Luke... please... I beg of you... The corpse... please...
😆😆
But he's not done with the doomed commercial and apartment buildings yet. And there's the harbor area he can go to meet the union boss or follow the drug trafficking leads. :P I get the feeling it'll soon be the morning of day 3 in game and he'll go for another lap around the newly opened map before eventually jogging to the corpse by the episode 15.
Trying to get half through this before work. I never saw the cockatoo thing before, oh my god. 🤣 No feathers and only screams!
Hi algorithm, we're here for this playthrough, no matter how much or little music.
1:05:43 The subjects this game treads are intentionally abstract, it plays on how people fetishize all-consuming extremist approaches to reality. You understand these subjects as much as the 41st does - don't be *afraid* to pick a side. The "none of the above" options are moralist, as you've figured out.
Not sure yet how I feel about the Moralists 🤔 need to learn some more about the world
@@LukaelPlays Moralists are like Trudeau and Biden, so what you think of them should tell you what you think of moralists
You indeed need to spend a skill point to open more thought slots. Also don't worry about the politics and terminology, it will come together if you listen enough.
Edit: Good to see it came together in the episode actually with the thoughts 👏
this is a cool comment for your so called algorithms. waiting for more episodes) seeing someone enjoing this great game is really good
We've had (publicly known) digital computers since the 1930's and analogue computers much, much longer than that. Disco Elysium's level of technology parallels our own, but instead of largely abandoning analogue computing research like our economic world and leaders did, they continued it. :)
Good question whether the computer filament is based on any real tech we know or are allowed to know of, so I guess that's not something you're supposed to wonder. :P Maybe it is, having seen some of the ancient spherical and cubic instruments of varying origin and materials. Perhaps such things were used in combination with impossible structures such as pyramids and star forts.
I suppose you're right! it's quite fascinating 🤓
Oh god you skipped some delicious foreshadowing at one point there. Why must you always pick the most boring dialogue options? They’re not a test!
I love this approach. Fuck the case, we're going EXPLORING!
This does take place in the fifties, but I don't think it's the nineteen fifties. Elysium doesn't seem to number its centuries.
Interacting, interacting, interacting. Great Videos Lukael!
This game is turning out to be way different than i thought it would be when it first started. This is my first time seeing it played and i am very interested to see where the story goes next!
how thoughts work: if you haven't gotten this info yet, the "temporary research bonus" only applies during the timeframe its being "researched"(when you're internalizing). Once that's done it unlocks a DIFFERENT bonus, and usually its actually a bonus not a negative, but you don't know what the bonus will be until you research it fully. So even if something seems bad because of the temporary research bonus, keep in mind that it IS actually temporary.
39:11 From break and ruin, the most beautiful thought line begins.
A different build would have had one of your inner voices say “Goracy Kubek is _not_ his name. Whatever you do, do _not_ address this man as Goracy Kubek!” - and then still give you the option, of course. Was kinda hoping you’d just take Logic’s word for it
Agreed, no game made me feel as dumb as this game, but in such an entertaining way. And I admit, I did think of myself as someone with a broad vocabulary. I learned so many new words and concepts!
Disco 🕺🕺 time 🕺🕺 (love this game and enjoying the playthrough, hope the youtube gods are kind to you)
When The Necktie Speaks We Listen. 👔
I knew I could count on you, *Bratan*! You know that what I'm saying is true based on how loud I am!
Hmm, looks like someone is feeling like a centrist Moralist today, eh?
😓
@@LukaelPlays Hey man it's okay to not have an opinion, politics or not. We are not going to judge...
...We are just going to laugh at you! Hey comrades! Take a look at this guy! He doesn't choose sides! HahAhAHAHAHa!
Honestly I've never seen someone convince Plaisance to bring Annette inside. You said it seems easy but I think it was because you got the nail biting bit about Annette that it was possible. Usually Plaisance just tells you off for telling her how to parent her daughter and then holds a grudge in later conversations.
Oh wow! happy to hear that I suppose eheh, that does seem like the more natural response that I would have expected from her, so I was surprised when she actually brought her inside... always happy to know I got to show people something new!
ah i see, i managed to get her inside my first time playing the game but didn't understand why i couldn't my second time playing it
@@joaquinbaume1291 yeah I'm not certain, but that was the only thing I saw Lukael do that I'd never done.
@@silkshines00 Woolie and Reggie also did it, although they do occasionally load failed checks. Still, it's one of the best DE Let's Plays out there because they really vibe with the game's humor, but Lukael here is quickly rising to my favorites, too. His thoughts about the worldbuilding and writing are often the same I had when I first played it.
15:13 This game throws a *lot* of information at you, so no judgement here. Like you said, the text is very dense. Just to clarify (no spoilers, just stuff that's already been said), the RCM is the Revachol Citizens Militia. From my understanding, as a militia it's not actually a government organization. It's a group of citizens who organized to keep peace in the area, so they're effectively police, but not actually. Legally, the Coalition runs Revachol, but they don't actively govern. Revachol doesn't have its own government.
It's all quite a bit strange.... you would think the police is put in place by the government, but because they don't really seem to have an acting government, like you said it's more just a citizens initiative. But then if nobody is giving you the authority, what authority do you really have? I would think none?? Like if the RCM arrests you or fines you, and you don't comply, what can they really do lol
@@LukaelPlays Could ask any Belgian about that. They've been breaking their own records of having no government whatsoever since the large protests in the 90's. I lived, studied and worked around the area on one occasion when the government idea was on hiatus. Things were just fine from an outsider perspective, quite self-governing folk they are.
@@LukaelPlays Yeah that's the union lawyer's argument too. They don't acknowledge the RCM's authority. It's a very interesting and tense backdrop the writers have created.
@@LukaelPlaysRevachol was a colonial empire, like say, British empire, then communists overthrew the king, establishing a USSR-like state. Then Coalition which is like NATO, an alliance of capitalist democracies, invaded Revachol, put an end to the communists. That was 43 years ago. Since then Revachol has been like Western Berlin: temporarily occupied by the allies, without any elections or government of their own. People don’t get to decide their laws or what would government do, because there isn’t one, so nobody can make laws. You’re basically in international waters as far as laws go. No government-no public schools, no pensions, no public healthcare. And no taxes, which is what people from Coalition love, they get to register their companies there and save money.
RCM is technically a volunteer force, and the only reason they are considered police is because occupying countries allow them to. The courts are theirs.
That’s why some people consider you vigilantes-nobody elected you, you don’t really represent the local population, they didn’t pick the laws, the government and they can’t really hold you accountable, it’s all up to the occupation forces. And if you look at Martinesse-place is a dump, it’s been 43 years and people are living in bombed houses and playing games in craters. That’s why Union people say you’re enforcing a violent privatization, from their point of view you’re just another soldier of the occupation forces, put there to make sure no riots happen, while foreign businesses use the lack of taxes or regulations to make some cash.
@@Silent_Depthsi think post WW2 West Berlin kinda works as an example? You could add in Meiji Japan, with extraterritoriality and special treatment of people from occupying powers.
I don't know if it's just me or if it is even feasible but I would prefer if you upped the music for you and cut it for us when necessary (maybe it's too messy or difficult?), at the end of the day you should the one to enjoy the game in its entirety!
Also, it's hilarious how the game can sidetrack you for hours without even noticing it 😂
I do still hear the music, it's just not as loud! 🙂 cutting it out completely would be more difficult to do in editing 😅
Super mega duper disco
YES THE NECKTIE

algorithm
You're correct, you need to spend one skill point to unlock another Thought slot (and then a second skill point to internalize the thought)
As for "what's going on in this game", it might help to remember that all the thoughts and such are just inside the protagonist's head. There's no cop-god declaring you a Sorry Cop. That's the protagonist beating himself up. The ideology thoughts (such as the Kingdom of Conscience) are the protagonist trying to use ideology as a way out of his post-breakup mid-life crisis. "What if I became a centrist? What if I became a communist? What if I became a fascist?")
False, you don't need to spend a skill point to internalize a thought. Only to unlock the slot or to FORGET a thought..
The line "The privatization is not unlawful, it's *cool* and *funny* " has been living rent free in my head ever since I first saw it. Sometimes I'll just think of it randomly and have a little laugh, as a treat.
Amazing line
