I’m guessing I don’t understand thought cabinet well either. Is the goal of them just to give you exp for more skill points? (outside of the few that lend to a solution advanced race theory to get the corpse off the tree)
I think you have the wrong build JP. You need to start the game over and redistribute your points like a smart player would.
Like other people said, you’re overthinking it. Whatever skills or thoughts you take, they’re going to lead to something, and there are no wrong choices. Take whatever feels interesting, or in character, or is missing for a particular skill check you want to retry. If you feel like you making some critical mistake in dialogue or point distribution, just roll with it, it’s all part of (your version of) the story.
Trouble is that almost every other rpg trains you that rpg stands for strategy game. Then along comes this rpg, and it really, truly is all about role playing.
On the other hand, if @jpinard wants to roleplay an indecisive cop, I imagine that would work, too. :)
The other bad habit you’ll want to break is clicking on every single dialogue option. Just like in life, saying things or even asking questions can have real consequences.
I think I’m going to do a second playthru as a superstar druggie. For this one I’ll continue as the socialist apologetic who thinks he likes art.
Man this was so good. I want to learn more about the world we were in. The pale, the anomaly, how their world and its landmasses are situated. I shed a tear near the end when all my psycho babbling turned into something real and wonderful.
If you want the maximum world-building, try another playthrough dumping points into Encyclopedia and Conceptualization.
Funny how every bump of this thread makes me want to fire it up and play through it again.
Every bump of this thread makes me hope the console version is almost done. Come on, folks, it’s been a year!
Here you go, wish granted :
Wow awesome!
Woo-hoo! I assume Xbox as well? It hasn’t become a PS exclusive in the last year?
Jeez, March? What’s taking so long…
Actually, I looked it up, and not 'til summer '21, at least for the console versions. And yes, it’s still on the Xbox.
Just in time to make everyone have to redo their critiques and deep dives into Disco Elysium, haha. Not that I would complain about having Noah Caldwell Gervais talk more about the game’s themes and narrative.
Are you joking? I finished it two weeks ago! Grrr
Nice! Will have to revisit the game later next year then.
As for the other ports, yes, Xbox & Switch in summer.
According to RPS PS4/5 will happen in March with the other consoles happening in summer.
Ah. Well, that’s a bummer.
Is voice acting going to a positive here? I understood there was a lot of reading. Is that now a lot of being read to?
