Started Disco Elysium. I held off for so long because it seemed depressing and the art style didn’t appeal, but then it went on sale. Yes, it is pretty depressing but I’m still enjoying it so far. Trying not to look into any information about it so that I can experience it unspoiled.
The dual was sooo obnoxious. I did an embrace run and the slayer form is pretty terrible especially in comparison. I think I ended up spamming invulnerability spheres and burning through Otto’s irresistible dance scrolls.
I’m on console and couldn’t find the sit this one out mod, so I enabled an added difficulty one that scales automatically depending on my party size. It works but fights are probably going to get annoyingly long later on.
I’m on my third playthrough. My second was dark urge and it was a lot of fun. I’m currently playing an origin run (Wyll) and more typically good. It’s fun since I’ve modded it to have all the companions with me. I’m only rolling six deep right now, but ladders are already annoying. Haha.
Are you doing resist or embrace? I think if I do a fourth run, I’ll do a dark urge resist with a barbarian, potentially drow, because I heard those options have a lot of unique dialogue.
I’m so glad you find it helpful! This is the first time I’ve watched something from Step Back, but it was an immediate follow for me too.
Thanks for the rec! Subscribed. If you can afford it, I also recommend Nebula which specializes in more long form videos. The UI still needs some TLC compared to YouTube, but there’s a vast improvement in content quality.
A bit of a beast in terms of the amount of information communicated, but it’s the best video I’ve seen in terms of providing the historical context behind the relationship between the US and Iran. I wasn’t aware of the insider trading bits but am 0% surprised.
I’ve tried to avoid day to day news on the war for my own mental health but have found long form videos/documentaries as a good alternative to staying informed without being subjected to rage bait type content.
The humor has been an unexpected joy. I’m also enjoying the music!
