ain't played much yet but Lena's drawl feels so weird to me for an ostensible native revacholian to have, and also I liked sailor socialism as klaasje over this new woman, but maybe they'll grow on me

quite possible, I didn't dig deep into the first conversation where you can chatter about ostentatious orchestrations and making gently caress with her, so maybe I missed her opening salvo

I've noticed you can use xp to remove thoughts and some other things like that, does it require careful planning or do you get enough xp for all your needs? not sure what the actual total of possible experience is, but you get dozens and dozens of levels. vague memories of someone in the last thread (xander77?) exhausting as much as they could and getting to like 100

Kraftwerk posted:How do the political alignments influence the game? I'm assuming you have to internalize the right thought cabinet thoughts? thinking of any of them as "better" is, I fear, kind of missing a key point. I mean, yeah, fully automated luxury gay space communism now, etc, but in terms of the game... in mechanical terms they give stat bonuses/maluses and enable related dialogue options when appropriate also you can totally get two, three, or all four of them in a single playthrough, and the game will comment on your incongruity

Vagabong posted:Does anyone know if there is any greater significance to the small shack you can enter in the fishing village? The one with the single chair in it, near the boat Harry wants to sleep under? It always gave me a really creepy vibe for some reason. disclaimer: I am only on the evening of day 2 in final cut so things might've changed since the original but this is a post I saved, I believe by noted poster "dead gay comedy forums," about that: so, it is a pet hypothesis but Disco's textual strength definitely supports it and its 'connectivity' (so to speak) is hella tight to allow storytelling by implication or subtlety along the game, you are given subtle hints by the major skills in that regard when dealing with questions related to what basically seems to be a very sinister, sadistic undercurrent of violence at the fringes of Revachol. Cunoesse. Illegal snuff millieus. The Besmirties, the high-level organized crime in the city, which is mainly referenced through the figure of La Puta Madre. If you have high enough Shivers, Inland Empire and Esprit-de-Corps, you get a couple of insights about questioning yourself about being corrupt that brings out to imagination a figure that likes to tie his peones to chairs near roses while they are pleading for mercy - IIRC there is a mention of that being recorded there. One Shivers check about the geography of Revachol when investigating Ruby - again, IIRC and my interpretation - implies about some nooks and crannies of the city having roses being irrigated with blood from torture. Finally, at the tail end of the game, I don't recall exactly when, there is another Shivers check that mentions a scene with some of the above details along a corpse bleeding with a square hole, which I hope that you have read the previous case files on Harry's ledger to go "omfg". (I am stretching hard my memory here but the figure mentioned also wears a bow tie, like the one you pick up there?) bringing all together, I would say that the empty room with the red chair appears to be an execution/torture spot by the Puta Madre (either the organization or the head, but the man with the roses is definitely involved) where they also record the thing for the milieus as a means to enforce authority through terror and get some money from sadistic fucks. The chair has red all over it and Inland Empire mentions that it is blood. With the knowledge that this part of the city is a bloc noir, as Kim points out, a corner of Revachol that does not exist in any public sense, organized crime can definitely use such places for any purpose like I said it is a pet hypothesis lmao

Kalsco posted:Hello, I'm playing through the game for the first time and loving it, etc. if I'm parsing this right, you're missing something, because I don't think you can lock yourself out of the union getting the body down. I assume you entered the harbor based on listing Measurehead in there. did you find Evrart? if "redoing the Measurehead thing to just knock him out" gets a game over, then... are you at 1 HP or something? have you figured out how to read the health bars and use medicine?

Kalsco posted:Interesting. There's a few things I think may lead elsewhere like the cobalt kitchen door and the "roofing material" covering a passage by the greenhouse but I have no clue what to do with the former and I'm skill-locked out of the latter. okay, cool. I can factually tell you that nothing "instantly killed" you, though. you have like 10 seconds to use a healing item before you health actually hits zero, and you can use it literally any time, including in conversations. in any case, the chief thing you haven't done yet that you could is getting into the harbor. there are three ways to do this. 1. internalize measurehead's Advanced Race Theory thought (doesn't necessarily mean you agree with him, just that you ponder it) 2. beat the poo poo out of him instead 3. find the door behind that pile of roofing material, climb up, and make the jump you can certainly just gently caress around instead if you like, that is as "valid" or whatever word you want to use as anything else. mostly I want to be sure you understand how to interact with the systems, eg. by leveling up a skill in order to reopen a white check.

Kalsco posted:Oh, right. Been about a day since I played and I think I forgot I was actually looking for Claire, specifically, to help with the body. ah! okay, yeah. DE's systems are pretty simple, but it doesn't take the time to explain itself super clearly. white checks are repeatable - if you try and fail, you can reopen the check either by leveling the relevant skill or finding something relevant out in the world. eg. you're looking for something, make a check and fail, but then you talk to somebody else who says "oh yeah I heard maybe it's in a closet," making the check reopen with a bonus labeled "+1 Got a hint from Martin Martinaise" or whatever in contrast, red checks are one-and-done. either you take the chance when you see it or you never do

I got to the autopsy, had a heart attack, and on my return back from my previous save, I managed to open up the shipping container at some stupid odds (i.e. I think my chance was like 8%? I failed my first time by) and met the light bending man. I'm dying. the real disco elysium starts here hot tips: quicksave is F5. the red/blue bars above your portrait are your health and morale, and there are red/blue pluses with numbers above those, that you click to use a healing item: the numbers are how many units of healing of that type you have. so if either one is zero, maybe go buy some drugs at frittte. nosaphed is 1 unit of health, drouamine is 3, magnesium is 1 unit of morale, hypnogamma is 3

ShakeZula posted:Yikes, I don't think I fared too well during the tribunal. Only two of the Hardies left alive, and I got shot a couple of times. I mostly feel bad for missing with the spirit bomb though, feel like that would've been pretty metal. Do my chances improve on any of that if I'm holding my gun? the spirit bomb is iirc a hand-eye 10 check, using your gun is actually harder at 12 you always get shot at least once, the last reaction speed 20 check is rigged so you always fail even if you somehow get a 20 or double sixes, and there's some minimum number of Hardies that die, 2 or 3

King Bahamut posted:How “mechanical” is this game, i.e. how important is it to have a well thought out set of skills to overcome the challenges it will throw in my way? I’ve read the guides for character creation but it’s hard not to think just max some and dump others to see all the way down one path, then play it again the other way to see those options. Is it “game-y” or basically a visual novel much closer to visual novel. you can make things "easier" if you know where to get which thoughts that provide what bonuses you want, but that kind of misses the point, and moreover an utter botchcop with 1/1/1/1 stats will finish the game just fine (and give you a reason to replay  )

I don't think there's more to pull from, but it seems plausible that Dei was in some sense a spirit, genius loci, whatever that had the goal of spreading Pale through the "vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it." because if Pale comes from the human mind, if something wanted to spread the Pale, it would try to get humans advanced enough to leave Elysium before the planet was consumed entirely...
