Reed shivers: h ttps://pastebin.com/VVqrhteV
---------
What DE skills would Anon spec the most into?
-
rhetoric and inland empire maybe?
probaly mostly depends on which ending of anon we're considering
-
>rhetoric and inland empire maybe?

i can see that

>probaly mostly depends on which ending of anon we're considering

yep. but I do see anon having Empathy as well
-
can't believe I didn't think of empathy myself, he actually does fit that probably the closest honestly. what do you think reed fits into? I could see inland, empathy, DEFINITELY electrochemistry, interfacing,and maybe shivers?
-
Never played DE
What the hell are you talking about
-
>>59416699
>interfacing,and maybe shivers?

that fits anon

>>59416772
we are talking about the Skills of Disco Elysium, it's a really good game
-
like anon said, disco elysium, it's a fantastic game, and if you have any interest in it, you should play it before looking for any discourse on it. it's best experienced blind and with a blank canvas so you can form your own opinions on it. the biggest piece of advice i can give you is that failing a skill check isn't always a bad thing

>volcaldera bluff itself is alive and wants anon together with fang
Would read

same here

>shivers
>volcaldera bluff itself is alive and wants anon together with fang
>Would read
>Same here
The idea of the metaphysical concept of a town desperately wanting anon to hook up with Fang is hilarious. Naomi has nothing on Volcaldera Bluff.
-
>takes a massive hit of carfe
>"reed those two are gonna f-k or Im sending that meteor"
>reed looks around for who said that
--
good looks for that, anon, i'm terrible at writing but it's a fun idea to play with, and the style of the voice gives a nice framework for storytelling
What do you guys think fang and trish spec into?
-
>>59418305
>Fang
Conceptualization and maybe Pain Threshold, given her artistic leanings and her self destructive behaviors if you don't properly steer her. Hand Eye Coordination if you want to be really funny.
>Trish
Half Light and Authority. Given her paranoia towards anything threatening Fang and how agressively bossy she is, those are the two that fit the most to me.
>>59418340
>A wispy, familiar rings in Reed's ears as he takes yet another hit of carfe.
>"Take Trish away for a while. Anon and Fang need some privacy after what happened."
>Reed shrugs. Who is he to deny this voice? It seems to care a lot about Fang.
>A friend of Fang is a friend of his, after all.
-
meant to say "familiar voice", eh, too lazy to delete. You can also add Savoir Faire to Trish, given what I remember of Savoir Faire, it's the skill associated with the capitalist mindset. And every change she wanted in the band was based around money and making the band bigger and more cool.
-
Youre pretty sharp at this whole thing anon, I'd have to agree with everything, and maybe throw in drama for fang, considering her wildly different personas depending on the circumstances, as well as performing(stagecraft etc.)
--
I feel like for Trish is maybe Endurance or Physical Instrument but I do see Half Light and Authority.

as for Fang, i want to say Drama and Perception but Conceptualization and Pain Threshold works as well.

also Hand Eye Coordination sound funny, I like that.
---
nice. now it make wonder for the other characters in the game.

I feel like Naser would have Logic and Volition or Empathy
-
I could definitely see him with logic and voliton, physical instrument too? he has quite few scenes where he's either hitting or threatening it
-
yeah.

so Naser build is: Logic, Volition, Empathy, physical instrument, and Suggestion?

does that fit him?
--
So Reed would be a shivers, inland empire, conceptualization, endurance and electrochemistry build?
-
Sounds like a pretty fun Disco Elysium play through to be honest, although I would argue interface over concept only because he handles so much tech throughout the game, and if you touch those cables youre f-ked, and his songwriting can be butt lol
-
I think that all tracks with the most points weighted into logic volition and physical. Naomi build intrests me too, I'm thinking drama, suggestion, volition, logic, and definitely some strong half light in there
---
Never played DE but this sounds dope.
I already know the answer but is it worth playing?
-
If there's one game that I could force people to play just for the story, it'd be DE, (or planescape torment), I think you'll really enjoy it :)
-
yes, it's a really good detective game. that all I am going to say because I don't want to spoil anything.
---
>Anon using Disco Elysium bullsht to survive through being a war/army journalist.
>He's schizophrenic all of a sudden but his schizo hallucinations warm him about landmines so that's cool.
-
>inland empire anon
>avoids all danger while in combat
>but is cursed with the knowledge that a meteor will hit and there's nothing he can do about it
-
>PTSD, Ancient Knowledge, Hallucinations that do things that hallucinations CAN'T DO all balled up into one ex-loser war vet.
Sounds like hell.
>The only reason why he hasn't welcomed himself into the sweet release of death via sampling buckshot is because of Lucy's love being a lighthouse amongst a dark stormy sea.
>That and he's met the grim reaper, and the dude's a massive as shole.
-
>This Anon becoming a police detective under Ripley's tutelage.
>Has to balance his work, health, and his love life/love of his life.
>And Lucy just excitedly surprised him with the news that she's pregnant.
FUND IT

>Thought unlocked: "The Home of Sapience"

>Problem: "Alright, you're a *human*… What does that entail, exactly? Before this culture festival thing you've never given this subject much thought beyond racially-charged shtposting on Graadian cryptozoology forums. Of course, we're all *supposed* to be equal, but look at them: scales, fangs, sharp teeth -- all made to kill. All this while you walk around all *soft* and *pink*, like an unshelled shrimp. And it's not like they are oblivious to such intrinsic differences either, that much becomes clear whenever Naser opens his beak. When did it start and where will it lead you?"

>Temporary bonus/penalty:
-1 Espirit l'homme -- Wayward Son

>Solution: "It started with fire. It started with rocks being made into triangles. It started with the unstopabble drive to *change*. Look around: it's all built by dinos, but how much of it have they *designed*? Let them call you a spear chucker -- you're proud of that now. That's what your kind's been doing while they were ripping each other to shreds over Tree Stars. Go on, Son of Man. Reflect upon it. Take pride. Carry it on your back."

>Permanent bonus/penalty:
+1 Espirit l'homme -- Unbreakable Connection
+1 Logic -- Birthplace of Thought
+1 H/Y Coordination -- The First Workshop
-1 Empathy -- Not Quite Like Yourself
All Anthropocentric Dialoge Options Heal 1 Morale

Somewhere, Discoanon is smiling
-
>Disco Elysium talk
>nobody mentions discoanon
For shame.
-
i never hear of Discoanon before, who is he?
-
I remember there being some collage posted about DE/Snoot stuff with pics of Anon as Harry, but when I found it the quality was dogsht. Anyone have a better version of it?
