I played DE for the first time a year ago. I played it pretty “straight” because I wanted to learn as much about the world of Revachol and it’s history as possible (I avoided most spoilers but I had some vague notions there was some sort of communist revolution in the past). So on my skills, I loaded up on Psyche and Intellect with a focus on Encyclopedia and Visual Calculus. I didn’t do a lot of drugs or drink, either.

So for my second play through, I’m looking for a different experience. I’m thinking about loading up on Physique and Motorics - Physique in particular. I’ve heard Shivers and Half Light can be fun. I kept Interfacing, Hand Eye Coordination, etc pretty low so I might want to try it with higher levels there.

But I wanted to ask you all and get your thoughts and suggestions.

Also, I’m torn if I should try the Moralist vision quest or go back to the Communist one. I didn’t have quite enough Communism points to get the “best” ending (didn’t internalize The Suicide of Kras Mazov) so I kinda want another shot. But the moralist one does seem kinda interesting and apparently you learn more about the Pale.

Anyway would love to hear your ideas.

    I definitely could be wrong, but I thought:

    If you have at least 30 communism points (which can pretty much only be attained by saying all the commie dialogue options + internalizing Mazovian Socioeconomic and Suicide of Kras Mazov) the card tower actually stands up on its own for a few moments. If you have < 30 when you try and build the card tower it just straight up falls. Don’t know if I’m remembering that correctly, though.

      Ah yes you are correct about that. I don't know that you need suicide of kras masov to get to 30 communist points, it's just saying 30 communist things. I thiiink I did it without that thought?

        Yeah I should clarify that I don’t think you need that thought per se, just that I selected every commie dialogue option possible and still didn’t get to 30. Possible I didn’t engage in enough conversation though.

          Yeah I think you can do it without getting the thought but I wouldn't be surprised if it gives you a communist point or two
