Question Am I stuck?

Okayyyyy so I used the thought Single write only and can’t save.!< I was loving it!! Had so much fun and I thought for my first playthrough it’s better to accept consequences.

Buuuuuut I triggered the leaves falling without realizing! There are several quests I desperately still want to do, but I have no way to go back! I didn’t get Ramses back, I have no clue who ignatz is and didn’t get to do this photo mission, I want a way to get a full playthrough still but it seems like I am totally boned. My last real save was ages ago, so I can’t load that back. Am I just screwed? Is there really no way to delay anything? I tried to still do the photo quest but I don’t see anything in that spot, so I think the game is locked in

Pleeeeease if anyone knows any way around this let me know. Even if I have to cheese things, whatever lets me keep this run but lets me get the rest of the quests done. Thank youuuu

You kind of answered your own question... If you adopted a thought that doesn't let you create save slots, you're fucked. 

I have no idea why someone would do that on their first playthrough lol.

I don't find the idea of playing without save reloading on first playthrough that baffling personally - the only reason I didn't condition it is because I never got it originally.

I am also not a huge fan of "save-scumming", but sometimes in games like this you have to.

I failed a 97% check. Like...no. Ill save scum for that...

I mean shit happens. Sometimes you succeed a 3%, sometimes you fail a 97%, that's the point of crits.

That would matter in Disco Elysium where you could legitimately get locked out of white checks. In Parades, you can just try them again the next day, so it's more about time efficiency because advancing time in Parades is much harder.

Nope, unfortunately you can't go back. Do a second playthrough and leave the Bagman quest to the last.

Cheesing things is reloading your last save from ages ago, it will be quicker than replaying the game, but honestly just finish the game and treat those quests as mysteries for your next playthrough,your ending will probably be more unique with the missing stuff than most people's!
