0.10.4 Unhelpful and unfriendly NPCs [RESOLVED]

Post by Mordoth »

My High Elf did nothing wrong. No matter where I go and to whom I talk to, I can't get any information. People everywhere despise me for no reason. I tinkered with save files to get higher rep, made a "Charm Spell" and used console commands. People now greet me very friendly but as soon as I ask a question they want me to go to hell.
What's going on?

Have you checked your status? Did you do any quests involving killing someone? Are you using any mods?

A save game would be handy to inspect what's happening. Note that a low personality and regional rep can influence this. Details on finding saves are below.

Also, can you please confirm you're using version 0.10.3?

Here is my most recent save.

Personality 15. We have our problem :lol: Your Etiquette and Streetwise are also at 6%, so they can't help you.

There are more mechanics at work, so I'd recommend reading this post by Interkarma.

Oh wow, that sucks. Thank you. How can I counter this? Can I modify some files or do I have to start over?

Your save information is in .txt format so it's very simple to edit. Look for a file called SaveData.txt in your save game. My character's stats are saved in this section:

Code: Select all

            "reflexes": "VeryHigh",
            "name": "Testman",
            "level": 1,
            "stats": {
                "Strength": 90,
                "Intelligence": 90,
                "Willpower": 90,
                "Agility": 90,
                "Endurance": 90,
                "Personality": 90,
                "Speed": 90,
                "Luck": 90
You can increase and decrease as you choose :)

Even with a reputation of 40 and no criminal record, Ian/Indigo couldn't get commoners to tell his character where to find people. Asking about building location worked much better (0.10.4)
