Funny Reference

Just beat the game a bit ago and had a great time. Was happy to see this fun reference to the Lemon Demon song Touch-Tone Telephone.

Apologies if this has been posted before, and for the low-quality picture, took it off my TV while playing the game.

Did you feel like Esoteric Ebb favoured one political ideology?

I might have roleplayed as a brute nationalist and for the most part, it worked pretty well. STR reinforced my cleric's beliefs and the game actually provided a nuanced take on the ideology.

Only sometimes, mostly in conversations with Azgalist characters or in the feat internalization dialogues, I felt like the author's own (vaguely socialist I assume) convictions shined through.

How did that work in your playthrough, did you feel like the game was neutral or biased in its politics?

Help with Lucky achievement

I'm trying to get all achievements in this game and Lucky - Roll a double Nat 20 is the only one missing. I got the double nat 1 very early in the game, but I just can't get the double 20. I'm trying to do it with The Duck before the election because he has a dialogue that's easy to proc the double dice, but he talks a lot later, meaning I have to return to the menu and load the save, which is a bit bad to keep repeating.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to do it, like a place that can proc a dice without much dialogue before or after. >!I have the Jester card btw.!<

Just started playing the game and died for the first time, because a girl chanted "kiss kiss" at me and another dude. Amazing 10/10 no notes

It is also important to note that I had passed around six rounds of death saving before that and came out fine. My cleric really just died from homophobia for the hells of it.

Heyy so I kinda jumped down the well in the sphynx tavern and lived

level 4 right now running a high con build, was there another intended way of doing that or was that how it was meant to go?

Am I too slow?

Hello :)

I've been having an absolute blast with my time in the game, read all the little details, discussed philosophy, edge cases of magical conundrums (all of those questions about magical gender swapping/legal implication or resurrection/how to change your alignment, I love them!). I'm more of a "do all the side quests before the main quest" guy and I've been talking to everyone.

It's now day 4 - 10 PM, and I've finally set foot for the first time in the >!City Below!<. OMG this place is HUGE, I found like a >!garden with a bugbear, an ENEMY (like wtf, there are fight dialogues lol ?) and then a cat-monument, and some sewers with a crocodile!<.

Tomorrow is election day, and I still have so much to do (>!I just learned to talk with the dead, but still have to discuss with the elf - sell milk around - do the sphinx Enygma - Literally do dungeon crawling, I didn't even know there were FIGHTS in this game before afternoon in day 4 lol, I'm amazed!<).

Can I keep taking my time or should I prioritise doing some things ?

What are your honest, objective reviews of this game?

I know this is like asking a group of sharks if I should dive in the ocean but this game looks really really neat and I'm thinking of picking it up, but first I wanna hear real honest reviews about the pros and the cons of the game, and I figured this sub would be the best place for that. Cheers!

Do you think the game has a political stance?

I’m about 7 hours into my first play through and so far I love it, I was curious to see its reviews and on imdb there were 2 6/10s which were the worst ratings for it with actual writing. One of them was saying it had to much dialogue (what a terrible take) and the other called it woke. I don’t think it has a political stance though, at the end of one of the quests wisdom explains some azgalist viewpoints including the feminist views, which I think must have been what made them say that, but then strength says the more or less the opposite so I don’t think that’s the game having a stance. I’m curious to see what you all think, I don’t personally think it has a set viewpoint.

No philandrist quest?

Just finished the game. Managed to score a couple of dates with intimidating women. I’m just wondering why we can’t choose to flirt with men.

Does a back to back playthrough work?

Basically I want to know if there is enough of a difference choosing different skills to make a b2b playthrough feel fresh or would I be better off giving some time before giving it another go.

Is this a typical experience?

I am on day 1, it is 10pm. My exhaustion is at 9 and my hp is capped at 3. I am trying to progress time toward midnight so that I can finally go to the place I believe I need to go in order to long rest. However, everything left that I seem to find has encounters or skill checks that are super high dc due to the exhaustion and just end up killing me. I've died at 10pm probably like 10 times now just trying to push the game toward midnight to deal with the exhaustion.
