What stats should I invest into?
As title says. I am a thinker in the game, so wanted to know what would be some good stats to use my points in.
Also while we are at it, what are the best thoughts?

Logic, creativity, skill at art, raw physical power, beauty and charisma.

Bro it's not that kinda game, whatever you vibe with is the correct choice

You don't need to worry too much about specific builds. Authority is pretty useful throughout, but you can get through the game without investing anything in it. The best thoughts also depend on which sidequests you want to complete, as well as your current situation (different thoughts give different temporary bonuses).

Failing is fine though, and is actually a pretty central mechanic. If you have to do a Rhetoric check [e.g], and add 1 point to it right before, your odds will be worse than if you'd tried it, failed, and then added the point afterwards before trying again. You can get through the game with any build, just do what feels right.

Different stats work better with different playstyles and with each other. You also have conflicting stats. Thats why people ask. Some people want to play through mulitple times, some people just want one good playthrough without having to experiment and play the game first to figure it out.

I think after playing it for 40 hours that I don't want to play it multiple times. There are longer games which I have replayed like xcom 2 and the woitcher trilogy, but both of these games were much more engaging than picking lines from a list.

You're right.

So you should do research, and plan out each skill point level, and map out which dialogues you're gonna a choose ahead of time via the reddit flowchart


Optimize your gaming. Semper games.

PICK UP THE "some kind of superstar" THOUGHT, INVEST A POINT INTO LOGIC TO NEGATE THE DOWNSIDE AND THEN DUMP EVERYTHING YOU CAN INTO ELECTROCHEMISTRY
YOU NEED TO DO ALL THE DRUGS BRANTAN. ALL OF THEM
