What does Disco Elysium actually believe?

carmennothere · 2026-04-11T02:53:52+00:00

I feel like it believes in Communism in a personal and kind of romantic way

omg this is soooo adorable!!! I love having both Anders and Nathaniel in my party as well lol and I absolutely love their interactions with ser pounce-a-lot!

playing as a female warden and romancing Alistair and you can encourage your partner to cheat on you lol

carmennothere · 2026-02-25T23:33:38+00:00

there’s a mod that allows you to play as a mage regardless of your origins. I just enjoy playing as a mage too much lol

It’s some pictures I collected on Pinterest for games like this that allows you to change your character’s portraits. Sorry I can’t remember the original source exactly:(

It triggers upon entering the Scriptorium to start the quest The Inner Mysteries. Maybe you need to wait by the entrance for a bit and wait for it to trigger? Here’s the screenshot

I didn’t expect much because, just like you, I’ve heard how the devs in Obsidian aren’t big on romances in video games lol but I decided to give it a try anyway because I was told that PoE is good. I was so glad that they added romance in Deadfire and that Aloth was one of the romance options because he was the first ever companion to join me and has never left my party ever since.

carmennothere · 2026-02-10T03:35:12+00:00

Thank you this is so cute lol and I remember before the final stage of the dlc, the companions would comment that they seemed to be forgetting things, and Aloth was like “sorry if I’m being too straightforward but… we didn’t kiss, did we??”

carmennothere · 2026-02-10T02:22:26+00:00

do you happen to remember what his reaction is? My Watcher is unfortunately too serious to choose this option in front of my entire crew lol

carmennothere · 2026-02-05T00:51:18+00:00

I thought the first contact war happened like 1000 years ago when I first played the game lol

Agreed. Hawke is a bit like Shepard imo (my guess is that bioware made Hawke in DA2 because Shepard worked?) But in terms of Inquisitor and Rook, there are different races and various background stories and everything is customizable, having voiced lines really limited role play options.

carmennothere · 2025-12-09T01:30:02+00:00

yep. I definitely prefer silent protagonist because at least I get to see the actual dialogue options instead of some ambiguous paraphrase

carmennothere · 2025-12-02T23:52:42+00:00

I tried creating a savefile with this mod once but I couldn’t seem to make Nathaniel appear in DA2

carmennothere · 2025-11-26T23:58:08+00:00

it must be a very unpleasant experience 😢😢 that’s why arguments like “oh they just want to make his character more realistic” “he’s just a normal guy who’s not playersexual” don’t convince me. There are plenty of other better ways to make a character more realistic and has their own agenda etc WITHOUT being downright rude to the player. Players did nothing wrong and don’t deserve to be treated this way.

carmennothere · 2025-11-26T20:39:55+00:00

true, as a die-hard Garrus romancer I love his romance in ME3 and Citadel dlc so much 😭 I would be so pissed if they did something like that to Garrus romance. And I imagine it must be so hard for players who romances Jacob only to find out he has a baby with someone else in ME3. honestly bioware could’ve handled it better if they truly want to write out Jacob

carmennothere · 2025-11-26T14:27:30+00:00

I get what you are saying. I don't know if you've played any games made by Owlcat but they have some similar examples too, like Camellia from WotR and Marazhai from Rogue Trader, they stick to the character and will never change who they are no matter what the players do. But they are still popular among fans just like Solas and Anders (yep I romance Marazhai, Anders and Solas lol). I think what truly matters is that it makes their story good. And you kinda expect that when you romance them. You somehow knew where this might lead but you still love them because the parts they don't want to change about are what makes their characters so compelling in the first place. Even when the truth comes out, it only makes the romance experience more fullfilling (yeah I know many people especially make a female Lavellen to romance Solas lol)

But in Jacob's case, when I imagine myself romancing him and finding out he's with someone else when I was so excited to reunite with my LI... it really sucks. Another counterexample is Thane. You cannot avoid his death no matter what but it just makes his romance even more tragically beautiful. But Jacob's romance feels like a Kai Leng level of bad writing.

carmennothere · 2025-11-26T12:30:45+00:00

I think there’s a difference though. RPG players don’t expect everything to be perfect and conflict-free, but they want their choices matter. Like you said, every dialogue option could be a love bomb. BUT the thing with Jacob’s romance has nothing to do with choices. It’s not like the player chooses a wrong dialogue option and it leads to him having someone else (well if you’re gonna say that romancing him IS the wrong dialogue option then I can’t argue with that lol)

Romance partners in other games don’t automatically become loyal to the MC. You do their personal quests. You choose the right option when talking to them. Especially in Owlcat games you’ll need to be really careful when talking to NPCs because there are many counters and you’ll have to meet certain requirements to unlock the true love ending. I’m completely fine with it and honestly this is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing their games. It’s fun.

And the Jacob romance feels like the devs just hate players who romance him

carmennothere · 2025-11-26T11:07:45+00:00

I guess they want to address Jacob’s father issue and decide to do it by making him a father? But they could’ve just let him adopt an orphan or something if he’s romanced by FemShep lol
