You can have good Hand Eye Coordination, so during a dialogue portion you can catch something a character tosses to you or even dodge bullets, all according to the dice roll. In a more traditional RPG these traits would be party members, but Disco Elysium takes out the middleman and lets you craft your own consciousness. At the start of a playthrough you get to pick from 24 different “skills” which are more like personality traits. Your weirdly worded chaotic questions are pushed aside by him as “your unconventional investigative methods.” Just giving the player this level of role play where you can craft this character to be who you want them to be on the INSIDE and how they react on the OUTSIDE is… game changing. You’re guided by your partner on the case, Kim, who acts as a siphon of information. It’s twisted on its head here because sure you don’t know who you are but everyone else knows exactly who you are, what you are, and where you’re from, and they simply think you’re messing around when you tell them, “yo like I don’t remember ANYTHING”. The set up for the main story is one that we’re all familiar with, deja-vu. Role Playing is allowed (and expected) to an unmatched degree. Every single line of prose is dripping with context that helps you be informed and in turn helps you role play better. The world at large is simply one of the many characters you bump into on your journey to solve the murder of a Union Worker. Having an expansive historically and politically rich world to explore that harbors these thoughts of mine is a cathartic and invigorating experience. I’ve listened to tons of economic lectures and true crime podcasts.

I’ve struggled with a novel that’s about the free market capitalism in a fantasy setting. Like, I’m currently in my last year of marketing school and I’ve taken two handfuls of business classes. Every pixel of Disco Elysium sings to me in a very personal way.
There are carefully crafted ten paragraph diatribes about Cryptozoology to extended conversations with yourself about economic systems, with a side of elaborate historical context provided by your partner to boot. The City of Revachol, where Martinaise resides, exists in a balancing act between grounded real political theory and otherworldly weird fantasy shit. All of the characters feel hauntingly real with elaborate background stories that help inform every aspect of this same-but-different world.

The war torn Martinaise proper is the main hub you’ll be frequenting and you’ll eventually stroll into areas that are full of civil unrest due to a Union Strike, or seeping with historical intrigue. The city district of Martinaise is brought to life in expert fashion, each area has a distinct feel to it.
