Switch release is slated for Q3 right? Was hoping to dig into it soon but if it's down the line, I may do my artsy himbo who is totally deaf to everything going on outside his own skull 5/1/5/1 on my PC and save another playthrough for then

I'll admit I really miss Christman as Hardy...his faltering yet insistent defiance that wilted under more direct questioning but never veered from the core of looking out for the people important to himself and union was really well portrayed by his mix of being awkward and aggressive, something that doesn't really feel like it carries over into his more "in on it" redneck drawl every other VA change has been neutral or an improvement imho, at lease that I've run into

I guess I'll be just reloading until the dice roll right because I don't see any other way to get there now. Selling bottles and items wouldn't give me enough unfortunately. I was trying to be a good hobo, collecting bottles and saving money but alas, it wasn't enough Pawn shop is open, you can sell everything you own there if you've been puttering around gathering and taking things in

I don't think it would have the morale hits if the game was taking place somewhere psychotic nationalism is widely lauded, and there are many, but it's not. It's taking place in a city colonized by a diverse coalition of holier than thou foreigners whose opening gambit was to destroy the city and then take all its stuff, and most anybody a Revacholian fascist will run into will not be fascists and will not like what they are saying. The communist thought gets to dispense of this issue by acknowleding that communism is about failure and it was defeated BUT there's obviously a latent desire for it. Fascism doesn't even have a big dramatic loss to hang onto

I'd assume not, but I'd love a way of getting the achievement relevant to my spoiler, in the same playthrough! I'd assume not, that comes after getting your poo poo together and doing the external examination and I dont even think you have the chance until it's down and about to go into the bag That said, its frankly heretical to think you need anything but a single shoe, no pants, a frog hat, a silk robe, and a mesh t shirt

Possibly put some more thought into the build I'm going with and what ideology/vision quest I'n going to be going for. I usually recommend inverting the stats on the 2nd playthrough, so in your case 5 2 1 4, and just pick whatever grab bag of ideologies and whatnot pops up for you or that you didnt run with before.

Evart is definitely a Huey Long type, someone it's always fun to think about how they'd be vilified if they were around and doing there thing today lol the absolute image of a "results-oriented" person leading a coalition based essentially on Maoist lines, the slogan also gives it away or makes it a huge coincidence. There's no way the union could ship more drugs than the capitalists at least, and it's not like he's sending death squads to march around the Moralintern's territory terrorizing people

Cpt_Obvious posted:I took it as sarcastic I might've been whooshed there but it's a pretty common talking point I think the most you could say is that the game seems to think that communism is the best among flawed options, but even that ignores that the ultralibs were allied with the commies in the revolution. It really portrays the moralists as huge monsters but like, look around, that is the world they built. They rolled in, killed everybody they saw until people stopped fighting, blew up a few blocks, got the mineral rights, and hosed off. Joyce and Sunday Friend will both be happy to regretfully inform you of the necessity of all of this

I think the big difference between right wing libertarians as we know them in the US and ultraliberals in DE is that in the latter, they seem to be coming from a place where they acknowledge the system is broken and screwing them. This opposed to thinking the system is fair and working as intended, and anybody who is screwed probably deserves it. It's basically the only reason they'd side with the commies even if the alternative is a degenerated monarchy. Also it sounds like the king was hogging all the good blow

if he truly is a Hotep, there is no dissonance there. Race mixing to a lot of them (there isn't a single agreed upon doctrine here or anything) is only truly bad when it's women doing it, as men doing it is "planting a seed" or something and is actually an act of rebellion If he truly does seem conflicted about it, odds are it's because he genuinely believes both things and that bothers him and it bothering her bothers him He has the same sort of dissonance about Evart but it clearly doesn't bother him as much, as when Harry brings up Evart being a fat slob ham sandwich man his only response is to stop being vulgar and that Evart is a good man

The breakdown of who would and wouldn't be allies at the end also hints at how its breaking down. It's worth noting that the original revolution had the ultras siding with the commies and the union reveals a rainbow coalition character so it's probably a messy amalgamation, same as all actually successful revolutions have been

LRADIKAL posted:Got my wife playing it. She's not a video game person at all. Has some interest in DnD type RPG, and tabletop and some experience in each. Got her started, she chose the emotional default character. Started out hardly being able to walk around, still needs to look down for the A button on the xbox controller. She played for ten hours yesterday, completing the first day. I gave her almost no help past initial getting started and keys and whatnot. Still hasn't gotten the body down, or even spoken to Measurehead. Did go through a lot of the Doomed Commercial Area. She's going to be a moralist, sorry cop, it looks like, though she's getting a bit more aggressive though, thanks to her fairly high physique score. She likes the horrible tie, for sure. She did get a bit upset at how the game is complicated and esoteric. I told her that, yes it was, and I still don't know how everything works, but that she is doing fine. She has mastered the Jamrock Shuffle, and figured out that like every bottle you can see, you can pick up, which I never realized. LISA

Measurehead had really strong hotep/Jakub energy to me, but of course no character is a 1:1 parallel to our world so it's a blend. Definitely the extremely online variety of every tenancy that makes him up tho. My favorite factoid about Measurehead is that the actor who was reading his lines couldn't stop cracking up the whole time as he was reading them, which I definitely understand
