Pretty much you have to think of not exhausting every options as an actual choice as well. Compared to a lot of games where it would just be leaving something left unread.

Had the chance to play some this morning before work and now I'm staring at the clock waiting to play more. Doesn't help that I only just left the hostel before I had to stop playing.
You knock him the fuck out and he starts treating you differently after.
I wound up making him get the body down from the tree for me.
Bonus result:
This is probably going to end up being my GOTY.
Had one REALLY bad bug that wouldn't let me save my game and I lost like 3 hours of progress. That sucked. But everything else has been so goooooood. Only had to savescum once so far. Hoping to keep that to a minimum lol

I tested with a 3% chance one and eventually got it to work.
And I failed on a 97% percent chance one! So it goes both ways.
The game rolls 2D6 for each check. Double-one is an automatic failure, double-six an automatic success.
1 in 32 chance of auto-fail and auto-success. More nuanced than a D20 system already.
There's a thought that lets you zoom out more, if that helps. It's very thematic.
I'm not sure if I understand how this "thought" mechanic works. It's like learning skills by equipping them.
But then, there's also this internal thought that may completely wipe everything out with an "opt in". What the.

All stats related to my body are garbage and in never going to be able to inspect this body without ralphing
You definitely can with the right set of things done, I only have 1 Phys and managed to.
Went heavy into the suggestion talent although I've not really seen it effect anything. Maybe it's bad rolls on skill checks but my guy is a sorry loser at everything so far.
He almost killed himself failing to beak down a door but none the less I'm having great fun.

They're like perks. You gain them through your interactions and then spend in-game time to "internalize" them and gain their effects (mechanical and a a few extra dialog options in relevant situations).
You also don't really have to. Kim's just a big ol' nerd who wants to do police stuff and not see the bigger picture.
It doesn't come up as often as Empathy, but it gives you useful hints in dialog. Just talk to more people.
As others have mentioned the dialogue in this is just crazy in the best possible way.
I am really early on but it can fell pretty overwhelming at times in terms of density. Games just don't feel like this anymore.
Going to get my steam controller set up & make a good config for playing this away from the PC, really appreciate the text size option for this.

I see. Then what's the deal with the "opt-ins" then? I chose it once and everything is just wiped and I couldn't learn them again. For example, that volumetric shit compressor that's required for a task. I haven't completely internalized it and then it's just gone. I reloaded an earlier save after I learned that.
I'm conflicted on how I want to play my character on the first run.
I put a couple hours in last night trying to play it straight. Just generally being a sober (lol) personality fully understanding that I'm flawed as hell yet trying to make the best of it.
But man, some of the more outrageous & grandiose dialogue options are making me wonder if I should play a bat-s**t insane fool. Seems way more adventurous and entertaining.

That's how you unlock some of them, I don't think it should make them disappear after you've already unlocked them though.
Like if you talk about communist stuff, you'll get the option to get really into it (opt in) and then you unlock the thought cabinet project for that.
Haha yeah, I'm definitely already seeing tons of different threads I want to poke at when I replay with a different character. I'm roleplaying as a very earnest, very intelligent cop who is probably too emotional about everything and rather unstable but is doing his best to hold it together. I want to go back through as a meathead.
Early game question
How do I get into the harbour from the roofs? I went through Cuno's shack and they implied that I could somehow get into the harbour area this way but I can't figure out how
You have to successfully make the check to get the hanging coat.
So to put it simply, I shouldn't opt in to a new thought before completing all of my currently internalizing thoughts?
As far as I know opting in should just unlock another one and shouldn't affect the process of whatever your currently internalizing. Maybe someone can correct me here.
Hmm I see. There was probably something else going on back then, or it's just a bug.
I simply couldn't learn that volumetric shit compressor thought anymore. I wish I still have the save file and/or a screenshot.
Legit played for like twelve straight hours yesterday. God. That time flew by. Haven't experienced that with a game in a long time. I couldn't stop even when things got a bit fetch questy.
I was at the end of day two interrogating a certain someone, cutting right down to the very end of things, and I had multiple thoughts interceding with conflicting ways to proceed. And I thought that was exactly what this game was about. It was stunning. I truly didn't know whether to believe them or my own brain or not. It was astounding writing.
Right now I'm building up a super-sorry superstar 'moralist' communist cop right at the beginning of day 3, ready to explore the other side. Only have 4 real in my pocket so gotta scrounge for bottles to make rent otherwise I'll be hobocop too lol. Can't wait to get home from work and keep going. I have a feeling I'm gonna err on 90 hour side of completion with this one lol.
This is pretty much the exact follow up to Fallout 1/2 that I've always wanted. And you can see that inspiration pretty clearly even though this is obviously it's own thing.
Also I absolutely love how incredulous Ken or other characters get when you just say or do just the most wacky stupid shit.
Anyway, I can't stop raving about this game because it's one of those small inspired miracles like a Morrowind, New Vegas, or Planescape made by passionate and hard working devs that don't come along very often at all.
It's an achievement in the medium. Probably my GOTY

I love how you can decide to disregard aspects of your characters previous self. The more I find out the more it seems like he was a real piece of shit.
It's really an interesting way to shape a character.

I've played a couple of hours and I'm already considering restarting to see how things play differently. I'm trying to play as a super drug addled rockstar type but I feel I'm being a little inconsistent with the archetype. I know I just gotta push through and let myself be more fluid. No need to minmax this game or anything.
It's fucking fantastic so far though. I am loving it.

So apparently, you can collect empty bottles and sell them for cash by equipping a plastic bag. How do I get one?
Hobocop, the ultimate spiritual successor to Planescape's Nameless
Just in the first outside area you can find a yellow plastic bag on the ground. I can get a bit more specific if you want.
So ive never really played too many games like this, but I dropped 4 hours straight yesterday and cant wait to play more.
Butttt....I have no idea what im doing with my character stats. Think its ok to just wing it, or will i hit some impossible walls because i didnt spec right?

winging it is kinda this games bread and butter. you'll be fine
Found it, thanks. Here goes the start of my journey as a bottles collector.
This game is like really fucking good. I hope there's as much replayability as there seems to be, because I'd totally be up for another playthrough after I'm done with it.
Also, it runs pretty alright on my mx250. Hovering around 30 fps with max settings and 2x AA.

There are always ways around. Just role-play it and see what happens.
Sorry my hand has to hold my awful awful ledger of failure and hatred
