I was thinking of either Columbo or a Cumberbatch'esque Sherlock. The latter seems like maybe a 5, 4, 1, 2? Actually, emotionally intelligent doesn't really sound like good ol Sherlock. Maybe 5,2,1,4. Guess that would work for either of them. Already defeated by the character creation, every time.
Damn. I have a gaming PC that would have no problem running it, but it's in the closet because I'm super busy with rad tech school. I was gonna try to play this on a Thinkpad T460, which has integrated graphics with an Intel 520HD. I guess if I bump down the resolution I could maybe get 30fps?
This is so good.
1. Roleplay. Pick the dialogue options that make sense to your character.
2. Do not save scum.
3. Commit to your character.

BRAIN COP
I lowered everything down to the minimum. Was hovering between 25-30 fps I would guess.
god, i love this game but it really does run like shit on my laptop, even with everything dropped to the minimum. its not... debilitating, but i can imagine during any significant on-screen action itll start chugging even worse. trying to decide if i should just hold off and try to find a cheap gaming PC to be my inaugural CC purchase, or just muddle through. the game is so fantastic but it almost feels disrespectful to try and play through on this rig.
anyway, my stats to start are
INT: 2
PSY: 4
PHY: 4
MOT: 2
my signature skill was Shivers. i was going to go Inland Empire, but Shivers fit my character a little better. im really gonna try to roleplay and be true to character throughout, full on "hulking but emotionally savvy and mature brute" apocalypse cop.

INT: 3, PSY: 4, FYS: 1, MOT: 4. Signature was Inland Empire. Kinda struggling with the low FYS right now!
Int: 3
Psy: 4
Phy: 2
Mot: 2
Signature skill is Drama because my soul is fucking immense.
This first playthrough I'll probably just do what I feel like, but I can definitely see myself roleplaying characters later on. Intellectual, straight-edge cop. Total lunatic cop. Dumb brawler cop. Hobo cop. Hell, I'm looking at a "yeah, I think I can get down with racism" dialogue choice right now so might as well try doing a racist POS cop at some point too, if I can manage it.
Either way, the game is very promising after the first hour or so. The writing is immensely fun so far.

Y'all marks who want controller support need to get a steam controller already, amazing for games like this on a tv and what I'm using
What're you thinking for stats/skill of choice? Volition would be signature I would guess.
This is precisley what I'm going to do.
'I've given that viewpoint a lot of thought, sir, and reached the following conclusion: arseholes to the lot of 'em, sir.'
I want to go
Int: 4
Psy: 5
Phy: 1
Mot: 2

my guy is the most pathetic loser imaginable. even with high-ish suggestion.
"but what is money?"
"but what is money?"
Spoilers for the first 15 minutes of the game:
I rolled up a character that dumped both physical stats, woke up in my apartment hung over, turned on the overhead light, stared straight at it, and died of a heart attack in the first five minutes of the game.
This game is incredible.

Did the same but survived, because I got extremely lucky with my roll
On a deluxe edition
I know this is probably what everyone wants to know but:
what is a good stat allocation if I want the best sleuthing and conversation options? I've honestly not read up on the game other than this threadand reviews and I'm getting major paralysis at that initial stat choice lol

All skills are used. Some are hidden checks some are not. Even something like Endurance effects discussion. Half Light and Drama and Persuasion are good.
As are visual calcules and logic. However there is simply no best skill for many things
I heard this before but now that the game is out I wanted to confirm it - there's a language filter option, right? Anyone tried it yet?
I feel like I'm playing all the characters from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia combined, talking about the end of the world, calling myself a superstar, and learning I threw around a stuffed bird which "had it coming".
Maybe it's too early to tell but I don't think I've ever seen this level of writing in a video game. It's incredible.

I see what you did there
I'm currently not really sure how to spend my skills points since I don't really know what the cap is, how many skill points you can expect to get etc. I guess I'm gonna save them for now
Yeah. It even took me a while to realize you can zoom out which makes movement a bit easier.
I think I will go with:
Psy 4 (+ Inland Empire)
Int 4
Mot 3
Phy 1
Playstyle-wise, I'll keep most of my skills in check, but Psyche skills can go wild. Gonna go on a real deep mind odyssey.

Rhetoric: "Play it calm."
First dialogue choice: "I want a fucking drink, asshole!"
This is seriously amazing.
I'm not seeing an option for it, but the f-word (as in the homophobic slur, not "fuck") was censored in an early conversation so maybe those are censored. A lot of swearing so far, though.

Okay, now I have to know what a "panisiolary state" is. Does it just mean they're isolated and eat/grow bread?
