Whenever you enter an Inn, you may notice various Patrons sat or standing at the tables placed around the room. Conversation with them will reveal some humorous but often mean spirited responses. Though on occasion there is some helpful information shared with you. A transcript can be found in the Patron Conversation section below.

Patron Conversation[edit]

The various Inn patrons respond to you with randomized lines with various attitudes. These personalities are themselves as a whole inconsequential as they might change after a couple of interactions with patrons, even to the point where one changes their attitude after reply is given to you

"Best ale in [settlement name], here at the [tavern name]. Go drink some and leave me alone."
"[Regional exclamation], do I look like I want to be bothered, [PC race]?"
"Leave me alone."
"Listen, I came here to drink in peace. Do you mind?"
"I'm trying to a [sic] have a life. Go away."
"I'm not interested in anything you have to say."
"Go away."

"Sorry, I don't think I know you, nor do I wish to."
"I want to be alone."

"No offense, [PC race], but I don't need any company right now."
"Begone, o [PC race]. I don't wish to converse with you."
"I have zero interest in you or anything you have to say, [PC race]."
"You might find this hard to believe, but I don't want to be your friend."'
  • Passive aggressive*
"[Provincial exclamation]! No offense, [PC race], but would you mind stepping a little upwind of me?"'

"I'd like to help you out - tell me, which way did you come in?"'
"Do you mind, [PC race]? I was just having a chat with my invisible friend."
