*possible spoilers* How can you make your people talk to eachother?

[mattig]

Hidy ho all,

I'm on day 8, and I stole from some old folks. I honestly went there to trade, but when that didn't come up I took a couple cans of food and left. Now my scavenger (katia) is all sad, not that I blame her.

But I have watched a few youtube vids on this game, and I know its possible to get your people to talk to eachother and get eachother through tough times. But ever time I try to interact my one person (katia) with one of the other two I have around it just switches to them. So, how can I get my guys to talk to eachother?

If you click someone other than Katia then look at Katia she should have some icons above her head - usually food or a chat icon. Click the chat icon and the person you have selected will walk over to Katia to talk to her.

I've only been able to make them talk to each other when one was "Depressed". I do know that if you help people out by saving them (like the guy in sniper alley), or giving them bandages or whatever when they come to your shelter it lifts everyone's spirits a little.

Like Sild said, the only way to give a character a spirit raising talk is if they are already Depressed or Broken...

Hey, I know I'm a tad late, but everyone is right on here, you can't talk to them while they're sad (most of the times they get sad if they're needs are not met- coffee and cigs)

My best advice for the old people is: there the last resort to get free stuff with consequences. When you do go take some time off that way your people can recoperate from the Depression.

Or just have people who don't care as much when you do sociopathic things, like Emilia or Bruno. Also keep in mind that some characters are better at cheering up other characters, and it's largely what you would expect (Bruno is not very good at cheering people up, while Zlata is great at it), and it is likely to take half the day.

Seems like it's a bit random whether you will get the speech bubble icon over someone's head. Like in my first full playthrough of the game, I had Boris and Katia and a couple others. Boris killed some people and got depressed about it, and Katia was able to talk to him and improve his mood to sad. Later Boris killed more people and he got depressed again, but none of my characters got the speech bubble icon, even Katia. Katia got sad about something at some point later on and Boris was able to talk to her. ANYWAY when you do get the option to do it, it basically raises their mood. Moonshine (followed by sleep) and guitar playing have the same effect.

You can't really make them talk when they are sad or above. you can only do that when they're depressed or worse.

That's also true, the best characters for a killing team are: Arica, Bruno and the Ex-Soldier, they have that "we gotta do what we gotta do to survive this war" mentality

The thing with Zlata, she gets depressed way too fast with those kind of things, thats why If you have her on the team, make sure you help out people who come asking for help cause that will boost her right back up
