DIalogue checks

[Garry Leonard]

When you're in a conversation and your character makes passive perception, insight, etc checks, is the one who is talking that makes all those checks?

Yes, the one doing the talking, even if someone else in the group is proficient, it does not automatically pick them. (no group check either)

Hmmm interesting. Thanks every.

I think it's good bad. The WOTR style of the best person check, just means you just make a team with all the best stats and pass ever check. In my mind, that almost defeats the purpose of the checks unless the goal is to force you to make a team with diverse stats.

I think it's best this way so you don't feel forced to make a charisma character, as other characters will unlock different conversation paths.

It's a lame and cool either way kind of thing i guess.

The silver lining is that the game is designed in such a way that whether you succeed a check or fail, you'll still be missing out on something. Failure doesn't mean worse content in BG3, it means different content.
