Persuasion Difficulty List

List of Persuasion choices and their difficulty levels.

- Foreword

Persuasion choices are set in 5 levels of difficulty:
　　　　　　　　　　Always - Easy - Normal - Hard - Impossible.

Some persuasion options will Always succeed; some are tagged as Impossible that there's no way you are going to persuade them with these options.
For Easy - Normal - Hard options, see Basic Calculation section for details.

Needless to say, this list will be FULL OF SPOILERS.
And VERY LONG. So, if you want to look up a specific dialogue, I suggest you use the search tool (Ctrl+F) with (1)the name of the NPC you're talking to, or (2)the dialogue option you're trying to persuade them with.

May contain obsolete data (e.g., didn't make it into the final game, was patched out, etc.)
Any suggestions/feedbacks on improving the list are welcome and appreciated.

- Basic Calculation

* This section is based solely on my observation; please correct me if I made any errors here.

1. Check the level of the NPC you're trying to persuade.

• Level 1 ~ 5 → a = 1
  
• Level 6 ~ 10 → a = 2
  
• Level 11 ~ 15 → a = 3
  
• Level 16 ~ 20 → a = 4

2. Check the Difficulty of the persuasion option.

• Easy → b = -1
  
• Normal → b = 0
  
• Hard → b = 1

3. Evaluation:

• Your Persuasion level < a + b : Persuasion will always fail
  
• Your Persuasion level = a + b : Persuasion will succeed if your Attribute is at least 2 higher than the NPC; otherwise will fail
  
• Your Persuasion level > a + b : Persuasion will always succeed

- Persuasion Requirements Overview

• Persuasion requirements are calculated for Normal checks.
  
• +1 for Hard checks, +1 if you want to bypass the Attribute comparison part.
  
• 🐾 for NPCs that require Pet Pal.
  
  

  0. The Hold

  　Lv. 1 : Persuasion 1
  
  

  1. Fort Joy

  　 Lv. 2 ~ 8 : Persuasion 1 ~ 2
  🐾 Lv. 4 : Persuasion 1
  
  

  2. Reaper's Coast

  　 Lv. 9 ~ 15 : Persuasion 2 ~ 3*
  🐾 Lv. 3 ~ 12 : Persuasion 1 ~ 2
  * There is only one Lv. 18 NPC, and you will need 5 (options are either Hard or Impossible)
  
  

  3. The Nameless Isle

  　 Lv. 16 ~ 17 : Persuasion 4*
  🐾 Lv. 16 ~ 17 : Persuasion 4*
  * Bishop Alexandar at the Academy only has Hard options, so you will need 5.
  * Checks for Pet Pal NPCs are Always, Easy or Impossible, so you will only need 3.
  
  

  4. Arx

  　 Lv. 18 ~ 20 : Persuasion 4*
  * Many NPCs will only have Hard options available, so Arx is practically a Persuasion 5 zone.

[Anonymusx]

In level 0 The Rennart need 2.

[ShiZniTe]

its called dont purchase any persuasion points and watch the game turn instantly crappy. talk to any npc that you can have a bad conversation with(which has got to be close to 80% of them) and eventually during the pointless convo they will give you 1-4 choices all requiring persuasion, or Combat!
persuasion is the worst skill ever and shouldnt be required to avoid combat. so i personally never buy a point of it, to show how stupid this game was designed as far as story and roleplay is concerned.

[duppleganger2win]

I'm confused. Is 'always' you always fail or you always make it?
Also, not good at math (etc) so 'easy' is you have to have a 1-2 persuasion above the NPC in question?
The main reason I ask is because I have a fighter with zero persuasion and I want to persuade Stingtail at Fort Joy. The way you worded it is easy is a -1 to a level 1-5 NPC which is a 1. So zero persuasion is needed?
That's what I got out of it. Please feel free to correct me.

[Ek1]

I am creating decent wiki about the game, do you mind if i get the bulk of data from your awesome list?

[Gamebot]

Warron's(Driftwood lv11) difficulty is INT4(normal) STR5(hard) WIT5(hard). Making his base difficulty factor a = 4, not 3. It's a great guide, anyway.

[The_Blog]

Thanks a lot for finally explaining in detail how persuasion works. It always semed so random, but now that I know how it works it makes a lot more sense to me and I actually like the system more :)
