Awesome game. I really enjoy the debate system, and how the resources that you're desperately trying to build up come back to you when you use cards the right way. The only thing I hate about this game is how time consuming it is. I've sunk hours into the game getting through small areas of dialogue, which I do enjoy, but sometimes it goes a little slow which also makes it so much worse because there's no cutscene skip for when I've lost in an area and trying to get back to the fight itself. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but my debates can last an irl hour or two, which does not help with the time consuming nature of the game.

An hour?! Whew, that's... That's quite a bit. I guess I need to consider further balance changes...

Something that might help with dialog length is using the "fastforward" button-- which is mapped to "shift" by default (the same key as the run button). You can use this to skip through text, which is useful if you're not interested in re-reading.

i havent encountered the same problem but i do understand not wanting to redo an entire dialogue because you lost a fight. Id recommend to save right before entering a battle

 (which i know you usually cant cus the battles are sprung on you but u can still do it on the second try)

 As for the battles taking you hours idk what to say i havent encountered that problem the battles usually take like 10 minutes and it takes 2 tries for the hard ones.

edit: id like to add that im getting a delay on when to turn starts and when i can select cards  of like 20 seconds and its really annoying

That delay sounds like it could be a bug, or perhaps hardware-related. Would you say your PC is underpowered? Does the game appear to be lagging otherwise? (I may have gone too crazy with the lighting in some of the debate stages...)

honnestly yea its probably hardware related since the dialogue boxes also delay sometimes so dont worry about it ( also my pc is poopoo )

yeah, I think it’s due to me making really bad decks. I once accidentally screwed myself over by selecting an argument that used the law one (forgot what it’s called,) when I didn’t have much of the things in my deck, so whenever I’d get close to pulling it, he’d have a good amount of time to have amassed his resources that I relentlessly beat down to whack my law things back to 0. And unfortunately, my rounds against tough opponents end up like that, thankfully it’s only been two, one of which I didn’t beat yet, cuz I don’t have as much time to play anymore.

id recommend only making decks with two of the three things since they are more consistent and easier to shield

but I didn’t have enough arguments to use only two elements.

You don't? As far as I know, even in the most extreme case, you should be able to switch to a Logos/Ethos deck, or an Ethos/Pathos deck. Swap one of your non-Ethos arguments with Law and Order. 

Tricolor decks are still workable, but they're tricky to wrap your head around.

Now I do, but at the time, I had 2 for logos, 1 for pathos, and 1 for law (forgot what that is called)

Maybe try something like 9-8-4 distribution of premises? That works great for me.

Beat it now, used a 10-5-3 distribution (10-3-5?) After building a decent deck, I beat the professor pretty easily.
