Great that people are talking about FOMO because every time I try to get going with this game, I go back to the character creation screen and wonder about what are the "best" stats. I keep reading about how even losing is great in this game, about how I should just enjoy myself, etc, but I keep trying to min max it. IS there a "good build" or just try to go with the flow?

Also, is it just me or are the pre built stat distributions not good?

all stat distributions are good because the game rewards every one, just in different ways

I guess I just took the LP thread advice of "Don't have any stat lower than 2 or higher than 4 if you don't know what you are doing" to heart.

Not to mention that I keep hearing about how there are entire sequences where you can lose multiple health/morale points at once. As hilarious as dying from turning on a light is, I don't want that to keep happenning to me all throughout the game.

Having GLaDOS read the Kingdom of Conscience internalization flavor text is oddly fitting.

Most relevant bits of that interview:

* Some voice roles have been recast but favorites like Kim and Evrart have stayed on.
* All 24 skills will have the same voice: that of Lenval Brown, who narrates the Final Cut trailer and will also narrate the passive voice portions. Meaning he literally voices half the game's 1.2 million-word script. Poor bastard.

Let's see how the new guys do. Tbh I think the only voice I'd personally replace was Jean's, since he sounds way too cartoonish, especially since you only get to hear him speak at the ending.

Is Lenval the same person currently doing the reptile/other part of Harry’s brains?

No, those are done by Mikee Goodman. That interview seems to give the impression that they just stumbled onto Lenval (who is a jazz musician by trade) after release and thought "This is the guy. He needs to be Harry's brain and our narrator."

Oh gently caress, are those new portraits actually going in the final cut?! I thought they were just done different for the displate prints :stonk:

What new portraits? The ones in Displate look the same to me. :confused:

Edit: Ok, I found this. Tbh I think Half Light and Suggestion are the only ones I'm not thrilled about. Rest is fine.

Edit 2: So are all the INT portraits completely unchanged or have they simply not been released?

I just wonder how stuff like this will be narrated or voice acted, when there is dialogue for a character who then does something else that isn't dialogue, sometimes even more than once:



Lenval Brown will also do all the voice involving narration, so I'm guessing it would switch between the character and him, like in certain audiobooks.

Really? Those interviews implied they replaced most of them (but not Kim and Evrart). Where did they say this?

AceOfFlames

I think it's odd because they mentioned having to do a lot of actual voice directing and recording in real studios, which is something that would take a lot of time for people with actual day jobs. At the very least, I don't see the Chapo guys having that sort of time. Nekrashova I can see it since she's an actual actress.

Basically, it's the indie version of "We replaced Peter Dinklage with Nolan North because Peter is always too busy to record new dialogue".

Yeah, I think original Cuno can't be beaten but I find this to be an acceptable alternative. Plus the slightly less intense delivery is probably more appropriate to listen to for extended periods of time.

wait, hum. since it's under the umbrella of Shivers, is he also gonna voice La Revacholiere?

Someone asked this to the devs on Discord and their response amounted to "You'll have to wait and see"

Regarding different deliveries for each skill it is somewhat disappointing but coming up with 24 different character voices would be a massive challenge for any voice actor, let alone a jazz musician, so I can sort of let that slide.

Thanks a ton. That’s exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to avoid. The older I get, the less I like those kinds of things in games. We only get so much time to play. Just want to tool around and have fun defining a character without worrying about poo poo like that.

This is less important, but I’m super curious about it. The game is obviously political, and any amount of research will make it very clear where the developers land on the spectrum, and yet they included some pretty repellent political options. I’m a full blown leftist gay space communist, but I’m still curious, do the centrist and rightwards political avenues mock the player for choosing them? It’s interesting how you get this spectrum of political expression, but prevailing culture outside of the game, and all that, makes me wonder how those less tasteful angles are handled by the developers, their own political biases aside.

While the game at first glance looks like it does the South Park thing of mocking everyone, it quickly becomes apparent that the game directly mocks the ideologies of ultraliberalism (ancap), neoliberalism, fascism and centrism themselves and calls out those who follow them as cowards or evil while the absolute worst it has to say about communism is that it's an impractical dream and it's far more interested in mocking those who use lip service to communism for violent or self-serving ends.

450 Euros for a bespoke jacket made by an expert seamstress seems like a bit of a bargain, considering the Estonian Minimum wage is only slightly lower than that of Portugal, which is slowly but surely becoming the European luxury/"ethical" luxury clothes manufacturer of choice for anyone who cannot afford France/Italy/London levels of bespoke.

They could have designed a cheap, easy to make, flimsy orange bomber jacket and gotten them made by what is barely considered a worker and not a slave. They could have made thousands of these jackets and sold them for $100, putting cents into the workers pockets and thousands of dollars into theirs. Instead, they (presumably ofc) paid a person to design a nice coat in the style of the game, and a few people to hand sew what seem to be not flimsy, quality materials, into a nice jacket that will stand up to wear and not end up at a value village in the saddest towns of the american midwest.
