moralists are just well-meaning but ineffectual centrists, which feels like a very basic misreading of the world presented by the game (not to mention the actual world we live in). Part of being a liberal in the 2020s is the pathological inability to connect certain dots

(frankly I think Kim deserves better though. even if you do everything right Harry's still a big hot mess who probably needs to work on himself for a while before getting involved with anyone. Fisherwoman has the right idea)

Wafflecopper posted:i did, there's no need to be condescending. i just didn't find that part of it particularly convincing and felt like the rest of your argument relied on it so that's the part i wanted to respond to in particular. like yeah you're probably right, he does seem to have a reputation, it's just that to me the whole super cop thing stretches credibility When you play as Harry, you are basically working nonstop from 7 am to 2 am, doing nothing but investigating (directly or indirectly) the murder. You do not take breaks. You are a relentless engine of focus and drive. It's a video game so maybe you don't think about it, but that is superhuman dedication and ability. If that is how Harry functioned in the past, such an amazing record makes sense. I don't think there's any text in the game to suggest he is a fraud beyond just showing how damaged he is by this pathological workaholism.
