I just started playing Oblivion, started late I know (right right i bow down to your over 30 level character…suck it). Anyway, I had a hard time figuring out persuading people so I turned to the internets. Below is what I found out. Hope it helps.
Explanation:
The mini-game is broken into quadrants:
- Admire
- Joke
- Coerce
- Boast
There are also four separate blocks in each quadrant, all of which are different sizes. When one of the blocks is clicked they will cycle in the clock-wise direction.
Once you start the game rotate into each of the quadrants and watch the character’s face. The face will change to a
- Smile
- Semi-smile
- Semi-frown
- Frown
How to get the maximum amount of points (seems obvious, but sometimes ya gotta just say cr@p):
Select the quadrant that gives a frown when the smallest block is in that quadrant
Select the quadrant that gives a smile when the largest block is in that quadrant
Each time you select a block it will be grayed out and not selectable again.
Tips and Tricks:
Quick and easily raise your speechcraft (Xbox 360 version). Talk to someone and persuade them. Start the cirlce minigame and just keep rotating the circle and keep pushing the A button. You will gain speechcraft semi-quick doing so and there is no limit how long you can do this. Also it does not matter what the n.p.c’s disposition is. You can just keep doing this and raise your speechcraft all the way up to expert level semi-quickly.
