Disposition Mini-Game

[killercatdude88]

So, after a few attempts at it, I've managed to get the disposition of an npc (The lady who gives you the info for the corrupt imperial guard quest) to 69, but it won't go any higher than that (I used mostly bribing to get it that far) Bribing does nothing, and the button to actually do the minigame has dissapeared, did I screw something up? How do I get around this?

Unsheath your weapon and talk to the NPC. (This lowers their disposition by 10 points)

Max their disposition again.

Sheath your weapon and talk to them again, and their disposition will be 10 points higher than it was before.

And today's lesson is to always make first impressions at knifepoint.

The mini-game (and indeed, the whole personality / speechcraft system) can be completely circumvented in most cases. You can create a Charm spell with a strength of 100 and a duration of just a few seconds. It'll cost fairly little mana to cast, and as time stops mid-conversation, it'll work for as long as you wish to talk to your target.

As an additional bonus, if you use it on guards when you have a low bounty, they'll strike it from your record for free.
