6,9 (from general) 11, 17 (from the story ones) AND 1, 2, 11 (from romance) for emrys!! >:3
tav companion asks!
Thank yoouuuu so much! <33 this got so LONG waghhrrr
6. Do they have any secrets that can be revealed? What are the prerequisites for this secret coming to light?
not exactly secrets. emrys is intense and a little cagey by nature. you can start prodding at her ideas almost right off the bat, but depending on how you go about it you find out more about her past and how she's come to these conclusions or she'll shutter up and double down on what she thinks she knows best on.
9. Does your Tav have any escalating conflicts with one of the other companions, like Lae’zel and Shadowheart’s knife-fight?
oh I imagine she can have an escalating conflict with about. um. half the cast, depending on how it pans out -- not anything like an off the bat rivalry though. her conflicts are the bone-deep, betrayal sort, and how she's influenced by the player impacts her reactions too. but baseline: ascended astarion? escalated conflict. sharran shadowheart? escalating conflict. minthara? escalating conflict AND it's homosexual. the player too low on approval? she'll probably try and fight them at least once (defended in fair combat and chosen to spare her, she'd be taken aback and have to grapple with all of that--potential for a rivalryromance in there).
11. What do they say if the PC tries to force them to go up on stage with Dribbles the Clown?
(my friend Emrys here is a bundle of laughs) "If y' think it's so fuckin' funny, you go on up there, yeah?" -> (up you go, emrys.) "Tyr preserve me..."
17. If romanced, how do they react to the Dark Urge trying to kill them in Act 2?
she would take the dark urge warnings seriously, right off the bat. after the dark urge is tied up and such, from there, there would be an option with the saving throw to ask her to strike you down right then and there, and she would level her knife at the dark urge for a moment, hesitating, before her face crumbles and she pulls away, reaffirming that when morning comes, there will be time for that yet, in a soft sort of sad tone. reserved, resilient, visibly pained but stalwart, swearing on her life to see them through etc etc. -- there's a lot of fun dichotomies in there.
Is your Tav a romanceable character? Are there any specific requirements to romancing them?
answered here!
2. Does your Tav need to be flirted with to start the romance, or will they approach the PC themselves if approval is high enough?
Ideally, you wouldn't really need to flirt either -- for a while her scenes and romance progression would be the kind where the platonic&romantic blur together fairly seamlessly. she's a slowburn, and so long as the other is getting closer (or chafing against her in a particular way that makes her doubt & question her beliefs, which is another way of getting close). she wouldn't approach about a romance, but there would eventually be a point where a sort of. insight check Oh You Can Tell She Has Feelings moment would happen, OR she would have a Character Moment in late act 2 that would trigger her finally confessing her long-held feelings. either way, lots of buildup, lots of almost-touches and glimpses of warmth. would NOT really jive with casual fucking around although I could potentially see her being a "we're all hot-blooded after the goblin camp and I'm not immune" depending, and by depending she actually WOULD NOT agree if her approval was too high, too much feeling involved, but -- then its back to platonic glancing either way.
11. What are Tav’s plans for the future? Do they propose to the PC, or is marriage not something they’re interested in?
not necessarily interested in marriage at present, but she would probably have a. I swear to be by your side if you'll have me. type moment, one that is very vow-like. ideally, she'd want to do something where she's still useful, on another adventure or staying to rebuild baldur's gate, but would ultimately be content so long as she's by their side etc etc. BIG fucking sap underneath the 185k word slowburn longing glances and stoicism.
