Philosophical, you say?

 

Bandits: Halt, this is a stickup. Give us all your weapons.

 

Player: Why do you need all our weapons?

 

Bandits: Because, um... we just need them.

 

Player: But, why?

 

Bandits: To shoot stuff with.

 

Player: Can you not already shoot stuff with the weapons you have?

 

Bandits: Well yeah, but.. 

 

Player: If I remove the bullets, then give you the weapons, would you still want them?

 

Bandits: Well, that would kind of defeat the purpose....

 

Player: So you don't really want my weapons, you just want the bullets.

 

Bandits: Well, yeah... uh.. I guess.

 

Player: Here you go. *gives five bullets*

 

Bandits: Thanks!

 

Player: *leaves. loots fifteen bullets from chests on way out.*

This looks like the kind of thing that's going to make me really appreciate just how good Disco Elysium is in comparison.

Broken Roads is a post-apocalyptic CRPG in the classic vein: 'We are unashamedly copying Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Pillars 2, Baldur's Gate' | PC Gamer

Here's how Australian Broken Roads is: instead of magic potions, you drink beer. Game director Craig Ritchie casually mentions this when listing consumables, alongside bandages and first aid kits. "You can't get magic potions in our game so we have multiple sources of beer," he says. "The beers have different abilities."

 

Broken Roads is so Australian one of its character archetypes is summed up as someone who "wouldn't even blink in a shit storm." Funny thing is, this post-apocalyptic homage to classic RPGs like Fallout wasn't always set in Australia. It wasn't even always an RPG.
