Communications Skills

Halsey · 09-21-2003, 12:25 PM

I know that your ability to 'bargin', that is, get the best price, improves with your communication skills. But, does the amount of information that you can get from NPC's increase with higher comm skills as well? Does this skill really serve some viable function in this game? Is it part of some unfinished plot thread?

to be perfectly honest, i have no idea. i suppose it would help with bribes toward neutral npc's. but i really couldnt tell you.

You get more info volunteered to you that you otherwise have to ask about.

I my games I never trained this skill ( I always had a bard in my party ).
It rises easily because every time I communicated with a new NPC I got some
skill points.
I wasnt't worry about prices at shops because I had an alchemist so there
was no need to train Communication to get lower prices.
May be I missed some informations but if it is so, then they were not
important for solving the game.
I had no problems with neutral NPC's (in my games the only one was RFS-81).
If a NPC gets neutral after pickpocketing him I usually cast Charm or use
the Viola d'Amore.
