There's a persuasion option with Nyralim and you'll get Nyralim's Grace (10% element resistance) for passing it.

Also in the warsworn questline you'll have to speak to a girl in her prison cell at Helmgard Keep. There is two persuasion options in this conversation.

I've heard that Dispelling has some effect, but to what extent i don't know. I'm just pointing out some known places, without points in either skill.

 

I'll keep the spoilers out of it.

 

If someone has been enchanted. Put under a spell. This would cause them to challenge you and fight you.

 

If your Dispelling level is high enough though you have an additional dialogue option to "Lift the Curse".

 

The character then comes to their senses and backs off (which in some cases is pretty handy because though the game doesn't press you too hard on Normal some of these characters have the power to kick your backside if you let your guard down).

Nyralim's option is the second time you speak with him, right?

In rathir near the seafoam tavern there is a mortally wounded man next to the path. Do what he tells you and you'll get a persuasion option in the lower tunnels.

 

I'm not sure of any requirements for the quest giver to be there or for the actual option unfortunately.

 

Also I can't remember which ones but detect hidden has influenced a couple of mine before.

Yep, after you've done the quest for him. There's another one in "The House Of No Doors Quest" in the Warsworn quest line when you talk to Elbin Meroch. And in the same quest you have to travel to custom house in Rathir. There is one when you talk to the window grill.

Thanks for the tips. Got the cheevo completing "The Siege of Moondown" quest, there are 5 persuasions, 3 in a row in the end. :)

 

After completing the main quest and doing all the five Faction related, i think it will only be left around 10~15 persuasions.

 

Just remeber to reload if you failed a attempt.

 

 

Sorry for my english.

ah bugger...

 

I didn't do enough achv research and have missed a few chances at this (either ignoring them or failing). Maybe 15 or so.

 

Am I looking at a new playthrough?

 

Nobody knows how many persuasion opportunities there are in the game. I'd say you probably won't be able to get it now but you never know.

During "Breaking the Siege" just before you fight Balor, you will come across Captain Mys. If you investigate all his conversation choices (I think the "Balor" option in particular) he will gain a new option that says "Join Me" after which you will be given a persuasion option.

 

Hmm..i think i missed that myself. Well, you learn new things all the time.

The quest Tirin's Secret in Tirin's Rest has 2 persuasion options. It's also tied to the blacksmith one in town where you ask about the peacefulness. See the OP.

 

Edit: I got the first one by talking to a guard in the town (following quest marker). I got the last one by talking to the priestess at the end after you free the prisoner (no quest marker as far I remember).

The Master's touch quest seems incorrect. I talked to the smithy and was never given an option to pursuade him to return. I had maxed my persuade skill.

 

I just assumed the persuasion check was true, because i saw it on IGN. I didn't have a way to check myself, since i already met the Smith beforehand.

 

I will get around to most of these quests myself after the Faction ones.
