Snake Eyes Condwen is a character in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
Background[]
The pirate looks you over, eying the make of you. A sly smile curls at his mouth as he tosses a pair of dice to rattle over the cobblestone ground.
Condwen is the local gambler, offering a rigged game of dice to the gullible pirates of the Fort.

Quests[]
- Blow the Man Down: If you pickpocket the Peculiar Dice from Snake Eyes Condwen, an extra dialogue option opens to discuss the rigged dice, or Unlucky Ancret's debt, as well as with Ancret herself. You can also continue playing, which removes the skewed outcomes, and after 3 wins he'll realise that he no longer has his rigged dice and you can confront him.
- Note that you must inspect the dice in your inventory first (by clicking "Inspect the dice"), and then the second set that appears by opening the item inspect window - simply pickpocketing the dice does nothing. Either way, Snake Eyes will be chased off, leaving the entrance to the Eastern Ramparts open.
Dice game[]
The game he plays is high/low: You bet on the sum of two six-sided die rolls being higher than, lower than, or exactly 7. per roll, payout is 2x for high/low and 4x for seven. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the game's rigged. 100
In a fair game (not in real-life), rolling high or low would be a 5-in-11 chance of winning (~45.4%), while rolling 7 would be a 1-in-11 chance (~9%).
However with his rigged dice, the outcome you bet on has reduced odds. Betting on, and then successfully rolling high or low is reduced to a 5-in-14 chance (35.71%), with the opposite outcome having a 8-in-14 (57.1%) chance, while rolling 7 is unchanged.
- The possible outcomes are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Betting low skews the results high, adding the additional outcomes: 10, 11, 12
- Betting high skews the results low, adding the additional outcomes: 2, 3, 4
You can pickpocket the rigged dice from him (see above), which prevents the additional outcomes from occurring.
State | Outcome | Probability |
---|---|---|
With rigged dice | Low (when betting low) High (when betting high) |
5/14 (35.7%) |
Low (when betting high) High (when betting low) |
8/14 (57.1%) | |
Seven | 1/11 (9%) | |
Without rigged dice | Low/high | 5/11 (45.4%) |
Seven | 1/11 (9%) |
The game takes some liberties with the outcomes of rolling a pair of dice, only considering the possibility of each outcome as 1 permutation. In real life, different combinations of rolls can yield the same outcome, with 36 possible permutations. The probability of a pair of dice resulting in a sum of high or low (exclusively) is 15-in-36 (41.67%), while rolling a 7 is 6-in-36 (16.66%).
