INT dependent dialogues

I'm playing a persuasion character and am trying to decide whether to put points into INT. I was wondering how many dialogues require more than average INT? By reading previous posts and exploring on my own a bit, I've come across two definite ones:

1) the town council in Ashbury
2) Randver of the Wheel Clan

Are there many more? Which are they? If there aren't too many like this then I'll probably just rely on INT potions (although their duration is frustratingly short!)

 

I dont know if you NEED high intelligence AND persuasion to complete this quest in the best way, but I you get more dialouge choices durring the Stillwater Satue quest.

 

You need to have high intelligence for Randver. You don't need it for Ashbury. Either way, if you only need INT for dialogs or for making tech items, don't invest any character points into it. Buy a Potion of Intellect.

 

Frankly, you may be right, but I almost always carry a couple of potions of Intellect in my inventory and drink one before each important talk.

And what, pray tell, do you need this expertise for? To learn the tech tree schematics you can always drink a potion. To build a device that requires high expertise in some tech discipline you can buy tech manuals in the university. If you're building something disgustingly sophisticated that requires expertise of 100 in two disciplines, and you don't have enough place in your inventory for a trillion manuals, drink a potion and your expertise increases with your INT. The minimum Intellect you need to be able to make anything and everything in Arcanum is 9 (as the top schematics on the tech tree require INT 19 and the potion adds 10)

 

Why cheating? I mean if the very existance of the Potion of Intellect is not cheating, why should using the benefits of it be cheating?

Thanks Now I'll be able to play Chris's mod and get rid of the annoying bugs. Will have to say goodbye to my 40-40 Looking Glass Rifle though, and to easily made Pyro axes. Might make playing a bit of a challenge. But not having those nasty bugs is worth it I guess.

No thanks. I'm not an anime fan. But thanks for the offer- and for the original discs.

 

I just came across another one:

Marley in Stillwater.
It appears that you cannot finish that quest with an average INT.
(Unless you resort to brutishness, of course. )

P.S. Oh, just noticed that Langolier's post says something similar. I'm pretty sure you NEED above average INT. I was maxed out on CH and Persuasion and couldn't get anywhere without an INT potion.
