That seems like a pretty big change, and I have to wonder what that means.

My guess is that it'll still let you pick Charm/Intimidate/Reason dialogue options, and it'll use your Charisma score and it'll tie in the Trait system to modify that - so if you pick charming options in dialogue a lot, you'll improve the trait that boosts Charm.

But maybe to make that work properly they may need a trio of Trait axes:

• Charm - Intimidate
• Charm - Reason
• Intimidate - Reason

All of those might start out at 0 and can go to something like +100 or -100.

With your modifiers in place from the traits, it may then take those into account with the situational bonuses. Charisma would still probably have to be the main modifier.

However, I think the Trait system is still waiting for code, so it may not be in this update. We'll have to see.

Hmmm... from the changelog:



That must have something to do with it.

In 8min i will be able to check it out ingame , but yea this seems like a big change. I hope this is not one of their decisions to cut some stuff out

It's going to be interesting, don't quite understand the reasoning, but will reserve judgement till I see it in action ingame.
Which hopefully wont be too long (damn real life :))
