I'm really enjoying Esoteric Ebb even tho I fell off Disc Elysium. The setting helps a lot. For those unaware, Esoteric Ebb is very much the same mechanics as Disco but with D&D trappings. You assign the basic 6 stats, and they offer you council as voices in your head. Disco was too bleak for me, it just was an unpleasant time. And the particular brand of political options available didn't really speak to me. Esoteric Ebb stars the player as a cleric, seemingly just brought back from the dead, trying to solve the explosion of a tea shop days before a city's first ever election. There's still all the politics and morality and intrigue and tension, but in a world that seems to contain more hope. It's overall more vibrant, and the silliness feels less nihilistic too. #discoelysium #esotericebb
