Disco Elysium is amazing because it's a story that is told in a way possible only in videogames. Your "skills" just create voices in your head that let you know things, giving you more information or dialogue choices.

You: What's a "contact microphone"?

Acele: A contact mic records sounds from inside things. Like this ice.

Encyclopedia: Your mangled brain would like you to know that there is a boxer called Contact Mike.

You: Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother?

Encyclopedia: Nope. You're welcome.

Inland Empire: What if you only appear as a large singular body, but are actually a congregation of tiny organisms working in unison?

Physical Instrument: Get out of here, dreamer! Don't you think we'd know about it?

Volition: If it were true those organisms would not be working in unison.

Endurance: That's because some of them just don't have the best interests of the colony in mind.

Electrochemistry: Hey, maybe if the rest of you took a chill-pill every now and then, they'd be more motivated?

Perception: Shut up, we can't hear what he's saying!

I did and played it most of the way through and enjoyed it. Also played BG3 and loved it so it's not that I never play them but it has to be masterpiece level
