HARRY DU BOIS - Disco Elysium (Part 10)

[@Choco-Rune]

This Verbal Boss Battle is so neat Also Disco wanting to cry thinking about the kids is so sad and endearing

[@tapiocaheartsyt]

@Choco-Rune I agree, it's really great characterization for him as a man broken by the brutal reality of being unfit for police work

6:34 ok so there is a cop show called The Wire and one of the writers was an ex cop. There os a scene in the show where a hung over detective talks about using "soft eyes". Basically the idea that when you're brain is in an altered state you can notice things or form connections that you would never normally.

Not suggesting that it is exactly what's going on here, just a interesting aside

[@tapiocaheartsyt]

@@PhiltheMoko that is fascinating, I could see how it would lead to unique deductions!

Don't worry about speaking over the dialogue, your commentary is always insightful - and if I wanted to listen to dialogue that I have heard before, I would just watch a silent walkthrough. As for your ideas on how the skills work, you are pretty much on the money. Esprit de Corps is not the only supernatural skill, Shivers is like Esprit de Corps, but it is connected to the literal soul of Revachol herself (and yes, she goes by She/Her, making her one of the many girlbosses throughout the game.) Inland-Empire is a mixture of intuition/gut feelings and the ability to literally peer beneath the surface of reality itself, and the rest are just as you said; our boy Harry casually acting as a contact microphone on the concept of human experience itself. And yes - Harry is short for something, and you will find out about what it is later! Along with many other things in regard to his past. Right, sorry for my shorter than intended comment, I've been *extremely* busy and this is mostly a stopgap. If I am able, I'll go through the videos and write out another comment - but for now - thank you for this video and I hope you have a wonderful day!

@pessimisticnihilist3691 thank you so much for the insight, the supernatural abilities Harry displays have been so fascinating to parse and come to understand. I enjoyed this part of the game quite a bit, and uncovering more about what Mr Du Bois has been up to only makes me more excited to unravel the mystery. Thank you for the well wishes, I'm doing my best to bring the series back!

As it's been brought up, personally I'm not a huge fan of talking over the dialogue, sometimes it can make it a bit hard to catch what you are saying. I do agree that your commentary is great, it's just a personal preference so please don't take to heart too much 😁

[@tapiocaheartsyt]

@@PhiltheMoko i will keep that in mind, I do want to make sure my voice is heard! I'm glad you like my commentary! :3
