It's like playing Fallout or something, but every single skill check is always 1 point higher than you have in that skill. Doesn't matter if you spend the whole game minmaxing, or the reverse (trying to keep yourself balanced and good at most things); you're always just barely underqualified for anything and no matter what shapes you contort yourself into, it's never quite the right one
Another comparison would be that spongebob episode where he keeps missing the bus no matter what he does, to the point where it's clear that the laws of physics themselves are optional as long as he's unable to succeed
It's midnight and I have a stomachache. Post quality will continue to deteriorate
seems more like disco elysium. sure you can pass a skill check, but you probably wont, even if you min maxed the whole game just to pass that one check. and then even if you do pass the check, well.. yay, you got your tie off the ceiling fan without dying this time.
anyways, ties are stupid, thats the moral of the story.
