@@sxXPaulusXxs As someone who beat up Baldur's Gate 1~2 and played Planescape Torment, the problem with it, in my opinion, is that it's based on older systems of D&D.

In this case, however, Savoir Faire is the ability to do things that are dexterous WITH STYLE. Why just kick a guy when you can do a FLYING ROUNDHOUSE KICK and really wow the people around you?
I tried to start watching blind play trought of this game after i finished it but i felt like most people that i tried to watch were so stupid that it frustrated me to watch them play. Not you thank god, you wouldnt believe how many people didnt even get what giant ball and tiny apes even meant.
I don't think nearly anyone I've ever watched play this has noticed that. That and the globes around their head. It's so frustrating when you've played the game yourself.
This game type is not everyone's cup of tea, it certainly wasn't mine either but I started playing and couldn't put the controller down. This is a game for the record books !!
The narrator is great but the problem as someone who played before they added him is that he voices the different aspects of your mind and it's all the same voice; when I first played they all had slightly different voices and tonality in my head, electrochemistry jittery and screaming for cigs and booze or authority almost a parody of Stallone in judge dredd commanding me to arrest people, kinda lost something to have them all voiced the same but thankfully you can switch it to psychology mode which resolves that!
First time watching someone play this game since I've heard tons of great things about it. Was ecstatic when I found you had done a series on it! This should be a fun journey with a genius skinny fragile jerk!
The standard version of the game works better for a let's play since there's more to read, but I'm super glad I got the Final Cut that voices everything (really well).
FINALLY got around to play this game after passing on it since it came out because its visuals, gameplay and genre are ALL the things I enjoy least in gaming - except its story. It‘s one of my favourite games of all time now. Also means I got 50 hours of quality Keith content to watch now, thanks! ...WOW this game is so much quieter in the non Final Cut version. Also when you made your argument against high psyche, I felt bad about maxing it out in my playthrough, but after seeing the dialogue with Klaasje being almost half as long as mine, and more than half as dense with information, I'm very happy with my decision. Empathy just adds SO much interesting perspective, and with how diverse the skill landscape is in this game, it doesn't actually open all the doors for you, it's mostly just additional, but particularly interesting, information.
I could see that one coming. Finished the game, i felt like it was made for your channel. I have no idea why more channels aren't covering it, it's one of the best Rpgs out there...There's almost no content of it on youtube, so sad. It's extremely well written and paced, although i felt like they ran out of money and rushed a bit near the end. And the art...oh...i want to kiss it.
I love how he goes from “We’re stuck with this guy?” when first meeting Kim and then immediately goes “Oh… He’s stuck with me now…” after the conversation is over.
Oh man I don't know anything about this game and only knew about the cool art and some high praises! But the dialogue and the flavor text is so funny n refreshing and is actually interesting. it's like reading a book in game format. Lovely playthrough so far, was very tickled by the first run bc i didn't expect that, and i really love the smart commentary and how funny you are too!!! gonna make sure to binge your other playthroughs too :D
Yes I wanted you to play this. I didn't get into Pillars so when you started something new I wanted it to be something that I could get into right away. I can't wait to see how you can manage to die more times in this game.
In case of physical tests? Sure. Social? Not so much. We had great example with 'bartender' here and while that one was done for comedic effect I can imagine similiar stuff done seriously. There is a reason why GM's in tabletops sometimes make rolls outside of players view, or ask player to roll a dice and not look at what they rolled.
Facts in that intro. Those three games you mentioned (Outer Wilds, Pathologic 2 and Disco Elysium) are all some of my all time favorites. 2019 is maybe the most underrated year in gaming. Sekiro, DMC5 and RE2 Remake all came out that year too
You have a tape! and you have pulled out tape and a ventilator! You can use the ventilator to put the tape on a reel again. ARRRRGH. Of course, i am looking it after you have done it, but it's a meme! :D
If only this company would do a Blade Runner game. The graphics are wonderful. Wonderful feel but the objectives are too hard to obtain and too unclear.

Top tier comment.
He literally gave himself the no-damage run, and died from light
That was hilarious! Fights to remember himself after his bender, chooses to return to reality, turns on a light and dies 😂😂😂
I know I’m late but DAMN he chose the stats that make you have ONE HEALTH in BOTH BARS
This man died from turning on the lights.
lmfao
Relatable
Lol after seeing the message "turn the lights off immediately" just says fuck it
I was like This man died from a bright light this is both sad and relatable
Have seen a few roaches like that also.

On the Character screen, when you select a skill, then in the upper right corner, it says OVERVIEW / INFO. Try clicking on INFO :-).

Your Kim voice is spot on lol
Dead within 30 minutes of starting the game......that is HILARIOUS :D.
No Keith, you misunderstand. He's not a bartender, he's just bartending.
I'm not a youtuber I'm just being paid to youtube.
YES! i was hoping you'd play this after i saw you finished pillars of etternity, thank you so much Keith.
Nice died almost as fast as you could in old school adventure games.
You can also die by hitting the fan if you fail to grab the tie...
Omg for a second I thought the voice acting was just this dude not the game and I was like “what”
I feel good to be back to see this. It was a different time when I watched it. Hope you have a great day, Keith!
There's no narrator voice actor in the original? Wow, am I glad I played the version that had that!
The narrator is great but the problem as someone who played before they added him is that he voices the different aspects of your mind and it's all the same voice; when I first played they all had slightly different voices and tonality in my head, electrochemistry jittery and screaming for cigs and booze or authority almost a parody of Stallone in judge dredd commanding me to arrest people, kinda lost something to have them all voiced the same but thankfully you can switch it to psychology mode which resolves that!

Come for the gameplay, stay for the Pixies mini-rant
the low psy makes me kinda sad, inland empire, empathy, and volition are some of the best/most interesting skills in the game i think
The art is in the style of Francis Bacon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon_(artist)
I died from moral shock 😂
Dang this...will be great!
Just downloaded this game! Can't wait to begin playing.
After hearing you talk about this series so much, hear I am.
And all I can say is, would be better if it was Lovecraft.
Are you saying that it should've been more psychological/cosmic horror?
Hope you like reading Keith. Because you're gonna be doing a lot of it.

it is possible to die in the tutorial part of this game? i have never done this :D

This looks glorious, so I can't watch past this episode for quite some time. Boy, isn't that a Catch 22?
Got recommend this series by my AI (that is aware) that found this
**Buckles up**
It's pronounced Sav (like have) Wah (like saw) Fair
My first play through my guy just gave up on life and died for no reason...
Now that looks fun. Incoming save-scuming route!
It would be great if we could turn of succes/failure notifications. I hope it's an option.
wouldn't you still instantly find out whether or not you succeeded by observing what happens?
In case of physical tests? Sure.
Social? Not so much.
