    For a simple quick way to get this achievement, start a new Rouge type character, and pour all your level up points through the opening of the game into Cunning and Coercion. I do not know what level of either you need to be at to do this, as I was level 4 Coercion, and 22 cunning when I found this.

    After getting past Ostagar, and making your way through Lothering, head to Denerim as your first stop. Once hear you need to head to The Pearl, the brothel that is part of the quest Pearls Before Swine from the Sergent Kylon in the Market.

    Once there, talk to the Sanga, owner of the Pearl, and ask to see either the men or women, it does not matter. When they come out, she goes through the rules, and tells you the price. You get a persuade option to drop the price to 20 silver instead of 40.

    Now if you persuade her, select the option to change your mind. DO NOT ACCEPT AND PAY THE MONEY. If you accept the 30 silver price she offers, then the option to persuade her goes away. Turning it down and starting the dialogue up again adds another successful persuasion.

    CrunchyGoblin68Still works (July 2017), just an FYI do not select "surprise me" as you lose your 40 silver without a persuade attempt, the option to persuade is still available when talking to Sanga again.

    Vulker707Tried this November 2021, still works. I tried it with the options for the men, the women, and some of both. They all work. Do NOT chose “surprise me” as that finishes the interaction with Sanga. I did not choose “Er, never mind.” as that seemed pretty counterintuitive.

    UraMallasStill works as of May 29, 2023.

    If Oghren is in your party you get a +1 for 'women' or 'both' but a -1 for 'men'. Just a FYI as you can manipulate Ogrhen's approval a bit with this exploit, if you are so inclined.

    Best done with a rogue class as you get additional talent points to put into coercion early in the game.

    Very simple - with high cunning and coercion take the persuade option in every dialogue available. Take as many sidequests as possible as many of these have a persuade option. Save before each dialogue encounter in case you make a mistake.

    Leo AscendentAlso, these tally up across all saves. If you have done 10 in one game, you only need to do 15 more. Assuming you keep that save file.
