Malovane Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't know about you guys - but I try and find all the little secrets in the game. I've been trying to find all the little purple hidden stashes that I can. In my first playthrough, testing everything out in Easy mode, I went with a rogue with fairly high sneak, might and dex primary, with perception secondary. I found quite a lot of the stashes - some of which were quite helpful with unique weapons and such. Second playthrough (normal mode), I built a custom adventurer at an inn that fulfilled this role. He didn't have as much perception, and was not picking up on most of the stashes I had found earlier - though picked up some others I had not found. In another start, I maxed sneak and perception, and found some new stashes I had not uncovered before, but couldn't find some stashes or switches I had done previously. So, the question is - what goes into making a successful scout mode check on finding these stashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koth Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yup... it's a bit counter-intuitive, but mechanics is required for finding hidden "purple" stashes, but this will only be activated while in stealth mode... you could even have 0 in stealth and still find hidden stashes, just hit the stealth mode with a high mechanics and you'll find everything. Bit silly imo but whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwydeon79 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think they merged sneaking and searching to the same animation due to the similarities in action. Either way you have to be slower and more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron Times Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 From a D&D 3.5 perspective: Perception is Spot, Listen, Sense Motive, and Wisdom. Mechanics covers Search, Disable Device, and Open Locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
