Attributes are a mechanic in Disco Elysium. Chosen at game start, they determine the Cop's starting skillset, as well as the general flavour of the playthrough.

General[]
- The player's choice of attributes will impact their Skills, with every skill under the attribute starting with a value equal to it.
- With every attribute set to 1, the player has a total of 8 points to distribute, potentially being able to set the attributes to 3-3-3-3.
- However, the game encourages the player to try out a diverse skillset, emphasizing some attributes at the cost of others. This can be done through the archetype selection, meant to offer preset configurations that deliver a particular game experience. Note that there is no archetype specializing in the Motorics attribute, as it is generally considered secondary (though still very useful to have).
- The highest an attribute can go is 6, considered a "Genius"-level ability.
