Its a RPG instead i will give you reason why its not a good RPG.

Gameplay is barebones, you dont have to do anything but pick dialogue choices. Imagine if you had to actually make deductions, solve puzzles and come to conclusions in your investigation or in your exploration, but nuhuh ZA/UM doesn't trust their players to be able to do any of that, instead they will give you this floating dot like a planet around the star to indicate to you any subtle thing happening.

And if by any chance you ever replay this game you will be disappointed how lacking it is in branching paths & choice and consequence. Its literally worse than Witcher in that regard.
You have two types of choices the red checks and the white checks and only one of them changes/permanent and ultimately it barely changes the endings, its just a few changes in lines at the end, not even a new unique path or something. There is one unique ending but its simply a game over screen, not bad but not as good as an actual 2nd ending.';

there's political shit in it, true, and it's not very sophisticated. but it's not twitter retard tier, it's not as bad as 4chan makes it out to be. right wingers make you think it's all american twittertard politics all the time... and the left wingers who defend the game make you think it really is that bad. but it's really not. i'd say the game made me cringe and groan only like 3 times. and the politcal shit is secondary, the primary focus of the game is character writing and drama and most of the time it's good.';

In the sense that your new build will change dialogue fluff then yes, there is a replay value there, you will witness and hear different lines of dialogue at certain points, you may also get inside a place via another means, but thats about it, nothing really major.
The endings are going to be the same, and the path towards them is going to be the same, so its just a replay for the dialogue lines.

This kind of thing is fine in a AAA RPG with huge focus on world, gameplay and cinematics, but when its a game that barely has anything and all it has is dialogue then its fucking disappointing, cause thats like the main selling point of the game.

Exactly, but thats a major sin for it.
Unlike other RPGs like Witcher, BG, Pathfinder and Dragon Age. Disco Elysium puts huge emphasize on dialogue and storytelling that it being limited in that kinda ruins its status.
You can forgive a huge game with lots of other elements if it had less choices and branching paths but Disco Elysium never bothers to invest into anything other than dialogue and story so for it to fail on delivering on that front makes the matter worse.

I was very disappointed with my 2nd run as well, after hearing endless amount of praise of this supposed complex CRPG only for it to have 1 ending with 3 variation and zero branching paths, few checks that barely matter.
I ended up having the same playthrough but instead of generic fluff communism, you may get generic fluff fascism pulled for you straight from the depths of reddit.
People made fun of Cyberpunk but it had way better choice and consequence system, and at least the choices you made can give you multiple different endings.

You summed it up perfectly, it puts a good facade on the first run, it will trick the player into thinking there is a lot of choices to take, but all the illusion breaks on a 2nd run.';

Intimidation is a class skill for barbarians (also fighters) in 3rd ed, and the pre-canned barbarian package (I know, I know) has four points dumped in it at level 1. Also grants a +4 modifier to intimidate checks for every size category you are above the target.

Completing objectives. Often obscure, intimately based on the character of the unbelievable loser you play as.

You are meant to explore (through dialogue) different ideas about your perceptions of the environment. Often if you do these before attempting one of these skill checks, you'll get bonus points that make it easier.
Your clothes also take or give skill points, so what typically happens is you dress differently before tackling different checks.
Doesn't change outcomes really. It's more of a guided thing where you have to do it one way to progress. In most cases where you as the player have an idea how to respond to a situation, there are no such options available.';

>see, why make me elaborate just to go "nuh uh"?
Lol because your point is bullshit. You can’t even elaborate because you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re going to project your own mommy and daddy issues onto people for liking the game, you should at least try to figure out what the hell you’re talking about first.

You still haven’t given me any examples of what you consider to be “real” issues, btw.';

'>>3484518
you'll figure it out if you grow up.';

Sasuga, troll-kun.';

'>>3484534
it's not an interesting question. i'm here to criticize, not to teach.';

'>>3484537
Whatever floats your boat, troll-kun.';

'>>3483830
Thats like every Disco Trashisum fan.';

I'm 14 and this is deep - the game';

I'd say you do if you can't discern the difference. Think really hard a "role" playing game. Just because something has trait system doesn't make it an RPG. If you played point and click games you wouldn't even think it was a RPG either.';

'>>3484548
yeah, it works for me. the most basic form of childish midwit argument is "oh you think this is is stupid, well you write something better". it's not my job to write their stories for them, but it's my pleasure to react to them.';

'>>3475749
It is an adventure game with RPG elements.';

>implying you could even if you wanted to
For a coward who won’t even engage in straight discussion you sure do think highly of yourself.';

'>>3484710
it's beyond even that, why do i have to be able to in order to think it's dumb. this is a receiver perspective, not a creator perspective. plus, i'm engaging in straight discussion, i'm just not allowing you to frame it.';

'>>3483830
that's fine, there are many people who've led what you'd call sheltered and easy lives i'm sure
>well you see the game isn't relatable to people like me, it's only relatable to another group of people!
okay? lol';

'>>3484805
i was merely responding to this retardation
>If you're over the age of 30 and have any life experience whatsoever, then it's a very relatable journey
try to follow along. lol.';

'>>3484808
yes yes you felt the need to point out you were a special snowflake and not like all the other girls, i got it
consider your mission successful my lady';

'>>3484812
no, i just think posturing as being more mature or intelligent for liking a poorly constructed characterization from a depraved mind is laughable. continue to be butthurt at will.';

'>>3484815
if someone is laughable for posturing over liking a videogame, imagine how someone who's posturing over NOT liking a videogame looks like';

'>>3484817
responding in kind is the best form of mockery though. since people who defend video games are especially prone to hate their own medicine.';

'>>3484819
i didn't realize i was talking to a woman on a mission
please carry on with your noble quest to vanquish the video game defenders my lady';

'>>3484820
why do you pretend to look down on women? sour grapes or just a blind assumption that i do?';

'>>3484823
wow you REALLY wanted to get the last word in. okay, i will be leaving the thread now, feel free to hit me with your best retort';

'>>3484831
i love you.';

'>>3475749
Everyone that likes to shill it seems like an enormous faggot whose only claim to maturity is getting molested as a child so I'd say it counts as an RPG.';
