Disco Elysium spoilery thread

[ScrotumBroth]

Yep, I had that thought early on, which is probably why I passed the check. But it obviously doesn't count without having started the church quest.

No, I had the same issue in my first playthrough, I think there's a bit of a bug with that interaction. You need to have Kim disapprove of the discussion just after passing that check, and then ask him to move aside (another, easier white check, I forgot which skill) so you can discuss the pale in peace, then discuss the pale with Joyce, going through the entire tree. That causes the flags to trigger properly when you get the church quest. Otherwise you get the -10 modifier even if you're knee deep in pale lore.

another curious thing

Spoiler

in the church there is a shivers check that tells you Revachol will be destroyed in 22 years by a nuclear blast

Does anyone have the full text for that moment? I failed that check with a high phys character at like 97% on my run and just rolled with it

it sounds like I missed out huge if its the one moment where Revachol really speaks to you in a huge paranormal way

 

[Alpan]

(1) Yes but man does it cost you.

Are you referring to the detective Cuno path or something else? Always wondered if there were more interactions with Cunoesse in particular.

 

[Ensi]

So the firefight happened before I could ask Joyce about the pale and also tell Evart about shit etc. Am I just screwed when it comes to figuring out the pale and everything else? Feels like the game just got cut in half.

 

[HanoverF]

If you don't have a pre Ruby encounter save, yes.

 

[Ensi]

Laaaaaaaaame. I probably do but I guess I'll just do another playthrough after a while.

 

[simtam]

So, Disco Elysium could have made the tribunal and Ruby the first trolley problem quest that does not suck, amirite?
(with Kim talking Ruby out of suicide unless you interfere, and the obvious option to attempt deescalate the showdown by lying that Ruby made the murder confession in her final words)

And the whole island debacle could be avoided with bad weather preventing going there until after tribunal, couldn't it?
(that includes getting rid of the "final gift from Klaasje", unless she also suffers from amnesia...)

I call that a wasted opportunity.

 

[axedice]

What are the highest passive checks you could find? I had 12 logic and 12 rhetoric in the end, but I never saw a passive difficulty of 18. The highest for me was 16, so it seems to me 10 in a skill is enough to find and succeed at every passive check?

Oh my God, this is extremely sad detail that adds a huge amount of fatalism to the setting.

(listens to British Sea Power - Red Rock Riviera and crying)

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Well, anyway, Cuno would be 34, Kim around 60, and Harry would be probably dead from liver shutdown, so, I guess, they would have a full life until blast.

there is an impossible (it is called impossible, but i don't know if it was literally impossible or not) there is a visual calculus check on the rich man of why he bends light. i have very high VC too at the time (10)

 

[axedice]

Wasn't that a white check? I did not have enough visual calculus back then either, but I believe it gives you the köning-druger or whatever effect, you know the physics that bend the light around rich subjects based on the wealth ratio disparity.

I rather meant the passive checks, as in the ones that come up during dialogue where you don't roll the dice and always get 6. They later enable you to roll the relevant white checks etc

 

[Alpan]

Yes, that's an active one. I also haven't seen anything higher than 16.

In fact I wanted to go to the Island because I checked other places for visual calculus and I was still searching for Ruby: she wasn't in the village so Island was an option, I even romanced with the fisherwoman hoping to use a boat.
They also could insert more dead ends. Losing because no money for second day was an unrecognized game over, they should give you more paths that take you to bad ending (meeting with your team after arresting innocent people) and give a rare path with Island before tribunal.

You think Cuno will live to see 34, mate

Detective Cuno, please.

 

[Prime Junta]

Detective Cuno, please.

No doubt he will have a healthy lifestyle like the rest of the RCM.

 

[Tigranes]

Guys what if Cuno is, like, Cuno grows up to be just like Harry, man, and like, in fact what if Cuno IS Harry and Harry is Cuno, god damn Cuno grew up to be a Harry and now he's all out of disco dashed up on some shitty little inn, and he's gotta solve one more fucking murder, and guess what Cuno is there to help him out, and Harry's gonna help Cuno too, get him to come join the RCM you know, become Detective Cuno and shit, and grow up to be just like Harry, man, and like, what if Cuno IS Harry and Harry is Cuno and

Tigranes Harry recruited him into the wrong profession. Should’ve pushed Cuno into being a gym teacher—he’s got the perfect attitude—to fulfill Harry’s true legacy.

Hm, poor Cuno is only twelve and already meets another proto-Harry criteria - being completely fucked up in the head because of girl.

 

[Haba]

Cuno will be lucky if his head will be the only part that gets fucked up once Cunoesse is done with him.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

We'll never get the Jamrock DLC, right? (

 

[MasPingon]

I don't get why can I go to the Island only after 'final gift from Klaasje'? I used visual calculus on the window before and I even got a quest that told me ecxactly to go to the Island(it was one of possible sniper nest). But there was no way I could go there. Is it some kind of bad design choice? I cant find any good reason why the game stops me from doing it after I'm told to do it.

probably the only bad one.
