Soul +1. Soul -1 ???

[infidel]

I assume going for maximum NEGATIVE Soul is going to be difficult since most of the quests involve helping people, which is counterintuitive to getting minus Soul points?

Am I going to miss the opportunity to do a bunch of quests because eventually I will become so negative that no one will talk to me?

Most quests give you the opportunity to choose if you get +1 or -1, even if you're helping someone if you act mean at the end or act nice, it will change what you get, so you can play either way. Alas I have no more information than that, I am curious myself what happens at Full Negative Soul, since Bones mentions humans won't talk to you.

This is a bit spoilerish, but:

Inspector Mendoza from Risen 1 will join you if you pick up his soul shard on his boat off Taranis (he is a ghost). He complains every time you gain soul value and then leaves your crew when you reach 70 (or 75).

When you loose your souls, you go hollow. That's all I know.

I'm at 3, Viscious :)

I have to be really careful from here on out otherwise I wont be able to fnish the game if no one will talk to me...I've barely touched the main quests, doing all side/legendary stuff first.

Guys: it barely makes any difference at all which way you go. Without spoiling anything: you will lose a companion or two depending on which way you swing and you'll get a slightly different ending (and by slightly... I mean SLIGHTLY. So slightly it's barely even worth mentioning). AFAIK, there's no physical transformations in your character either.

The whole system is extremely undercooked as a mechanic, but I'm fine with it because: 1) I wasn't even aware it was going to be in the game in the first place since moral choice was never really a factor in a PB game before and 2) because "good" endings and "evil" endings stopped being entertaining after KOTOR 2. This whole moral dichotomy thing in games seriously needs to be retired.

People will still talk to you even at 0.

what? that's it ? companions? the way they described it, if I was really low I would die or something. I've been nice to people for no reason? well crap.....

So it boils down to small limitation of companions. Deep.

Additional Shadow Lords & minions spawn as well if your soul level is very low.

NPCs seem to ignore me when they catch me stealing with 100 soul. That could just be a coincidence, but I like to think that the reason they no longer care is because I am otherwise so good. In the beginning of the game, they would kill me on sight if they saw me, now they just tell me "that's not a good idea."

Or maybe you are in same faction as people you are stealing from?

No, that is definitely not the case. I am a Guardian, and I can walk into the tavern on the pirate island and steal in front of 5 people and they will all just say "Do you think I'm blind?".

If you steal from a public place, you will not be attacked; only chastised.

Try stealing from a home on anywhere but Taranis ;).

[TurboQuest]

Even on Taranis, if you go into the warehouse of the Guardians, take a single coin and you get attacked. It depends on the building, if the NPCs come after you and follow you around, then you'll get attacked if you take anything, if not, free looting.
