Has anyone here played all the game sober? (Not you but the character I mean!) Care to share their experience?
There’s a smidge of recognition at the end if you do it sober, but not a ton of commentary throughout iirc
Cool. I still have to play this game as a communist, and I wanted to make a character who is strictly anti intoxicating substances, ultra nerdy, anti idealism and anti authority. So, low on skills like "authority", "espirit de corps", "inland empire", "shivers", and of course "electrochemistry".
About his signature skill, I was thinking about "rethoric" for this case. What do you all think?
Perfect strat. Be prepared to take physical and dextrous Ls while reading hella lore. EDC, shivers, and inland empire can provide some of the best dialogue in the game, but this is a solid first time playthrough that should get you into the head of the main character.
Yeah, in my last play I had a lot of fun with high scores on inland empire, shivers and elecrochem, he was insane. The guy obviously became an ultraliberal.
I’ve only ever played the game on a sober run, Harry seemed to spend most of the game suffering from the cumulative hangover of five back to back benders and I couldn’t imagine wanting to make that worse .
ending info
The cops in the end seemed genuinely surprised and had to break through their disbelief that Harry could actually be sober for a whole week.ty for censoring that because it's basically the only effect of playing without chemical enhancements
I do not remember playing this game sober, either me or the character. I did recycle a lot of bottles though
I have only ever played the game sober. Some people say it doesn't reward you for this, but as a person who has defeated addiction, it is the absolute most accurate way to portray it. Your reward for sobriety is sobriety.
