Mass Effect Hints

Conrad Verner

  • 1 of 8: In your initial conversation with Verner, he'll ask for your autograph, and then take off.
  • 2 of 8: To speak with him again, you'll need to first finish the Finding Liara T'Soni, Noveria, or Feros game sections, or do any three UNC Assignments.
  • 3 of 8: When you return, you'll find Verner in the same spot.
  • 4 of 8: Talk to him to find out that he now wants a "heroic action" photo of you.
  • 5 of 8: Come back after finishing another of the above-mentioned game sections (or another three UNC assignments) to get the third and final Verner conversation.
  • 6 of 8: This time, he'll ask you to see about making him a Spectre.
  • 7 of 8: You can get some morality points if your Charm or Intimidate talents are high enough to use a persuasion option on him.
  • 8 of 8: In any case, he'll leave for good, and this assignment will be over.
