Question about different mental stats and dialogue choices

[helmino]

Hi all, i just want to know how the 3 different mental attribute influence the conversation, what's the difference in disposition and approach for the situations for each one? They have some cap for checks?

Thank you all in advance

Conversation options is not only affected by "mental attributes", it appears to be affected by all attributes.

 

E.g. high Might and Dexterity can enable unique choices, just like Intellect and Perception can.

So a perception character alwayas notice particular things, intellect is always problemsolving andresolve is leadership all the time? Thats what im asking, how the interaction change from mental attribute to mental attribute (im interested in wich one to rise for rp purpose)

[Supreme]

Resolve has a lot of dialogue checks, along with Perception.

The issue is that max on both those stats are only ever useful for a Tanking character.

I've seen uses for Might, Intellect, and Dexterity too.

You can also pretty easily boost your attributes by 2 points using items, so if u want to meta-game u can always have that as well

 

SPOILER: also found +3 cloak (the wailing banshee quest)

It tells you in the character generation screen:

 

Might: Intimidating displays and acts of brute force

Constitution: Withstand pain or endure physically taxing situation

Dexterity: Slight of hand and fast reactions

Perception: catch a lie, comment on appears or notice background details

Intelligence: deduction, realisation and problem solving

Resolve: Intimidation, leadership and convincing performance

Eight. But the same enchantment won't stack.

[helmino]

So you can have only one +1 and one +2 in total?

If you have an item that gives you a +1 to int and one that gives you a +2 to int, then the +1 bonus won't be applied because of the +2. Bonuses to the same stat do not stack. 

Having multiple items that give a bonus to the same stat is meaningless in this game.
