Just checked out a Disco Elysium speedrun to see what they could do to this game, and it turns out there’s (at least in some versions) a glitch that lets you start with max stats/skills. So they put on their pants, run outside, grab kim, grab money from the company rep, buy a book, and then read (skipping time) for two days until the map opens up and they can solve the entire case. They notably:
- Do not examine the corpse, you know, the one whose murder you are solving
- Do not put any thought in the thought cabinet
- Do not remember their name or face
- Do not examine the car
- Talk to Kim like twice
- Never talk to several characters like Evrart
- Do not save Kim during the tribunal
- Never visit the church
- Don’t have the ex-something dream
- Don’t talk to the [REDACTED] because they didn’t do any side content
- I feel the need to emphasize, they never put on a goddamn shirt or any shoes
So to summarize, an amnesiac, half-naked freak-of-nature with 0 thoughts in his head wakes up, haggles his way out of debt and into money, re-reads a trashy fantasy novel for two solid days, and then solves a bizarre murder mystery single-handedly, forcing his precinct to reluctantly take him back, all while having never learned a single lesson about himself or the world.
