I like that their advice for character building is less about classes and archetypes and more "pick your favourite fictional detective and try to emulate them".
Yeah when I heard inland empire compared to Dale Cooper I was like "This is the one I have to go with"

Ya.
Even the visual style of the text looks like a nice little reference to Planescape.
Your character is a noir Nameless too. Has a history in the city, doesn't remember his background or name, and now you're piecing together your identity
I think I might go for a Sam Vimes-esque build first. Good at understanding the criminal mindset, a streetwise scrappy fighter with a finger on the pulse of the city but perpetually stubborn, cynical and dour.
I wish there was a button that to click that is "Be Samuel Vimes"
edit: 30 seconds before me..

I predict Era is gonna meltdown over this one, lol.
1 day, ladies & gents!
This might be useful
From RPS, a character building guide: Disco Elysium skills & character creation: Intellect, Psyche, Physique, Motorics, and the 24 skills explained
Edit: after going through this, I think Drama will be my signature skill. I always like playing bluffers and fast-talkers in RPGs that allow it. Drama, combined with Suggestion and Reaction Speed, should be fun and counter my terrible drunken physique

OK, that settles it: my first run will be maximum Physique, minimum everything else.
I'm an untamed force of nature, a chaotic chimpanzee, a big dumb-dumb... but actually isn't the big dumb-dumb smarter than people who think they are smart, thinking emoji.
i was going to do this but unfortunately i'm a real-life idiot savant that talks to his neck tie :(
I've come down on either 5 fysique, 5 intellect + Espirit de Corps, or 4 fysique, 6 intellect + Espirit de Corps.
I'm so ridiculously excited for this game. I absolutely love speech checks, and watching some of the preview footage, the writing seems incredible. Succinct and witty.
It's been a minute since I've watched Psych, but isn't he the walking embodiment of visual calculus? lol
"[Rhetoric - Impossible 18] Persuade the door to open."
This game is going to be something special, isn't it?
imagine arguing with a door so well that it just opens for you.
i can barely convince myself to get up most mornings, to be fair.
I had a conversation with a cricket while at a drive-thru window last night. Fucker thought it was going to jump into my car, but I convinced it that it would be a terrible idea.
Intellect seems to be better if you want to favor a cop who can gather a lot of info while Psyche makes you better at deciphering and assessing information. I'm leaning towards a cop who (ideally) is great at bluffing and lying and manipulating people because he's pretty terrible at everything else
Will you have a review up tomorrow? Been seeing your tweets on the game over the last week
I'm thinking of going Physique 6, Motorics 3, Intellect 2, Psyche 1.
A drunk cop who punches and occasionally gives art critiques.
That should work right?
Wondering what to set as a Signature Skill, though.
Physique is already high, so, should you set it in one of the lower attributes?

This doesn't seem like a professional review, just someone with a blog. I associate these guys with Dark Souls and Sekiro walkthroughs and Wiki data, I didn't even know they had a news space let alone did reviews. It really just reads like a preview though, honestly, most of the review is spent explaining how the game is played and then offering up some examples. The only thing he notes here as a criticism seems to be the music,
…and the voiced dialog, which he thought was amazing and wants more of it.
(which is a silly request for a small development studio to provide for a million lines of dialog, so maybe the reviewer is new to writing about video games).
Which brings me to my own point, why did he score the game an 8.5 when the only things he didn't seem to enjoy were the music wasn't as good as it could have been and he liked the voice work so much he demands more of it? Were there bugs, did he have problems figuring out where to go? I don't mind an 8.5, it's a great score for a game of this size, but I can't figure out why it didn't get higher given his lack of (meaningful) concerns? He scores the Gameplay an 8 - again, not a bad score or anything, but what brought it down two full points? Did the reviewer run into issues with the gameplay?
I posted this on the review site as well as a comment, but it hasn't shown up yet so it seems they curate their comments.
