Skippy McPants posted:Wait there is no time limit in this game? Well gently caress. I mean... Kim really would prefer it if you got the dead body out of the tree. Aside from that there's an Inland Empire passive somewhere that hints it'll be over in five days, but I think that's just Inland Empire breaking the fourth wall the way it does when it warns you about your character portrait changing. Only novel interactions advance the clock, and before they added the vision quest I legit ran out of things to do around the fifth day.

Yeah, there's a big thing the game tells multiple times is happening in a few days, but it's gated by the main quest progress, not by the clock. Off the top of my head, there's one thing that's time-sensitive but it doesn't have a major impact

The first two playthroughs I did I rushed through because I incorrectly intuited the game ended in 7 days.

I mean, my first run, trying to muddle through every side quest that existed (no vision quests) I'm pretty sure I faced The Tribunal on like, Day 4. If you stay up late and don't play board games a lot of stuff can get done. Was a couple of years ago though, so my memory might be faulty.

One thing to keep in mind is that the clock freezes at 2 AM every night until you go to bed so you have unlimited time during those periods. The caveat is that some places are closed and most NPCs are asleep at that point but it's also a good time to play your board games and catch up on any reading

Saw there was suddenly a lot of new posts in this thread, thought maybe some news had come up, but nope it was just a bunch of people gushing over Kim. This is of course perfectly good and right and proper, because Kim is the loving GOAT. TACD posted:this rules, then I went and listened to the tracks they've done for other games and they all suck, so now I don't know if I'm being blinded by bias I'm not a huge fan of his stuff overall but he's got a handful of songs I really like. This one's one of his very best though, I agree on that. And it probably is partly due to bias for the source material, yes.

Seconds after solving the case my Harry shoved his thumb right up his rear end. I got the honor check right after dealing with Ruby. I burst into laughter when that dumb honor check shattered the tension.

Here’s a question. You can beat the game without getting the body down right? Can one get the gun back from Pigs and then shoot the body down at night after Kim has gone to sleep?

Doing all side quests and reading all books and playing the board game on the clock still takes less than 7 days to finish

35 days sounds like a soft limit, aka that's the sum of all new conversation options you can select that advance time, since it doesn't advance unless you're selecting a conversation option you haven't selected yet if it's a hard limit and there's a newspaper card for it tho I'd love to see it

You can still advance time by reading books or case files over and over though I also doubt that taking every conversation option would even get you close to 35 days

35 days is just how long someone on Reddit spent spamming books and other reusable time sinks before giving up. There doesn’t appear to be any actual cap on the number of days. Also, there are only a handful of time-limited tasks, most stuff only needs a specific time of day. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Aug 23, 2021 |

There are a few obvious counter examples to this and probably some I'm forgetting too. But off the top of my head: - Any interaction with the lawyer lady when she's in gardener mode is day 1 only. - I think you can only talk to the mysterious eyes at the dock entrance on day 1? - The biggest one of course is rene dies day three or four, I forget which.

How does the task to visit the smoking man the next day work? Like, if I pick that up on day one, don't see him on day two, can I still see him on day three?

IIRC you can visit him on any later day, just only at the suitable time (the late evening I think)

No sorry I wasn’t intending to correct you. I just didn’t know if it was the same area and I missed a lot of things on my first play through thinking that time actually mattered.

At high levels, Electro-Chemistry makes you a man of unrestrained pleasure – an unrepentant Lothario who leers at people with a bottle of speed and a plastic bendy straw in either hand. But with a low Electro-Chemistry, you’ll be too innocent to be effective. Without a working knowledge of drugs and sex, the city will be difficult to understand.

No drugs, no booze. Classy and slightly insane is the way Costeau rolls. Kim was a real drag though. Kid's got no finesse nor élégance.)

I'm early on in the game so have a quick query about money - are there any items that it's safe (or not) to pawn? So far I've just been pawning postcards and recycling bottles for cash. I resisted pawning the shot putt I found and I'm glad I did because I was able to use it to partially patch things up with the old guys whose game of petanque I ruined. So I'm now shy about pawning anything else in case it's useful later. I just want to get absolutely all the trash and take it around with me because it might help. Maybe that's the hobocop talking.

Nothing will softlock you, though a few things might block bits of dialogue or skill boosts. Postcards are explicitly safe to pawn though IIRC.
