Can someone explain what was meant by a moralist in the game? It went right over my head

quote:

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth

centrists who choose neutrality and status quo

you'd have had to internalise certain moralist thoughts, so it's probably for the best

I'll chime in and say letting her go isnt a failure as a policeman, both in real life or in the context of how the citizen's militia works in this gameworld.

That being said, I did try to arrest Garte for trying to make me pay the hostel bill because gently caress that guy.

that's true of the allcaps, surely, but the descriptive text is all you. otherwise espirit de corps would be equally untouchable

I might be wrong but I feel like it's the magical realism skill - the stuff it tells you isn't real-true, c.f. the square bullets, but it is true-true

goon reaction to disco elysium: "hmm maybe being a police officer is very easy"

i initially took that video with the designer where he says "you really need to drum a message into players six or seven times otherwise they'll ignore it" as hyperbole, but, well

DE is almost perfect, but it achieves perfection by keeping the scope of what it attempts very narrow and controlled

i haven't managed to find a place in disco elysium where i wanted to do something that the game wouldn't let me, but i think this is because the game is so excellent at shaping your expectations and funnelling your desires
