[edit] Bad Dates

What happens if the meeting didn't go well? What are the other two options besides optimism to give Sunel? C Teng ^[talk] 21:44, 5 October 2008 (EDT)

I've played this through three times but never had it go bad yet. I've marked it as a good question for now so we know it needs answering. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 00:48, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

If it doesn't go well, then you do not get the bipolar blade. The quest ends, the girl you asked to meet Sunel likes you less, and Sunel himself doesn't want to talk to you. Quite a bummer.97.89.58.122 16:29, 18 December 2008 (EST)

I've taken a look at Sunel's dialogue and the accompanying scripts, and it works as follows.

The success of the date is determined by a random calculation that's determined in the same moment Sunel gets placed back into his shop after the date. This random number is between 0 and 99, and if it's over a certain number (from now on Difficulty Level), the date is successful. If it's below the Difficulty Level or they are equal, the date fails and you won't get a reward.

The Difficulty Level depends on what advice you gave Sunel before the date:

• If you've told him to be optimistic, the Difficulty Level is 33. This means the date has a 66% chance to be successful.
• If you've told him to be himself, the Difficulty Level is 50. This means the date has a 50% chance to be successful.
• If you've told him to talk about his late wife, the Difficulty Level is 85. This means the date has a 15% chance to be successful.

This info is based on Sunel's dialogue and scripts, but I've taken a brief look at the other two men's options, and it seems they use the same mechanics. If anyone feels like it, they are free to add this information to the article. --81.183.145.25 14:20, 10 February 2009 (EST)

All now added to the article. Thanks! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:26, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
