God dammit that Frederick quest.

Spoiler

I supposed to bring back a bloodstone for the injured immaculate in Silverglen, but for some reason the guy was dead by the time I got back. And now I have an unfinished quest in my journal. I hate this. At least put it under the failed quest tab.

Same thing happened to me.

That's because there is still something to do in that quest.

 

[Volourn]

Doesn't change the fact that quests will stay in the 'incomplete' state even if they can't be finished.. How hard is it to flaga quest for 'uncompleteable' (for whatever reason)? EPIC FAIL.

What? If you think about the imp, I got to him, and solved the imp's quest. I sent him back to Frederick, where he mourned his master for a second then took off. But Frederick's quest is still not solved.

It's amazing how a game that has been released for several weeks only has a fraction of number of pages of discussions as a game that's not even in beta yet.

did you craft the potion for the imp? Did you fight the spider queen before solving the quest?

I crafted the potion, but the imp didn't take it from me during our conversation, but went back to his master anyway. I killed the spider queen long ago.

Well we don't know if the skip button is a a skill check or just a complete 50/50 random roll. Need clarification on that ForkTong

If the imp went back to his master, he took the potion, otherwise he would be too scared. The quest was probably botched because Frederick was dead. If you fight the spider Frederick will enter the fight on your side, he hardly has any health left, perhaps that's how he was killed. I did his quest first and only afterwards fought the spider, and it worked. Some shoddy scripting here.

Hitting the space bar skips it and checks against skill. Or was that a ?

Zep--

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

You're sure it checks against skill? I doubt it. I never put anything in charisma and when I had a RPS against someone , 6 vs 2 points for me, which is almost impossible to win if you actually play it out, I just pressed spacebar and voila! Won.

Frederick? Imp? I must have missed quite a bit on my playthrough. Not to mention having only one room open in Homestead for the longest time due to bad weather.

was that a ?

It is some buggy scripting probably. Meh whatever, I can live with it.

I'm almost certain that it doesn't check against your skill, it just plays a random RPS minigame instanteniously in the background.

Which brain dead idiot at the company thoguht that RPS would be a cool convo mini game ? And, what idiot boss okayed it? FFS

Yeah, exactly same shit happened to me.

I made my main dude a talker, invested in charisma and I lost that check more often than not even though most of the time my stat was higher than opponent's. That minigame should've happened only when required stats end up being equal between both parties, otherwise auto win or lose. I definitely agree that it was a bad idea to make that minigame happen every time, regardless of stats. I won't be wasting a single point on charisma in other playthrough.

Neither of you guys know this, stop acting like you do unless you quote a Larian post.

What we only know if play the RPS minigame, your Charisma + picking the right dialogue option (+ attitude?) affects how many "bubbles" you win per, um, roll.

We know nothing about what happens if the minigame is skipped. (And if you're trying to figure out via personal experience, then you better have a log of data rather than trying to remember based on anecdote)

We know nothing about what happens if the minigame is skipped.

What we also know is that the result seems totally random when you hit space. There were occasions, when the "enemy" almost won all the "bubbles", and I had nothing, but after hitting space, I won the argument, despite having lower skill than the other guy.

That's why I think that it is random. I'm not entirely sure of course.

Of course you're (we're all) not entirely sure. That's the fucking point. Either

A) Get clarification from Larian
or
B) Tabulate each and every dialogue roll that you encounter, with both sides' stats, and the result. Analyze the data when you finish the game.

I don't proclaim don't know either way at all, because I usually just do the minigame lol. But seriously, where the fuck were you guys in Science class? Did your teacher not teach you to do multiple trials? And write stuff down because the human memory is shit?

Well we don't know if the skip button is a a skill check or just a complete 50/50 random roll. Need clarification on that ForkTong

I checked in code, and it's 50/50 random if you press SPACE so now it's on the list of things to fix. It should take charisma and situation bonus into account and emulate the actual minigame chance-wise.
