Ugly In The Morning posted:It’s so great when you don’t and decide to roll the dice on some long shot and it works, like when my pencil necked Art Cop managed to go toe-to-toe with a 6 and a half foot tattooed racist. I had like a 12 percent chance to pull that one off. I did a 3% check on a presumably harmless object to see what the failure result was and accidentally succeeded.

just had a softlock after the (day 1-2 spoilers) damaged ledger note event my pardner finished talking to me and I never got a prompt to close the conversation so it's a really good idea to have a couple manual saves, but you also need to resist savescumming skill checks blizzardvizard posted:This game can't download fast enough psyche and phys are the less-safe stats to set to 1 because they give you your health bars; you heal when you sleep (in a bed) and also from some events, but that doesn't matter if you have 1 health out of a maximum of 1 and are thus entirely reliant on heal items auto-rescuing you from death otoh you can get the health bars up to 2 by tossing in a skill point, which is slightly less than 1/6 as valuable as a stat point, so Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Oct 16, 2019 |

I get the impression that you'll learn things and have a fun rollercoaster even if you're bad at pursuing the case. I also get the impression that any stat combination has a good shot at the case, just through different routes. This may not apply to any skill combination, mind you. I'd actually do the goofball first, so you don't consciously / subconsciously know some of the ways to get evidence without advice/skillchecks from doing things reasonably correctly on a

Quicksilver6 posted:There's a really, REALLY hard conceptualization check you can do with the company rep lady on the boat that reveals more of the world and the nature of the Pale. I could have sworn the game was going to go full Cosmic Horror after that conversation, but no. Failing that check is fine. You get a really excellent Thought that is worth beelining for right off the bat in your second playthrough, and when you finish internalizing it you can go pass the check and learn about the Pale. Spoiler about the first bit of the first spoiler: It gives a boost to max perception, which is fine, and 1xp per little bubble you click, which is b o n k e r s if you get it early enough Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Oct 16, 2019 |

beats posted:I don't think it railroads you into that at all -- I went out of my way to avoid most of that stuff just to see what happens and now I'm really curious what a playthrough looks like without high Shivers, Perception or even Half-Light. I guess the great thing about there being no need for separate 'combat' skills is that all the skills are used constantly...everywhere. I wouldn't be suprised if you miss just as much stuff by dumping FYS/MOT as you do with low INT/PSY. It seems like you can just do whatever and you'll have a good time. I suspect he was joking and delivering a sneaky compliment to this insane game.

Infinite Karma posted:The best sequel would be Joyce losing her grip on time sailing through the Pale and waking up on some other place with amnesia, and not knowing where her boat is or why she's there. As she figures out that she's working her fixer mojo in this new place, she decides if she's going to pull the company line or work towards something better, and also find her loving boat to get off this wretched place. Basically Tyranny but Disco. I never imagined this possibility but I am so in. also fits devastatingly well with a revelation about the Pale and Revachol's isola that's apparently skippable Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Nov 20, 2019 |

The Void is imo IPL's best game (or at least was before the pathologic remake?), and was probably my contender for best game-as-art before, well, this one blew it out of the water.
