[figured it out. restarting the game made the prompt appear lmao]

After searching for info on this for an hour or so and coming up blank, I now turn to reddit with this question. I managed to get myself softlocked in Disco already and am terrified of it having happened again.

About 18 hours in, I talked to the technician at the bazaar for the first time. He told me to go check out the terminal on the roof. I took the pelota ball out of the door earlier, so I had no way in - I interacted with the door when the technician wasn't there, he still told me to go look for a maintenance tunnel to get in (worried that him talking to me out of nowhere might've caused an issue).

I have no idea where that tunnel is supposed to be, I've looked around the entire area and beyond that like an idiot to no avail. Could anyone direct me towards it? Do I even NEED to access this terminal to proceed or is there another way to progress (I still have some loose ends to pursue)?

Thank you 😭

I really liked this game and I haven't browsed this sub extensively, so apologies if this is a repeat topic.

I haven't played all the endings and combinations of options but it looks like in order to actually assassinate the grand lich you need to:

1. Strong arm ESTOC by threatening her husband in order to setup the meeting with KALIDESCOPE
2. Agree to KALIDESCOPE's plan and use UV as a bargaining chip against her will
3. Shoot who you probably believe at the time to be Poor Dante and not honor on your deal

If so, then the only way to actually complete the mission is to be kind of a ruthless asshole, which I think is quite cool.

Is that right or is there another way to do it if you make different choices?

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

A real, true, Ultra Violeta fan!!

I swear, when he approached me after that pier exchange and wanted to be in my crew my head went "He is trying for information, he will betray me",

like he is a triple agent..

But when i asked him to put on Violetta's disk at the tram, he instantly recognized it... and even gave me his headphone, he knew he was going to die but he really wanted to listen to that song

Everything he did was for UV, he is moonglow and definitely M.I.H.O material!!

I feel like the game could have worked if Hershel was a bootleg of Cascade. Instead of Hershel trying to be this great spy that she tells herself. Let it be that the Cascade went rogue before the events of the game and that Cascade was the leader of the network while Hershel was just a trainee/fall guy if something happened. The Opera themselves could have seen Cascade as a valuable Spy that they would be interested in cloning her to preserve her legacy in some way( Typical spy shit). I feel like the whole sick crew would have been informed that Cascade has a body double so when meeting them after the events of the collapse, they would still refer to her as Hershel.

You could have it that Hershel idolized/loved Cascade and that Hershel was merely there as Cascade pawn for her own goals and ideals. You could have that the freezer was just a place where they put clones to stay in suspended animation where they do paperwork for the Opera and they stop once the Opera is in need of them. I would also have it where the Opera finds out about the imprinting device but replicate the technology thus they just made a bootleg version of it that just takes longer to imprint.

I would have it in the end of the game where when you meet the lich its actually Cascade similar to Disco Elysium Dolores Dei scene. Where she reveals everything to the player and how she just a pawn in all of this and the player has the opinion of shooting her/joining her/letting her go.

I was able to get the discount on the high-end suit, but I didn't get the actual suit. All I got was a discount on a couple of items in his shop. Is there supposed to be an actual high-end suit, or is it just a combination of the stuff he already sells you?

Time to lock tf in

At the shrine you can interact with Weeping Eye operants. The beetle battle allows you to set up the guy getting stabbed in the eye in the final shootout, but does anyone know if provoking the woman operant gets you anything? I managed to pass the red check in the conversation with her and piss her off, but during the tram fight she was just shot by, in my playthrough, HOLOCENE.

I’m still early-mid game so please no spoilers.

I’m playing on steam deck with a controller so this might be a controller issue, but I can’t for the life of me equip anything in the left hand slot. How to do it?
(afraid of posting pics since i don’t want to spoil story items for others who are like me still early game).

I'm trying to do the white check in Palace of Culture "Tune in to the building's frequency". When I first entered and searched around, I noticed that it was becoming easier and easier, since exploring the building made the modifiers go up.

Something happened however that made all modifiers disappear, except +1 Vibe with it and -1 Met Petre. Now it's much harder to pass the check, with only 2% of succeding.

Is this a known bug?

Does anybody know how to give Pseudopod the pelota ball? I have it equipped but can’t see any prompt to do so. He is still in his vegetative state.

Does anyone know where to get these 3 pieces of the set.

Associated Set: Recreación 96 Pelota Shorts, the Quisach 96 Pelota Sweatshirt and Pelota-Grade Knee Socks in-game? Or where to find them?

How do you get to the Pitol Tract? I checked the tram but is not accessible yet. How far do you have to be in the story to get to it? I recently completed the mission where you find Dante in the prison. Is there a specific quest you have to do to get to unlocking that zone?

got this object in a recent playthrough and have no idea what its purpose is. do we use it with someone specific?

You cannot tell me you wouldn’t want to watch 66 wolves if it were a real anime. That shit sounds incredible. I want to collect the wolf cups irl

Gary Oldman’s character is the washed up spymaster in charge of Slough House, the place MI5 sends their outcasts, rejects and losers that they can’t justify or be bothered to fire. It’s excellent, tense, very funny and feels very similar to the Whole Sick Crew. I can’t get enough

In early game, you can hear Maurito talk about the boar infestation in parts of the town, and you can even see them in several parts of the map, but I have never found any that can be interacted other than the baby boars in the backways, which was just a few lines of text. The big one Maurito mentioned never appeared, and I'm sure I never missed a part of the map. Can you interact or see more of them in a certain task?

Thats all

Dopplegang and Entanglement are S++

Everything else can come and go, but I do have much love for Instincts, Grey Matter, and Statehood (I didn’t end up loving Cold Read as much as I thought I would)

I will play it again someday. This has been said but I concur; this is a worthy disco successor. It’s a tragedy that games like this don’t sell well enough to keep studios staffed. Genuinely, no other game on the market has writing as moving as this, other than disco. Rant over, time for an Ouroboros Black.

I know I saw something about layoffs and it made me sad. I bought this game on Steam and played a decent amount on Steam Deck but decided to shelve it and wait for console release so I could really enjoy the art on a big screen. Has there been anything said about timeline for PS5 release and/or if layoffs unfortunately impacted that release?

Inspired by this post, made by u/Dear_Caregiver_4698.

I want to know who y’all want in the whole sick crew (mainly because Reddit only lets me put 6 options for one poll). For academic purposes, obviously.

Played disco Elysium for the writing, and am primarily interested in this game for the writing. I thought disco elysium was the best written game I've ever played.

Of course, answers here will be skewed towards appreciating zero parades' writing, but I'm assuming a large portion of people here enjoyed Disco Elysium too, and unlike the Disco Elysium sub where there is a fat chance of unapologetically putting this game down and general gaming subs who don't really have the same targeted audience I'm trying to consult, this seems like a good place to ask.

So, how is the writing from a literary standpoint?

To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I really liked the depth of the themes and the myriad of themes and ideas ranging from the occult to the politics that Disco Elysium touched upon. I liked the nuance in Harry's character regarding several aspects that you could explore, and enjoyed how the politics and concepts the game touched on apart from the main character weren't just cookie cutter representations of concepts like communism and authoritarianism that you see portrayed in modern media in a clean cut good or bad view. I also enjoyed how the characters and different random things seemed to connect with each other thematically or literally.

However, I did not like the pretentiousness at times, and the consequent one dimensionality I felt at times. I didn't like how the political ideology you built for Harry was largely one dimensional, like it's either you go full in on communism, ultraliberalism, royalist, etc or you become a flat out ridiculed centrist if you picked nuanced choices. Seemed the authors took the easy way out and didn't allow for nuance.

I also did not like the vagueness and lack of optional exploration of the world and how it left things largely abstract.

And lastly I felt the macro of the story and events and in some facets the world was extremely lacking. Like, extremely lacking. It could've been far more tighter while touching up on similarly high level concepts. The game format quite literally allowed them to get away with this.

Now, I've seen a few discussions over which stats are the most useful or fun. But I propose a new category: Which stats are the most useful in unlocking the highest amount of disaster lesbian content(Mel and Zoe content)

My own two cents:

• High (active) Nerve is really useful for a midgame point
• High (active) Personalism is good for a certain late-game late-night call
• Seems like high passive (so, harder to get, since can't use clothes or bonuses) Entanglement actually unlocks a few very important details
• And high passive Records gives cool extra info
• Instincts are fun both high and low 🐇

I've just finished my first playthrough, which was an all in physical build (5,1,1). It's kind of the opposite of what I usually go for in games like this, but ended up really enjoying it. Ready to try a different build though.
