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

Spoiler

I supposedly obtained a key to the basement from Claire's Latino lackey. I can't open the door, they're still grey. What am I doing wrong...? Or is it a fuckin' bug.

Heeeeelp buuugs.

So my options were to reroll and lose 11 hours of progress, or to edit my save file and give myself enough money to cover the hostel room. I did the latter. Not sure why you guys designed it like this. At the very least, having the Hobocop thought should allow me to sleep on the streets at the cost of not getting a health/morale refill.

I agree, there should be a use for Hobocop here, but at the same time, if you can't make rent your money management is spectacularly bad.

So all those descriptions of skills are basically bullshit?

Skills are situational. It wouldn't be humanly possible to script everything. So going on massive extremes can lead into situations like that.

And the thing is, if you fail the checks in the background, you won't even know that you failed.

Yeah, i guess the only way to make low level skills manifest themselves with their system is to make every failed skill check have some kind of consequence in the dialogue, which means another 1 mil words

You should also be aware that the save system is bollocks. It deletes/overwrites old saves. If you start a new game, you need to copy your saves. Corpse investigation + autopsy burned all of my saves. I wasn't able to reload before the investigation started.

How original. A communist game promoting the extermination of white people.
Not even worth pirating.

I managed to get 130 from Joyce, which covered my initial debt. I failed to get money out of everyone else. I collected all the tare bottles and redeemed them for a few bucks, plus found some money lying around. I wasn't able to get into the locked shipping container. I sold all my shit at the pawn shop for a few bucks, but I had to buy some medication from Frittte in order to not die.

Another review, 10/10 this time. Not gonna paste, this is getting repetitive.

Are you just going around searching random blogs from nobodies now?

 

[Shadenuat]

so far from all not planescapes this seems like a better one. big part is probably because it's satirical and has sense of self irony.

Popped up on my Twitter feed.

Get over it already, critics like it. Both giant mainstream ones and obscure blogs from nobodies.

You mean this?



Isn't that British Sea Power?

Nope, not that one, the one playing after you wake up in the beginning of the game and go downstairs where you find Kim waiting for you, the manager etc. I can’t remember the name of the cafeteria/hotel ugh

The song plays whenever you are there, looping from the beginning. It’s quite characteristic but I suck at describing music.

It's from a band yes. We will get the music DLC later. I forget the band name.

>Music DLC
Are there any meaty DLCs planned besides that?

Agreed on this point alone. Not going to dive into the dozen other topics here but this irked me. Money is not easy to come by so 20 quid a night is exorbitant in a game where you can't 'grind' money in the typical RPG fashion. At the minimum, in such a dialog driven and skill-centric game you should be able to sweet talk the owner into lowering that number massively or simply getting it for free with a high enough skill check. This was one of my major annoyances and the fact that it happens -every- single day makes it doubly as annoying.

But you can.
And I find an another easy way to pay the room.
If you don't mind spoiler...

You can talk to the old, rich lady with the boat, and beg her for 150 réal

It also happens only for the first two nights.

Anyway:

The Codex: This game has no challenge, whaa.
Also the Codex: I failed to make rent and now I can't progress, whaa.

This bug may be cockblocking me, any help?

Which doors am I supposed to open.

- Content for low INT builds is incredibly half-assed. My 1 INT cop somehow understands Latin, French and the voice in my head speaks like an academic. So much for endless roleplay possibilities, lol. Similar to PST and Numanuma, talky builds are the way to go and everything else is pointless filler.

- Likewise, health/morale mechanic is just bad. I'm sure it was added because they realized game is too easy. But dying in wacky ways was only amusing in the tutorial area, after that it really gets old quickly. So you either keep your h/m topped up to remove any resemblance of difficulty or you enjoy such nonsense as your character kills himself because he couldn't push random door open and it made him sad.

I agree with both these points tbh

I went with a 1/2/5/4 build, a very physical, very dim, not very good with people character, and I was surprised by how well I managed to solved most cases even with a significant low amount of Intellect skills

INT is book smarts or autism. Low INT means you're bad with abstract concepts, deductive reasoning, trivia, complicated arguments, and deception. It doesn't mean you're brain dead.

You guys should read the FYS and MOT skill descriptions. Five of the six motorics skills are mental as well as physical, everything but hand/eye coordination. Same goes for Shivers and Half-Light. You're not really dumb as a rock if you have high perception, high reaction speed (explicitly mental as well as physical), and high interfacing (great with machines).

Which doors am I supposed to open.

It's northeast of Cuno, right past the fence. Not the door in the center of the apartment complex, but the basement door to the right of it.

Codex isn't a monolith guy. I never said anything about the game's challenge. I will die on this hill though. Making it literally impossible to progress unless you manage your money perfectly or have the correct skill build for begging is retarded.
