in my case, Diego became available only after waiting for him for 3-4 days in a row.
As for that person you are trying to meet, if we are talking about the same person, i have no advice for you. I guess i know who they are and i was doing everything i could to avoid that meeting, and still met him in Harmonia. But maybe you should try Perceprion since it's about being attentive
ah ok ok. Thanks for the advice, I’ll try to upgrade my perception. Cause I think I did too much with the appearance and my stats are too unbalanced 😭 (Mind you, my appearance is 33 and the rest of my stats don’t even break into double digits) so I lost a lot of stat rolls. Definitely should have put more thought into this
I used to max my appearance too cause wanted to try win all battles by sex in my previus time playing, but didn't manage it. Other stats are very useful, they let you use different styles in battle, using meele and ranged attacks, avoid being killed by one punch, cast more powerful magic too. so now i upgrade all of them (appearence is still my favorite).
Also a little tip: if you use sword in battle, you can speak with Feraldo, if you let him join the crew. He can teach you some useful skills
