Oblivion Tutorial: Persuasion

TLDR:

Look at the character's facial expression as you scroll through each of the four emotions. There will always be two good emotions (characterized by smiles) and two bad emotions (characterized by frowns). These will not change during the mini game.

What you want to do, is make sure the smallest wedge is on the two bad emotions every time. This is possible since the wheel always moves in a clockwise direction. So look at the way the wedges spawn, and determine which ones to click such that you will be able to get the smallest wedges on the two bad emotions each time.

This method will always work. It will always increase disposition, and if repeated enough times, will max disposition out. No need to waste money on bribes! Once you get the hang of this, it only takes a few seconds longer.

Even better TL:DR: Find the 2 negative options by hovering them and checking for facial emotions then make sure you only press the negative ones when they have samllest pie procentage.

Youtube waited 10 years to teach me how persuasion works in oblivion.

[yeahiguessso]

Dang so this whole time ever since 2008 I've been wasting so much gold

[JCivils]

Here it is 2016 and thanks to you I've finally learned how to do this. Every time I did it in the past I'd just click random buttons. Thanks again man.

Thank you Callen Koester, for teaching me how persuasion works in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

It's actually easy to understand. I confess I didn't get it in the first time but when I did it a couple times I get that is everything on the facial expressions. Just look at the facial expression he makes and do it so the filled slices match his "approval" facial expressions. The more the slice is filled, the more disposition points you'll lose or gain. Bribing helps sometimes when the max disposition isn't still enough

Had to rewatch the video a bunch of times but i finally got it hahaha. Thanks, guy!

Extremely helpful! My friend tried to teach me and completely botched the explanation cause if me to go for like a 30-45 minute persuasion attempt. And that was if I didn't fuck up. Thank you sir! THANK! YOU! SIR!

[Maedness.]

10 years ago and it just helped me out. thanks!

[allwhite]

I already knew how to do this, but you described this the easiest anyone could possibly do it

[basedbattledroid]

It's easy with Khajiit because when they're angry; their ears go back, it's harder with Argonians because their faces don't move much, but happiest and angriest will still be somewhat clear

[lilac_lottie]

i can see this video going viral in like 2022 coz of youtube recommending it to everyone. see u then

[Elsher_Bader]

Nice i will probably never play this game or watch other videos about it but i was deeply informed thank you.

[TheRealJDC]

Makes sense! Thank you from 8 years in the future!

[ProjectRedfoot]

Perfectly concise! Lol they give you about 2 minutes before this NPC's disposition goes to 0 and the video is 2:01 lmao

[snowisthebestweather]

It would be nice if they actually explained in game what this did. I had no idea that I could get more quests and info from people like this.

[itsbashfulbasil]

I still have no clue what to do. I have been trying to persuade Hieronymus Lex for hours and still have yet to get it right =v= How the hell do you do this?

[VVR]

This helped me because I didn't understand it at all before. Thank you (I didn't notice their faces until you pointed it out)
