What is the meaning of the dialogue icons in Cyberpunk 2077? Why do some dialogs display an icon in front of the individual options and others not? Anyone who has already spent an hour or two in Night City and spoken to a few NPCs will certainly have seen and wondered about the dialogue options with symbols such as a yin-yang symbol or a wrench symbol what it is all about and why the symbols sometimes appear.
What do the symbols in the dialogues mean?
If you look at the dialogue symbols, some people might notice that they have already seen the symbols somewhere. The symbols are the attribute symbols such as the yin-yang symbol for coolness, the fist symbol for constitution or the wrench symbol for technical skills.
- Fist symbol – constitution
- Lens/circle symbol – reflections
- Wrench Icon – Technical Skill
- Eight points symbol – intelligence
- Yin Yang symbol – coolness
If the yin-yang symbol with the number 5 is displayed in a dialogue such as with the XBD dealer where you can buy the Braindance, then you can only select the dialogue option if you have the coolness attribute on brought level 5. In order to level up the attributes you have to collect the so-called attribute points. Unlike the advantage points, the attributes or attribute points cannot be reset, so you cannot change skills here.
In addition to the symbols of the attributes, there are also symbols of the paths of life in the dialogues. In this case, you should choose the option that suits your chosen path in life.
- C – Corp
- N – Nomad
- S – Street Kid
What do the colors mean in the dialog options?
The yellow dialogue options are mission-related dialogues and the blue dialogue options are dialogues with additional information that you don’t necessarily have to listen to. By the way, there are also occasionally two yellow dialogue options that have an impact on the course of the mission.
