[agris]

tfw you realize the devs are testing various builds against random codexers

Hey, Rostov wants you to finish the last NPC character model. You don't want to piss off The Professional.

 

[Prime Junta]

No, is a good policy, anyone mentions reindeer and I'm so reporting them

 

[fantadomat]

I am not amused *updated my .txt*

I fix it for you mate.

man the inevitable codex backlash against this game is going to be glorious.

I´ve arranged for a kill switch with my internet provider.

 

[frajaq]

Only thing I'm worried about the game is length, and even that is a very personal opinion from people to people.

the edge-lords are already sharpening their razors. got a plan for that:

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the forums, we shall fight on the shoutbox and the discord, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Elysium, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this studio or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our storyfags beyond the seas, armed and guarded by British Sea Power, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, The New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Kyl Von Kull take your benzos, you'll regret it later if you don't

people make much ado about game length, I want to know about its girth. what say you Kasparov, has disco elysium been endowed with breadth to match its depth?

I'm not Aweigh, man, I take my medicine religiously. In fact, I may have accidentally doubled up on my Provigil this morning, which would explain a lot. I'll knock myself out after close of business--in the land of the free, May Day ain't no holiday.

This is getting so weird. Let's stop this before there's no turning back.

I believe there's no turning back for you, Casper.

Do you misspell your own mother´s name as well?

Dude you are just embarrasing yourself. Try to behave, this is the RPGCodex after all goddamnit

Time to ready our quills.

I went and looked at the original and the new cafeteria screenshots side by side. I thought it was gorgeous when I first saw it but they've taken it to the next level.

Eh. I'm not sold on the smudgy, washed-out style of the new version. Squint and you can barely see the protagonist is there at all. Give me the harsh shadows and heavy saturation of the original look. Watercolors are for children. I do like the larger bird though.

EDIT: You know, Wasteland 2 included a saturation slider right there in the options menu. #justzebrathoughts

Kalarion Obsequious Approbation I have duly edited my earlier post. Please consider rescinding your #badspelling ratings. Thank you.

Joke aside i will play the game and judge it fairly,if it is good i will even buy it.

You can always crank up the sat on your monitor.

The character models look a lot less smudgy in the first picture. Esp. main character. He looks washed out in the second one.

Also you can always play Fallout 3 and larp it as masterpiece. In the end it's only problem with hardware in your head, just tune it up

I think you're agreeing with me. The first one is the original art.

I disapprove of having to change my settings to see the most evocative version of the art!

Of course the true solution is to have several variations of all art and display one based on protagonist stats (e.g. higher saturation for a character on drugs, sharper contrast for a character with high perception, etc.)

Yes, I was agreeing with you.
