Major: Daeran's Q3
Parts: 7Daeran's One Final Breath quest in Chapter 5 is dramatic, so we just had to add companions' reactions to some of its stages.
We've also been adding a few things to expand overall reactivity (Daeran's suspicion of Liotr, multiple options for (not) turning Daeran over to the Inquisition, etc., etc.) over several versions of this mod.
Don’t be suspicious
in 0.9.9e+ Drezen
after Liotr's visit Docs
After the Commander talks to Liotr, suspicion raises its head and Daeran asks questions about the unexpected visitor in the bedroom (started through the general dialog tree).
This conversation is available from the beginning of Chapter 5 until he arrives at a certain location in Q3.
The Commander's answers and Daeran's lines vary depending on the state of his romance and his level of trust.
An early game over is also possible.
Text snippet(s)
“It seems that our triumphant return hasn’t gone unnoticed. I saw Inquisitor Liotr leaving your chambers the other day. […] Anything I should know about?"
[Answer 3]
“You got me. We have a steamy love affair!”
Companions are astonished

final quest location Docs
Companions can now intervene with their remarks before the pyre in Q3.
Companion lines added for: Camellia, Ember* , Lann, Nenio, Sosiel, Seelah, Woljif (as tiefling in his human ending and as demon).
* She also tries to intervene separately later if at least one [lie] option is selected.

[Ember]: “Only we are surprised, they are not!”
[Seelah]: “Did I miss a briefing or something? Could have sworn that we did not discuss it beforehand!”
Stumblin’ in

final quest location Docs
If Daeran's romance is active during his Q3, it will be recognized when he stumbles off the pyre.
Otherwise, it seemed odd for the Commander to just chill out and watch as if all is well (and all shall be well).

{n}As Daeran descends from the pyre, you instinctively move forward to catch him, but his gaze stops you dead in the tracks.{/n}
It’s not fine
in 0.9.9e+ Daeran's Q3
final quest location Docs
The default option of turning Daeran over to the Inquisition sounds like "Fine, Inquisition it is", so we simply had to add more dialog options to that scene to showcase the complexity of the situation.
Because there may be reasons for everything, but sometimes it's not fine.
Added lines for active romance, as well as for neutral and lawful alignments, Angel, Azata and Demon mythic parts.
Text snippet(s)
[Agree to hand Daeran over to the inquisition tribunal] “Daeran, you have to face the tribunal, or this nightmare may never end.”
[Demon][Attack Liotr] “It will be my pleasure to kill you, inquisitor!”
Companions react to the ultimate decision
in 0.9.9e+ Daeran's Q3
final quest location Docs
If the Commander decides to give Daeran to the Tribunal, the companions will comment on it.
Companion lines added for: Arueshalae, Camellia, Lann, Seelah, Sosiel, Woljif.
Lann's lines vary depending on whether Daeran's romance is active.
Woljif's lines vary depending on whether he has a human/demon ending, whether Daeran's romance is active, and whether the Commander is an Aeon or an Oread.
Text snippet(s)
{n}Arushalae stares at you, eyes wide and unblinking. No words are spoken, but you’re sure that she is horrified by your decision.{/n}
if Daeran’s romance is active
[Lann]“If you think this is for the best, then I’ll support you. But I doubt Daeran will ever see it that way.”
Hypocrisy, thy name is Commander
in 0.9.9e+ Daeran's Q3
final quest location Docs
Daeran will comment if you try to shame him after all the inquisitors in his Q3 have been killed.
If you previously killed Hulrun for Ramien or Ember, it will be specifically mentioned.
Text snippet(s)
“Besides… we’ve killed hundreds, if not thousands, of men. What makes this one so special?”
Not now, perhaps in a bit?

after Daeran's Q3 Docs
Daeran acknowledges his recent experiences with the Inquisition before any other possible Chapter 5 conversations from this mod.
Available if his romance is active `OR` if the Commander has decided to get rid of his problems in a very... drastic way.
Text snippet(s)
“[…] I’m not in the mood to talk about what happened out there with the Inquisition just yet. I’ll find you when I’m ready.”
