#PILLARS OF ETERNITY DYRFORD VILLAGE SIDE QUESTS HOW TO#

Okay, so maybe dialogue needs to at least be edited to say something like 'if you do this, the Knights/Doemenels won't be willing to work with you anymore?' OTOH, from a game play perspective, it would seem like trying to let the player string the 3 factions along as far as possible (as long as their reps with each group were good enough) could possibly be good for game play.

(Not sure how to look at the Dozen, because I don't know much about them beyond them being some sort of umbrella group for adventurers.) Of course, I suppose that from a real life perspective, some 'good' group might say that if you're doing work for a crime family, then they want nothing to do with you. But it seems to me that UNTIL you've taken that final step, if your reputation with the other factions is still respectable, they shouldn't turn their backs on you. Oh, I can see how once you do fully align yourself with one faction that the other two would probably then reject you. There doesn't seem to be any room to be neutral here and do some work with all three, at least for a while. The way you describe it, it's getting rather close to saying that if you do any work for the 'other' factions, the faction you'd prefer to align with will reject you. Trashman, without getting into the details of the dialog trees, I can agree that it seems like the 3 factions are much too black/white about whose side your on. They organize contracts and expeditions, so how is 'Hey, do you need a extra hand on one of the expeditions?' the same as 'I'm loyal to you and only to you!' There never was a 'Do you want to join us?' with the knights.Īnd the Dozen seem like a loose group. How can one expect loyalty out of me when I was never invited to be part of the group to bein with? Why am I, a neutral mercenray, suiddenly personana non-grata? Why the hell id it an insourmantable obstacle, when I have a excellent relations with the Knights?Ī fetch/exploration job is treated as a decelaration of utter loyalty. They pretty much said 'the cruicible Knights won't like it'. Pretty reasonable actions to me and my character, I think, but suddenly I'm some hardened thug in a crime syndicate? Eh.ĭoesn't everyone straight out say when you ask about their second quest that if you do it the other two factions won't be very fond of you? It was pretty clearly conveyed as an exclusive choice for the Knights, at least. I then helped them in Dyrford Village because hey, Medreth recognized me as someone that knows the Doemenels and Nyfre straight-out refused to tell me what it was all about, so hey, she got a rapier through her eye-socket. I helped them in Ondra's Gift because the Vailian Trading Company set me up to haul illegal goods.

Yes, out of character, I realize that they're basically a crime syndicate, but nothing I know for sure in the game have actually cemented that at all. Yes, my character is Aggressive and don't oppose underhanded tactics, or even cruelty when warranted, but he's also rather benevolent and rather brutally honest I've helped the Doemenels in good faith.

I've personally helped the Doemenels a bit, but it was all 'in good faith'. That being said, while I think it'd be a bit overboard to have these very clear, artificial nonsense-lines between 'member' and 'not-member' highlighted by a binary dialogue choice, I do share some of the frustration.
