Do you get any reactions to running around without any clothes on?

Are different cop archetypes mutually exclusive? i.e, can you be both a superstar cop and a hobocop?

I've had a problem with taking screenshots on steam for a while, but this is the first time I'm really annoyed by it.

Is there anything in steam / the game settings that stops the game from taking screenshots when I press F11 (or whatever that is).

For some reason, talking to the old woman lorry driver near 2 o'clock stopped time from advancing, so now I apparently have forever to explore the city? Or maybe time is still counting in the background, and I'm just not seeing it?

Knocked Measurehead out, went into the office - the union head isn't there, you can't actually leave without talking to him, and time doesn't advance. Good thing I had another save.

How exactly do I learn that I can pick up "tare"? I got the frittte bag, I've inspected the tare machine, talked to the sales girl... but haven't been able to pick up any bottles anywhere, despite being a hobocop.

Edit - Ah, you have to equip the bag first?

Now that time has frozen, I'm just re-exploring every dialog option to exhaustion. Finally got the insufferable centrist and fascist options.

*Fascism* sounds so bad though. What if we called it something else? Like, uhm, *traditionalism*?

...

Also, where do I get a map? I thought digging the ledger out of the trash mentioned the map, but I still can't actually use it.

Time never advances in the background. It only advances during dialogue. (And also apparently it stop advancing for good each night at 2 AM.)
Huh. That has to be like a bug, right? What's even the point of a daily cycle if you can just do all the tedious exploring at the end of the day with no repercussions?

Serious question though, where do you get a map of the city?

Mr. Sharps posted:

passives are when you get a colorful CONTINUE -> button during a conversation with the color being in relation to what skill will be used. those are passive checks as opposed to the white or red active checks where you actively choose to try them. i have pretty high encyclopedia brains right now but i still dont get a whole lot of passive checks with it compared to other skills like say pain threshold, some skills are definitely more useful than others in that regard

It's not very complicated.

You launch the game, launch cheatengine with the table (which is in the link) and find the exe for the game. Then you just activate the table and do what you want. Takes like 1 minute.
Sorry, still beyond me. I've downloaded Disco Elysium.ct and installed cheatengine. Launched Disco Elysium. Hit Disco Elysium.ct to launch cheatengine.

Select a process to open - Disco Elysium, the game, I guess?

Ok - "keep the current address / code list?" - yes?

Ok, now I'm staring at the cheat engine menu, with seemingly no changes.

"Open a cheat code or unprotected certainer" - Disco Elysium.ct - doesn't actually do anything.

How do I "activate the table" and change things?


I managed to activate the table, and I'm still not sure how you actually change your skillpoints / $$$?

Internalizing thoughts doesn't actually open new dialog options, right? You can spout off fascist / communist / etc opinions just by having the thought available but not internalized?

Political ideology clothes (hustler shoes, moralist pants) - do they actually improve the benefits of an internalized thought when equipped? Do they provide said effects as a substitute for the internalized thought? (i.e, - you equip the hustler shoes and get +1 to Indirect Taxation. Does that mean that you get the benefits of having internalized IT, even if you haven't?)

You don't need to mess with cheat engine or anything to break the game, old fashioned save editing does the trick. The saves are in Appdata/Locallow under the studios name, saved as zip files. Open one up, take the .JSON file out, edit in notepad++ (skill points/stats is about line 1000), put JSON back in zip, and load save. Tada, one OP character.

regulargonzalez posted:

The thing about this game, though, is that it's actually meant to be played where you fail some checks and it's a superior experience that way - tons of funny, important, and even more valuable info and gameplay is behind failed checks. I started an OP char and it's interesting to see some of the things that were hidden behind failed passive checks but it's clearly not how it's intended to be played and, as far as I'm concerned, a flat-out inferior experience. 1111 might be more fun than 9999
Yo, could you link a download to a day 1 hour 1 save game for a 9999 character? I'm rather interested in how that plays out.

1. How did you reconstruct the crime scene (where was the prompt)?

2. Yeah, pretty much any white check you can unlock will unravel the others. I would try for the perception check, it helps with the rest.

I hope "bad cop" points don't actually mean anything - because they started at 0 after I picked up the ledger, even though I've done all kinds of terrible poo poo, including trying to shoot Cunoesse.

Right now they're positive, even though I tried to be as much of an rear end in a top hat as possible, just because I moved the story along and solved some things.

Two questions:

1. How do you get Firewalker or some variation thereof to stick as your name? I started with a successful conceptualization check with Kim, talked to Garte on the subject, used Firewalker while calling the HQ and lazareth, never accepted Harry as my name... and that's it, the options are HDB or nothing.

2. Where exactly on the boardwalk can you find the bullet traces? I ran back and forth across the whole thing like a dozen times.

You need to be wearing the Horrific Necktie after you confront Ruby. The option to get the blue spirits ready for use will pop up as you're leaving her hideaway.
You also need the "Spirits Eternal" sidequest (have the tie pipe-up as you buy the blue spirits).
