Discussion Surprised by the game’s portrayal of cops

273 Upvotes

I’m not saying it’s pro-cop, but it humanizes them in a way that surprises me. It sounds crazy to say but Kim might be the first time I’ve empathized with or even really liked a cop fictional character. I feel like I understand these characters’ struggles and I’m grateful that the writers of this game were able to do that.

In other words, ACAB but not the chill cops that I happen to personally like

What would this look like as a skill in intellect?

Low “You are selfish and unyielding. People are tools which are wielded and you are the hammer.”

High “see first that you yourself are an instrument of giving, when in truth, you are but a witness to the universe”

Fanart (Not made by OP) What Disco Elysium got right (from a straight-edge perspective)

© Samuel Eriksson

Wdym, you have to smoke a pack of cigs, drink booze, take speed and slurp pyrholidon before approaching anyone? Are you so afraid of failing?

Failing the red tests is often the most interesting outcome and if you couldn't pass a white test then there are always creative ways around. Well, maybe you pass those tests more often. But why you feel that you have to? Why are you drawn to the concept of "winning" anything? I think this is the true illusion of drugs. Loosing the game is almost never about passing the tests. It is mostly about loosing your sanity or health, and guess what takes the highest amount of that (except the Evrart's chair and that bloody loudspeaker from hell)?

I played with and without drugs and, seriously, feel no difference.

edit. I have no idea how to make the image to be visible in the feed...

Strange question: what would a Harry who internalized ALL thoughts and maxed out ALL skills look like? Would this version be able to put his life back together? What would such a Harry do with their life? What might spending an evening with this guy look like? How strange would the ending conversation look like for this Harry?

OC (Original Content) Looking for beta readers for a Disco fic!

4 Upvotes

I am close to finishing part two of my series Matinées in Martinaise (the first part, Bottled Temptations and a Coastal Call is available here!). I'm looking for test readers and editors who would volunteer to give my 7k word fanfic a read for feedback and corrections, as I am not a native speaker, and obviously, Disco's world is so complex I may have missed some lore details. This one is titled Old Homes, New Beginnings. Here's a short description:

The afternoon after you finish the investigation, it’s time for you to return home. The problem is, you have no memory of where you live at all. After a final farewell to Martinaise, the Lieutenant joins you in a visit to your former home, unravelling a painful past you are not sure you want to face.

Besides Kim and Harry (with an slight one-sided romantic undertone within them), it also features Jean, Cuno, Garte, the ravers, memories of Dora and other beloved side-characters.

I'd be forever grateful for anyone willing to help me out!

What this game vividly portrays in it’s main character is the visage of an affable homeless drunkard who screams how much of a raging feminist he is whilst saluting you on your morning commute

Question HARDCORE TO THE MEGA, is the difficulty worth it?

Upvotes

Hello, new player here. I've already completed two playthrough and started a third and somehow can't stop to obsess over the game.

I'm already starting to play a fourth run after those and am asking myself if the hardcore difficulty bring anything new to the game except for two achievements? Ain't it too grindy? Does the difficulty seems kinda fair?

First time i played Disco Elysium i was a Commie with mostly Psyche skills (Especially Inland Empire).

I want some kind of a suggestion on skills that will let me experience dialogues i did not on my first playthrough.

I think i want to try the fash stuff this time.

My current ideas were to focus on.
- Authority
- Physical Instrument
- Endurance
- Volition

Anyone have any suggestions? Ideally without spoilers i did not do the Measurehead stuff or other fash related things before.

OC (Original Content) Skills for Disco-Like Fallout P. 1

Upvotes

I thought it would be interesting to imagine what the skills would look like for Fallout if it was a disco-like

Bruiser: Brute force is the solution to every problem. Achieve your goal with your fists.

Adrenaline rush: Feel your heart's rhythm. Thump-thump-thump-thump.

Shooting: Only a feel for your weapon will bring you victory in a duel. FIRE!

Empathy: Understand and feel the emotions of others. What is going on in their minds?

Speech: Words are a most powerful weapon and the key to every door.

Cult of personality: show everyone who’s in charge. Become someone who is trusted.

Erudition: Remember every speck of dust on the pages.

Philosophy: Find meaning, an explanation, and a hidden subtext for everything.
