Ok, partially through a new playthrough, but doing it slowly. When does one get the chance to accept the political vision quest? I'm on day three now, but not seeing anything new... How does one trigger it?

No, he does a fantastic job at narrating, I just think myself and others would prefer more variety for the skill voices.

Bingo.

But I would say, I didn't like the v.a. for the tie that much. I always imagined them sounding like a sleazy Russian-accented guy (because of the liberal use of 'bratushka').

God this game IS good, isn't it?

I do find it interesting that the skills that introduce Moralism and Communism don't actually belong to the skill groups associated with those political movements. I wonder if there was a reason for that.

Edit: Or maybe I'm wrong, and Int and Phy are Communism/Moralism associated respectfully.

i bullied my friend into playing this finally and he’s enjoying it. i only did because he was being stubborn but it’s right up his alley.

i think i’ve played it 1.5 times but watched lots of ppl play it. SGF and Woolie being my favorite runs, both doing nearly everything in the entire game. SGFs run was about 65 hours and Woolie’s was 85 hours.

SGF

Woolie

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiSdC6Lp8c7OqzRpriFam1lARlD9zI_Gl

I really liked SGF's run, because every so often there was a dialogue choice so egregious it managed to break even their practiced aura of detachment.

There was another guy by the name of... Lyle Shnub who did a good LP, too. Had a few things to say about the representation of racism with their experience of racism.

Also, NORCO seems to have a narrator who maxed out their Shivers.

That's actually quite a compelling theory, especially as she arrived in Martinaise at roughly the same time as the mercs (I think? Not certain on the timeline here.)

I don't think so, I think she arrived a few months before the Mercs. Before winter. And the strike has only been on for around a month and a bit.

From what I understand, you need to pass specific high Authority and Endurance checks AND fail a low Conceptualization one when you first talk to'em, which unlocks the options to ask him about his job, which turns out to be a pie delivery man, allowing you to ask him to deliver one for you, which you can then get when you meet him later in Whirling-In-Rags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlWAEvK8h-U

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be sore tempted to try a pie like that, even if it was delivered by a cryptofacist.

I had major shock this morning. Disco Elysium had an update to add a dyslexia-friendly font to the game. I thought "Huh I wonder what that looks like?" and played through the first part of the Whirling In Rags.

I found out today that I have dyslexia.

And people claim this game isn't life-changing!
