I finished ATOM RPG not too long ago was looking for a new RPG to play. So far I've read the Disco Elysium : Beginner's Guide on Steam but I was wondering if there was anything else I should be aware of.

I will be playing on the Steam Deck. I don't think that matters much because according to ProtonDB the game works fine.

Also I was curious if it has any of the issues like I had playing LA Noire where you are occasionally stuck looking for a needle in a haystack or running into ambiguous dialogue that where you can fail and it prevents you from progressing with a character or situation. I am less worried about the latter because it seems to have a system where you can save anywhere and dialogue options are written out instead of LA Noire's prompt system.

Don't worry about minmaxing or failing. You can't fail in a way that permanently blocks off progression and if you want to you can savescum the non-repeatable checks but they're not necessary.

In my opinion, this type of game is best enjoyed by just picking whatever speaks to you in terms of skills, dialogue choices etc and only using online help when you're really stuck which shouldn't be often if you take your time exploring the world and interacting with the characters.
