So... is it good? 168 pages, it must be at least intriguing.
Also, what stats are usueless here? What is the Swimming of Disco Elysium?
Every stat has at least one skill that's really common and at least one that pops up infrequently. The ones that pop up infrequently tend to have much bigger impact though (Shivers for example).
IMO Motorics is the least interesting of the stats. It is probably the most efficient however -- it'll let you solve some problems in a really cool way or just shortcut past things. (You do need a few pips in Perception however, otherwise you'll just walk obliviously past a whole bunch of stuff.)
Interfacing comes often in motorics and give you real bonuses (XP or it even unlocks places), perception same since you get both items and you find important clues. Reaction speed is the rarest with almost zero impact.
For Physics I agree about shivers but if we count active rolls then the rarest is halflight and it is just funny since you can threaten the cafeteria manager but with no impact. I would like more if you needed high/decent halflight to have the option to punch the kid for example.
Psyche is quite balanced all skills are used quite often, I wouldn't say that esprit of corps is the least used but has a bigger impact....it is still useful but still has a smaller impact.
Intellect is the most balanced, tons of check for everything, encyclopedia success isn't that important.
