I did a lot of the cool stuff on my first playthrough but I managed to learn nothing at all about the pale, besides getting that book that doesn't tell you what it is and some of the cryptid Inland Empire dialog. I did a psych/physique build that was pretty entertaining. If you do bad enough at the end, do they fire you?

If you've done enough things wrong that no one there is willing to have your back, basically. One of the big strikes against you is if you take in any alcohol at all, especially with Jean even outright saying he doesn't give as much of a poo poo about you doing hard drugs as long as you aren't drinking and I believe also if you're alone because Kim got shot and since you're alone, it means it's also more difficult to defend yourself.

I'm not ready to read spoilers yet but if your Harry isn't continually sloshed then what are you even doing (also thanks for the hints re: freezer/church)

I can't imagine how one could justify having Harry turn to alcohol or drugs if they're doing any roleplaying at all that tries to help him.

Honestly I was expecting more consequence from not doing drugs. There's a physical component to addiction that the game kinda sidesteps: besides some dialog about the headache there aren't many if any mechanical penalties outside of maybe a few specific rolls.

Tripping on psychedelic anti-radiation drugs is basically a panacaea and will cure all of Harry's ill both physically and mentally.

Regardless of how you build Harry or what you do, one talent he does possess is an astonishing ability for compartmentalization, so regardless of his previous choices he could easily be entirely sober for the duration of the case. Of course it goes the other way too, so there's no guarantee your reformed, repentant Harry won't just descend into another drug-fueled meltdown for his next case. Also regarding the player, I came to think of them (me?) as a sort of twenty-fifth skill, like Free Will or something. You are the part of Harry not strictly bound to the material realm of skill points, checks, and other deterministic restraints.

I was sad when you only got to hang out with Kim smoking the one time but then I realized that it's a miracle he let you in on his private relaxation ritual after the first day and of loving course he wants some privacy after the second and so on days of jogging after your sad rear end.
