OMG! I'm about 20 hours into this game and I absolutely love it so far! I am confused about how "internalizing thoughts" work though, so I'm excited about watching this video. Thank you and consider me a new sub to your channel.
Yes! This game is so amazing--I am with you :) Internalizing thoughts is such an interesting mechanic--just set them in there and mull them over; with enough time, they will "mature" and you will get the benefits and maybe negatives that come with them haha. You can't really know what the outcome will be unless you look online, so it's a fun surprise haha
fair warning for potential switch buyers - mine crashed every hour or so and because the dialogues in the beginning are so long, it was basically unplayable. got it on xbox instead and it’s been fine so far!
Wow, thanks, YT's algorithm. I had absolutely no idea you've been playing Disco Elysium for so long despite being subscribed. Damn, when will I even be able to catch up with so many episodes...
You did not describe the passive check system correctly. These passive checks occur in the background. But there is no dice rolling. The game adds 6 to whatever your current rating in the particular skill is and tests whether your total equals or exceeds the passing threshold. For the electro chemistry passive skill check in your room, you had a electro chemistry rating of 6 (5 from base skill plus 1 from your pants) + 6 = 12 which equaled the passing threshold. This is why you received the extra dialogue. If you pass a passive skill check, the player will always know as there is always additional dialogue/information. If you fail, you may or may not know that the passive skill even occurred since many failures lead to no additional information or notification. However, some failed passive checks will yield alternative information. There are indications/cues in the game when some passive checks are upcoming. When the continue bar is colored (other than red), that means at least one passive check is upcoming. If the continue bar is cyan, an intellect skill passive check is upcoming. If the continue bar is purple, a psyche passive check is upcoming. If the continue bar is pink, a physical passive check is upcoming. If the continue bar is yellow, a motorics passive check is upcoming. However, the player will not know which particular skill is being evaluated in the upcoming check. Also, on occasion, multiple passive checks will occur in succession and the player may not become aware of these extra passive checks. Insofar as the red checks are concerned, if you do not opt to take them when first presented, you may not get another opportunity to try them as some of them disappear forever based on game conditions. Trying to pass all red checks in the game is not a desirable goal as the game often goes down a more interesting path when the player fails certain red checks. In fact, there are two red checks in the game which are literally impossible to pass, i.e. the game will ALWAYS declare them as failed regardless of your roll, even if you happen to roll a critical success.
It’s pretty incredible that it’s already in your top 5 games, especially since you haven’t played through the best part of it yet, in my opinion. 😛 It’s in my top 5 too. Have you played Fallout: New Vegas? It’s also very roleplay-heavy and probably my favorite alongside Pillars of Eternity. It would be interesting to see you play it if you haven't already.
Actually, I have now beaten the game for the first time. The videos just haven't posted ;) they will be coming soon. The ending was amazing. I'm not sure I got the best resolution, but I was happy ;) I have played fallout NV and loved it. It's my favorite of the modern fallout games. I did pillars too and it was great, but I left off after 15-20 hours because I was also playing underrail at the time and couldn't do two lore heavy games at once haha. I hope to return to it some day ;)
the problem with disco elysium is that its a point and click that becomes too esoteric for its on own good. Progress should feel natural and ongoing as the map opens
I'm thinking about throwing it out after 1 minute in game. Can't interact with anything...buttons do nothing. Seems like a buggy piece of shit so far. Hate that you can't control the character - WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!! Later: OK now I can play a bit but not sure I want to - the awful controls (Switch) make it a chore rather than fun. Interesting game but way too much to digest with absolutely horrible control scheme. My advice would be don't waste the time or money - sorry.
I was literally like you for first 15 20 min on ps5 last night i was like f this but just figured it out it works with right thumbs tick now i am hooked tbh its amazing gove it another go 👍🏼
Stick with it. First hour or 2 are really a _"do I actually want to play this"_ kinda fare; but the narrative concept is enough to keep me pushing on into hour 5.. I can definitely agree with the janky controls comment, though - but I play a lot of janky ass games 😂

@@DrIncompetent LOL! OK, thanks! I will take your advice and just see where it leads me in the game.

Oh wow, thank you for sharing this info! Glad it works on Xbox at least!
Oh man I thought my switch was just old. It’s been repeatedly crashing so I have to save constantly
Wow, thanks, YT's algorithm. I had absolutely no idea you've been playing Disco Elysium for so long despite being subscribed. Damn, when will I even be able to catch up with so many episodes...
Haha, yes! This game is just incredible. My complete playthrough will be posting soon, as well as more guide videos;)

Gostei da sua voz e pronúncia limpa, consigo te entender mesmo em inglês
So glad you are enjoying this series my friend :D
Great video, great game...
The cleanest, best pleasure
It is one of my favorite games!
Yes! It is wonderful ❤
It really is. I just couldn't believe the last few hours of the game--incredible!

This is the biggest draw back of the game

I have heard the Switch port isn't great :(
