Cuno didn't care, until he did

Well said! Also, awesome profile pic! Big fan of Warcraft 3, might make some videos about it down the line!

As soon as I started talking to Cuno, I thought, "Wow, Martinaise isn't a very good place to live, is it?" And wow, I never expected Cuno to have such a bigger role in the third act, and that you can take him in to become a junior officer.

Well said, I remember thinking the same thing myself! He definitely makes it clear, right from the beginning, just how messed up the whole town is. It's so cool that Cuno has a bit of a hidden role in the third act! If only you could bring both him and Kim along with you at the end, that'd have been really cool.

Cuno's attempts not to care were his armour against the world. Iirc, he spends about as much time asking "Why do *you* care?" as insisting that he doesn't and I think the times that Harry answered why did actually effect him. Also, I headcanon that Cuno watched the boat for Harry and Kim and joined up for all the reasons he does in his path.

That's a great point! You're definitely right about it - it's his defense mechanism against the world's evils. Better to pretend he doesn't care then get burned by terrible people, like his father and Cunoesse. That's a great headcannon! I like that idea! Harry, Kim, and Cuno would've been quite the trio there at the end!

There should've been an option to bring Cuno with you as a second companion if you win the tribunal. You'd have to have run through the whole drug scene first though, to get his full respect. It sucks that'll probably never happen due to the IP bs going on...

I totally agree! That would've been an awesome addition to the game - can't imagine anything better than rolling into the Sea Fortress with both Kim and Harry at your side. Would've been a sight for the rest of Precinct 41, too!

In the Russian games Pathologic and Pathologic 2, your first introduction to Notkin, the leader of a local child gang, is him giving you a quest to murder a rival gang member who's also a child.

@@owlbatross9187 If you like Disco Elysium, I'd recommend checking out Pathelogic 2. Like Disco Elysium, it's a really well written and philosophical RPG from Eastern Europe, but the gameplay is a lot different. Great video, by the way!

Really glad you made this deep dive on Cuno and his contributions to the overall experience. Was a pleasure to hear your thoughts

Thanks!

Cuno es definitivamente mi personaje favorito del juego. Esta tarde me pase Disco Elysium por 5° vez, porque descubrí lo de Cuno como acompañante y eso tenía que experimentarlo. No puedo no fantasear con cuno como protagonista de aquel Disco Elysium 2 cancelado... Para mí, el final canon es en el que te llevas a cuno. Muy buen video por cierto, like y sub nuevo. Saludos desde españa!!

i was big stupid the first time i played and had that thought that makes you fail all red checks equipped going into the tribunal 😂 but im glad i stuck with it instead of immediately reloading my save bc the ending with cuno was amazing

The ending with Cuno is indeed great! It pained me to let Kim down, but I love how it positions Cuno for a brighter future

what? you sayin I can put Cuno in my party????? What happens to Kim? Oh god, i need to play this game again

@owlbatross9187

7 ай бұрын

You sure can! To get Cuno in your party, Kim has to get wounded during the Tribunal. To do that, you'll need to either fail to warn Kim about the mercenary who's about to shoot him or simply choose not to do so. It's such a great game, I find new things every time I play it!

Wow! I didn't know Cuno can join me, it would be great to see .. but idk seen Kim getting shot idk if I can take it xD I love Kim

That's a great comparison! The Cuno ending definitely has some connections to that story!

I desperately want to experience the cuno ending but I can’t bring myself to simply let Kim get shot. So I’m gonna purposefully give myself as many debuffs to authority as possible so I can still press the button to try and just guarantee a fail.
