Umm, kinda awkward...
« on: July 10, 2012, 12:12:00 pm »

How do you seduce animals? I'm at L+ Animal rights, and the wiki says it can be done. I have a charisma of 145 (I edited the save just so I can do this, and will change it back later) and a seduction score of 15. How do I do it? Do I go up to the animal naked, or what?

That feature might have been removed at some point, the wiki isn't very well maintained. You can talk to animals right? Does it give you an option to say a pick up line?

I think the only way to recruit guard dogs and such might be guitars.

Wait what, you can actually use the guitars for something other than busking?! :o Mind=blown.
Time to go attempt a guitar-only playthrough!

They can be quite effective weapons in the hands of skilled musicians. Anyone else will just get shot to death by the police.

With a Heart of 20 or more, any Liberal can talk to guard dogs, Animal Rights status notwithstanding.

Ah. I can't raise my heart because for some reason, when editing the save file you can only change one character values to another one character, two to two, or (I guess) three to three.

You could raise your heart by leveling up in-game. >:]

You'll need a very high (>10) base heart to reach 20 however...
Mutants are among the only creatures (apart of the founder) who can reach such levels.

Hippies regularly start with 10+ Heart and are among the easiest people to recruit. Also useful when you're trying to build a Liberal Guitar Squad of elite battle musicians.

Once you do have some elite battle musicians, another fun trick is to convert high-level conservatives. Rocking out will boost their heart until it's higher than their (often very high) wisdom. :)

I tried this. I got into a duel with a hangin' judge.

No Corai. California is so liberal they resist your liberal.
I am giving nothing to the bee-raped, kobold loving, swing-state taking pedophile that is Corai.

Liberal judges are better than hippies against anything else than a lawyer/Judge, cause they roll heart AND Law against Wisdom and law. Two rolls against one is better than a high level guitar against wisdom. You just need to chat with juries a lot to get a high law... And they tend to have higher Charisma, so they can do better at disguise and pretend to belong at any conservative hideout.

Conversion by rocking out is much more fun and it still works regardless of 'best way' or not.

Play as you will though, it is your crime squad after-all.
