I'm 10ish hours in. Definitely on the high end of my RPG experiences so far

but yeah, some of the conversations veer one way or the other

I will say that the mechanics that they decided to use impressed me greatly already

it's a very unique system and does a good job of actually making it feel like non-combat stats are important

the thought system seems really interesting, as much as I didn't get a chance to explore it yet

Yeah?

My recent rpgs are Pillars2, DOS2, and Witcher 3

Yeah, thoughts are time centric bonuses you can obtain, and all your stats are used as part of the dialogue system

which is how you handle everything. Everything is dialogue, even interacting with random objects, or yourself

I enjoyed DOS2, didnt touch Pillars2 after bouncing hard off of 1

the other CRPGs I like are older

Pillars 1 and 2 is a strange beast. 2 is more accessible but simultaneously a lot more stupid.

I just found 1 really repetitive

The guy that did New Vegas dropped out of the writing halfway through

yeah I heard about that too

1 had a weird story and incredibly complicated but boring world backstory

I just really liked the Combat

And the story kind of grew on me.

I didnt like how dungeoning was handled. Maybe it got better later but the early game was like 6 rooms of the same encounter, fighting it in the same way, and having to heal every X number of rooms, which means using a consumable or going back to a permanent rest point
Wasnt especially attached to any of the characters either

Game lacked a main obvious story to work on

even that isnt really an issue for me to be honest. I love STALKER, for instance

I've beaten pillars in hardest twice now so...

So in Disco, you say you argue with yourself?

yeah, you have different internal components that are their own sub-characters

theyre tied to stats as well

was looking at the achievements for the game

yeah

traditionalist is a euphemism you're allowed to adopt for being a fascist. It's a joke "you" make with "yourself"

So completely new here. Fan from England. I've picked the right time though as I've got a fair few memes to share after our commie blowout of a general election.

was mostly referring to the fact that the centerist, capitalist, and fascist achievements are... decidedly more negative in their connotations than the communist one

I am done spamming.

I know I'm probably being overly sensitive, but it's just REALLY rubbing me the wrong way

tbh first and last seem pretty neutral to me. Last one is clearly joking. Rabid is maybe slightly negative depending on context. The centrist one is the most decidedly negative

devs probably are left leaning, because we're talking about artistic output regardless. Pretty sure the game was primarily written by a novelist and the team is from Estonia

@Cadarn top meme sir.
