it’s understandable to see folks saying pre-amnesia harry is a fixed character and your choices in the game can’t change who he was. but it’s also fascinatingly incorrect

when you talk to idiot doom spiral about your tequila sunset escapade, idiot doom spiral tells the story of that night slightly differently depending on what political leanings you’ve chosen, and what “copotype” you’ve adopted

I know it’s a small thing but I noticed it in game and immediately thought “oh it’s cool that the game changes who harry used to be based on how you play him now”

but other people seem really confident that there is only one pre-amnesia harry du bois so 🤔 idk what to make of that. it seems like there is a case for disagreement here

#disco elysium #disclaimer: yes I know all of the many things that aren’t changeable about him #i have read his wikipedia ok but this isn’t about that #this is about the suggestion that his pre-canon life can be read in more than one context #and the game actively encourages that? with this idiot doom spiral convo #like if you act like a communist now the game says pre-amnesia harry was a communist too etc
