Overall I fucking loved it but there was a few parts of the ending that felt a bit anti-climatic. I get they wanted to structure the story is such a way that even players who fucked the investigation up could find the killer, but it is weird that there’s really no way to really solve the case before shit goes down and then you just, find the guy. But I guess that feeds into the narrative that no single person is really in control of much outside of themselves.

Also didn’t like there wasn’t a “I’m turning I my badge” option for Harry (if there was one I didn’t see it). That seemed to fit the best into my RP. But idk maybe Harry wants to sober up entirely before he makes such a decision. I did get Kim to agree to be my partner tho which made me happy. I also also expecting as sort of “trial” at the end where my psyche makes an analysis of what kind of cop I turned out to be, but we just got in the motor carriage and left.

Kinda tempted to reload a save from before I encountered Ruby cuz I’m pretty sure there’s shit I missed, I was playing things kinda safe cuz I was sorta RP Harry as trying not to fuck things up and I think that bit me. Also I’m bummed I never got to meet with Steban again, don’t think I timed that right.

Anyway I’ll probably do a fash play through in a month or so.

      :lt-dbyf-dubois: “I really wanna look around some…”

      :lt-kitsuragi: “No time! We have to find the suspect.”

      Yeah thanks Kim!

      Edit: but I can’t stay mad at Kim 😭. Literally I cried when I thought he had been shot.

        It’s not uncommon for him to die in that scene. Sounds like you passed some good checks.

        The best way to head into the tribunal is

        To have hand-eye and physical instrument maxed so you can make those shots and dodges, have gotten the blue spirits from the one drunk in the fishing village and let your tie convince you to make a molotov cocktail out of it, and have shamed the crypto fascist into giving you the chest plate armor if you couldn’t manage to get the full set. I think there’s also a check that involves talking to the head mercenary about Lely that gives you advantage on the shot. Maybe it was running a check on the boots’ serial number over the radio?

        Edit: oh, and gotten your gun from The Pigs

          My Harry going in suited up wouldn't have really fit my RP, he just wanted to deescalate things. I did manage to pass the check to dodge the first shot, and the check to save Kim, which was enough for me. Sad Titus got killed, dude was kind of a prick but I think he was trying to do the right thing in the end.
