Now we will work on getting a second thought for our cabinet that helps with bonus XP. You start with three thought cabinet slots unlocked but must spend skill points to unlock more, I will mention when to do so. The thought cabinet is similar to the skill tree in that we will occasionally unlock new thoughts to learn and once finished, they provide bonuses to skills and/or dialogue. Press and then three times, highlight Jamais Vu with and then internalize it using to start learning it while you talk with people, as time only passes during dialogue, not when in menus or just sitting idle. You will now have Jamais Vu ready to be internalized in the thought cabinet. You will find a woman in a green coat standing on a boat, this is Joyce. Hold down to zoom out if needed and walk left down the stairs, then go north at the tree all the way up to the pier. This will give us the task 'Get a reality lowdown' which will give us Jamais Vu. Now go talk with the woman in the wheelchair using options 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3, 4. Talk with Kim using options 2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 1, 1.

Find your other shoe out here and pick it up to unlock the achievement:īack inside the hotel, ignore the woman, head downstairs and walk all the way to the guy in orange.

Exit the door to the bottom left to the balcony. Use outside of menus to highlight things in the world. Exit the room and inspect the table on the west side to find some money. Inspect the cassette tape on the floor and be sure to pick it up (this may take a few moments). Skill checks are too high right now to continue with the mirror. Inspect the mirror in the bathroom and wipe it clean to reveal your portrait on the UI. Utilize quick save, inspect the broken window on the west side of the room and follow all the dialogue to gain the task to find your shoe. You will find your room key in the pants after interacting with the thought orb that appears (this is required). Pick up the pants, shirt, shoe and jacket from around the room, but make sure to unequip your shirt for now. Highlight the fan first, pull the fan cord and then grab the tie by passing the skill check, reload if needed (if you fail the check). Day 1 - Character PreparationĪfter waking up, make a save and use to move your character, to highlight objects, to interact with objects, to open your menu for inventory and journal, use, ,, to cycle through inventory categories. From now on, experience will be abbreviated to xp. Ignore these for now until Jamais Vu is learned, as you will then gain experience from interacting with them. Thought orbs also appear in nearly every area of the game, these are coloured green, yellow, red or blue. Any time you see a white circle around your character, a thought orb will be interactable. To maximize experience gained, we will be getting the Jamais Vu thought for our thought cabinet (I'll explain this once we have it) in order to get experience for interacting with 'Thought Orbs'. The tallies won’t be visible right away but I will mention it when available. When we start making progress towards the dialogue achievements, such as moral or liberal choices, you can double check their tally rank by opening the inventory with button and moving to the journal tab this even works during conversations with NPC’s. MAKE SURE NOT TO SPEND ANY SKILL POINTS AND UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED, BE SURE TO LEAVE THE CLOTHING EQUIPPED WHICH YOU PICK UP AFTER WAKING UP, UNTIL I TELL YOU TO SWAP CLOTHING!!!

Be sure to finalize your choices and watch the intro scenes, choosing any dialogue you like. We will be equipping and unequipping clothing as needed once we get started. This can be lower depending on clothing equipped, or higher for the same reason. As we start the game, most of our skill checks will have a very manageable success rate of about 30%. This will make our character average in all attributes, allowing us to boost each individual skill as we need it. Signature skills are nothing more than a bonus skill point at the start of the game. On the next screen we can choose our signature skill, place it on PERCEPTION to boost it to rank 4. Using the d-pad, adjust each attribute to rank 3, lowering and raising each one as needed. After choosing new game, choose the far right option to create your own character build. This guide follows a specific character build.
