Loving the game , But these skill convo checks , hmm....

[Scythé]

Unless I'm doing something wrong they don't make much sense to me, I'm failing 20 skill checks and have no clue why, I can't seem to see what the required number is for my skill checks to succeed,

It seems random wether they work or when the game just says " nah you're failing this check because errr , reasons ".

Ii i'm missing something someone could explain to me i'd be grateful cheers.

If you're an acquaintance of the NPC, you can see their scores for the different options. You want a score that's higher than theirs. In addition, there is a bonus for choosing a realistic option - something Henry might actually say.

"It's not only the manner of persuasion that's important, but also the specific offer, because sometimes it's not enough just to choose according to your highest characteristics. You have to really read what Henry is going to say! "

"But different approaches work on different people. You won’t intimidate a tough brawler easily and no matter how well you dress, you won't impress the nobility easily. That's because Henry’s abilities aren’t simply assigned a universal value, but compared with the abilities of his counterpart. You can see the values of the various abilities in the game under the corresponding icons. You can always see your own abilities. Your counterparts’ abilities are visible to you if it's someone you know well or if you're skilled at reading people (learned the perk Empathetic). "
