Sarsage Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I just got the achievement myself, but i'll continue to look for more. Same, got it about an hour ago. Thanks for creating this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoborg Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I got it too right in the middle of the moonsong camp quest. Feels good as it's really one of the most easily missable achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimrock Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 finally got my 1000/1000, i can say this its easier to start a new game and just focus on persuasions. i followed everything in this thread and it unlocked but i noticed one thing while doing it, Dispelling did not count in the end. i kept it all tallied on paper as i got them keeping each type in its own area, in the end i was at 50 persuasion, 5 dispel, and 1 detect hidden (lie). just start up a game on easy and in about 6 hours it should did (depending on skill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying starting a new game lets you accumulate persuasion points from an older save? Because you can't complete the achievement just in 6 hours since many persuasion opportunities are found in the faction and main quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoborg Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The quest natural order (found it in glendara) has a persuasion option at the end of the caverns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can't complete the achievement just in 6 hours since many persuasion opportunities are found in the faction and main quests. what i meant by starting a new game is if you messed up around the start of the game like i did and missed a good about 5-10 its easier to start a new game. as for 6 hours i did the entire main story, 3 factions too the end (only did the start of sorrows), and a bunch of quests. i ignored 70% of monsters and fast traveled as often as i could. and no they do not stack between games, i was at 39ish on my first play through.

KeepEmRolling Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for all the work putting this list together. I didn't start using it til I was into the game awhile. I had already completed Warsworn and Traveler faction quests and I'd failed 5 or 6 persuasions earlier in the game. I just got the achievement with quite a few on the list that I hadn't done or progressed far enough to do. I still haven't been to the eastern area and I'd estimate there are at least 65 opportunities based on the ones I failed and what's still on the list I haven't done.

Hoborg Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 2 more in the red marches. One from just talking the first guy in the town about treasure and the second at the end of the quest that leads you into the tomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buffmuffin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Having a hard time getting this to pop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaku Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Got it a few minutes ago. I've finished Dalentarth and most of Erathell (never gone to Detyre), so plenty room to spare even if you miss a few.

Yaymez Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 In the House of Sorrows quest 'Proving Grounds' there are three persuasion attempts at different points during the initiation. You have to do a 'gauntlet' of survival and choice-making so that the king can get an idea of who you are. He communicates through a blue crystal ball and talks to you in between each challenge. Make sure to save before each conversation, I have maxed out persuasion and all three attempts had a 62% chance of success. Had to reload a few times for one of them to succeed.

Alaskanassassin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This helped a lot thanks. I missed a good amount during the story but had my skill maxed out, going through the random side quests i had it by the end of your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoborg Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was wondering whether I was wasting my time posting in this thread but it looks like OP updates it regularly. Good work, this should be stickied for the benefit of future users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hextech Raven Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for the tips I was pretty scared I wasn't going to be able to get the achievement because I missed quite a few of the persuasion attempts in the beginning. I just barely got the achievement, 76 hours in and 189 quests completed, on what I think would have been the last persuasion attempt possible for me XD (just finishing up the Scholia Arcana).

Good work, this should be stickied for the benefit of future users. I believe that i listed most, if not all of the persuasion attempts. I didn't touch side missions before finishing the game on hard. The way i did this was to list main quests, faction quests and then the rest in that order. Maybe that could've been done differently, but i'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrianmccain Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 During the rebuilding Seawatch quest, there is a persuasion attempt when going after the second servant. I finally got my achievement to pop yesterday but continuing to look for options as they come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrianmccain Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 another attempt for the third servant in rebuilding seawatch. Even with a maxed persuasion skill, I only had a 72% chance for success. You also have the option to buy the item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansathan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Got this last night, 60 hours in. Only have 3 points in persuasion (1 book, 2 trainers) and I had no trouble. Just save before you are about to turn in quests, as many times the NPC will have persuasion options in the dialogue. I did the save/load trick when I failed, but truthfully I passed most of them, even with only 3 skill points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Moozipan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think there are enough persuasion options cause i got the achievement before i went to the second island but missed some persuasion options in the beginning. This guide really helped me alot. they should make it a sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzygodofrock Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 There is a third persuasion on The House of No Doors, Oneth Tansand (Receptionist) right before you go to the window grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
