disco elysium utilizes its mechanics for storytelling and makes witty references to them in order to affect the player more, that's obvious

here's some of my favourite moments of that:

kim literally won't let you end the dialogue despite there being [Leave.] . he can override game mechanics because you fucked up so much

the classic. you are manipulated on the level of your character - you need to be extra careful with klaasje because you are given faulty options to begin with.

the multiple times the game makes fun of harry running everywhere. players go fast, people dont, it's noticable

visual calculus overriding a fail after the tribunal

multiple times skills will be frustrated at you if you fail or just are bad at them:

and times they are so fucking sure they are correct:

there's a lot more of course, like the talking in lists with dolores dei, and thoughts in particular have a lot of those! the white mourning thought increasing zoom out distance, for example. i might have a closer look at them later but those above are just more direct and dont require taking apart, really

HDB & Kim (first two pics by @/kimkitsufroggy on twitter, height comparison by @/moonmilk95 on twitter). I think Kim is ambidextrous. Also his arms r so thin compared to Harry’s damn

And their faces (side profiles by @/sygneth)

Approximate heights (by @/ph-cutie)

Bonus as a little funny thing (by @/stupidmoronguy on pikabu)

[id: 4 digital sketches of harry du bois and skills from disco elysium with their political prompt. first drawing is rhetoric hiding behind a bush wearing the revolutionary hat and the groucho marx sunglasses/moustache combo. it calls out to harry, who is looking over his shoulder, as it says: "Hey, psst… Psst, hey, YOU! Word on the street is you're ready to start building Communism again!"

the second sketch is of harry, in underwear, undershirt, and hat, holding open a door. savoir faire stands in the doorway, using one set of arms to shoot finger huns, one arm against the door frame, another pair crossed, and holding a briefcase. it says "Wow. You work hard." harry has his open mouth agape.

the third sketch is harry sitting on the toilet, reading, wearing the hjelmdallerman shirt. rumbling from his stomach is endurance's speech bubble: "It's clear you like the hard stuff, brother."

the last drawing is a mock screenshot of a news anchor booth. empathy, in suit and bowtie holding a stack of paper says: "What's this? We're getting reports of normal, reasonable, temperate political opinions somewhere in Martinaise…." Beside empathy is a picture of harry picking his nose with the caption: "LIVE CENTRIST CAM" undernerath. the newsplash underneath reads: "BREAKING NEWS: GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY." /end id]

Uh-huh, proof positive that I need to plan out my arts better. I originally started this because I wanted to just do a simple drawing of what I think it feels like to be can opened by Harry, then it turned into a fully-rendered painting, then I had to add Kim because I have a hard time not putting in the best person that ever didn't actually live, and THEN I was going to add a bunch of Harry's Voices around but just ended up with Volition there in the background because it was too busy...ah, well, it's done :) In good news, I REALLY like how Kim turned out, though; I think I'm finally learning how to draw him.

Once again, check out my Disco Elysium playlist; I've literally spent hours agonizing over each song xD; https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2kxbgZlbScsIJcpYCCZoYo?si=8b753a4a2b024c6a

Okay I've had this project open for like. Way too long now and I've hit a brick wall with it but i still would like to share what I have so here's this idea I've been mulling around about the disco skills being court jesters. I only have the psyche skills done but hopefully soon I'll have the inspiration for the others and also fully color these. Enjoy
