In A Bavarian Tale - Totgeschwiegen you'll carry out varied dialogs that require a variety of skills, depending on the conversational situation. You'll be able to make classic dialogue decisions that will steer the conversation in a certain direction. However, some decisions will only become visible once a specific piece of information has been found or the character has reached a certain skill level (for example, a charisma of 8 or higher). Alongside this, the specific skills of the protagonist, in which you can invest skill points beforehand, will be put to the test. You'll encounter dialogue options that will result in a positive outcome for the conversation only after a successful skill check. In some dialogs, choices are divided into three archetypes (charisma, gut instinct, acumen), which have different effects depending on the personality of the interlocutor. These choices can result in a bonus or malus on skill checks for these individuals. Also, in conversations that involve conflict, you can get involved in a battle dialogue. At the end of the battle dialogue, it will either turn out to be a success or a failure, depending on the dialogue options you have chosen in the process. Your choices within dialogues are meaningful and have far-reaching influence on the game world and its events. Find the right words!
