What are dialogue icons in Cyberpunk 2077 and how do they work?

An undisputed fact about Cyberpunk 2077 is that Night City is a really vast city with a diverse population. Basically, the stage is set beautifully for our protagonist V to interact and converse with different people. Do keep in mind that it’s not going to be a monotonous this or that kind of deal either. CD Projekt Red has made sure that conversations are nuanced and thoughtful, making interactions in the game one of the most experiential aspects of it. We suspect this is also the reason that the game has a slightly different dialogue format than what convention dictates. So here’s some clarity on dialogue icons in Cyberpunk 2077 and how do they work.

What are dialogue icons in Cyberpunk 2077?

Dialog icons are simply those dialogues that you will see in different colored bars during conversations with other characters. There are three specific colors that you will see in the options: Gold, Blue, and Gray. You can choose the dialogue options depending on how you want the conversation to flow.

The Dialogues in Gold are directly connected to the main storyline. Dialogues on Gold also move the conversation forward during interactions while sticking to the crux of the matter. Choose Gold if you’re only interested in moving the plot forward.

The Blue dialogues are meant to grease your conversations and help you get to know the character better. Eventually, the conversation will return to the Gold options, however, the Blue ones are worth exploring out of curiosity or just for fun.

Additionally, you will also see dialogues that have been grayed out but you won’t be able to select them. This happens because you haven’t met the requirement to activate the dialogue.

How do dialogue icons work?

Dialogue icons will appear in different permutations and combinations of colors. You will see Gold and Blue together and sometimes two Gold options simultaneously. When you see two Gold dialogues together, it’s simply a matter of setting the tone of the interaction. One option could keep things friendly while another could totally rile up the other character. Regardless, the final conclusion of the conversation will remain unchanged.
