Main Character Skill Checks

[sUmM3rb34R]

It seems that certain skill checks in the game are based on the player's character only, but others let you use any character's stats. The farmer in the refugee camp seemingly can only be convinced to tell you the location of the goats based on the survival/diplomacy of the player character. Do I understand this correctly? Am I missing a way to use anyone from my party's stats for any given skill check?

If you have a skillcheck, just click on potrait of any character in your party to make him or her do the skillcheck instead

There are definitely skill checks in the game where you can only use the player character. The earliest one I can think of is the swimming sequence in one of the early caves. There are also checks that will use only the leading character (so you have to initiate the dialogue for the check with the character you want to use, which requires you to know that the check is there).

It's just trial and error figuring out when this happens

Save scumming is your friend! Yeah, I dunno when it's the PC or party leader. so if I feel something is coming up, I just hit f5

As far as I noticed that's incorrect.
