Learn how the Intimidate talent works in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (ME1). This guide covers talent levels and their impact on dialogue options.

Hey there! So, you're looking to beef up Shepard's ability to talk their way out of (or into!) trouble, huh? The Intimidate talent is your go-to for that. It's all about making sure people listen to you, whether you're trying to get information, avoid a fight, or just assert dominance. It's super useful for opening up new dialogue choices that can really change how conversations play out.

Basically, every time you put a point into Intimidate, your score goes up, and that unlocks more options in conversations. It's pretty straightforward, but having a high score can save you a lot of hassle or even lead to some pretty interesting outcomes you wouldn't get otherwise.

Talent Levels

Here's a quick rundown of what each level of Intimidate does:

Talent LevelDescription
1Sets Intimidate score at 1; opens up new dialog options.
2Sets Intimidate score at 2; opens up new dialog options.
3Sets Intimidate score at 3; opens up new dialog options.
4Sets Intimidate score at 4; opens up new dialog options.
5Sets Intimidate score at 5; opens up new dialog options.
6Sets Intimidate score at 6; opens up new dialog options.
7Sets Intimidate score at 7; opens up new dialog options.
8Sets Intimidate score at 8; opens up new dialog options.
9Sets Intimidate score at 9; opens up new dialog options.
10Sets Intimidate score at 10; opens up new dialog options.
11Sets Intimidate score at 11; opens up new dialog options.
12Sets Intimidate score at 12; opens up new dialog options.

So, as you can see, it's a pretty linear progression. The higher you invest, the more doors you unlock in dialogue. It's a great talent if you like to have more control over conversations and explore all the different ways a situation can unfold. Think of it as your Shepard's personal charisma (or maybe just their scowl) stat!
