I fairly sure Volition is one of those skills that can cause notable problems (sure it can help, but in some cases it only makes it worse...I've been told) in this game during certain parts, if its high enough. But Its been too long, so I don't remember in what way, or at what level it starts causing trouble. Regardless, I look forward to seeing if he feeds it points, and what actually happens if he does. I don't recall watching any playthrough where someone puts that much into it.
@@NoName-lk8ij I can tell, I don't know why but it has that "disgusting" charm. I really don't quite know how to explain it, it feels artsy but deliberate and hits me in my funny bone. I haven't quite laughed as much as what that opening scene did. Though, now I'm a little weary since there's something going on with the original creators and the company
@@PicassosCat I highly recommend playing it for yourself, idk about buying it though. 😳I just think it's an experience that a watched playthrough will never properly give you. Also, you should've seen my reaction to the legal business going on, it's sad but kinda poetic given the content lmao
Bricky tried to create his own archetype to better suit his own immersion. Then he proceeded to recreate the Sensitive archetype, with the only difference being that the Volition is the Signature skill instead of an Inland Empire.

I appreciate that Bricky seems to gone into this blind. I find Disco Elysium to be the most fun when it reflects the player as they (mostly) are. I hope the rest of the playthrough delivers similar vibes.
The necktie is a fun little wake-up call to those who make builds that are purely intellectual. It needs a Dex check, and a STR check when you turn on the lights. If you fail it with your sole starting hit point ...
And yet, it feels like if you succeed those physical checks, but don't have points in intelligence, the necktie is gonna make fun of you for the rest of the game.
Inland Empire is really fun, but all of the stuff under psyche is really cool. Disco Elysium is one of those games that really is just too amazing. That opening. God damn. Glad to see Bricky is playing it.
I remember playing this game and refusing to see my face or acknowledge my name or rank at all. Alcohol birthed me anew and I accepted this new begining. Amazing game
I can’t express how much I love disco, you’re in for the emotional roller coaster of a lifetime man. I didn’t think I’d like it that much but by the time I was done it became easily my favorite game of all time. Genuine piece of fucking art.
bricky, youre in for one wild ride. Your analogy for this being a 1 man dnd game is kind of spot on, only addition i would make is that your stats are also your party members. Also not a command, or attempt at backseating, just a minor suggestion, but in the menu with the 6 rectangles at the bottom you can pull up all your stats and reading the info section for each one is some great content and helpful for understanding what they actually are and how they could help. remember to always have fun, cause being lame and safe isnt very disco.
@@PoolNoodleGundam oh yeah i imagine so i managed to nail it running a int/mot with the dictionary skill as the main one. Got that bad boy up to like 10 and dear god it never shut the hell up, but having int/mot be super high made evidence copping super easy. In my current run I'm basically doing something similar, but i took a few points from int/mot to push psyche up a bit just for esperit de corps.
This is seriously one of the best RPGs if not generally games of all time. And when I call this an RPG, I actually mean it's a *Role-Playing* game. You actually have to make decisions as a character and the entire game is all about the choices you make in talking to people. Everything happens through dialogue and the game straight-up will force you to make meaningful choices at time if you try to play the middle road too much lol. Even if you're just playing as yourself instead of as a made-up character, the game still makes you role play as yourself. And there's so so many ways that things can play out based on those choices, it's just so good. And just so you know, don't worry about not knowing something like where the currency is from or the "Marvel Hill" expression and such. The game takes place in a completely fictional setting and it assumes that you, like the protagonist, knows literally nothing about the world around you until someone explains it for you. So apart from the few things it actually references from the real world, if you don't know what something is, just roll with it and you can usually ask someone about it either immediately or later. Also it's good to pay attention to when a choice has Quotation Marks or not. If it does you're saying it out-loud, otherwise it's just an internal thought, which you can usually freely go through without progressing the outward conversation
Its always interesting how different people play this game, like I spent a solid 6 hours or something exploring the town before I even looked at the body in my playthrough
My anxiety somehow carries over to video games so I will never be able to play this, but luckily I have Bricky here to brave the embarrassing and no doubt socially damaging choices that would've given me a panic attack. Luv ya, Brick!
I assure you it's worth putting yourself out of your comfort zone. I haven't played a lot of new games from front to back, but I played through this one a year ago and it is one of my favorite games of all time. I even made it a small way into a second run, which is significant for me.
No doubt this would nudge its way into my top ten. I've tried several times but could never muster up the courage to continue. I'm sure one day when I sort some things out I'll be able to. For now I'll watch on the side lines. Thanks for the kind words tho.
@@fawaaztoefy9334 As someone with severe anxiety issues (I currently take three separate medications just to function), you can do it. There are moments that'll make you feel terrible, but it's all worth it for the satisfaction you get in the end. Disco Elysium is a game where you are rarely locked into a terrible situation just by making one bad choice. And even if you do say something without completely thinking through its ramifications, there are lots of ways out of bad situations that don't require dice rolls. You have to go out of your way to come off as an asshole by consistently and intentionally making bad decisions.
@@DovahFett Harry is the most pathetic and endearing person imaginable, and that makes him probably one of the best underdogs in a story. Also the game expects you to fail at some point. That's part of the narrative and themes of the story.

This is going to be great I can't wait to see you play it, if you don't mind reading the info on the skills gives you everything you need and it's kind of funny, also you should pick the non "bracketed" answers more talk with yourself.
Recently finished this game and became obsessed with it and been looking for lets plays lol. This is one of those games that comes along once every few years if that.
I started my own play-through yesterday and I find it hilarious that me and sparky both made high psyche character’s and crowned volition, literally the indomitable human spirit perk, a friend from within.
The most important question, not having started to watch yet- how long before he falls for Kitsuragi. Because.. yeah friend or otherwise no one can resist Kim.
Holy shit, I just finished this game for myself and was looking for content creators I loved to see if they made this. Hope you enjoy this one, it was one of the most special games I've ever played. Both the funniest and one of the most mature games I've ever played. It's in the same tier as Outer Wilds for me (a astronomical task as you well know).
I stopped watching your gameplay videos on Disco Elysium because I had to try the game myself. It was an incredible experience and I thank you for exposing me to Disco Elysium.
The beggining dialogue is what hooked me to the game. Actually thought that was my characters voice but no audio for the main character because it was pre 100%voice over update. Which then turn it into a proper game audio book
I fucking love how INSTANTLY you become Harry at 31:45 ish, with the face of utter shame for leaving the body in the tree for seven days 🤣 His sins became yours so seamlessly
On my first playthrough at last and Bricky's brain is so suited to this game it's unreal haha. I planned to play ahead of Bricky's progress so as not to spoil the game but this game is SO fc*king dense that every single playthough will be considerably different. It's one of the VERY few games where I feel I shouldn't watch any streamer at all, even if I'm well ahead of them, because things can turn out so different, at so many opportunities.

1 intelligence, 5 psyche, 4 physique.
All i can say is that it's good that Volition is 6 because it will need to work a lot to keep him alive
Man has ZERO willpower
Volition is not afaraid of a little hard work, not like that pussy Empathy.
Volition is a good friend to have
I had a similar build and did just fine. Any build can work.
he basicly re-made one of the pre-made classes with just a differnt signature skill
Best game ever made, excited to see how Bricky handles it
Edit: he turned off chat thank god
When does he turn it off? It's really spoiling the experience for me rn
Second best game.* Outer Willds exists.

It is ok to be weird and bizarre in Disco. Don’t be afraid to take the weirdo options.
Bricky: why would I want to be hobocop?
Also Bricky: immediately wants to get into the dumpster under any circumstance.
Bricky tried to create his own archetype to better suit his own immersion.
Then he proceeded to recreate the Sensitive archetype, with the only difference being that the Volition is the Signature skill instead of an Inland Empire.
Oh my god, this is going to be glorious
Amen let’s go
Totally disco
Bricky being utterly appalled by Cuno and Cunoess is so hilarious, just wait until he finds out what their living situation is like.
I just wonder why she swears in Finnish of all languages?

This is a very very chill video, an hour has never past so fast

I see, this is a COWARD playthrough! Didn't even use the expression, not suprised.
what do you mean by using yhe expression
Oh your decisions were all so different to mine, this is wonderful to see!
For how much Bricky loves Outer Wilds, I think he’ll adore this game. Super hyped to see how he likes it!
Best way to roll out of pride month is being called the f slur
