Anyone who ordered the collector's edition from iam8bit get theirs shipped? Edit: Nevermind. Looks like the physical versions aren't supposed to ship until summer. MrMidnight fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Mar 31, 2021 |

Kraftwerk posted:Which skills will give me some kind of high level knowledge of what's REALLY going on in the world? Put plenty of points in the two mental skills (Especially encyclopedia, rhetoric, inland empire and esprit de corps), and then try to get Shivers as high as possible. Your character will be very convinced he has a high level of knowledge of the world, and you'll have lots of options to say things that are very spiritual, political, and philosophical.

Kraftwerk posted:Which skills will give me some kind of high level knowledge of what's REALLY going on in the world? It's really, REALLY hard to be a competent cop, and those moments are a struggle, which is honestly what I love about the game so much. Your redemption doesn't come from you putting all the clues together and being smarter than everybody else, your redemption is "You know what? You actually managed to not gently caress up that particular thing you were just trying to do", and going from there. And trying to do it again. You hosed up, you will continue to gently caress up, but every so often, you manage to be the right person in the right place at the right time. Somebody who thinks you're a fuckup will realize that maybe somewhere deep down, you just might have what it takes. (That somebody is you.)

There are some guides on steam that would probably be useful, the achievements are the same. I think it would basically boil down to trying to navigate conversations trying to hit appropriate distributions as efficiently as possible for the 'say X type of thing Y times' type achievements. If memory serves massive torque dork in particular requires a very specific build/set of actions to hit

Downloading the entire game again as an "update" on GOG. Third time's a charm?

I was incredibly worried this game wouldn't be as magical the second time through but it sunk its hooks right back in as soon as I started playing today. I really, really hope this update gets new folks to give it a go because it is as perfect a game as we're likely to see for years

Kraftwerk posted:Which skills will give me some kind of high level knowledge of what's REALLY going on in the world? Encyclopedia is the skill that deals with trivial and factual knowledge but guess what, it is completely separate from contextualization. High levels of it will tell you about the first bars of the anthem of a distant Commune or the history of the fourth Innocence, what the gently caress is a "Franconigerian Cavalry" or that this band from a country called Oranje has been a massive hit on your city and which chart position they held in the billboard equivalent. Inland Empire is the one who can point that information out towards more intuitive significance, or none at all; it is fundamentally the power of the psychological unconscious. Sufficient points there make it capable of apparently overriding the amnesia, as it seems to bring out traces and impressions that you shouldn't know about. Oddities and weirdness. Shivers is... Well, rhm. Do you know that feeling you get after living in a metropolis after a while, of being somehow in tune with the place? Add that to what some would call having street smarts and multiply it by at least a thousand. That's Shivers. All I am going to say is that it is never a bad pick. Esprit-de-Corps is not obvious in that regard and it doesn't consider "knowledge of the world" as part of its department, but when it has something to say about that, is oh my loving god some of the best remarks of the game.

Cuno has a bit less energy, but sounds less like a weird adult. They kept the description of the scab leader’s voice as “oddly screechy for a big guy” but it doesn’t have that quality any more. Just kind of a big guy with some kind of accent I can’t place.

Only a little bit in but sorta liked the minimal voicework it had giving a few lines at the start and letting you do the rest in your head with their voice since most people read faster then they talk, anyone liking some peculiar voiced lines though?

Old Cuno sounded like he used his voice to strip paint so he could eat the chips. New guy sounds like a professional. Not sure about that change even if a lot of people are probably relieved. Anyone find new pants yet?

Ok so I have a question about Joyce: Kim suggests trying to "throw her off" by being wacky and weird. Has anyone actually found a way to pull this off? Or are we just destined to "play right into her hands" no matter what? First playthrough I did the drug investigation thing, second time I just conceded to come back to her once I found my badge. Either case, Kim always remarked that the discussion isn't going the way he hoped. I wanna do things differently on different playthroughs, so I'd like to know if it's even possible to achieve this supposed "throwing off" of Joyce.

You're all making me nervous about hearing new Cuno. A few of Cuno's old lines sounded like he was screaming from the opposite side of the room to his mic and it made the lines really funny in an odd way

Once again, Kim manages to steal the show for me. So glad they got the original actor back and really gave him the means to shine.Dr Christmas posted:They kept the description of the scab leader’s voice as “oddly screechy for a big guy” but it doesn’t have that quality any more. Just kind of a big guy with some kind of accent I can’t place. I do appreciate how the new actor makes more of an effort to distinguish between his asides to you and his performative slogans. dead gay comedy forums posted:edit: oh my god the tie I think the tie is essentially what everyone imagined Electrochemistry would sound like.

Kraftwerk posted:Which skills will give me some kind of high level knowledge of what's REALLY going on in the world? This is pretty close to what I was gunning for in my original run - a guy who's trying his best in spite of being a complete fuckup and a bit *eccentric*, but competent or even gifted at what he does when it comes down to it. My build was 4-5-1-2 and I'd say it fit the bill pretty well. Physique as the dump stat means your Electrochemistry (your Party Hard skill) will be neutered, so you'll be less constantly bombarded with yearnings to shoot heroin directly into your eyeballs. Volition is basically your Get Your poo poo Together skill, so keep that high if you want the constant stream of moral support from your own brain coming. The High Level Knowledge comes in a number of ways. There's Encyclopedia, which is basically your Wiki-surfing skill - lots of tidbits of trivia that range from the moderately relevant to the task at hand to the utterly useless. This includes a lot of lore, but it will usually be missing core elements of the world's history, which will have to be explained to you by other characters. The more metaphysical includes Inland Empire (your Twin Peaks brain - lots of cryptic and foreboding advice with a paranormal edge, which might only make sense once it's too late), Shivers (the ability to *feel* the city) and Conceptualization (abstract interpretation of people, objects and concepts - a lot of its early interventions are  incarnate, but it does have some of the most devastating lines in the game later on)

The thing I was looking forward to the most was a fully voice acted Cuno, but the new voice is just not very good compared to the old one, it's rather disappointing.

Huh, I'm at the end of the first day, doing the Shivers bit describing the city a direction at a time, "HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT. WHERE THE WOOD AT?" is voiced by a woman. Appropriate, also interesting that they make the capitalization being something different from standard Shivers far more explicit.

I think it updated, since it downloaded a patch, but there wasn't a setting to adjust the voice acting before the game begins - is that in-game? Did I somehow start the old version? ETA: nevermind i am just an idiot! thank you!
