Introduction

Imagine instantly obtaining the skill, knowledge, and experience of a famed concert pianist or the accuracy and precision of a world championship marksman. Innovations in Talos I’s Psychotronics division have led to the development of the Neuromod, a revolutionary device capable of enhancing humanity with a variety of expert abilities and skills.

Throughout your adventure aboard Talos I, you’ll collect a number of Neuromods. But how will you use them? Will you install them to acquire new skills and improve your chances of survival? Or will you ignore them completely, opting to overcome challenges without Neuromod enhancement? You’re free to build your character in any way you see fit. But if you choose to install Neuromods, it’s important to understand how each ability functions. Not all abilities are equal—some have greater versatility than others. Furthermore, Neuromods are a limited resource, requiring you to select some abilities over others. Many of the game’s achievements and trophies are also tied to abilities, so take that under consideration before investing Neuromods into a new ability.
