Disco Elysium – Thought Cabinet Guide
Thought Cabinet Guide
How precisely does the thought cabinet, together with the thoughts within it, work?
As your graphic symbol learns to a greater extent than most the footing of Disco Elysium together with himself, he volition gain access the diverse thought – worldviews, ideologies, personality traits, hobbies.
Some of these thoughts impact your graphic symbol internally, changing your skills / science caps. Others modify the way he interacts amongst the world, gaining xp, healing, or coin for certainly actions.
Important to complaint – You don’t receive got to internalize a thought inwards social club to access the associated dialog. However – simply adding the thoughts to your inventory, without internalizing them, affects the way you lot recall together with speak.
For instance – ane time your Endurance proposes you lot attempt out Fascism, you lot either discard the thought outright, or you’ll receive got fascist dialog options every bit long every bit the thought remains inwards your thought cabinet (unless you lot internalize together with erase it). So regard carefully which thoughts you lot wish to pursue, because I’m non going to plot out every possible dialog alternative they affect.
In social club to “equip” ane of these thoughts, you lot receive got to purpose a science betoken to unlock a slot inwards your thought cabinet. Once the slot is open, you lot tin give the sack pick out a thought to “internalize”.
The internalization procedure volition lead several hours, depending on how complex the thought is. While the thought is beingness internalized, it volition receive got an outcome on your stats – frequently an exclusively negative one.
As a reminder, fourth dimension inwards Disco Elysium only passes when you lot are examining materials or talking to people. Walking simply about doesn’t lead upward whatever time.
The thought cabinet has a total of 12 available slots. iii are unlocked to laid out with, ix to a greater extent than tin give the sack last unlocked past times spending a science point. Once the cabinet is total (or beforehand, if you lot don’t similar the effects of a certainly thought) you lot tin give the sack purpose a science betoken to erase an internalized thought. You tin give the sack at nowadays internalize a dissimilar thought inwards that slot at no cost.
How to acquire it?
How long it takes to internalize together with what the effects are during the internalization process.
The effects the thought has ane time internalized.
I’ve decided to carve upward the thought listing inwards iii – 2 sections for thoughts you lot tin give the sack uncovering inwards the initial department of Revachol, during days 1-2, together with ane for thoughts that you lot receive got to hold off till hateful solar daytime iii to get.
Note that in-game fourth dimension stops advancing at 02:00. This agency that you lot tin give the sack no longer internalize thoughts until you lot become to sleep.
