Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

[Heroic Liberator]

Seems like all four of the vision quests give a new portrait.

Are you sure about this? Also, have you seen any of the other three if that is indeed the case?

 

[Ghulgothas]

Alright, I'm not sure what to think of what just happened.

Spoiler

Since my Raphael is also a moralist, I'll reload the save and do a moralist quest to compare and contrast. But I'll do it tomorrow.

Absolutely not, but I mean to find out. Larianshill 's photoset is good evidence, can’t imagine they’d go to the effort of making a new background for only the fascist path and none of the others. I absolutely have to see what reward you get for overdosing on ultraliberalism.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I recall that they've advertised the vision quests in such a way that it's implied that the type of content each of them gets is different. Some a portrait, others a new zone and so on. Too tired to factcheck it atm though.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is the skill portraits were not changed - the revised versions we saw on Displate were apparently just versions made exclusively for the merchandise and were not implemented into the game for some reason. The bad news is the skills all talk in that same garbage monotone with classic mode on, and it is indeed very garbage. That's not to say Classic Mode is "broken," though.

The skills don't talk universally in classic mode. They only talk when the game considers it to be "important," and what the game considers "important" is particularly scattershot, arcane and impossible to figure based on what little I exposed myself to. For example, the perception check for finding the keys isn't voiced, even though this is pretty damn important considering it's how you, y'know, exit the room. Endurance isn't voiced when you have a heart attack, nor is Pain Threshold when you turn on the fan light. Encyclopedia doesn't emit any sound when you fail the check to determine the origin of the expression, and the entire Visual Calculus bit with the window is unvoiced save for the line at the start. So this lines up roughly with how Hongweibing described ZA/UM's idea of Classic Mode a few months ago, but it's still royally ass.

I'm going to spend tonight giving myself a shotgun course in Unity modding, I'm flying by the seat of my pants with this one but I'm not settling for anything less than OG voiceover and damn if I'm not going to find a way to do it!

Unbelievable. How is it possible to fuck this up so hard. Whatever you think of it as a game, Disco is certainly a piece of aesthetic art. The scenery, soundtrack, sparse VO work well together to achieve that. And Za/Um sure did alot of unexpected things.
So why not go for broke and create a true masterpeice by a) getting a good narrator instead of that too basso banal boring fuck b) getting at least 4 different voices for the skill categories and c) put some actual effort into reading the lines
I am at a loss for words. The narrator/skills VO clashes so hard with the rest of the game it's not even funny.

I feel like 80% of codexer literally have this thought equipped at all times.

 

[AwesomeButton]

It was a hard choice between my current signature and this thought.

 

[Red Hexapus]

Someone on Steam suggested this video - a showcase of how some of the different voices in detectives Costeau's head could have sounded.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

At the end there will be a duel between Evrart and Joyce but René will kill both and the monarchy will come back.

wait what

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Objective evidence of the decline of Cuno:

This is very bad work indeed. How can you shit yourself so hard, ZA/UM? (((

godspeed

Cuno's new voice is more fitting for a PC game with professional VO. I couldn't stand to hear him shout like a spastic in the original version, even though I guess that was kind of the point of his character.

 

[Butter]

All the more reason to not use full VO.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

yeah, and combat with brainless power fantasy story is more fitting for a PC game developed by professional gamedesigners.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Has there ever been a "Definitive version" where developers haven't smeared shit all over whatever was good and original in the base game. Tell me that Cuno will revert to the old VO if I switch to classic mode?

PST:EE and Grimoire v2.

[AwesomeButton]

Piracy will save us. Trackers still have the non-"Final cut" GOG version. Up yours, crappy VO!

 

[PEACH]

they should've made a separate listing for the final cut in people's libraries like larian and inxile did instead of overwriting the pre-existing version.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Cuno is a little cunt. I got a lot of satisfaction out of punching him to the ground now that I am playing a character with a good Physical Instrument skill.

I hate his old VA and I hate the new one too. I wish I could disable the VA completely.

 

[Larianshill]

Playing the Moralist quest now. Hardcore mode makes the checks unreasonably hard, and I swear I'm about to murder someone - especially since a long dialogue and long, unskippable cutscenes precede it. But other than that, it's pretty cool, I like it better than Fascist.

Spoiler

 

[Jvegi]

I'm playing it for the first time. It wouldn't run on my integrated laptop before, but they've optimized the game it seems.

So it wasn't fully voiced before? Interesting. I like the VO. The lines are short and natural, waiting for the characters to finish talking isn't an issue ( as opposed to most other games). I'm playing it laying on a couch on a tv. It's nice.

How'd you get it to trigger?

 

[Larianshill]

Spoiler

After the third day, you go to sleep, and Limbic System asks you what you're doing it all for. Depending on your answer, you get a quest. To give a certain answer, you must have a corresponding political thought internalized - since I internalized Kingdom of Conscience and Revacholian Nationhood, I could choose between Fascist and Moralist quests.

Sounds like you're save-scumming it. Why bother playing on hardcore mode then?

 

[Larianshill]

I want the achievement, no other reason. Disco Elysium doesn't become any harder to beat on the hardcore mode, since the game basically plays itself, it just becomes harder to see new content, so I feel no guilt whatsoever.
