Has anyone here played all the game sober? (Not you but the character I mean!) Care to share their experience?

I’ve only ever played the game on a sober run, Harry seemed to spend most of the game suffering from the cumulative hangover of five back to back benders and I couldn’t imagine wanting to make that worse .

ending infoThe cops in the end seemed genuinely surprised and had to break through their disbelief that Harry could actually be sober for a whole week.

ty for censoring that because it's basically the only effect of playing without chemical enhancements

There’s a smidge of recognition at the end if you do it sober, but not a ton of commentary throughout iirc

Cool. I still have to play this game as a communist, and I wanted to make a character who is strictly anti intoxicating substances, ultra nerdy, anti idealism and anti authority. So, low on skills like "authority", "espirit de corps", "inland empire", "shivers", and of course "electrochemistry".

About his signature skill, I was thinking about "rethoric" for this case. What do you all think?

Perfect strat. Be prepared to take physical and dextrous Ls while reading hella lore. EDC, shivers, and inland empire can provide some of the best dialogue in the game, but this is a solid first time playthrough that should get you into the head of the main character.

I do not remember playing this game sober, either me or the character. I did recycle a lot of bottles though
