Charm and Intimidate[]

Could gender have something to do with it? My female Shepards always have high charm and low intimidate, and my male Shepards always have high intimidate low charm. This is through the first playthrough, and all are mostly Paragon. Flare13 05:49, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

The issue with skipping dialogue... any way to map either to another key?

6 free Charm/Intimidate points?[]

Are the free points given to you at certain levels or are they from quests? Also, at what levels or after which quests do you get them? Thanks. TopDawggamer 00:06, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

I only count four: One from reaching 10% morality, one from reaching 25%, one from reaching 75% and one from becoming a Spectre.Kalaong 01:52, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Just noticed that myself, too. It looks like only four "free" points in Charm and/or Intimidate can be obtained in a single playthrough. Seeing that they said those six points are obtained "in the course of working toward Level 60," though, perhaps they were including a second playthrough? If that were the case, though, it should be possible to only put four points into it, and get eight free points to max it out (four from each playthrough). Dan Dark 18:43, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Do the Store Discount Ranks count towards persuading people?[]

I read on the article about Helena Blake and it said it took 8 points of Charm to get her to disband the gang. However when I did the mission I had 9, counting the two Store Discount ranks, but I didn't have enough to persuade her, instead I had to reload the save and put one more rank in Charm so I had 8 regular ranks plus the two Store Discount ones. So, do they count the Store Discount ranks in the game to persuade people or not? Was the article wrong, or am I wrong for thinking the Discount ranks count for persuading, because I only have one rank of Charm left and I don't know if I should put my next point in it so I can convince Saren to kill himself?

No you aren't wrong, the discounts are just a reward for putting more points into charm and they count towards persuading. Lancer1289 17:25, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, but if they do count towards persuading I need to go edit the Hostile Takeover article and fix where it says the Charm requirement is 8 and make it 10. Never mind, I did read it wrong. It didn't list the Charm/Intimidate requirement, it listed the Paragon/Renegade bonus for successfully persuading her to disband the gang. Anyway, thanks again for clearing that up for me.

No problem. Lancer1289 19:16, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Maximum points needed?[]

I'm playing a paragon shep and currently have 9 charm points (which is what this site says is needed to placate Rear Admiral Angry Douchebag during the Citadel snap inspection.

Is there anything that requires more than this? I'll get to either 10 or 11 for free, but before I sink in that point, are there any options that need it (for 10, 11, or 12)

Sven Manguard 02:03, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

The confrontations with Ethan Jeong on Feros and Saren during the final mission both require maxed out Charm points to succeed. -- Commdor (Talk) 02:11, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Sven Manguard 01:59, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Maxing Charm and Intimidate — side effects?[]

In my female, Paragon run I maxed out Charm, earned one Intimidate (automatically as is explained on the main page), but I did not dare max. out Intimidate as well because I feared it would effect the paragon "good" run. The main reason I was tempted to up Intimidate was to improve sales prices. My next run will be Renegade (mostly).

So does maxing out Charm and Intimidate have side effects I should be aware of?

Other than potentially wasting experience it will have no real effect. 2.120.190.60 19:44, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
If you try to do it using the Lorik Qui'in glitch be aware that it can skew some import decisions towards the opposite of your chosen decisions, but apart from that there are no negative consequences within Mass 1.Garhdo (talk) 19:53, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

List of Interrupts from MEA?[]

Should this page have a list of the Interrupts for Mass Effect Andromeda, or should it have a page of its own? 65.106.151.211 12:18, September 10, 2019 (UTC)

it will have a page of its own, just no one has the time for it yet. it's preferable a sizeable amount of all interrupts has been recorded in some form already (mockup/sandbox page, notepad scribbles, etc) instead of an empty article with only a stub template on it. . .

Unique Dialog[]

I've been thinking that it might be useful to have a "hub" page for all of the various character-specific Unique Dialog pages across the games. Could that be here? EDIT: Or as an alternate idea, some kind of Navbox for them? Neo89515 (talk) 20:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
