Notes[edit]

  • To reach the Armun Pass Outpost, return to Arvud and follow the road out of town leading south, turning left at the signposted junction to Hlan Oek, and right at the junction thereafter.
  • A Sway check is a hidden check run when selecting the dialogue option it is attached to, and measures a combination of your Personality, Speechcraft and Luck, with additional modifiers applied based on your target's Disposition and your level of Fatigue. High values in all of these attributes increase your chances of successfully passing the check.
  • A Haggle check is similar to a Sway check, but measures Mercantile rather than Speechcraft.
