#the stabbing not the convo

[that-one-gay-bitch]

Hate when people try to correct me on my word choice. I was telling someone about how I stabbed myself with a sewing pin and they were like "ah, the word ur looking for is 'pricked' 🤗." Like no bitch, I was pinning 12 layers of canvas together and that pin entered my finger at speed. It was indeed a very small stabbing

One of the perks of living in Gotham is that occasionally you’ll walk past a Wayne having the most batshit insane conversation anybody has ever had.

Walk past Dick Grayson on the street and hear him say into his phone, “I don’t think he’s anti-vax, but Superman is definitely not vaccinated.”

Stand outside of the downtown WE building and see Tim Drake walk out with his tall friend only to pause and say, “Hold on, I just got the mental image of Lex Luthor pregnant. Thanks for that.”

A lucky few who ride the same subway line as the newest Wayne edition, overheard Duke tell Stephanie that living in Wayne Manor is, “Alright, but when I moved in Jason and Damian gave me a knife and said I had to kill Tim. Said it was tradition.”

“It kinda is. Did you do it?”

“No!” Duke says, to the relief of the overhearers. “Get this…he stabbed himself.”

“…yeah, I should’ve guessed that.”

The downside to living in Gotham is literally everything else.

One of my absolute favorite dialogues you can have with Astarion is after your Durge discovers that they're Bhaalspawn. (which is saying something bc he's got a lot of great dialogues tbh). He's been supportive of you up until now. Hells, he's even kind of into how much of a little freak you are if you're romancing him. But this? This is A Lot for him. His facial expressions are controlled. He chooses his words very carefully, not expressing a strong opinion of you resisting or submitting to your father's will.

You can tell he is already running the mental math in his head about how risky being with you is going to be going forward. He is very much just as freaked out about this as any of the "good aligned" companions. No harm in hedging his bets, though.

BUT if you choose the option to admit that you are scared, and you don't know how to fight back against someone as powerful as Bhaal, his whole demeanor shifts.

"You know, I didn't realize you and I were so alike. I- I felt paralyzed to do anything about Cazador for so many decades. I gave up on myself. I gave up on any hope of escape after a few lashes. Bhaal controls you in much the same way. I don't know how you can beat him, but I do know this; you must try. The half-life of a mind-addled slave is worse than death- don't become his. I wouldn't live another century as one for all the moonstones in Evereska."

Genuinely one of the most honest and introspective and vulnerable responses from him in the whole game. And the soft pleading desperate way he says, 'don't become his'??? I am feral. I am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.

There’s so much to unpack with this conversation I don’t even know where to start like what is wrong w them.

time for Payback unused dialogue master post (the mission is internally referred to as SS or SweatShop)

i think this mission is pretty good as is but i'm still kinda disappointed it ended up being basically a Wei only show since during some point in development the Boys had a much more active part in it, in both a functional sense where they would've been actually present in it even beyond the beginning, but also just portraying them as actual characters. like i've already posted about how Vincent originally had a ton of dialogue for this mission, probably around the same amount as in Listening In, and they paint a pretty good picture of just what kinda person he is

another Water Street Boy who initially had way more to say was Calvin who's not even shown on screen in the final game, you just hear his disembodied voice when the Boys light up the warehouse

the convo between him and Wei where he asks about Dogeyes was probably originally intended for Duke because he says a similar line, but it was only recorded by his original voice actor (TC era Duke i assume). maybe Calvin's character was a later addition and UFG tried to incorporate him into the story more by giving him random inconsequential convos originally intended for Duke or Conroy. anyways Duke himself didn't have a whole lot to say beyond that and most of it's just leftovers from his original VA

then there's Conroy who also doesn't have a whole lot of unheard stuff beyond what's already in the game, there's the line about Wei having to get blood on his hands to prove himself that in the final game only plays in Wei's nightmare after the mission, and also him getting really excited about burning down the sweatshop

i think this bit is interesting though: "You take the back. Draw them away from the front and then we'll come in" like they almost let Conroy take charge over the one single thing he's supposed to be good at for this one shining moment. why Wei would never stand for that this is HIS show ONLY. and speaking of

Wei was originally gonna handle SIu Wah a bit differently, way more diplomatic. i guess you could say it's how Charles Ho would've done it because it doesn't really fit Wei's character anymore. also UFG seemed to really want the convo about Wei and Dogeyes to happen but they just couldn't fit it in

Siu Wah naturally has unused lines as well but i'm only here for the Boys. iirc he did have a different voice actor originally though

Over 800 hrs in this game and it just occurred to me that when Astarion has his little "how should I kill you" conversation, if you ask how he wants to die, he frowns and says "I don't think poison is for me, nor stabbing, come to think of it" because he's already familiar with being stabbed to death :)

Rei: I quit

Shigeki: no. It is your destiny, your purpose—

Rei: I still quit *shoots him*

[the-maddened-hatter]

Y'know the line "it's not that I want to, I'm just afraid I'm going to" from Chris Flemming's I'm Afraid To Talk To Men really is the perfect way to boil down most of my intrusive thoughts to their fundamental essence.

[pm] Hey, I went back home for the holidays. Needed to see my parents. Just wanted to let you know.

[pm] Bitch, I just got stabbed and you leave me?

Kidding! Can't believe you went back home though. How'd your parents react when you showed up?
