Pretty sure the boys are just VA-ing some disgruntled workers.

I had to google who chapo trap hourse are. Thank you for endowing me with this info that most definitely lends credence to their claim.

Nice. It looks like 8 points to distribute at chargen plus one tagged skill, with a maximum starting value of 5?
If so, my build will probably be Int 5/Psy 5, with Shivers as the tag skill. Electrochemistry looks fun, but I guess that's what the second playthrough is for.
mikee from sikth (mad as you like prog/math-metal band from the UK) is (or at least was) the voice director for the game so i assume he's in it a bit, in fact that might be him actually. here's some of his stuff -
also i cannot believe that disco elysium, god's second child, is only £35. i've spent more on kicks to the dick.

Yeah, it's a great style which makes me mildly annoyed I misplaced the postcards for the game; spent a good hour going through papers looking for them last night. Loved the look of them.
Gotta be here somewhere...
There are postcards for this game? o_O
Whoa!
Can you share them if you rediscover them?

They were giving them out at shows back in 2018. My only regret, prior to this misplacement, was not grabbing more when I was offered.
aw man, i missed out on the postcards but got a neat poster which i still need to frame.
Oh good lawd! That first one looks beautiful! I need to see the rest. Kindly post more when you find yours (if possible).
They have big roles in the game and were absolutely killer in the booth. I'm looking forward to the moment when people recognize them in game.
Can confirm, Mikee is the voice of Ancient Reptilian Brain among many others. Mark from Periphery also lent his voice to the game.
This is why we need a really nice physical collector's edition, sign some shit, print a few copies of the PnP system, make the OST vinyl and throw an art book in there and I'll bite.
I absolutely love the idea that I don't know what my character will become. Most every other RPG is a matter of planning from moment one that you're going to be all strength, or persuasion, or if you'll favor lock picking or tech...and then you just keep improving whatever skills you pick until the point that you succeed at every successive skill check. Here, even if I was clear on what I wanted to pick, there's twists and turns and downsides to everything so I can't just assume that at hour 30 I'm success checking my way through everything like I would in a Bioware or Bethesda game. Oh shit, I'm perfect at talking and lockpicking and now I won't shut up and I habitually steal from every person I see(made up example).
Can't wait to meet this Ancient Reptilian Brain (fucking amazing name btw) and have my headphones melt on my ears
Are you all planning to release the cast list before the game? Would be interesting seeing who all does some voicework in it, did you mostly hir elocal people/bands?
I know it'd be a pipe dream but the world just feels perfect to have someone like Tom Waits voice a character, some down on his luck drunkard that turns out to be more then meets the eye at first.
Jump Dash Roll article on the development of the game.

i hate to be crass but i want to smooch this game on the lips.
I hate to be crass but I want to gently, lovingly hold this game
The article headline was all I needed to read.
I'll bookmark it for later...much later.
But for now I'm full on media blackout mode.
you can't choose how the guy looks or his name but you can make him wear clothes and put actual metaphysical concepts inside of his brain to shape his entire personality.
short answer - fixed character.
Devs give a lengthy answer regarding themes and politics in their game
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all of the Kurvitz quotes taken from his GDC interview?
I actually much prefer limited VO in a game like this. I appreciate the effort that goes into full VO in games like Divinity Original Sin but in practice it's kinda awkward. I read the lines much faster than the actors do, and then once I'm done I sort of don't know what to look at while they finish, but at the same time I feel bad just skipping and cutting them off.
Ah... Character choices are so hard. There are loads of builds I want to try. I coming around to giving an Int/Fys build a go first, just accept that they'll have no subtlety whatsoever.
Yeah, it's possible it either allows you to be antifeminist/misogynist (in a pointed, self-incriminating way??) or proactively feminist (in which case, the "inexplicable" part of the name better be ironic?), but boy it could be an unpleasant can of worms if they handle this stuff clumsily. They're pulling several simultaneous high-wire acts with this one. Rooting for them, and I know their backgrounds are thoughtfully leftist, but hmmm.
Too early to tell at this point, but based on the game's stated goals of allowing the player to be an imperfect being capable of a wide range of motives, strengths and weaknesses...I'd wager that it's absolutely not ironic.
And perhaps, just perhaps, the game has the emotional nuance to pull it off in spectacular fashion.
I came into this thread to say the exact same thing. This genre has always scared me away a bit yet I have been holding out hope that this will be the one I can finally dive into.
I don't get that read at all. The game isn't trying to be all "but actually!" and instead is allowing players to make bad decisions that will ultimately affect not only how their character sees the world, but how the world also reacts to them. It's mentioned multiple times that the actions do have consequences with what is/isn't available to you in the world in terms of access, both people and dialog, based on how you've chosen to progress the mentality of the character. It doesn't even seem like it will be "both sides-ing" any of these issues.
the way this is worded just comes off as "look at the big scary black man"
" not only is he giant, he's very black, "
The optics here are terrible with that wording.
Yeah, "you understand why they're afraid to go past him" suggests that being more afraid of physically imposing men when they're black is a natural or at least comprehensible position to take.
But it's one off-the-cuff line in an interview, so maybe it's handled more thoughtfully in the game. A lot remains to be seen.
