ya I've gotten the impression that Authority is about gaining power over people by literally any means necessary, even ones that macho fash types wouldn't consider like screaming meltdowns and debasing yourself.

my endurance has never really interjected this run so I can't speak to that

GAMER INSTINCT: [Trivial: Success] if we choose the compromise position, i bet we get more loot and our alignment stat won't change

Barkley has you mediate a dispute between a duergar union and their genie bosses.

Picking a compromise position gets you jack poo poo, the only rewards are for heavily favoring one side or the other.

I put my first skill point into endurance because I set physical to 1, and I keep having heart attacks when I fail skill rolls without even being able to take any medicine.

My next runthru the 2 skills inwamr to increase the most are shivers and authority. Shivers was silent until partway through day 3 where a thought that reduces passive skill check difficulties put him over the edge to being present and I'm sad I missed this writing the first 2 days..

Authority because while it looks like a lot of what it does is just telling you to shout it getting the Hardy boys to cooperate with you by just saying that theyre just cops and to talk to them like they are was cool as hell and I'm curious if it does more none shouty power plays like that

I hesitate to suggest anything to improve the game, other than maybe having entries on the list of white checks culled after you do them, but it would be pretty sweet if you could get a samurai sword and reenact the plot of Samurai Cop.
