I have
it goes in all directions

really? because I'm noticing a distinct lack of being able to push back against the far left stuff

you go through sequences of "maybe communist" "maybe fascist" "maybe ultralib" and then "oh you're just a normal dude"

hm...

honestly, the conversation that's really putting me off at this point is this one

yeah that was maybe the weakest one

I've already noticed several times where your only options are to deviate from the conversation or hard disagree and call people out for stuff

and considering I was at the sub hour mark, I find it hard to believe that the rest of the game wouldn't be the same

so all of your options are going to derive from the fact that your character is sort of a huge fuckup and a total hippie junkie, but after the first little bit I got into a good groove and now I rarely have 0 options I dont want at all

that's a fair point

you can just say "fuck the commies, monarchy forever" basically, and you'll get popup options depending on your stats

like being able to verbally dominate and intimidate people, or reacting quickly to some of the dumb bullshit that flies your way

the first one that really stuck out to me was that I could choose to call myself a feminist and berate the cafeteria manager, and I was just left there wondering how he even knows what a feminist is, considering that he supposedly doesn't remember _ANYTHING_

I dont even remember that one tbh

it's when the guy is talking about how he had tried asking the previous cafe manager out and she turned him down

if you press him on why she left the scene

did you talk to the guy on top of the gate? You get your fist faschy boy option that way

oh I see

you can actually play matchmaker there iirc if you botch an empathy check that shows up later

I guess I'll give it another shot, it's just left a really negative impression on me compared to how it was being portrayed in reviews and such

there's usually a lot more options than what's readily apparent, is what I've gathered so far

so you dont need to "pass" any conversation. You can just leave and do something else

normally I don't care about political views being pushed in media, but it feels like the game is pushing certain things REALLY hard

sure

Maybe you chose a certain stat or background option that set you on that path.

I mean, I literally only selected stats by that point

You didn't take the Leftist Cuck background did you?

wew

you can become a racial supremacist like 30 minutes into the game, fwiw

lol

Lol

do I just have to keep pressing on that discussion to do that?

the one on top of the gate yeah, except you're basically cucking yourself, because his race theory puts you at the bottom

there's other similar options though

like when your intestines try to sell you on fascism

'cause the writing for that conversation was cringy as hell

I mean, I know my head would explode if you could like, in the Conversation you just linked, be able to start talking crime statistics.

It's a fantastical setting but that would be a cool option.

honestly, the big thing that bugged me is that the game seems pretty insistent on telling me that the free market is bad

and then gives no options for me to say "no, I actually like capitalism, thanks"
