||
− | The '''Thought Cabinet''' is a special feature in ''{{gamename}}'', giving a glimpse into the head of [[the Cop]] and the thoughts swirling within. Mileage may vary. |
||
+ | [[file:DE Original THC.png|right|thumb|300px|The early version of the Thought Cabinet.]] |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | The '''Thought Cabinet''' and its '''Thoughts''' are a game mechanic in ''[[Disco Elysium]]'', offering insight into [[Harrier Du Bois|your]] life prior to the case, as well as stat bonuses and other minor gameplay differences. |
||
+ | |||
==Overview== |
==Overview== |
||
+ | Depending on choices made over the course of a playthrough, there will be a plethora of different Thoughts to internalize. Not every Thought can be earned in one playthrough, such as [[White Mourning]] (and potentially [[The Bow Collector]]) being opposite to [[Caustic Echo]] depending on which [[Damaged Ledger|ledger]] is acquired, or [[Ace's Low]] and [[Ace's High]] being more or less the same skill with minor differences. |
||
− | The choices you make during the game can unlock different Ideals to "Research", researching these ideals basically allows you to choose what your character's ideals are. While you research, you will be afflicted with the temporary penalty or bonus of the specific Ideal. In-game time will need to pass by conversing with people or reading to progress the research. Keep in mind, while you're sleeping, research does not progress. It only progresses while you're awake. Once finished, the Temporary Bonus/Penalty is removed and you gain the permanent bonuses/penalties. You can spend a Skill point to open more slots for more Ideals, but keep in mind you will also have to spend a Skill point if you want to remove an Ideal you have already researched. (So don't commit to an Ideal you don't want.) You can pause researching one Ideal to focus on another while one is currently in the research phase. Keep in mind, you can also research multiple Ideals at the same time as long as you have the slots to do so. |
||
+ | If a free slot is available in the Thought Cabinet, a discovered Thought may be equipped to begin researching it. While a Thought is being researched, a temporary [[Skills|skill]] penalty or bonus will be granted. During this process, the Thought may be equipped and unequipped freely, pausing or resuming the research. After a set amount of in-game time has passed, the equipped Thought will cause "breakthrough", after which a white thought orb will appear, and it will become permanently internalized. Forgetting a thought after this point will require a skill point to remove it, and it will be gone permanently from the Thought Cabinet for the remainder of the playthrough. |
||
− | ==Tips== |
||
+ | Research time does not progress for internalized Thoughts while sleeping. |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | ==Unique Thoughts== |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | While most thoughts simply offer bonuses to Harry's skill point totals, some have unique effects. |
||
+ | *[[Volumetric Shit Compressor]] gives no lasting bonuses at all. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | *[[Jamrock shuffle]] allows Harry to find more money in locked containers. |
||
+ | *[[White Mourning]] offers an additional +20% zoom out distance. |
||
+ | *[[Homo-Sexual Underground]] allows Harry to talk to [[Kim Kitsuragi]] about sexuality. |
||
+ | *[[Opioid Receptor Antagonist]] prevents positive effects from drugs (speed and pyrholidon) while preventing any negative effects from alcohol. [[Waste Land of Reality]] does the opposite. |
||
+ | *[[The Precarious World]] causes all Red Checks to fail while it is equipped, and once internalized, it will make both critical successes and critical fails easier to achieve when rolling for active Checks. |
||
+ | ==Thoughts== |
||
− | If you want to be good in a gun-fight, "[[Bringing of the Law (Law-Jaw)|Bringing the Law (Law-Jaw)]]" offers good bonuses for that. |

The Thought Cabinet and its Thoughts are a game mechanic in Disco Elysium, offering insight into your life prior to the case, as well as stat bonuses and other minor gameplay differences.
Overview
Depending on choices made over the course of a playthrough, there will be a plethora of different Thoughts to internalize. Not every Thought can be earned in one playthrough, such as White Mourning (and potentially The Bow Collector) being opposite to Caustic Echo depending on which ledger is acquired, or Ace's Low and Ace's High being more or less the same skill with minor differences.
If a free slot is available in the Thought Cabinet, a discovered Thought may be equipped to begin researching it. While a Thought is being researched, a temporary skill penalty or bonus will be granted. During this process, the Thought may be equipped and unequipped freely, pausing or resuming the research. After a set amount of in-game time has passed, the equipped Thought will cause "breakthrough", after which a white thought orb will appear, and it will become permanently internalized. Forgetting a thought after this point will require a skill point to remove it, and it will be gone permanently from the Thought Cabinet for the remainder of the playthrough.
Research time does not progress for internalized Thoughts while sleeping.
Unique Thoughts
While most thoughts simply offer bonuses to Harry's skill point totals, some have unique effects.
- Volumetric Shit Compressor gives no lasting bonuses at all.
- Jamais Vu (Derealization), Actual Art Degree, Mazovian Socio-Economics, and Wompty-Dompty Dom Centre offer small amounts of bonus XP.
- The Fifteenth Indotribe, Indirect Modes of Taxation, Hobocop and Wompty-Dompty Dom Centre offer extra Reál.
- Jamrock shuffle allows Harry to find more money in locked containers.
- White Mourning offers an additional +20% zoom out distance.
- Homo-Sexual Underground allows Harry to talk to Kim Kitsuragi about sexuality.
- Opioid Receptor Antagonist prevents positive effects from drugs (speed and pyrholidon) while preventing any negative effects from alcohol. Waste Land of Reality does the opposite.
- The Precarious World causes all Red Checks to fail while it is equipped, and once internalized, it will make both critical successes and critical fails easier to achieve when rolling for active Checks.
