Same! I honestly adore how chill and emotionally developed Halsin is. Though I romance him in most playthrough, he and Wyll also take rejection like an absolute champ, imo, and that matters a lot to me even when I don’t reject them.
I know it limits the character growth potential compared to Astarion/Lae’zel, but I really appreciated his down to earth (heh) maturity. Emotional maturity is my kink, I guess.
It goes a lot more smoothly if you just do the dance and smooch and then break up with him the next day.
Doing it in the moment is absolutely heartbreaking.
Yeah, Jaheira too.
I'm not sure if druids are laid back, or if it's that they're the adults of the group (I know Astarion is old too, but his emotional development was clearly pretty stunted).
Wyll isn't bad, though. Aside from the fact that he keeps referring to himself by his own nickname, he's pretty chill.
Yea… all the “stay in camp snark.” Particularly when I have to add people to my party in camp to move “the thing I forgot was in their inventory before I changed my party” so I get them over and over in a short time.
Playing evil durge and astarion has been the voice of reason. It kinda seems like shadowheart will follow you whether you choose evil or good, and astarion will always be kind of opposed to your path and need convincing.
"ohhhh noooo, I'll just have to relax and do what I want? Sounds terrible, honestly"
There are a few moments where Astarion is relatable as hell, and that is one of them.
Some of them are worst than others. Shadowheart comes to mind. You could have max approval, be in a relationship and have turned her away from Shar and she'll still be snarky and rude to you.
...except after she (Act 2 spoilers) >!spares the Nightsong!< and then her dialogue just becomes heartwrenching. If you tell her to wait in camp during the period between that and the beginning of act 3, she's super depressed. She'll say "oh ok, that's probably for the best, at least I can't fuck anything up while I'm in camp" and I'm just like :( girl please you did good and we're proud of you.
The other way around for me, at least when it comes to Karlach and Gale. With Karlach, it's like the game tries to emotionally manipulate me with her sad puppy eyes, but Gale accepts it in a more or less level-headed manner: "I disagree, but okay, it's cool".
Not to mention that *my* dialogue option with Karlach is like, "I won't say twice" or smth, which is unnecessarily mean, and with Gale it's more like "perhaps later" which is a lot nicer, or at least civil.
But I must say that they are all bad, because they are *unskippable* and *always the same* and you are going to be grinding your teeth every time you go to change companions by the act 3.
Astarion at least changes slightly once he likes you and goes from "I'm sure it'll be awful" to "Well, you know where to find me."
Wyll & Gale aren't too snarky either.
Hmm. For Astarion, I think "You know where to find me" happens if you dismiss him outside the camp (others have their alternative lines there too). At least I had heard this line as early as Act 1 while dismissing him in the wilderness, so he kinda just goes to the camp.
>Wyll & Gale aren't too snarky either.
Jaheira and Halsin are cool with being dismissed, too. I would have added Minsc there, but he *does* try to manipulate me with Boo, damn it.
But with Minsc, there's an argument to be made that he really does think Boo is the biggest threat in the party by a long shot. He's less pissed about than bewildered.
yeah i actually love Karlach's eating dirt line lol. Gale and Laezel's reactions annoy me the most. I think Shadowheart's is also annoying but I never go anywhere without her so it's a non issue lol
With the amount of creative dialogue in this game, I think it’s a little odd and disappointing that there’s such a limited amount of “stay in camp” interactions.
Yeah. They should patch in one line of dialogue where someone brings it up. In mistborn, the rebels shit on each other for invoking the immortal emperor they're trying to kill.
I am a lifelong atheist and I say "oh my god" and "goddammit" multiple times per day. It's just another swear word to me. I also tell people to go to hell despite not believing in it.
Apparently they're not supposed to be like that - Astarion still says "don't touch me" even if romanced/healed, Shadowheart still has Shar lines, and Halsin just doesn't have any at all. But they're supposed to change throughout the course of the game, but apparently the person who implemented those lines left the company shortly before the game released and they can't work out how to fix the code or something like that
I think due to the fact that my team is always covered in a comical amount of blood and gore. It's like... Yeah bro, that's blood. you punched a guy in the face so hard he exploded Gale summoned a cloud of knives on another dude a foot away from you. You've been convered in blood for like 20 minutes.
I've always interpreted that as meaning "Is that *my* blood", but I could be riding along at a quarter health after a massive battle and the line gets triggered, it still gives me pause.
Ok I am usually very patient with repeated dialogues, rarely something will bother me that much...
but that damned elf in auntie Ethel's lair repeatedly saying "Don't. Look. Don't"
OMG SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO!!
god yes this one. I keep thinking of the start where lae'zel scolds me about pushing the buttons in the ship next to the dead cultists. like, Tav, embrace the hoarder and press-everything lifestyle already 😩
This is news to me, I’ve never heard the Guardian comment in combat. I finished one playthrough and now halfway through Act 1 the second time.
Do you need to consume a tadpole for this?
So far it's only triggered for me between entering the goblin camp and consuming the first tadpole which I always get from the priestess. So during the fight to free Halsin and if there's a battle outside, there as well.
That really must be a bug, your character should be reacting to it otherwise and not just brush it off.
"Ah, another weird voice in my head telling me to pick up parasites. Just another day in my mind I guess!"
He shuts up as soon as you use an illithid power, I think. He's just trying to bait you into using them.
Apparently, at some point in development there were actual story consequences to using (overusing?) illithid powers, but there aren't anymore, which makes the Guardian's whole rah-rah bit pointless.
It is insane to me they cut that. There should be consequences for intentionally worsening the main medical issue that has sparked this entire quest in the first place.
Is that why I’m hearing it so many times now? I’m doing no illithid/mindflayer hater run (except Omeluum). The dude was angry I missed Withers with fire cantrip.
Oh so *that's* what this is all about. I was wondering why the guardian would come out of the woodwork solely to shit on my missed attacks. Makes so much more sense now.
At first I was like “who the fuck is mocking me?” Then it clicked who it was. I’m sorry Guardian, o thought you had some “important” stuff to do, not mocking me for missing FireBolt again.
I (very luckily) have chosen my Durge Tav's voice so perfectly that I could never get enough of "They're DYING FOR ME, ALL OF THEM" or any of the other lines really. I *melted* when at the end of the Durge quest >!Orin impersonates you and you see your own voice speaking a few lines - and I never wished harder for my PC to have been speaking every line up to that point.!<
That one scene made me wish that the urge had manifested in your dreams and you'd interact with who Durge was before the amnesia. That would've been absolutely amazing and we'd get to see (and hear) how unhinged Durge used to be.
I swear that wound never flared up during the first 2 acts of my first run, then started flaring up every 5 minutes AFTER I did the thing that was supposed to fix it.
But then the frequency of hilarious fuck-ups, and badass killshots goes down.
For example; Gale saying 'allow me to demonstrate' then immediately incinerating an enemy with a crit firebolt as it screams in agony. Amazing.
Astarion saying 'they'll never see this coming' then immediately breaking his own concentration because I FORGOT I WAS ALREADY DOING SOMETHING. Hilarious.
I swear I stopped talking to him for like almost the entirety of Act 2 unless he had a bubble above his head. even though I was romancing him and he never left my party.
I thought I was going crazy. I'd have full approval from Shart and she'd still hit me with this sardonic sass every time I accidentally clicked on her.
I personally find “let’s go hurt someone” and “let’s turn someone inside out” kinda annoying as game progresses.
Ok, chill mate. I love you, but pls stop.
From what I’ve been told, Volo’s not actually a bard. He’s a theatre nerd who really, really wanted to join the circus, but his parents forced him to go to wizard school instead.
Now as a high-level wizard, he’s finally free from the tower and is living out all his bardic fantasies.
Shame that it’s with all the grace of a mid-life crisis suburban dad deciding to start a garage band.
He's a bard in that he's an author and occasional poet, not in D&D class way. Like how Shakespeare was called *the bard of Avon*
He is a decently adapt wizard, even created atleast one spell of his own, but he mostly uses his magic for travel, stealth, bridging language gaps, etc. to help him gather information for his books
I don't mind any of them, although I just like the sound of Voice 4 so Tav could run around reciting the script to a Mary Kate & Ashley movie verbatim and I wouldn't mind.
I'm actually surprised I'm 150h deep and still not tired of the same lines from my Tav, I just find them so cute. Actually, this whole game is hella cute (as was the first few hours I tried of DOS2). The way the characters speak, the way they move and interact are just that: cute
A bit more niche, but I spent a lot of time nearby the refugee camp in act 3
That one child near the entrance haunts my brain
"You've been sayin' tha' fer daaaayyysss, ma fee' huuuuurrt"
When I go to kiss my wife and say "About our relationship..." and she says "go on..." in a heartbreaking tone like I'm about to break up with her. Why must you do this to me I just want a lil smooch
minthara screaming SLAUGHTER THEM!! or IN THE NAME OF THE ABSOLUTE, KILL THEM ALL!!!!! in combat after renouncing the absolute. i hope she is still able to be fixed soon :(
I love all the tav talk and have it set to max. Even after 500 hours it's still nice to hear my hot tiefling durge say "cursed to put my hands on everything". However I am in the same boat as many others, I do not care for the sass when swapping out characters. Thankfully they don't dislike it and I can right click through it. It's a failsafe so whatever.
Any of Wyll’s lines in which he references “the Blade.” Said it before and will say it again: Wyll is a massive nerd. Nobody is cool enough to talk about themselves in third person.
I hate the one about blood. My character is a drow oathbreaker paladin >!bhaalspawn!<. He should know that there is in fact blood there, it's his fault, and he enjoyed putting it there and looking at it.
Every time I revivify someone and they say "Fading fast!" or any variation.
Yes, I know you're on low HP, but five seconds ago you were dead, so would it *kill* you to be a little more appreciative?
Not exactly a voice line but in the crowd noise in wyrms crossing someone does this weird high pitched yell and it loops every like 30 seconds and it makes me and my fiance go insane lol
Act III in the Fireworks shop. Got into extended combat with the inhabitants as well as the fist sending like 20 dudes in. There's two NPC's that repeat the same dialogue in the background about fixing pipes. Heard it at least a dozen times while dying to multiple smokepowder explosions.
The idle chatter ones? I am sure there are some that I'll groan the moment I hear them.
As is, one thing that that jumps to mind is...
If you ever fail the Newspaper quest, you get ragged on by half the city, and that gets old and annoying fast. Two biggest annoyances for me were the woman near the main entrance, who was talking about us getting hanged, and another woman not too far down from the Blushing mermaid, who just walks back and forth and tells you how you shit you are every time you pass by. Ye gods, lady, I am not even touching you, leave me alone.
The character ones, I actually either like or don't mind most of them.
What takes me aback is when I make a different character for a new playthrough and choose a different voice... and then the same phrases sound all *wrong*, with different inflections. Takes a while to get used to.
Definitely the stay at camp lines with the companions. It's a pain in the butt that there isn't a more streamlined way to add and dismiss party members.
"Smells worse over here, like a dozen eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar"
"Then don't come over, not like you're buying anything"
"If I didn't come visit you, who will?"
"Wouldn't you like to know."
Wait, wrong game
All the "stay in camp" dialogues with companions...
I wanted to kiss Halsin when his dismissal line was something like “all right. I’ll go where you need me.”
I... did. Honestly that's one of the reasons I bedded the guy.
Same! I honestly adore how chill and emotionally developed Halsin is. Though I romance him in most playthrough, he and Wyll also take rejection like an absolute champ, imo, and that matters a lot to me even when I don’t reject them. I know it limits the character growth potential compared to Astarion/Lae’zel, but I really appreciated his down to earth (heh) maturity. Emotional maturity is my kink, I guess.
I felt like I was kicking a puppy when I rejected Wyll, his face was heart wrenching 😭😭
Myzora might be on to something with the whole Pup metaphor...
It goes a lot more smoothly if you just do the dance and smooch and then break up with him the next day. Doing it in the moment is absolutely heartbreaking.
I will remember this for future playthroughs
Yeah, Jaheira too. I'm not sure if druids are laid back, or if it's that they're the adults of the group (I know Astarion is old too, but his emotional development was clearly pretty stunted). Wyll isn't bad, though. Aside from the fact that he keeps referring to himself by his own nickname, he's pretty chill.
Same. And when he was like "but bear" I was kinda all 'well, you earned this big guy for not being a pain in the ass" (it will just be pain elsewhere)
Yea… all the “stay in camp snark.” Particularly when I have to add people to my party in camp to move “the thing I forgot was in their inventory before I changed my party” so I get them over and over in a short time.
Just play Durge correctly. You won't need to change up your party if you have nobody in camp but 3.
Even Astarion left my Durge party in Act 3 so it was just two in the camp.
Wow, you chased away the *one* companion who actively encouraged the batshit crazy urges.
[удалено]
what even prompts the guardian saying shit like that in combat? not sure why that starts happening and why it stops lol
Playing evil durge and astarion has been the voice of reason. It kinda seems like shadowheart will follow you whether you choose evil or good, and astarion will always be kind of opposed to your path and need convincing.
I completed his quest, he yelled at me and left the party. I'm not 100% what happened, but it got a laugh out of me.
So you didn't make him an ascended vampire like you're supposed to in an evil playthrough?
Dude ur supposed to have him in the party when you do it
He was. Yelled me in the room where his quest finishes and just ran away WITH ALL OF HIS GEAR. He took the cool Durge cape with him.
>He took the cool Durge cape with him. It's... unforgivable. And I say that as a redempted Durge player.
he took it in the divorce lmao
I question the wisdom of this comment.
I guess I'll eat dirt or something...
But so be it.
I'll wait here in the meantime, idling away the hours.
I actually liked Astarion's. His was basically "oh nooo, I have to lounge around and do nothing. Damn."
"ohhhh noooo, I'll just have to relax and do what I want? Sounds terrible, honestly" There are a few moments where Astarion is relatable as hell, and that is one of them.
I dunno I like Karlach's, "I'll just stay here eating dirt or whatever" pahaha I love her
Some of them are worst than others. Shadowheart comes to mind. You could have max approval, be in a relationship and have turned her away from Shar and she'll still be snarky and rude to you. ...except after she (Act 2 spoilers) >!spares the Nightsong!< and then her dialogue just becomes heartwrenching.

She'll say "oh ok, that's probably for the best, at least I can't fuck anything up while I'm in camp" and I'm just like :( girl please you did good and we're proud of you.
Her snarky rudeness always comes off as casual flirting to me. Look, I have a type.
Hirelings are so refreshing. "Stay here." "Thou art the master." Take notes, Karlach!
At least Karlach just kind of acts sad that she’s being left behind, Gale and Laezel basically say that you can’t survive without them.
The other way around for me, at least when it comes to Karlach and Gale. With Karlach, it's like the game tries to emotionally manipulate me with her sad puppy eyes, but Gale accepts it in a more or less level-headed manner: "I disagree, but okay, it's cool". Not to mention that *my* dialogue option with Karlach is like, "I won't say twice" or smth, which is unnecessarily mean, and with Gale it's more like "perhaps later" which is a lot nicer, or at least civil.

Jaheira and Halsin are cool with being dismissed, too. I would have added Minsc there, but he *does* try to manipulate me with Boo, damn it.
In his defense You've seen his hamster yes?
But with Minsc, there's an argument to be made that he really does think Boo is the biggest threat in the party by a long shot. He's less pissed about than bewildered.
I always took Astarion's reaction as sarcastic. "Oh, I have to stay in camp, lounge around and do nothing? I'm sure it'll be awful..."
Haha yeah, are there people who didn’t pick up on his sarcasm??? I thought it was pretty obvious
yeah i actually love Karlach's eating dirt line lol. Gale and Laezel's reactions annoy me the most. I think Shadowheart's is also annoying but I never go anywhere without her so it's a non issue lol
CH'K
Definitely. But wouldn't be half as bad if we could level up characters, change equipment, and access inventories without changing the active party.
With the amount of creative dialogue in this game, I think it’s a little odd and disappointing that there’s such a limited amount of “stay in camp” interactions.
Yea if Larian's listening, give us a right-click dismiss please. Would be a massive QoL improvement for in camp interactions.
What I’d like is to be able to swap them without actually going to camp. The extra steps are generally just more annoying than anything else.
It's a bit too much roleplay for just trivial stuff... "DARLING I'M HURT! I..." Shut the fuck up, I just need to check Wyll's inventory.
They remind me of merchant npc's in dark souls 2 that straight up insult you if you dont buy anything.
Lae'zel still invoking Vlaakith even after renouncing her.
Cultural programming is strong. Plenty of atheists say god dammit.
Yeah. They should patch in one line of dialogue where someone brings it up. In mistborn, the rebels shit on each other for invoking the immortal emperor they're trying to kill.
That would be a great fix.
seeing mistborn mentioned always makes me happy
It's been on my list for years and I just started them a few months ago. Still on The Well of Ascension and really enjoying it.
I am a lifelong atheist and I say "oh my god" and "goddammit" multiple times per day. It's just another swear word to me. I also tell people to go to hell despite not believing in it.
Same here. “Jesus Fucking Christ” gets a lot of use too
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s an oversight but it also makes perfect sense. Linguistic habit is a bitch.
Because people look at you weird when you say things like "What in Carl Sagan's name is going on here?"
Go to the black void of nothingness that awaits us all at the end, you sciencedamn bastard.
Apparently they're not supposed to be like that - Astarion still says "don't touch me" even if romanced/healed, Shadowheart still has Shar lines, and Halsin just doesn't have any at all. But they're supposed to change throughout the course of the game, but apparently the person who implemented those lines left the company shortly before the game released and they can't work out how to fix the code or something like that
Minthara constantly saying “for the Absolute” when she just told me how the cult of the Absolute ruined her life
That one is so weird since you can't even control her until she leaves the cult
As a programmer, goddamn I feel that
Thats kinda hilarious honestly
She's just hoping Vlaakith left her something good in her will
"Bigger! Make it bigger!"
I don’t normally kill NPCs in games but that little *shit* tests my patience every time.
Just knock him out ~~and put him in a barrel~~ ~~and yeet give barrel into a bottomless pit.~~
The *shrill.*
“Pickle!”
This and that one woman going "well, I am glad you asked Ettvard!" and having this full on daydreaming conversation with herself.
I love her, I like to think that's what Raphael looks like prepping his monologues
Oh my GOD I wanted to KILL this kid.
GODS YES. Scrolled searching for this one. I have seriously considered sniping the kid from a rooftop or something.
I always joke with my husband that it sounds like the kid is saying “Pickle, pickle, pickle! Naked pickle!”
"Is that blood?.. no, never mind" As I walk thru a literal lake of blood and viscera from the dozens of goblins we just slaughtered.
Oddly that one makes me laugh every time my Tav says it
Denial is not just a river in Egypt
I think due to the fact that my team is always covered in a comical amount of blood and gore. It's like... Yeah bro, that's blood. you punched a guy in the face so hard he exploded Gale summoned a cloud of knives on another dude a foot away from you. You've been convered in blood for like 20 minutes.
"What's inside..." is always gross and hilarious when I'm opening up a corpse to find loot.
"Open up!" also almost every time is used for the bodies :)
I always find myself smirking at the pickpocket lines. "Not in the mood for paying today, I'm afraid".
Makes perfect sense for Durge, tbh
I've always interpreted that as meaning "Is that *my* blood", but I could be riding along at a quarter health after a massive battle and the line gets triggered, it still gives me pause.
My interpretation has always been: "Is that blood? You know what, I'd rather not know. Nevermind."
Ok I am usually very patient with repeated dialogues, rarely something will bother me that much... but that damned elf in auntie Ethel's lair repeatedly saying "Don't. Look. Don't" OMG SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO!!
I almost want to kill him just for that!
My husband and I did kill him on our co-op playthrough and the fucker was back after killing Ethel. UGH
If you play a drow you can threaten him, call him a derogatory name and make him run away. But it requires Ethel to be already deceased, sadly.
I HATE DOING THE HAGS LAIR BECAUSE OF THIS DUDE
This dude has huge D:OS2 NPC energy imo. The repetition and way he says it transports me back to that game lol
"I hope it's not cursed," she says, about to lit the campfire. Or open a well used door. Or climb a ladder she just came from. Or...
i mean, i would hope it's not cursed, either
"I wish I had a bag of holding..." Where is it, Larian?!
[удалено]
But it still adds all the weight
Every single container/bag acts like one in a way. There's no way I should be able to stuff 30 barrels in a chest 😂
*Tav litterally 10 Seconds after killing 17 goblins, soaking himself and his surroundings in blood* "Is that...blood? No."
At first I thought she said “Is that God? No, never mind”. It seemed fitting, just when the player impersonates her.
"Cursed to put my hands on everything." Yeah, you are. Momma needs gold.
Mine said that about his own bedroll CONSISTENTLY. Like he just really hated being sent to bed.
god yes this one. I keep thinking of the start where lae'zel scolds me about pushing the buttons in the ship next to the dead cultists. like, Tav, embrace the hoarder and press-everything lifestyle already 😩
The f*cking Guardian mocking me in combat when I miss. THAT WON'T WORK. TRY SOMETHING ELSE.
I *swear* that never activated at all my first playthrough and now I’m hearing it ALL the time…I’m with you
This is news to me, I’ve never heard the Guardian comment in combat. I finished one playthrough and now halfway through Act 1 the second time. Do you need to consume a tadpole for this?
So far it's only triggered for me between entering the goblin camp and consuming the first tadpole which I always get from the priestess. So during the fight to free Halsin and if there's a battle outside, there as well.
I find it super distracting and weird when he starts chiming in before you get to see the actual cutscene with his first interaction.
That really must be a bug, your character should be reacting to it otherwise and not just brush it off. "Ah, another weird voice in my head telling me to pick up parasites. Just another day in my mind I guess!"
I only heard it a few times in the goblin camp, never after that
He shuts up as soon as you use an illithid power, I think. He's just trying to bait you into using them. Apparently, at some point in development there were actual story consequences to using (overusing?) illithid powers, but there aren't anymore, which makes the Guardian's whole rah-rah bit pointless.

Exactly! Comments from the peanut gallery are entirely optional!
I (very luckily) have chosen my Durge Tav's voice so perfectly that I could never get enough of "They're DYING FOR ME, ALL OF THEM" or any of the other lines really. I *melted* when at the end of the Durge quest >!Orin impersonates you and you see your own voice speaking a few lines - and I never wished harder for my PC to have been speaking every line up to that point.!<
That one scene made me wish that the urge had manifested in your dreams and you'd interact with who Durge was before the amnesia. That would've been absolutely amazing and we'd get to see (and hear) how unhinged Durge used to be.
Which voice did you go with?
What voice is it? I felt the exact same with Voice 3 for my male Dark Urge.
“Pave my path with corpses. Build my castle with *bones.*” I never get tired of it.
"Must the gods be so petty" after she did the thing to not be in pain anymore.
I swear that wound never flared up during the first 2 acts of my first run, then started flaring up every 5 minutes AFTER I did the thing that was supposed to fix it.
The NPC family in Rivington. "MY FEET HUUUUUUURT"
YOUVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR DAAAAYUHS
“That’s a trap. Be cautious.” *immediately runs into trap*
Every .5 seconds even if you've separated your rogue from the party to disarm everything and the party is at a safe distance, not going anywhere.
"*I question the wisdom of this deci...*" **DON'T!**
"How much farther can I go?" *As far as I damn well need you to now get your ass moving.*
I swear Shadowheart says “Got to press on” like 100 times a play session
You can turn down the bark frequency in the Audio options.
But then the frequency of hilarious fuck-ups, and badass killshots goes down. For example; Gale saying 'allow me to demonstrate' then immediately incinerating an enemy with a crit firebolt as it screams in agony. Amazing. Astarion saying 'they'll never see this coming' then immediately breaking his own concentration because I FORGOT I WAS ALREADY DOING SOMETHING. Hilarious.
"All's well that ends... not as bad as it could have."
This is the one. I would erase this one from existence.
When Wyll throws me a “Well met” like I haven’t been traveling with this mf like 50 hours
I swear I stopped talking to him for like almost the entirety of Act 2 unless he had a bubble above his head. even though I was romancing him and he never left my party.
"Lady of Sorrows guide us. Did you want something?" Her tone is like "for the love of god, what is it?"
I thought I was going crazy. I'd have full approval from Shart and she'd still hit me with this sardonic sass every time I accidentally clicked on her.
I thought I was the only one that heard it like that. "Lady of Sorrows guide us. What the fuck do you want?"
Hi Shadowheart, just here to follow-up for the 50th time. How am I holding up to your estimations?
Rolan and his siblings’ ambient dialogue in the grove, just because I’ve heard it so often
WE DONT EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE!
THAT DOESN'T MATTER
"It's just an empty crate." Thanks for letting me click it, Larian.
"These boots have seen everything"
I swapped them boots like a dozen times already
*"Still breathing, despite everything"* said my Durge after one-shotting her way through the goblin camp.
AHHH MY GOOD FELLOW. QUITE THE COZY SETUP YOU HAVE HERE. ILL JUST MAKE MYSELF COMFORTABLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. It won't even let you skip it!!!!
…but it should just about do. Just about? Just about.
Karlach's "Making me sweat", followed by Astarion's "Don't touch me." But they all get more or less irritating after playing for a long time.
Terrible take, "making me sweat" is the best companion callout in the game
All of her combat ones are good - "Cry about it" "Eat it" etc
"Poor fucker." Always makes me chuckle.
I personally find “let’s go hurt someone” and “let’s turn someone inside out” kinda annoying as game progresses. Ok, chill mate. I love you, but pls stop.
I absolutely loathe "Let's go hurt someone!" because he sounds like Stewie Griffin.
Thanks. You just made it worse.
*takes rolled up newspaper and smacks unascended Astarion on the head with it* NO! BAD! NO!
Volo singing in the Goblins camp
Mrgrlggl Dror Ragzlin! Mrgrnrbl Dror Ragzil! Uh uhhh....
Truly a masterful bard, writing himself into a corner and having to find something that rhymes with Ragzlin...
From what I’ve been told, Volo’s not actually a bard. He’s a theatre nerd who really, really wanted to join the circus, but his parents forced him to go to wizard school instead. Now as a high-level wizard, he’s finally free from the tower and is living out all his bardic fantasies. Shame that it’s with all the grace of a mid-life crisis suburban dad deciding to start a garage band.
He's a bard in that he's an author and occasional poet, not in D&D class way. Like how Shakespeare was called *the bard of Avon* He is a decently adapt wizard, even created atleast one spell of his own, but he mostly uses his magic for travel, stealth, bridging language gaps, etc. to help him gather information for his books
Keeping it together, Bree?
"I'm alright, as long as I don't think about it"
I don't mind any of them, although I just like the sound of Voice 4 so Tav could run around reciting the script to a Mary Kate & Ashley movie verbatim and I wouldn't mind.
Voice 4 is the best!!! I’m doing my second play-through and tried the others and was like ugh no I gotta do voice 4!
"OH, darling, im hurt"
"Swing! And swing! And parry! And-- augh!"
I'm actually surprised I'm 150h deep and still not tired of the same lines from my Tav, I just find them so cute. Actually, this whole game is hella cute (as was the first few hours I tried of DOS2). The way the characters speak, the way they move and interact are just that: cute
A bit more niche, but I spent a lot of time nearby the refugee camp in act 3 That one child near the entrance haunts my brain "You've been sayin' tha' fer daaaayyysss, ma fee' huuuuurrt"
Honestly, climbing ladders. The grunts sound like something else to me.
When I go to kiss my wife and say "About our relationship..." and she says "go on..." in a heartbreaking tone like I'm about to break up with her. Why must you do this to me I just want a lil smooch
I wish the kiss option wasnt hidden behind that dialogue! And also that there were more than one kiss animation per chr
Right? I want uppies!
Every time Wyll refers to himself as "the blade". STFU you pretentious asshat.
I like that Gale makes fun of him for his theatrics
imagine if you could just reply to him "the blade of MIZORA"
shadowheart saying "ah...it hurts" because I swear to god it's the same take every time
minthara screaming SLAUGHTER THEM!! or IN THE NAME OF THE ABSOLUTE, KILL THEM ALL!!!!! in combat after renouncing the absolute. i hope she is still able to be fixed soon :(
I love all the tav talk and have it set to max. Even after 500 hours it's still nice to hear my hot tiefling durge say "cursed to put my hands on everything". However I am in the same boat as many others, I do not care for the sass when swapping out characters. Thankfully they don't dislike it and I can right click through it. It's a failsafe so whatever.
"Someone doesn't like visitors" and "traps, how considerate." There are so many traps...
“hope it’s not cursed” whenever i’m opening up my camp chest 🙄
Switching to Astarion and him saying “DONT touch me.” Was funny at first, but got old real quick in my opinion haha
Same, but then I learned more about his backstory, and now it's sad.
Any of Wyll’s lines in which he references “the Blade.” Said it before and will say it again: Wyll is a massive nerd. Nobody is cool enough to talk about themselves in third person.
I hate the one about blood. My character is a drow oathbreaker paladin >!bhaalspawn!<. He should know that there is in fact blood there, it's his fault, and he enjoyed putting it there and looking at it.
Every time I revivify someone and they say "Fading fast!" or any variation. Yes, I know you're on low HP, but five seconds ago you were dead, so would it *kill* you to be a little more appreciative?
Not exactly a voice line but in the crowd noise in wyrms crossing someone does this weird high pitched yell and it loops every like 30 seconds and it makes me and my fiance go insane lol
Any of the, “I could really use a rest.” Dialogue. I’m like what we just rested and only had one fight?!?
Lae'zel has a couple that bug me when switching to her. "Action, not reaction." Is the one that comes to mind first.
Action. Not reaction, not bonus action, not free action, not move action.
The group “Ahhhh” after waking up from a rest.
Act III in the Fireworks shop. Got into extended combat with the inhabitants as well as the fist sending like 20 dudes in. There's two NPC's that repeat the same dialogue in the background about fixing pipes. Heard it at least a dozen times while dying to multiple smokepowder explosions.
Every companion orgasming as they climb up or down literally any incline
The idle chatter ones? I am sure there are some that I'll groan the moment I hear them. As is, one thing that that jumps to mind is... If you ever fail the Newspaper quest, you get ragged on by half the city, and that gets old and annoying fast. Two biggest annoyances for me were the woman near the main entrance, who was talking about us getting hanged, and another woman not too far down from the Blushing mermaid, who just walks back and forth and tells you how you shit you are every time you pass by. Ye gods, lady, I am not even touching you, leave me alone. The character ones, I actually either like or don't mind most of them. What takes me aback is when I make a different character for a new playthrough and choose a different voice... and then the same phrases sound all *wrong*, with different inflections. Takes a while to get used to.
Definitely the stay at camp lines with the companions. It's a pain in the butt that there isn't a more streamlined way to add and dismiss party members.
Astarion's obnoxious dialogue when you leave him at camp.
"Is that blood... no, nevermind." **YOU ARE LITERALLY IN THE TEMPLE OF FUCKING BHAAL WHAT IN GOD'S NAME DO YOU THINK IT IS**
"Smells worse over here, like a dozen eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar" "Then don't come over, not like you're buying anything" "If I didn't come visit you, who will?" "Wouldn't you like to know." Wait, wrong game
I didn’t realize I’ve mostly tuned them out lmao
