Major: meeting Areelu

Parts: 3

Meeting Areelu and receiving crucial information about the mythic powers origins is one of the most important milestones in the game's plot.

Because of the controversial nature of this revelation, we felt it necessary to add some companion reactions directly to the scene in Nocticula's palace, and to link this conversation to the subsequent Nexus discussions about the revelation.

"Yet we meet again." Companions will now react to meeting Areelu in Nocticula's Palace.

Companion lines added for Daeran (Lann will react to his line if present), Ember, Lann, Seelah, Regill.

Nenio already has an in-game reaction in the vanilla game, so she'll react here too.

The whole conversation goes on with almost no comment from the party members, but that does not mean that they just stand there pointlessly. We have added a remark pointing that there will be an opportunity to discuss this whole ordeal later in the Nexus.

Text snippet(s)

You feel the stares of your companions at the back of your head. […] “Later,” you mouth silently. Get through the audience with Nocticula first. Everything else will have to wait until you are back in the relative safety of the Nexus.

Theological debate winner

Daeran Seelah Plot

If the Commander chooses to say, "You won't make me believe this lie," there will be an additional remark from Daeran. Because there is almost nothing Daeran likes better than to take a jab* at the priests of Iomedae.

* Seelah disapproves.

Text snippet(s)

if Daeran is present

“Oh, this is just priceless! […] I wish we had it in writing. Because I’ve just won an argument with a whole cathedral full of priests!”

if Seelah is present

“Will you shut up already? Now is not the time to behave like this!” […]
