A collection of the skills' nicknames

I always like the interactions between skills, and I notice that they rarely call each other by their official names instead use "that guy/those guys" or nicknames. So I decide to collect all the nicknames I know in this post. I'll list out the skill's nickname, where it is from, and add a screenshot from my own game or from fayde.

1.Logic: Puzzle Face (from Rhetoric and Authority)

source: failed Logic check with Titus

You need to have failed a rhetoric or authority check for this to happen.

2. Encyclopedia: Pillar-Bookhead (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klassje

3. Rhetoric: Goldmouth (from Empathy, Volition, Drama)

source: This nickname appears on several occasions! Failed rhetoric check with Gaston:

failed check with Titus:

conversation with Cuno:

4. Drama: Mr. thespian, Multi-face (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klassje

5. Volition: Crownhead (from Suggestion)

source: Volition check with Klassje

Probably the most well-known nickname!

6. Inland Empire: Dreamer (from PI)

source: Conversation with Gary

7. Esprit de corps: cop-frequency (from Composure)

source: get Cuno as partner after tribunal

8. Suggestion: grovelling sycophant (from Authority)

This probably doesn't count as a nickname, more like an insult, but still very funny.

source: Volition check with Klassje

9. Endurance: Ultramarathon (from Volition)

source: fascist quest line conversation

10. Physical Instrument: Coach (from several skills and yourself), sinewy idiot (from Electrochemistry)

A very widely used nickname and you can find a lot of lines, I'll put the specifics in image description:

11. Half Light: Mr. Fight-Or-Flight (from Volition)

source: talk to Gaston about pétanque

12. H\E Coordination: the centipede (from Volition)

source: failed check to shave

13. Reaction Speed: shifty, Mr.Conclusion (from Composure and Volition)

source: Volition check with Klassje

this one is actually more like insult too.

happens if Logic does not chime in after Volition says the first line.

14. Savoir Faire: Savvy from himself and slimeball from PI

source: ultraliberal quest line conversation

This is when you pass the container rhetoric check after you got the quest line.

15. Interfacing: technically not a nickname, but interfacing sometimes calls himself(themselves?) your fingers

16. Composure: Straight-back-guy (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klassje

That's all I know! If anyone know more nicknames you're welcomed to tell me in comments or tags!

It seems that more than half of these are from Volition, truly the King of nicknames!

special thanks to this post from @paleyonder, where I get half of these nicknames from.

#disco elysium #a lot of these nicknames are based on their appearances #I love the implication that they know what each other look like #though Authority doesn't have an in-game nickname #I read a fanfic where Suggestion called him gladiator and I think it's very fitting

I'm just like you op. When I started the game for the first time I looked at his portrait and wondered: "what are these on his face"? Is that blood? scars? birthmarks? Then I finally decided that it must be some art design to add details to his portrait etc.

When I finally got to that point I was like: wait, whoa, is that...is this...that's why...WOW!

kim's portrait... it's from... it's f. its fr. its when he. its when you. and he. and it's

its from when

oh my GOD i will never be normal again

I suddenly realize that the bgm after you step out of whirling is call "Instrument of Surrender".

It's also the document that the Party(which the deserter belonged to) refused to sign...

I have so much feelings about this. Like why did they decide to name the main theme of Martinaise like this. Is it a reminder that Martinaise still carries the remnant and ruins of the failed Revolution...?

the skills are so conflict about having Cuno as partner. NINE of them had something to say about it.

also Composure calling Edc "cop-frequency" had me laughing out

#great interpretation #also how do you know Kim's been on the force for at least 27 years?

Potential Design Assets by Joshua Jenkins for Disco Elysium

Not a lot of people have seen these I think and the ones about the pale are the most interesting in my opinion so maybe others will find them interesting as well!

I am so fucking normal about entroponetics.

#I love these cool designs #disco elysium

I like to imagine Volition as a tired mom with 23 kids.

#disco elysium #true

he’s thinkin

#disco elysium #love how you draw the skills

I can't believe it takes me 128 hours to realize that the color of CONTINUE button is the color of the skill that passes the passive check and is about to jump out next. If it's not a skill or it doesn't require passive check, then the color is just red.

#disco elysium #I always assume the button is colorful for no reason... #or aesthetic reason
