Durance is conceptually so funny to me. Here's the most unpleasant man on the planet. He's also the only healer in the game. Good luck.

Been playing Pillars of Eternity all week and decided to try to keep a journal of interesting moments, since it turned out to be pretty fun when i did it with fallout 1. It's a much longer game so this is gonna take a while but here are my favorite pages!

Durance: Tell me, Watcher. Have you ever desired so strongly that you wanted to claw at your own insides? Have you hated so fiercely that you lay awake at night, shivering and thinking of murder?
Selene: I... know what that feels like.
Durance: I asked a simple question, Watcher. Yes or no?
Selene: No. It happened to other people. I just get to remember that instead of them.
Durance: As I thought. Observing a trial is not the same as being tried; you have yet to taste the flames.
Selene: I've been a little busy trying to stay alive.
Durance: One trial of many. We'll see what becomes of you when you have to face the rest.

*Spoilers for Pillars of eternity*
You know things are getting heavy when even Durance realizes he should shut the fuck up.

if the bones still slept under that hill, none can say
hope you're having a good holiday season, @tarbuchyloewenthal! here's you're @secret-st-waidwen-exchange gift :D hope i did your watcher and her relationship with kana justice!
The issue with Sun in Shadow, Kana thinks, is that the lack of light, combined with the still, stale air, makes it difficult to measure just how large it is. The journey in had been quick, as any wicked pursuit would demand; the return, however, is slower.
He hasn’t seen them this quiet since the day they all fled Defiance Bay. It’s not a good kind of quiet — too heavy, almost crushing in its refusal to be ignored. It’s the kind of quiet that he’s always felt the need to alleviate with a factoid or a tune, though that’s always been a surefire way to earn one of Maia’s more vicious glares.
(A kind of quiet that almost feels wrong to break — heavy and suffocating and all-encompassing, like it has been the day he’d clawed his way back up through the ruins of Caed Nua, his quest an abject failure.)
As it is, Durance is already sporting quite the scowl. “All is well, my friend?” asks Kana, trying for a smile, and finds that it’s not quite as difficult to summon one as it had been the day his search for the Tanvii ora Toha had come to a bitter, miserable end.
Durance doesn’t dare smile back, but his scowl eases ever so slightly — which, by all units of measure that Kana knows of, is as close to a proper smile as someone like Durance will get.
“Do you ever think before you speak?” he retorts, and the low rasp in his voice undercuts its bite. “Or does the volume of your chanting drown even the smallest, most insignificant thought?”
Kana chuckles, and it warms him as it rumbles in his chest. “Not your finest work, my friend. I’ve heard worse from my sister.”
Durance clicks his tongue, sharply averting his gaze. His staff taps loudly against the floor, but in his footsteps is the slightest unsteadiness, almost a stumble.
A little ways away, Sagani lets out a quiet huff that could almost pass for a laugh. “You must be awfully excited to go home, then,” she says. “That’s the fourth time you’ve mentioned her today.”
“Is it really?” asks Kana, tilting his head to the side. “Well regardless, there’s no guarantee that she’ll be there when I return. She’s quite a busy lady, after all!” Alas, spoiling Ishiza may very well have to wait for a while longer.
… but what would Maia say, if she were to have witnessed what he did? She never put much stock in the gods, and perhaps for good reason — it would have only been a distraction to her when her duties do not demand that she pay attention, fold everything she learns during her travels into her understanding of the world like the Chanters’ College does of Kana?
Does any of it matter when their family has never been particularly religious? Does any of it matter when the Engwithans’ philosophy has little bearing on what their brethren in both Rauatai and the Deadfire Archipelago believe about the same deities?
Durance had been angry, upon coming to some sort of resolution regarding Magran before setting foot in here; Iovara had been nothing but kind as he laughed, and laughed, and laughed as she spelled the truth plainly for them all. Hiravias has always had plenty to say about matters aside from Galawain and Wael, and yet his attempts to dodge those conversation topics has never been so obvious. Edér hasn’t said a word at all since their final confrontation with Thaos, which is all the stranger when his silence is accompanied by a deep-set furrow to his brow.
Lightly, Sagani touches Kana’s elbow. “Leave it, Kana,” she says, quietly.
“But I wasn’t going to say anything,” he whispers back — or at the very least, it’s as close to a whisper as he can manage, which is not very quiet at all.
“You were thinking it,” says Sagani, bluntly.
But how could he not say something? How could he just leave it be, when so many of his friends and comrades have just had the proverbial rug pulled out from under their feet? How could he possibly ignore it, when the answers that so many of them had been searching for had led them to a miserable, fruitless end?
How could he remain quiet, when everything his dear friends and comrades believed to be true had turned out to be little more than a bitter, miserable lie?
(The same way, perhaps, that the same friends had remained quiet but ever present when he’d found a similar end in the depths of Caed Nua.)
A little ways away, there’s Wulfrun, her head bowed ever so slightly and her lips down-turned. When Kana makes his way over to her, lightly bumping his shoulder into hers, Sagani doesn’t protest — which is all the confirmation he needs that his attempts to help will not cause undue harm.
“How goes it, my friend?” he asks, and takes care to keep his voice soft.
It takes a moment, but Wulfrun turns to him with a thin, brittle smile. “It’s going,” she answers. And he knows, without having to ask, that this will not be the last time she lays eyes on this place. This will not be the last time she sets foot in this place — and that, more than anything, confirms that this journey has not broken her.
Kana chuckles, and it warms him as it rumbles in his chest. “Well,” he says, “that’s the best place to start, don’t you think?”

Durance: Have you ever chased a skirt, wizard, or do you merely hide behind them?
Aloth: Don't pawn your personal problems off on me!
Durance: They will use you, cast you off when it suits them. Never speak another word to you!
Aloth: Maybe they just don't answer to "fiery whore".

I'm working on a fic where Durance (Pillars of Eternity) meets Tristian (Pathfinder: Kingmaker) under strange circumstances, and the two have a conversation about what it means to devote oneself to a goddess.
This is my first time writing Durance, so for practice I wrote a small scene of the beginning of their meeting from his POV!
-------
The fire burned. That was a blessing.
Durance prodded at the blazing firewood with his staff, sending a plume of sparks shooting up into the darkness. Darkness all around, as far as the eye could see; darkness and the flame, and nothing else.
He shifted uncomfortably on one of the logs that ringed the fire. A knot dug into his ass. Squirm as he might, there was no spot to find that was more agreeable.
Beyond the fire’s heat, there was a chill that set his teeth on edge. He wiped at his brow and peered into the dark once more. No shapes revealed themselves to him; no eyes stared back into his. If there was a sky here, it was devoid of stars. Look long enough, and he began to feel as though his eyes had been put out.
Better to watch the flame.
Why was he here? How? He had been tossing on a lumpy mattress in a nameless inn, twisting like a hog on a spit, when all sound around him fell to silence. Fire danced behind his eyelids, and he opened them and found himself here.
Alone.
Lost in darkness…
No. He pushed the thought away.
Another trial, then. Another of the whore’s tests. Only a woman could be so demanding. A bead of sweat slipped down Durance’s temple, down his neck and beneath the collar of his robe. He straightened. When he set out from Halgot, he knew only that his road would be long. But there was a flame within him, and this journey would not douse it. Could not.
Beyond the fire, something moved.
He tensed, fingers closing around his staff. Without turning, he let his eyes slide towards it, tracking it at the edge of his vision. Slowly, the figure approached the flames, becoming clearer in their light. It was a person, dressed in loose white clothing, with porcelain skin and long, light hair –
Durance grunted appreciatively, and tugged at his belt –
– and a masculine jaw set above broad shoulders. There was some sort of wooden carving clutched in the man’s hands.
A pity. Durance allowed his gaze to flit sharply to the stranger’s face, and suppressed a grin when he saw him jump. Very well. If not a welcome diversion, then perhaps some answers. “Whose hand dragged you here, then?” he asked.
#this definitely feels like “draw x in your style”#“write durance in your writing style” haha#it was really tough!#but i'm pretty happy with how it turned out#anyway phew. the actual fic will be from tristian's pov. bless.#pillars of eternity#durance#ana writes things#ana writes pillars

If you want to do more voice line compilations, how about one with combat voice lines?
Indeed I do! Since you didn't specify character or situation I decided to be a bit creative. I did limit the ones that are just funny noises but those last two made me laugh too hard to not take them. xD Also turns out Maneha has a whole set of very funny reactions like this one, I might do that one seperately some time.
#pillars of eternity#audio#voice lines#edér teylecg#maneha#hiravias#pallegina mes rèi#devil of caroc#grieving mother#durance#concelhaut#adaryc cendamyr#did have to take two deadfire portraits for this#it continues to shock me that adaryc doesn't have in the white march#did my boy dirty#eventually i'll probably get to deadfire but I don't have that one installed currently so later

Whenever I see posts saying Pillars of Eternity would be better without Durance I just cannot relate man. Do I think he’s horrible, unpleasant, nasty to be around? Yes! Do I ALSO think he is so central to the emotional core of the story, with an arc and writing and a performance that blows everything else out of the water? Fucking YES.
I won’t say what bit because spoilers and I know people are playing for the first time but there is a point in his arc that came together so perfectly to me that it’s probably my core memory of that game.
#he’s dreadful and that’s the point actually#his arc is insanely satisfying#durance#poe#pillars of eternity#is it time for a poe replay? maybe
