Hi,

Is it attributes or skills that have a bearing on all the checks in the game?

Where I am coming from is basically I want to bump down charisma, but still take speech as a tag and focus on it i.e. i want the attribute points elsewhere but am happy (and want to) spend points to have good speech options.

Not bothered about barter too much a the moment and I can handle the lower companion nerve thingy - I just don't want to be knackered in dialogue and associated activities as they are important to me in rpg's.

Cheers
Dan

When it comes to dialogue tests, it's often based on a particular skill; a few will be based on a stat (like int).

However, there are some perks which require a high cha stat that you might be interested in getting later on in the game. I'd suggest taking a look at those before planning a build with low charisma.

ok so I should be ok then if I am not interested in those perks, at least from a dialogue perspective thanks for replying Parhelion!
