Top Tip

Persuasion is one of the most useful skills in Starfield, and will come in handy throughout your playthrough. It’s one of the skills we recommend unlocking first, and if you haven’t got it yet, make sure you do so on your next level up.

Persuasion is dependent on a good dose of RNG, so if it doesn’t work the first time around, reload and try again. The points you’ve put into the Persuasion skill can also affect the outcome, so if you have a couple spare, invest them in the skill to up your persuasion skills.

With Jacquelyn persuaded, she’ll join the alliance, allowing you to convince Banda, who is much easier to get on board.
