WarKirby3333 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) i'm having problems successfully intimidating anyone. it never works. what is it dependant on? surely it can't be based on speech. Speech is for persuading. Plus, intimidate and persuade tend to both appear as options at the same time so having them both tied to the same skill makes no sense. There is a speech perk for it though, which kind of makes me wonder. I'm playing a big scary nord warrior girl. i have a huge axe on my back and enough two-handed skill/perks to kill most people in one hit with it. i AM scary. and i really dont want to have to learn to talk nicely to people :( any ideas ?

dra6o0n Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Intimidation might be broken... The PC version of skyrim is really borked and buggy... I got a bug where 'get bounty from skarl' ended up going to riftwood when the jarl is in dawnstar, meaning the quest somehow overlapped one another or took the other misc quest's title. Btw I have like 10~20 misc quests stacking and like 15 side quests filling up my journal so I don't know if bethesda debugged it if players just fill up their journal with quests and not finish them.

nic1357890 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 persuasion is based solely on your speechcraft, intimidate is based on your speechcraft and your character level, ive had intimidation attempts fail before, but they worked when i used the console to artificially increase my level.

Spencer4678 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've had it work before. It really depends on your speech and who you're trying to intimidate. I've found that some people are easier then others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyro Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Intimidation is pointless, I find that it never works either. Persuasion works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantur Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Axes don't scare people. Cloak and daggers. Now that's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
