tripwood posted:Fess up those who have finished, how many times did you cry during the game? I am man enough to admit to at least being choked up 3 times. Coach Physical Instrument wouldn't have approved. There were a lot of heavy moments - the game certainly becomes more intense tone-wise around the mid-point or so. Quite a few scenes hit an emotional high note with me - the (successful) karaoke, giving notice of the dead body, Sad FM, the phonecall, the intercom glitch, dreaming of Dolores Dei, heart-to-heart chats with Kim, etc, but oddly enough the one line that got me full-on ugly sobbing (probably the hardest I've ever cried at a videogame, actually) was "I'm glad to be me - an incredibly sensitive instrument". I struggle with self-worth a lot, and something about everything in the game that leads up to that scene made that sentence land perfectly with me.

Spoilery question on that subject, but I just wanted to make sure I actually squeezed all I could out of the hole in existence side-quest. I finished the task itself, did everything in Soona's questline, presented a theory, remixed the hellsound, danced and communed with the city and whatnot, but I didn't return to the church after the tribunal, instead doing a last check of things in the east side of the river but then just beelining for the island without checking up on the church, fishing village or the mural building. The last thing I got on that quest was Soona telling me she'd have to send word to her coworkers and wait for their reply, but I'm not sure if that's where it ends or if there's anything more before I head for the island.

Just replayed the tribunal scene and I think I know what my favorite voiced line in the game is. "He never stops. HE ONLY GETS WORSE." Overall the brain voices were definitely the highlight of the voice cast for me (were they really all voiced by the same person?????  ), and the second place is probably shared between Kim's VA and the guy who plays Measurehead

Broken Cog posted:No, that's something different. I only got the other one on one of my runs, I think you have to start arguing with him about the legitimacy of the commune or something. Might require high encyclopedia. What I got from that was when he says 'pederasty' he actually means homosexuality. Conflating the two is not only common in homophobic circles (old-timey ones in particular), 'pederast/pedophile' is literally the go-to slur against gay people in a lot of France, which is what Revachol is mostly based on. The commune legalizing 'pederasty' would match the historical equivalent of the bolsheviks decriminalizing homosexuality. The deserter is a really interesting character, but he's also kind of a bigoted piece of poo poo. He hates capital, as we all should, but he also hates women, gay people, young people, old people, foreigners, Revacholians, and anyone who kept living as he had to deal with his entire world being artillery-bombed into a mass grave while he slowly steamed in his own guilt, grief and bug drugs.

Jack Trades posted:That's why Inland Empire is one of my absolute favorite skills. It spoils the whole game plot for you but in the most useless way possible that you won't be able to understand until you get there properly. If you have a high enough Inland Empire when you get one of your first Shivers prompts describing what's going on in all directions of the city, IE will quickly interject 'that's where the miracle is' when you get to the... north? whichever direction the island is in. I think there's a similar line if you use the coin-operated viewer that's pointing at the island. lov too have a cryptic-to-the-point-of-uselessness tiny David Lynch in my brain

NecroMonster posted:Welp, I finished this. I'm kind of not sure what to say. Did a very old, lonely and broken person really snipe that dude out of jealously and maybe being hopped up on weird rear end bug aura? You gotta hand it to him, it was one hell of a shot. e:

Oxxidation posted:he was a commandant in the revolutionary army, you dingbat Almost! They taught him Mazovian dialectics and little else. He was a political officer, tasked with ensuring ideological rigor in his unit. He was also sixteen. It's explicitly clarified that he did not receive military training. Part of the reason he's so bitter and miserable is because his entire purpose for being stationed there was maintaining morale and discipline, and he was the first to flee. It's a "you had one loving job" situation.

I *think* that the dance check, along with the other important authority check you get at the Tribunal, has plenty of modifiers to allow for low-authority players to pass it comfortably as long as they haven't been playing an rear end in a top hat. But oof, yeah, I'd say failing that check's one of the few insta-savescum worthy moments in the game. E: Make sure everyone else is dancing before you pull rank on Kim

Did anything else ever come out of that announcement that Disco Elysium was getting a TV adaptation? I'm not holding my hopes up that anything will come to fruition (or that it'll be good if it happens), but I was up all night in deep thought about who would make the perfect Harry, and after binging GLOW I'm partial towards Marc Maron. He has that human trainwreck energy down pat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY8nfRjTGUQ Stumbled into another long-form video-essay about DE. I liked the bit about "open" vs "closed" character creation in RPGs - I feel like deep down I *know* I will get more satisfaction from a (well-written) pre-made protagonist, even if my monkey brain always gravitates towards shiny fancy character creation systems where I'll invariably end up creating the same vaguely horny protagonist that always picks the nice dialog option except when there's a line that's really funny. But it's so hard to find an RPG where you're put in the shoes of a character who's 1) already a person and 2) already an interesting person.

Zeta Acosta posted:i first played the game when it launched and in english, now its time to play it again on spanish. cant wait. I was super excited for the Spanish translation so I could start hawking the game to friends and family, unfortunately the translation seems to be heavily Spanish-from-Spain, which usually wouldn't be a huge issue, but due to the way DE is written that means there's a lot of spanish slang that would be impenetrable to the casual latin american player. nurmie posted:Interesting that descriptions of these mention at least two skills—Volta do Mar and Behaviourism—that don't appear in Mr. Du Bois's skill set. They mention Volta do Mar in the game, it's what allowed people to actually traverse the Pale without sailing off into oblivion (named after a real-life Portuguese navigation technique, basically do a broad swerve to catch the best winds back to Europe). Since it's listed in red it might be what Kim has instead of Shivers?
