Is Radiance mandatory?
I have quite a few things/items that say "Increase your Radiance to gain further insight".

Seems like you should have it up to a certain number or something. Maybe that's why all classes start with at least 8 Radiance.

Depends which build you are going, if you want Umbral you need radiance and inferno

Ahh. I thought it would unlock more information on the items or something.

was thinking the same, not enough radiance to show all item information. also still looking for a blacksmith. after the second boss and still my starter gear without any upgrades except for jewelery.

Yeah it seems you have to pump radiance to read lore. I like the game a lot but I really don't like this.

It does. Sadly seems only just lore, thought maybe it would be like in Nostalgaia, gain extra item stats/buffs/effects etc.

The blacksmith is right before the boss that fights with the dog companions.

For some reason, the blacksmith was stuck just thanking me until two more bosses after that. And whew has it made a difference.

You have to "rest" after exhausting dialogue to get NPCs to move or progress their stories.

Yeah honestly there's a few things in this game that seem like cool quirky ideas on paper but they're actually really bad in practice. Needing inferno/radiance to read item descriptions sounds cool but in practice it just means non caster builds get screwed and can't read the lore which is lame.

I'm either gonna have to go on the wiki or waste 2 respec items so I can read all the descriptions after I beat the game

how much radiance/inferno do you actually need to read full lore - anyone knows?
It's crazy to gate story like that I don't know what they were thinking. I know that this concept was in DS too but when you had 10 faith/int you could get all dialog options now I have 16 inferno and still can't read a lore on axe from begginer area...

I bothered to level Radiance at one point to see what this "Insight" was referring to if it meant new effects or just lore. The answer is 20 Radiance. I imagine the same for Inferno.

Thx mate - that's a lot of useless points to spend just to know the story of the game. One of the worst ideas I encountered in souls likes so far.

Yeah I agree. You can at least read the item text on the wiki so you don't have to but would be better if players didn't have to use a wiki.
