Disco Elysium – White Checks
White Checks
If you lot neglect a white check you lot hold upward harm (mental or physical), but nil happens inward the world, no negative consequences – only the lack of positive ones. You don’t “get” that wacky music, your partner tells you lot to halt trying to larn him fired. The proverbial door inward the dungeon remains closed, the treasure out of reach. The white cheque becomes greyed out. You tin lavatory endeavour 1 time to a greater extent than afterward 1 time you’re improve at it (put to a greater extent than points into the skill), or you lot tin lavatory brand the trace of piece of work easier past times changing the environment.
But if you lot produce succeed you lot larn access to a especial nook inward the content: a bunch of clever things to tell that educate your character, or inadvertedly solving a work somewhere else. You may fifty-fifty abide by an alone novel side-case to accept on, or novel projection for your Thought Cabinet to process. And yes, fifty-fifty a bigger gun, we’re non inward a higher house those. White checks are locked gates for content as well as rewards. (Which nosotros intend of every bit 1 as well as the same). Even finding the gates counts every bit progress. Part of the game is mapping out these “closed doors” as well as thus returning afterward 1 time you lot intend you lot quest what is behind them – or if you’re only curious.
Our Art Director compares white checks to using dynamite to mine to a greater extent than content out of the game. It’s relatively security if you lot excogitation your rolls carefully.
