so which one was your favorite/funniest/coolest skill character?
for me its Authority and Volition
>>
Who the fuck cares, OP is a reddit commie faggot.

I finally played this game after all the poltards convinced me to stay away for years. It's genuinely great. There's a little too much filler but the worldbuilding is incredible, it feels much more realized then any other vidya world, it could only be compared to proper literary fiction in that regard

i like most of the humor

>>719791153
It has great humor, obviously people will cherrypick stuff they don't like out of the 1,000,000 word count. Probably an obvious example but I thought it was funny that my super sleuth detective couldn't figure out that the smoker on the balcony was gay

i picked high intellect which is very good in terms of skill check amount but in tems of impact they are mostly boring, logic and encyclopedia gives you a lot of history and flavor text about the world but empathy,shivers,half light are maybe the more interesting checks.

idk what to recommend it's not really a game comparable to others. just pick what you feel is good and really roleplay as that to get the best experience.
>>
>>719790695
so why didn't they update the game with the finished skill portraits? did the artist finish them after the team had already dissolved and refused to pay him after the fact?
>>
>>719794065
I just want to play with everything maxed out so I don't miss any lore tidbits or funny dialogue.
>>
>>719794065
motorics in general are the least useful

>Contains one Red Check that will always fail
Makes my blood boil
I min/maxed the shit out of reaction speed and I still don't know whodunit in the Dick Mullen novel
>>
>>719794364
they re not finished?
>>
>>719794654
THAT'S the one that always auto-fails? Seriously?
Thank you from saving me from having to replay the game to find out the culprit. I guess the writers never figured it out either?
>>
>>719794743
only the intellect row is finished. you can see they are more detailed and colorful than the rest. though i'd argue most of the ingame sketches are better than the finished portraits.
>>
>>719794531
this isnt a 'minmaxable' game failing skill checks is part of the story and many are non repeatable. this is a -LITERAL- roleplaying game in the sense that it's designed for you to actually make decisions as if you're the fictional character
>>719794616
it has the least checks but lots of cool shit behind them, a motorics character is still interesting IMO

Despite the few checks I fucking loved Visual Calculus.
>>
I picked Encyclopedia as my main stat or whatever and all it ever did was spout verbose nonsense at me, while giving a good exp bonus. One day I'll replay and pick something less cerebral.
>>
>>719794531
You're going to miss out on lore tidbits and funny dialogue anyway by maxing everything out. Failure sometimes has more fun outcomes with more content than success, eg. Raphael Ambrosius.
>>
>>719795051
i like them abstract
>>
>>719794531
I did a cheated playthrough and it was very entertaining. There's so much dialogue.

googled the dude who made it. this is probably right the game will be one of a kind the studio fell apart and he doesnt seem to be working on another game.

or did i miss something? it's been 6 years are there any DE-inspired games?
>>
>>719795413
encyclopedia is at its best when it spouts some autistic trivia to use as a metaphor for the current situation.
>>
>>719790695
Inland Empire. And it's not even close.
>>
>>719790695
I only upgrade yellow and purple (?)

I like mental skills but hate encyclopedia lore dumps.

Hate the red ones, but I like shivers.

The sad thing is this is what roleplaying games in general are supposed to be like, not number go up simulators

not really all 'role playing video games' were initially is just games that took the ideas of progression from actual RPGs like D&D. i think one of the first ones was literally 'dnd' like half a century ago.

i think the idea of actually roleplaying kinda died with 3D games because there was so much work involved in making game assets,animations..... that the idea of having branching stories where players only experiance 1/10 of the game you made for their particular set of choices made it more economic to make 10 linear games than 1 branching game with 10 linear games worth of content.

there's some exceptions to this like telltale but in general this is what makes stuff like DE so unique is it's actually designed for you to mentally assume another character's mind and make decisions for it and the mechanics/point simulator is secondary.

>not just save scumming
the only things that really matter are shivers, encyclopedia, and inland empire for substantial passive checks

The closest I got to actually getting into this game was playing as the brute character and just going meat head brute force through every situation. the other too classes was just way too many words in each scene.
