Just got Disco Elysium since I keep hearing how it’s great.

I’m debating Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Both are super cheap without DLC and pretty cheap with the DLC. I’ve owned both historically back in the day but neither survived and apparently I didn’t get them on steam back then. The DLCs would really be interesting at this point but I am so cheap I can’t convince myself

Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.

The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.

Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don’t give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.

  Damn, that article is from 2022. Did they get recourse?

    It’s probably all still in litigation. A big defensive for legal challenges such as this is to prespone as much as possible to run out funds for the claiment.

Two of my favourite games being mentioned? I have been summoned.

Disco Elysium is an absolutely amazing visual novel+. Treat it like a novel whose pages you can read in any order. It doesn’t really behave like a classic RPG, the dialogue options are very un-punishing. Feel free to explore them, feel free to be weird, feel free to commit to wacky ideas. The game rewards that. Lastly: the murder case exists as scaffolding, not purpose. Don’t tunnel vision on it, enjoy exploring the world building, the characters and the protagonist.

If you’re only playing one of those two Fallout games then New Vegas should be a no-brainer, especially if you haven’t played its DLCs. Those are, in my opinion, the very best content New Vegas has to offer and should definitely not be missed. Each DLC is extremely different, and they’re all so good that I can never decide which is my favourite.

    As do I, as do I. And still I purchased more only just now.
    
    Enjoy the FNV DLCs! Make sure to play Lonesome Road last, as that is the culmination of the DLC storyline. I recommend starting with Honest Hearts, and then Dead Money and OWB can he played in any order in the middle. I probably prefer OWB first.
