Kalsco posted:Hello, I'm playing through the game for the first time and loving it, etc. You could try one of the other ways to get into the Harbor. There are three. You can speed up time by sitting at a bank, if kim is away. By reading a book or playing a boardgame otherwise.

I can't imagine anybody speedrunning this. Which is why I am watching the run right now. Day 1: Put on pants, Bum money from Joyce, read man from hejmdall for the whole day, briefly look at the body. Day 2: Pay Garte, re-read man from hejmdall for the whole day. Leave kim behind. Pass the checks with Titus and Klasje. Day 3: Get the Ruby quest, Grab the bullet from the shack?, do the mural checks, do the endgame. Day X: Go to the island without kim, listen to the whole boat song... go directly to the deserter. Chase of the phasmid. No idea what the bullet is used for, and no idea that you could finish the titus/klasje stuff without listening to the tape.

Vagabong posted:Joyce doesn't bend light because she's decieving Harry about who she is. I hadn't thought of this like this, but it makes sense. Anyway, I think the most important thing that distinguishes Joyce from the billionaires that she gets compared to is that she is that she is no longer happy with any ideology that could justify her riches. Both real billionaires or the rest of the board of WP. While she is the most obvious liberal character, she is almost a former liberal. She wouldn't be half as sympathetic otherwise. This makes it possible that she is lying here, too. What she has in common with Harry is that they are between ideologies, but utterly tied to their past in ways that makes them unacceptable to any true morality without a supernatural redemption arc.

Fister Roboto posted:It's more that Joyce is rich enough that she can afford to be a nice person. True. My point is more that Joyce seems to have transitioned from a normal billionaire life to being a bit nice fairly recently. Her Moralist ending might have her going on a Bill Gates style charity arc after the events of the game.

Measurehead is a minority racist. He wants to be a fascist, but the real fascists won't let him join because he is a minority. That is a group that is easy to make fun off, because they are unable to enact their hate in a meaningful way without the majorities support. But, if he ever got his own ethnostate where he actually got to oppress someone, he would no longer be funny.

One interesting thing about arresting her is that is that you can't arrest her for a good reason, even thought good reasons exist. You only know how harmful she is after you already talked to Ruby, when the opportunity has passed. If you arrest her, Harry is doing so for very bastard cop reasons even if the player might act on justification by knowledge from a later play-through. There is a smaller version of this dynamic with Gary. Where you can fine him for littering, possibly motivated by your dislike of his fascism. Which makes Harry into the kind of cop who uses such small crimes to punish people who he dislikes. You later find out that he stole that armor, but you can't change your decision then.

Bar Ran Dun posted:I think they say it’s relative wealth for this one. Harry’s bank account is nothing. Kim could easily be multiple orders of magnitude wealthier than Harry without being particularly wealthy. I mean, Kim doesn’t have to raise funds to not die of exposure in a dumpster. Harry used to work as a teacher, now he is a fairly high ranking police officer. He is middle class by every metric. He just seem poorer because he lives in a poor part of the world, and because he drank away all of his money. Hell, he is almost certainly debt free after he paid Garte. He is in the same moderate income, black zero wealth, lower middle class situation as Homer Simpson.

Nordick posted:Yeah, honestly I feel like if you're still thinking in normal video game conventions like "what to do before a boss encounter" at that point of the game, it's kinda on your own head. It is the opposite. RPG parties throw down a tent and have a bbq in the Emperors antechamber on a collapsing space station to get ready before confronting him. It makes less sense for a normal person. Kim has some strange dialogue there in order to try and make it seem like your powernap makes sense. Especially as the RCM doesn't feel like a pro powernap culture . I feel like it would flow better if you were sitting down to rest your leg and dozing of unintentionally.

"Picking no side" means siding with whoever is currently in charge, this has never really changed. You can pretend otherwise within the normal world, surrounded by people who benefit from the status-quo. And just go along with that normality. But in Martinese during the strike, at the edge of society, it becomes very obvious that there is nobody around who accepts that framing. Because there is nobody there that falls for the illusion of normalcy. If you return in a few years, "picking no side" in new Martinese might imply siding with Edgar, earning you lots of nods.

Moralism is Centrism. The game is absolutely clear about that. And ultraliberalism is their version of neoliberalism or libertarianism. I know many people can not imagine that there is a difference between people who oppose any change to the status quo no matter what it is and people who would want to create the current system if it didn't already exist. Disco Elysium is one of the few pieces of fiction where that difference is treated as very meaningful.

Kim is a Moralist disappointed with Moralism. But not disappointed enough to support change or even change his own lifestyle from his Moralist career. The same connection that Joyce has to ultra-liberalism. Leading to them both officially supporting nothing. Which is why they are both so appealing to the irony-poisoned who would never support anything.

Orange Devil posted:Also re: good people: They are centrists and thus satisfied with the status quo. Which makes them Moralists in the language of the game. They are loyal to the status quo and refuse any change like a Moralist would, they just believe that the Claires are currently charge. Their arguments for refusing to oppose (the moralist version of supporting if you don't remember), the Claires are exactly the same as Kim or any normal Moralist would give you for not opposing the Moralintern.

Samovar posted:Yes, the people who are supporting strikers who are deliberately rebelling against the working conditions imposed upon them by the owners of White Pines are keeping the status quo. No, the people who are supporting the Strikers are doing so out of conviction. They would and have supported the Strikers before they became the de-facto authority in Martinese. Gaston and the other people who are "not opposing"(TM) the Strikers are doing so because they have accepted them as the new status quo. They would and have supported the Moralintern rule before the Strikers became the de-facto authority in Martinese. e: I do think that recognizing that difference is part of the core message of the game.

Eiba posted:What the heck? They are not Moralists in any sense of the word! So you believe that there would be nobody valuing stability and decorum in a hypthetical world where Dolores Day never existed? Also, I seem to remember the game stating that saying "none of the above" to all political question is Moralist. Which means that Moralism as the game interprets it is centrism. I should look it up, but OK I am going to assume that the game never interprets "apolitical" statements as moralist. And in that case me calling Gaston and Leo moralists was wrong. I am saying that Gaston (and Leo) joined the Union for different reasons then people like Maneana. You are the one implying that one must be worse then the other. Or that that implies that they aren't normal. I am specifically saying that they joined the Union for personal and non-ideological reasons. And that Kim supports(supported) the Moralintern for the same reasons. And that is good storytelling and realistic characterdesign for them to do so. I am specifically arguing against people assuming that they could only support those ideas out of fundamental ideological reasons. e: and yes I do consider the fact that there are people joining political movements for alternatively entirely personal, local or ideological reasons an important part of the game, because most other works just insist there is only one possibility.

FPyat posted:Although maybe the joke is that academic types with an intellectual passion for radical theory functionally are moderates in every way. Not really. The zine writers, and to a lesser extend Roy, are academic types with intellectual passion for radical theory. When the time comes to say one of the fascist or communist things, they will say the communist thing. Trent is functionally moderate because he is privileged enough to be utterly disconnected from normal society. If he actually ever could be forced to say the fascist or communist thing or gently caress off, he wouldn't be the same person anymore. This is the main trait he shares with TSF.

I had assumed that some kind of posing function already existed hidden in the game-files. There was a tribute music video that used scenes that aren't in the game afaik. And the trailers also used posed scenes. And releasing such a mod mode to the public instead of doing anything creative is just one step below selling the game to Bethesda.

Yeah I find the napping motivation quite weak, especially as it unlocks such an important scene. I think Kim (or Motorics or whatever) should have called out Harry's leg injury specifically and asked him to sit down a bit to rest his leg. They might even call out how Harry was standing on the boat blasting Sad-FM putting extra unnecessary strain on that leg. And then Harry nods off after sitting down without direct orders from the player.

i actually like the idea of young witch story. Disco is clearly very different from a generic detective noir story so that children's fantasy would also have to quickly diverge from the genre norms. And a young witch spin-kicking a fascist sounds more realistic then a cop spin kicking a fascist. Arguably frog detective is actually pretty close to that recommendation even.

The ruins around the harbor are all occupied, so if there is constuction there they would also have to evict people there. What is actually more consistent with Evrart's character is that he refuses to evict Union member from their ruins, but is ok with evicting the members of the village which are unconnected to him.
