![]() Abilities and skillsĭisco Elysium puts you into the role of a man who has lost his memory. As he pieces together who he is, he also has to solve a murder. Image: ZA/UM via PolygonĪt the start of Disco Elysium, you can choose between three builds - Thinker, Sensitive, and Physical - that divvy up 12 points among the following four abilities: To do that, you’ll need to make use of four sets of abilities that govern how the main character interacts with the world. Psyche is a measure of your sensitivity and emotional intelligence.Its level determines how well you make sense of the world around you. Physique is a definition of your strength and fortitude.It governs your ability to influence yourself and others. This determines how well your entire body is built, inside and out. This trait also controls your mental and physical agility. You can also make your own build, pouring up to six points into any trait (but still limited to 12 points total). Once you create your own build, you then have to choose a Signature Skill. Each of your four abilities impacts six skills. The level of each ability determines the starting level of each of these 24 skills. Choosing a signature skill will add an additional level to that skill and raises the learning cap for each skill in that class. As you level up, you can add more points to these skills. Read about what each skill does because they act as an influencing force in your dialogue options within the game. Think of all 24 skills as members of your party. ![]() The higher their levels, the more likely they will be to help you out in conversations, discover the secrets of your identity, and learn the cause of the murder.īe sure to review the Overview and Info tabs for each skill so you know what they do. While you’re selecting your signature skill, you can also respec your character’s base abilities on this screen in case you have second thoughts. You can do so by hitting Escape, and then selecting “Save Game.” This is a quick and simple bit of advice: Save right when you gain control of your character. Without spoiling how, you can actually die right at the beginning of the game if you make a wrong choice in your disheveled hotel room. Especially if you invested time into creating your own build, you may not want to redo it all over again because you managed to kill yourself in the first five minutes. Hold tab to highlight objectsĭisco Elysium feels just like like those classic point-and-click adventure games, with important items of interest scattered throughout each screen. ![]() Instead of wildly clicking around to see what you can interact with, hold the Tab key on your keyboard to highlight objects that you can manipulate or people you can talk to. People and objects alike will glow green if you can interact with them. As you can see in the screenshot above, you can’t speak to everyone. The highlighting makes it clear who is a person of interest and who isn’t. Holding Tab is also a great way to make sure you don’t miss any subtle clues or hard-to-spot items. Unlike other role-playing games where you might take damage in physical fights, most of what hurts you in Disco Elysium is verbal. There is no traditional combat in the game. Instead, intense encounters take place in an exchange of thoughts, questions, insults, and more. ![]() While you can still lose health by kicking trash cans or sitting on uncomfortable seats, your Morale can also take damage. Depending on how your character is built, you may have more Health than Morale points (or vice versa). ![]()
