	BG2, I prefer elves and big-dicked orcs
	Fallout, I prefer ghouls and big-dicked super mutants
	they're both excellent games in their own right and god drat you for trying to make me choose between them

	both are gay but not as gay as the OP (me, I'm gay)

I'm not going to pretend that Arcanum is a good game even though I enjoy it.

I dug up the Arcanum Dialogue Mod.

Teh information is prepended to the dialogue line in [] square brackets. the format is xy:z where xy is a two letter code (in for int, pp for pick pocket), and z is the minimum value for the conversation option to show up (if the number is negative then its the maximum value). Also Rxy:z refers to skill ranks, ie apprentice, expert etc. If theres more than one thing its comma separated. And uhh. In NPC lines it'll show a bunch of stuff usually, because it shows the potential stat requirements for all pc response lines. So like, if its possible to use either persuasion or charm to respond to an npc, it'll say something like [ps:x,ch:y]

It doesnt show npc line information for stupid pc response lines (int 4 or less) and its a bit goofy with ranges, like if your pick pocket has to be between 5 and 12 or some poo poo, but it works its just a bit clunky in that area.

You need to have the unofficial patch with extra content installed, i mean, It might work without it but it might also horribly break a quest or something cuz the right flag isnt being set.

Just extract it to your arcanum folder and overwrite

so far so good, it seems to be showing up properly in the virgil convo at start. just to make sure i understand what you said, negative means a dialogue line triggered a stat below a certain amount?

Yea. That usually means if you get to that stat level you get a different line. The text might be the same but the outcome would be different

one thing i noticed is that the 500 gold-wager trivia in taverns is now really easy because most of the wrong answers are dependent on int

not that it wasnt eminently abusable before of course but still
