✨True and Real ✨

BUT might I add that they do a really good job in my opinion of. Skirting the very fine line.

For example, re Aymeric and (idk if I saw this in another post or like in the tags on this post) but Thancred literally saying “I think it’s love” when referring to how excited Aymeric gets to ask WoL to participate in the Grand Melee, it’s super fun bc here’s just a few interpretations you can come up with depending on your own fun little headcannons:

Aymeric has a crush on WoL and Thancred sees it, is making fun of the WoL and/or wing manning for the WoL

Thancred has a crush on WoL and is jealous (variations still if you think Aymeric actually has a crush or Thancred is just projecting)

Thancred has a crush on Aymeric and is jealous of the WoL (saw someone say this on a bi-thancred hc post…. Amazing)

Aymeric is a little socially awkward and doesn’t know how to turn off the charm, and is just genuinely shocked and kind of excited to be borrowing you for what’s a sure-win at the Melee, and Thancred‘s making fun of him for it

Secret fifth option: ur a little crazy and have this conspiracy theory that the WoL is secretly a primal and accidentally enthralls like most people they meet LOL… (y’all I haven’t finished the game idk exactly how crazy this is or not but… let me live in my crazy theories)

Anyway in conclusion it’s so fun bc it’s specific enough to each character that there’s actually fodder there and so that not every character is just a milquetoast “likes you because you’re on their side” or “dislikes you because you’re not on their side” BUT still allowing plenty of room for more specific interpretations.

Yoshi-P: we keep the npc interactions ambiguous so the player can interpret their relationships themselves

Haurchefant: asks you to smile with his dying breath

Aymeric: has dinner with you at his house

Y'shtola: insinuates that she wants to spank/dom you

Estinien: wears leather pants and an unbuttoned shirt to visit you in the middle of the night

G'raha: literally everything he says/does

Emet Selch: spends 13,000 years committing heinous atrocities to force the scattered pieces of your soul back together so he can be with you (and your other boyfriend Hythlodaeus)

Zenos: asks you to fuck him every time he sees you
