"Well, it didn't go... well."

Thanks anyway, Lann. You're one deadly cave potato.

Ember talking with Soot. Maybe they are discussing whether or not it is right to make evildoers face their punishment, or maybe Soot is simply getting reprimanded for sneaking food. We may never know.

Wrath of the Righteous features a roster of splendidly written and enjoyable companions, but the majority of their interactions are, sadly, easily missable on individual playthroughs. A collection of camping banter made by the amazing @neverwintrians remedies this issue to some extent by making some of the dialogues easily accessible for all the players. Since the characters’ input goes much further, a good while ago, I started a project to record all their comments and interjections. The idea was to copy-paste them from the localization file into a convenient spreadsheet. Since a new wave of players pick Pathfinder games after playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and we have more DLCs on the way to reignite the interest of the old fans, I figured it’s about time for me to share the results so far. Whether you want to use it for all sorts of analyses, as an inspiration or a reference for fan content, are simply curious, or want to get a few laughs: here you go.

Now, a few notes to keep in mind.

The data is still incomplete. My current playthrough goes very leisurely, and I only finished Act 3 recently. Almost everything past this point, save for some crucial parts of the story I revisited, comes from the run during which I wasn’t yet using Toy Box. I intend to continue slowly patching the holes as I go on, but please take what you see in the later chapters with a grain of salt for now (and don't expect to see Ulbrig's lines there).

Having that said, the branching, especially in later acts, gets crazy, so naturally, I wasn’t and won’t be able to find every last bit of dialogue on my own. What you see is based on my Angel playthrough, in which I haven’t even activated most of the romances. I managed to cheat my way into some interactions that normally would be unavailable to me, but the results were mostly confusing. Cells highlighted in yellow contain dialogues that I found via game files but either have some of the information missing, or I simply wasn’t able to trigger them while playing. There are also red cells that include lines that, to my knowledge, might not have been implemented since I found them in localization files, but the blueprints folder doesn’t confirm their presence in the game.

So here’s where I have a request for you all. If anyone can help me fill in the already existing blanks or spots a dialogue is missing and can provide a screenshot or a transcript of it, please contact me. I will add it to the document and credit you. All I need to know is when and where the conversation occurs, what/who the companions are reacting to, and if there are any specific requirements to see it.

The areas of special interest are:

mythic path exclusive interactions,

romance exclusive lines (especially in Acts 4 and 5),

Greybor’s, Arueshalae’s, and Lich companions’ lines during the celebration in Heaven’s Edge

late game dialogues for corrupted Arueshalae

I also want to thank GardathWhiterock from Pathfinder reddit, who advised me to look into the blueprints folder. Once I figured out how to work with it, filling up the majority of the blanks became super easy.

I will most likely edit this post in the future to note some important updates and milestones. For now, I just hope you guys will find anything of interest in what I have gathered.

My priggish Commander Vespera chatting with the infamous Count soon after the siege of Drezen, fully recognizing his oblique speech strategies by now and getting amused by his unsuccessful verbal manoeuvering.

Super late to the party with the fanarts, but I still wanted to finish it since this questline was one of the biggest highlights of my Angel playthrough. I will never run out of praise for how well-crafted character Daeran is and how much his story nails my absolutely favorite tropes and themes.

On September 13th, 40 years ago, the first chapter of Fist of the North Star was published in Weekly Shōnen Jump. To celebrate this occasion, I decided to redraw a fanart of Kenshiro I made several years ago.

After dedicating bajillion hours to WotR, I finally decided to draw my Angel Knight Commander — Vespera, an aasimar paladin of Sarenrae.

I usually don’t get attached to the characters I create for cRPGs. Still, this game is super long and does a fantastic job prompting the player to get invested in their mythic hero’s story and to establish their personality. So hey, here goes nothing.

I drew a bunch of cosmic Prussians from my favorite cartoon soap opera. Here’s the template, in case anyone was wondering.
