20 Video Game Skills That Secretly Change The Game

Disco Elysium is a game about an alcoholic cop with amnesia who solves crimes by talking about communism and wearing random clothes he finds in the garbage.

Harry’s ever-expanding wardrobe of ridiculous outfits is a core mechanic of Disco Elysium, allowing you to enhance your cop abilities with the right articles of clothing. This said, you might want to hold onto the Horrific Necktie that you start the game with, as it’s secretly a lot more special than the rest of your impeccable swag.

The Horrific Necktie is the first neck accessory that you find. Although it only boosts your Inland Empire skill by 1, it does come with one special trait—it talks to you.

Throughout the game, the Horrific Necktie will give you unsolicited and really terrible advice, like arresting innocent people or buying alcohol from homeless people, but the thing is, sometimes it is worth listening to.

If you buy the aforementioned alcohol and then pass an Inland Empire check, the necktie will tell you to stuff it inside the bottle, turning itself into a Molotov cocktail that you can use in place of a gun during the pivotal standoff with the mercenaries threatening to kill Martinaise’s residents.

It’s one of the most iconic moments in the game that’s definitely worth keeping the ugly tie on your neck.
