The one thing I wish the game had but doesn't seem to at all is more music when you're out in the open world. I finished the game and now that I've sat through the finale the gameworld feels like of sterile and dull without something nice playing over the sky. Red Dead Redemption 2 had the same problem. Breath of the Wild had some nice calming tunes for when you're wandering around and I really wish this did too.

Avynte posted:iirc, there was like one line mentioning how he used it as a totem / connection to Amelie's Beach so he could channel all the cool powers better and serve her EE agenda. Also, Die-Hardman had one of those dolls, which is what allowed him to travel to Amelie's Beach.

So I set out for just my own enjoyment without any cargo and as I crossed the peak of the mountain and looked down at the lake I was like. "Wait, heart shaped lake. gently caress!"

Thundercracker posted:Ahh, totally forgot about that bit. A lot was happening during the end exposition dumps. I don't think so? Someone correct me if I missed a line tucked away somewhere though. My best guess is because the sky is covered in Chiral crystal infused clouds covering the world, they somehow impart their time manipulating properties to the rain. As to why the sky is a solid blanket of Chiral clouds? The death stranding? v  v

Burning bodies appears to release chiralium into the atmosphere for unexplained reasons, which is why they go through all the effort of using incinerators way up in the mountains instead of burning them in the middle of cities.

I think "sterile" would be a good way of describing the intended world in game since most of everyone is dead as hell and everyone still alive is in bunkers with few exceptions

I really want a Fallout-style radio station to fill some of the time when I'm doing almost nothing but running through a wasteland and checking my map every thirty seconds. I did the pizza delivery with the champagne from Timefall Farm last night, and the silence really started to wear on me after the first ten minutes or so. I only have roads from Lake Knot City to the Lake Knot distribution center, so it took me about twenty-five minutes to run the whole way. (Stopped paying attention and stumbled into a rock during the last five minutes. I delivered it with 5% champagne damage because I just couldn't redo the whole thing.  )Of course, you can't build the kind of atmosphere Kojima did if you've got upbeat 50s music playing all the time, and you'd completely lose those bits where you crest the top of the hill and see your destination up ahead and Low Roar starts playing.

Holy moly I just looted like 4k special alloys from a bandit camp. Am I EVER going to need this much? I was honestly hoping it was gonna be metals.

Timefall happens when chiral clouds mix with gamma radiation generated by lightning strikes.... or something like that. And it causes a distortion in space time. American McGay posted:It's one of those ominous looking baby dolls you see constantly around Cliff's character. It's never really explained how or why or what sort of benefits having that in his pod provided, just that it wasn't a real BB in there. The plastic doll seems to be Amelie's "connection" item to other characters. As mentioned it's in Higgs pod as a way to channel her powers. Die Hardman uses it to get to her beach. They're also around Cliff on his beach, which is probably how he can control BT's, like Higgs.

Those last couple hours elicited the most sincere  Maybe it's the point, but I was sad it took all the way to the very end of the game for them to let him bust out his acting chops. Having him not show emotion until ~the mask is off~ makes sense but oh well. That final reveal of Bridget holding his hand to pull the trigger cemented my appreciation of the character.

Steve Yun posted:I don’t recall a cutscene either so I figure he just decided to out of the blue. To be honest I think it is a story element, the weird animations in the room like when BB bursts out or becomes Deadman's face, the heartman BT that grabs your feet, etc are all in universe. The game repeats over and over that chiral exposure makes you hallucinate and dooms sufferers have it worse. The Geologist / paleontologist talks about being grateful to get medicine from you before he got to the suicidal phase. I think his sudden naming of BB as lou is missed by him and the other characters. Sam is a little insane and a complete emotional recluse, he has the personality of a stereotype of a homeless person in modern day. Maybe it's an artifact of the game's development, cutting a scene to highlight him naming the BB, without going back and re editing other scenes, but it works just fine in the narrative and character as is. When you lose BB for a chapter he regularly still talks to it, sometimes realizing too late that BB is no longer there. It's the first connection he's had to someone and he's mentally unstable.

Has anyone figured out if lethal vs non lethal actually matters at all? Does it actually do anything in the game, prevent a trophy? Anything? Also die hard man says to get rid of the bodies but afaik that isn’t even possible.

I don't think much of anything actually happens. The game claims it will cause more BTs which I haven't ever actually noticed. I think every corpse has like a 2% chance of eventually causing a voidout which just triggers a game over and a soft reset.

How do you even bring them to the incinerator? You can’t pick up bodies or anything. What actually happens if you trigger a void out? Now I kind of want to try haha. I only killed one guy and then reloaded my game so I haven’t actually seen any of that. Edit: American McGay posted:I don't think much of anything actually happens.

I killed some mules and deadman called me a bit after and said I need to dispose of the bodies and he marked them on the map. I eventually got a game over cause of the void out. I’m assuming after you get that call the bodies are wrapped up for transport. I didn’t check.

They're wrapped up but you have to carry them on your back, to the exclusion of nearly everything else. The incinerators are kind of distant from the rest of the game's places so you have to carry a dead body for 2-3km+ and the terrain is not exactly conducive to driving

You can stuff the bodies in a truck and I wanna say there's a road you can build that goes right up to the incinerator.

They're a ticking timebomb, and it's a job normally handled by a specific team of Bridges (CDT - Corpse Disposal Transport). Getting a random porter to bag the body and not just run like hell before they go BT is about the best you can hope for. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Nov 20, 2019 |

How does everyone know Sam is a repatriate at the beginning? How does everyone know repatriates exist at all unless there have been some documented cases already. Are there any rules for repatriating? Like it seems you can be vaporized and you get to come back with all your vaporized gear?

Repatriate stuff: there's definitely more than one Repatriate--it's explicitly mentioned in the "Repatriates and Voidouts" interview. I do not know if any others are mentioned by name, though. Seems ripe for a sequel or spinoff!
