Choosing a race (specifically Godlike) - does it matter?

[Deus2015]

Hi,

 

I'm about to start my journey through PoE2, and I want to maximise my conversation options and such, so choosing a race (specifically Godlike) - does it matter?

 

If I select, for example, Fire Godlike, do I get more conversation options over selecting a human?

There are dialogue options that require culture, race, or background so yes.

For most or all things, you don't have to be something to get the end goal you want, but there are quite a few times the game has shown me dialogue options I couldn't do because of my background/set-up.

 

The ones I've seen the most are for the Deadfire Archipelago background, the godlike race (I can't remember which specific one or if it was for any godlike), and maybe priest/Eothas priest.   I've also seen a couple for Rauatai.

 

I've also seen a couple changes because my character is an orlan, but nothing huge.

This is a very useful page which lists all the conversation checks for various classes/races/backgrounds/etc. throughout the second game.
