New player needing some small advice.

[Sprinkz]

I'm not asking for any specific advice on a single moment, but I would like to know if my dialogue choices will ever be used against me outside of skill checks.

Like if I give up a specific piece of info will that come back to bite me in the ass? Several times it feels like I find myself thinking "Well I shouldn't tell them about that," and skipping a dialogue option.

Just want to know if that's a valid thought process or if I should just always try to get as much info as possible and not really worry about it.

Quick Edit: Also, does the order in which I ask questions or choose options have any impact?

Relax, this is not the game meant to be played perfectly.

Make mistakes, live a life as Harrier Du Bois.

Taking that as a yes and a yes and a "but do it anyways"

Pretty much my conclusion. Fall into the noob traps and aim for a second playthrough.

I remember messing up one time and that one kid insulted me so I kinda just decided to let my guy die from losing morale and that was hilarious.

Keep goin guy, see all the options, all of it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane and u will either love it or hate it. Become a 50 year old alcoholic feminist who is somehow both simultaneously a free market neoliberal and a communist. Study up on race dynamics. Take a look into the occult. Learn about the homosexual underground.

The world is your scizhophrenic nightmare.

Personally I feel that one of the strengths of the game over your average CRPG is that there aren't really right or wrong answers/questions so it allows you to play more in the mode of what would my character do and not what would I do.

I stumbled into forcing my guy to stop smiling right out the gate.

Kind of informed the whole playthrough.

I am now "Sorry Cop." Shaved my face, no more drugs or booze.

I wanna fix this man. (I know the game will make fun of me for it, it already has.)

It's no longer MY schizophrenic nightmare. It's someone else's and I'm just left picking up the pieces.

Comparing it to the two playthroughs I watched before buying (just the first moments, up to about measurehead) and the two playthroughs I abandoned after a couple hours (again, up to about measurehead,) I find it to be more engaging and I resonate with it a lot more. I need something somber and melancholy in my life right now, and embracing Tequila Sunset would only get in the way of that...as it's really his death I'm investigating, not the hanged man's.
