After playing several hours of Disco Elysium I've come to the conclusion that 1) more games should let you be cringefail. Not every protagonist needs to be awesome or badass. Sometimes playing a pathetic little guy is a lot of fun. And 2) dream sequences are highly underutilized in RPG video games. Don't let resting just be resting!!! Get a little weird with it!! (BG3 kinda-sorta does this with the Dream Visitor, but those aren't really dreams. They're real conversations, so it feels different. Not as interesting.)

#I was on call with my friend who LOVES DE when I did the ''read the letter'' scene and I think they were enjoying my brief flash of panic #when it cut to the title screen.#that's another underutilized mechanic. Scare the shit out of players with fake deaths/game overs.#it really got me although I did pin that it looked different than it did when I actually did die. Plus the dialogue/no reload option.#anyways. petition for more games to get a little weird with it.#also I love the 4th wall break of the company trying to make the RPG in the Doomed Commercial Area. Very funny.#morrigan.text #morrigan plays #disco elysium
