Full storyline

What are the specs you need for best dialogue options again? To play all possible sidequests, etc.

It's something like max Persuasion (with Charisma, obviously) and 10 Intelligence, isn't it? Maybe it's higher...

 

High CH + High INT + High Persuasion = Good Dialogue.

 

I was looking for more specific numbers. I seem to remember someone mentioning, a while back, that you only need 10 IN for its dialogue benefits; and I assume you need full Persuasion (therefore 18 CH).

 

CH doesn't necessarily need to be maxed out though, does it? Just has to be 18

 

I never knew this.
It's amazing to still be learning things about this game.
I hope you're correct.

 

For best:
Ch-20
Int-20
Persuasion-maxed and mastered
Beauty(for better reaction)-20

You said that CH 20 isn't necessary, but i must say that in some places it is. If you max it out, you can get 6 followers. And if i remember correctly´, then you need it to be maxed out if you ---SPOILER--- want (K)guy(e)dfg(r)&vfw"(g)sfp3ö(h)w1!(a)edrob.(n) to make a suicide.
Int to get the best dialogue options and lose the wrong ones.
Beauty for better reaction.
Wearing a Smoking Jacket helps ALOT

--Sry guys, but i still haven't learned to do this spoiler thingy

 

you don't need to have high BE if CHA and IN are high enough. if your character is ugly, but smart and charismatic, the conversations will start with a rude response with the option to ask the NPC to behave in a more civil / polite fashion, thus setting the reaction to the value defined by CHA. being even slightly magickal helps again as the "Purity of Water" spell stacks.

 

Yeah but you still get better reaction even if it doesn't help you much

 

What did you just say?
I believe you want the theoretically functional

Spoiler

yea, that one. You have to type in the bracket, type in spoiler, and then ,make the other bracket. I know, it's a lot of work, but so was typing out how to do it for you, so you'd best use it.

tag.

 

OOO...by quoting your message i see how u do it...

i'll try and write what i ment in this "secret" word:

Code:

[spoiler]Kerghan[/spoiler]

 

Thanks Vorak! I forgot about the 'code' tag.

 

Why doesn't it work when i try ?

 

Did you have the "Disable BBCode in this post" ticked when you made that post?

 

Is it possible to get all quests in one play-through? It would seem to me some quest branches would be mutually exclusive such that undertaking one might make another inaccessible. I have not tested this, it is just a presumption of mine.

I would venture that the best way to play every quest would be to play through the game multiple times.

Is there a Spoiler button or is it a somewhat manual process to take advantage of the Spoiler functionality?

 

no

 

Then you just kind of fail.

 

If you are aiming for all the best endings, you can do it within the same playthrough.

Regarding intelligence: you do NOT need to have 20 IN to get the most out of quests. I finished the game with the best endings and my intelligence was 12 (I was playing a mage, so I wanted 3 spell slots).
