I don't think you can screw yourself. I think having a high stat and a low stat makes for a better roleplaying mentality at the outset. trying to be terse so I don't give anything about this game away!

It owns. Your character is a human who might subscribe to beliefs, but he doesn't embody those beliefs.

I'm starting up an apocalypse/superstar (I don't remember how well it handles hybrid copotypes, I was a capital-S Sorry Cop my first time), honorable communist with 4/4/2/2, but Shivers tagged because I had to. So the archetypical adventure game protagonist.

No Mods No Masters posted:I get it to an extent, but you could make the same kind of argument for most other skills yet the game won't punish you in the same way. In another way I like it in a way because I kind of went into final cut with the theory that motorics was a dump stat if there were any, but the lack of perception is particularly, appropriately rough I think there are some similar points where unrelated skills gate other skills.

The brief callback to the square bullet hole case blew my mind too. It's a very good, fun, and funny game.

I've gotta agree pretty strongly with just sticking it out and accepting the failures. So you can't examine the body immediately, so what. It becomes an integral part of your investigation's story. I can vividly recall the struggles of not getting the body down until the third day, and everything turned out just fine.

Ciaphas posted:I get your point and agree with it but, well, the word "just" implies that it's easy to accept failure, and in my case it's not - even when it's clear the consequences are either nonexistent or ultimately positive (or at least funny). Psychology thing. I can't say the flow works out for everyone, because I've only done one full playthrough, but when I hit a wall in one area I could always make progress in the one next door. When in doubt, consult Kim, and he usually will say something that gives you permission to check out somewhere else until you can get a skill point or whatever.

You should really leave all the preplanning to a second playthrough and just wing it your first time around. Follow your heart.

I don't think a single character makes it through the game without proferring an incorrect theory, skills and paranatural intuition included. It's cool that even the most strident skills at the most assured times (e.g. volition at the end of the Ordeal) have blindspots. Like in a bioware rpg or whatever, the Godly skill check success would serve you up the optimal quest solution, but in this game you have to scrutinize even the triumphant epiphanies you have.

That's so you get the dope low-volume whirling in rags theme from upstairs and then when you first descend into the wild world of disco elysium the theme fully kicks in and takes you away. No I don't think that's the real reason, but that was a cool moment. Same with stepping into the streets and hearing the martinaise theme.

Phobophilia posted:Question to people who have finished the game multiple times: are there two different outcomes to meeting the phasmid in the ending and using Inland Empire? My interaction using was beautifully haunting, here I was conversing(?) with a strange alien creature, innocent of all the madness of civilized Innosentric society, interrogating our meanings of our shared evolutions. If its pheromones set the Deserter over the edge, it was an accident of biology. And it is a tragedy that we shall all share the same fate under the weight of the Pale. I'm not sure what you're talking about. That would be a cool thing to happen, but I've only heard people refer to the experience you had.

DE being a product of PnP gaming makes me believe even more that a wacky ironic reading is possible for it. This game doesn't shy away from any level of profundity or profanity, and the vibes all unite for me.

Cyberpunk 2077 can't sniff one hundredth of Disco Elysium's poo poo. CDPR, and its army of underpaid writers, wish they released something with anything to say that mattered as much as a single scene in Disco.

Wafflecopper posted:Just finished this and... it was alright I guess? The writing wasn't terrible but lacked DE's emotional weight, interesting characters, humour, and any social commentary beyond "giant corporations are exploitative." Not sure I'd class the soundtrack as a "banger" either, it was just sort of there, ambient and inoffensive. I may be wrong but I don't think choices you make during the game have much impact on the outcome, mostly it comes down to which ending you pick. Maybe you can rule some of them out if you don't help some people earlier but as far as I can tell that's it. I got 8 hours out of it, saw most of the endings by just reloading and picking a different path at the end. I don't see any reason to replay. If you're really into Disco's whole interactive novel thing and want more of the same even if it's not as good I'd recommend it, otherwise it's pretty missable. Disco is just too good. Try nier automata if you want something as classy and cool and effortlessly brilliant

As amazing and deep and well thought out as the DE world was, maybe it's better that we only got this one crystallized version of it (and maybe a cash-in sequel and tv show? sigh). I'm pretty sure Kurvitz can whip up another idea worthy of his team's efforts, given another 5 years or so.
