I'm having a lot of trouble with Chapter 2, specifically where I need to test eloquence with the 2 smugglers before entering the warehouse ... I've tried different distributions of talent points and I always fail my eloquence at that point.

Any suggestion? when i ran the game for the first time this didn't happen to me, but now, i can't get past this part.

The dialogue with these two guards is RNG no matter how you distribute your skill points. It's just a question of luck, sadly.
