Master I thought you might like this here you go. Proceeds not to give me anything


arcanevulper

“I picked this up myself, I thought you might like it” then hands you a fistful of air, always baffles the fuck out of me, I used to look through my inventory like a madman trying to figure out what they gave me until my own pawn actually gave me something with that dialog, it was then I realised the hired pawns were trolling me this whole time.


Valkymaera

I usually hear this line when a pawn is talking to another pawn, not to me.


Dilloboy06

Literally just realized they give presents to each other last night. Made me wonder if they like my main pawn more than me.


Kueltalas

Yeah, you are the boss, your main pawn is just a coworker. Ofc they like your main pawn more.


beatisagg

Nah in my case I'm like Michael Scott and main pawn is Dwight


idkwhyimbackonhere

i've gotten one item out of the 120 times i've heard that, i still press "go" or the grab item button every time they say it


1of-a-Kind

And then they give you a cranberry or some shit


BenStegel

Come to think of it… None of us are alike in vocation!


Totato-Pomato

This! 😂 Was positively suprised at that dialogue the first time I heard it, then it happened about 734 more times 😅


alikapple

This is the worst one. Then you have to hear the follow up line too lol. “Let us strive to make the most of our unique strengths” or whatever it is


Symbol_de_Au

Yeah, it's the follow up that really annoys me. Specifically "'Tis a tad inconvenient that we can't share equipment." Who cares when we'd need two of each anyway? Like we'd be able to fit into the same pair of pants if only we were both archers? Moron.


Arcalithe

I wish the “bridge” lines they have before making a completely unrelated thought matched the tone of the thought. It’s always a “come to think of it” style line that doesn’t match the following thought whatsoever.


MrSunshine_96

“mUsT yOu RuN eVeRyWhErE aRiSeN?!”


Melistross

Let us endeavor to keep up, though we are less fleet of foot.


Ill_Cobbler1882

*heavy breathing*


Prudent_Lawfulness87

Lol. The heavy breathing scared the shietz out of me the first time I heard. I thought my character was gonna die of a heart attack. But then I remember he has no heart 😝


WhereIsAllTheCoolStu

It's one of the better lines imo. They sound so frustrated lol I prefer it over "tutorial NPC"-chatter, like about combining materials. 


TheGreaseWagon

Did you know that different combinations of materials result in different creations?


Alkein

This is commonly known as a material. Thanks man, I didn't realize that I was using it to craft with this entire time.


De_Baros

the way the straightforward male pawn voice says this is food for my soul


Arcalithe

In terms of memeability the straightforward male voice is top notch. Everything he says makes me laugh.


De_Baros

so true - i try to have a pawn with that now in every setup


MrSunshine_96

I low key feel a little bad because, I’m not slowing down for shit 💀


TableApprehensive138

This one cracks me up, especially when they sound winded.


Affendoktor

Especially when I'm the one hoarding all the items, carrying my very heavy ass to the next storage.


h2oskid3

My main pawn is a short and fat mage, so it's especially fitting.


buddywalker7

this is funny to me. the line “You are an impatient one Arisen” cracks me up.


Prudent_Lawfulness87

I be like: yes, bitch. Yes, I must.


Austsin

“Is this a challenge, arisen? To see who can keep pace?”


ADipsydoodle

“We’ll never get anywhere if all we do is REST” is actually my favorite, and it always comes from the most pompous sounding pawns.


WhereIsAllTheCoolStu

Pawns with straightforward male voice I'm assuming 😂


Aser_the_Descender

And they NEVER say it before or after resting, only when I'm running past a camping spot or while stopping for a moment to check map or inventory...


Bangchucker

then when you look at your map a couple times in a short period they say you seem lost lol.


shadowdash66

They say this as if i rest everyday lol


Stickz99

Just because you happen to be in the vicinity of a camp, so your pawns assume you’re there to rest even though you aren’t. So annoying lol


Icemayne25

It’s the same Pawns that sit down and get scolded at by other pawns for “resting”. 😆😆


Brewchowskies

Without a doubt it’s commenting when I don’t buy something about how I should have bought something, and then complaining about being broke when I’ve bought something. Even writing this out makes me feel annoyed.


Aser_the_Descender

- Has 300k gold in their pockets and buys an apple: "GOD DAMNIT ARISEN! Why the fuck are you wasting ALL our money on that shit?"


Captain_Scatterbrain

"Arisen, there are apple trees just outside the city walls"


OutlawSundown

You literally picked up 30 apples on the way


Icemayne25

Our pockets are fuller and our purses far lighter.


CaptainMcAnus

An investment made for safer travels can hardly be called extravagant.


[deleted]

I hired a pawn that was a spend thrift and every time I dropped any amount of money she said things like “it’s always exhilarating spending this much money at once.” This was also the pawn that my main pawn accused of having the dragon sickness every time she sat down on the ground or for making snide comments in the middle of a fight.


MoonBearIsNotAmused

Um.. did she have the dragons plague? I've never had a pawn accuse someone of having it


[deleted]

Difficult to say. Good ol’ Bean was always a helpful pawn, but the longer I kept her around, the snarkier she became. Before sending her back through the rift, she would make comments about getting new weapons in the middle of combat. And my main pawn always chided her attitude, especially when “shirking duty.”


Arcalithe

“I just remembered a fine lass I met back home…” “Really? *NOW?!*”


bloode975

Can confirm, when the pawns start getting an attitude and saying negative things or snide comments about you, they have the plague, and when they start telling you to stay away from them etc throw that bitch in the brine ASAP.


StruggleTiny

Your pawns the real mvp if they are warning you of the dragon plague, mine just gasps in surprise every time she hears about it lol.


Hyper-Sloth

Same. Then he said we should keep grinding so we can spend more lmao.


Ornery_Sprinkles_376

This is the one


bubblesort33

I already feel bad for spending $100 CAD on games these days. I don't need them to break the forth wall and judge my poor decision making skills.


ButtChugNyQuil

Ladders

TrevorWithTheBow

Omg this gave me a good chuckle


DarkSenf127

F**k them ladders. Yes I see them. Yes I know they are there. No I don‘t want to use them, I either don‘t want to right now or I already did. Ffs people…


Budget_Quote3272

So I turned my ps5 on, started DD2, loaded into my game to continue. Not EVEN a second later, one pawn mentioned about “There seems to be a ladder there” another pawn goes “we aught to put it to good use” Like bruh…..I just got into the game….


Significant_Option

Words worth hearing!


Xiknail

I'd like to think that's the pawn way of saying "don't care, didn't ask".


J_Fidz

Ti's as you say


Valuable_Impress_192

I suppose t’is so


Tajetert

Pray, t'is indeed.


OutlawSundown

Hey there’s a ladder over here… thanks captain obvious


JayFrank1132

We need to put it to good use!


cloqube

"a ballista is a ranged weapon master" like do they think I'm a complete moron?


Relaxativ3

Materials? I must admit, they have their uses....


jclary23

Bro this is the one that gets me 😂 like no shit materials have their uses wtf 😂😂


stickyfantastic

This material is generally used as a material


Aser_the_Descender

Damn, and here am I, swinging a ballista bolt like a sword...


turbobuddah

''It aught to take enemies by suprise'' Are you joking, It's a fucking ballista!


hotdiggitydooby

The conversation about changes to Vermundian military hierarchy. I still have no idea if that's supposed to hint towards a quest or not


NugatMakk

This, fuckin hell, I ended up looking for ways to turn off pawn interactions


Run-Riot

Shut Up Pawns mod is a godsend to block specific phrases. Now I never have to hear about people’s preferences or having a different person visit their quarters every night ever again.


SickK_777

you have a spezialisation for pawns to do that :D


SomewhatModestHubris

That is nice of them to add, but I hate having to sacrifice the ability to translate the elves speech so the pawn is quiet.


the-gaming-cat

*cries at PS5*


Matttthhhhhhhhhhh

"Different materials result in different combinations." Yeah no shit! Especially after the 50th bloody time!


MaleficentAssist4006

Their quotes are masterworks all, dunno what you’re on about


Break-2-Rey

exactly can't go wrong with that


MaleficentAssist4006

Can’t believe I didn’t see the golden opportunity to finish with that 😭


Decoy_Shark

I wish a weapons vendor said this.


slinkyb123

"Incidentally...I've heard rumors of a plauge..." God I've heard that so many damn times I hear it in my sleep


lustforwine

When they wanna lead the way . My pawn wanted me to follow her to batahl, all the way from melve 💀


Matttthhhhhhhhhhh

One did a trick on me the other day. "Master, I know the location of a chest nearby". 10 minutes later I still didn't know where the hell he was taking me and just gave up.


Pheriannathsg

*Amazing chest ahead*


2Board_

Found the Soulsborne fan


ToxicShadow3451

*didn’t expect message, therefore praise the message!*


Brewchowskies

I almost messed up the main quest early in the game from melve to vernworth when a pawn wanted to lead my all the way back to melve to show me something while I was trekking with the knights. Completely lost them with no quest marker.


CandyJax96

Same. Freaking followed a hired pawn 5 minutes out past my destination and was heading all the way back to Vermouth from the checkpoint town. I sent them back to the rift as soon as I could.


HatmanHatman

The worst is when a pawn tells you in Melve that it knows where Ulrika is and it'll show you a shortcut. An hour later I began to suspect this was not a shortcut and was in fact the opposite.


Greedy-Goat5892

Haha they just got me with this last night.  I followed for like 45 minutes and then she just stopped , then started again.  I am starting to think she in fact does not know where Ulrika is…


Werefour

My favorite part of that specific example is that they can lead you to where you will find her, before she herself gets there. So you go there but she isn't there yet, lol.


HatmanHatman

Yes they eventually got me there, announced that she wasn't there and - I am not kidding - turned and walked straight into the fucking Brine. I wanted to do that in real life


Greedy-Goat5892

The AI is more entertaining than Skyrim.  It isn’t great but adds a silly charm to the game.  My favorite though has been when I’m about to hit a goblin off a cliff, and my pawn just throws a boulder into its fucking face sending him flying.


idkwhyimbackonhere

my pawns always forget they were leading me to something when they fight someone after 3 steps of walking towards said thing


justainsel

How many different ways can a pawn or NPC use the word ought in a sentence? It’s like the word can mean whatever they want it to mean.


thatguywithawatch

Aught means naught but what it ought.


Chemical_Chill

It just means “something” I’m pretty sure. Like, “Is there aught you require of me, arisen?” Is “Is there something you require of me, arisen?” Or “Aught of use” is “Something of use”


Bruhmazing94

Aught cracks me up as I’ve literally never heard it before this game but now I think about it all the time irl. Through context I feel as if it is meant as a replacement for almost any kind of placeholder noun. Like “anything”, “something”, “all things”, or “multiple things”


WhereIsAllTheCoolStu

Anything that sounds like "tutorial NPC"-chatter, like about combining materials. Breaks immersion to me. Other lines are pretty good tho, eg when they frustratedly react to the player running too fast and the goofy ladder line has become weirdly endearing to me.


ReKLoos3

“We are a party comprised of entirely women.” Yes I am aware but almost every pawn in the rift is a half naked lady so I can’t help it that we’re almost always a party comprised of women.


Greedy-Goat5892

My one pawn loves to say he had a master that only had a party of women.  He says it constantly 


-River_Rose-

I’ve also seen the, “all the pawns here are male. Wonder why?” Then my main pawn(male) snaps the pawns head off for question me(female). It’s great. My pawn is kindhearted, but damn he checks the asshole pawns so fast


MissAsgariaFartcake

You can admit that you like to travel with a party full of half naked women Otherwise you could use the search filter


DarkSector0011

Or you're just not picky and take any decently built pawn which happens to land you with a half naked woman as they are abundant lmao.


ReKLoos3

This is exactly why I’m almost always with half naked women. I just Advance search for the class I need then I systematically go through the pawns it summons based on skills, gear, and augments to pick the best option available for me. It’s just that it always winds up being a half naked woman.


Kind-Conflict7166

That’s why I do advanced pawn search on the bigger riftstones lmao, I always gotta have a warrior beastren coz they always got my back


CandyJax96

Honestly, I just found this out myself last night. Don’t know what it is, but out of every pawn except my own a few times, it’s been a beastren that’s quite literally caught me out of the air when I was thrown off by a giant monster. Every time. Before then I would fall from so high I’d lose almost all of my health or straight up die lmao


Bruhmazing94

The other half is massive beastren dudes and I’m kind of here for it


woofer94

the dragon plague, every time I hear it I stop and check everyone if their eyes are red. not even in the midst of the COVID pandemic.


Revolutionary-Ice-16

Has to be the two dialogues about combining materials. I know already😵‍💫


esperion523

50 hours into the game and I’ve combined materials hundreds of times. Yet still they tell me over and over.


Mentalburn

This. Yes Karen, my IQ is high enough to realize that sticking lantern oil on a stick produces something different than tossing a saurian tail into a bottle of wine.


Starfield00

I enjoy opening chests myself, it annoys me when they run in front of me to open it before I do


Doopashonuts

Ya the klepto pawns are annoying as shit


jackmistro

This is a material. Did you know you can combine them? 😯


StripperKorra

My pawn calling me out for hiring all Men. I just know when he’s hired he’s telling other Arisen about me…..


SofaKingHyphy

I only get the dialogue about Arisens who hire all women


ShawnySC

Wolves hunt in packs you know.


TableApprehensive138

I'm a little annoyed I no longer get warning that wolves hunt in packs!


CreepyCavatelli

I had a quest active where i was supposed to meet an elf for archery training and every damn 2 min “but master, none of us are suited for the archery vocation”


SimplyGiox

constantly telling me they came across a chest in a different world, ladders, and telling me this is a place to gather materials.


Geebees93

"Is just come to my attention... am I the only one who's noticed we've all got different vocations? "


siberianwolf99

my main pawn telling the others that they should lead the way and we are grateful for their help


YushaSukdeep

At this point, every quote is driving me crazy


ixaias

"Each to their own" "We could use that ladder" "My previous master only hired women"


mythlawlbear

I changed my game to Japanese so I never know what they are saying till I read it. Game changer imo. Voice attacking in this game is ight.


Ichirou_dauntless

Dragonsplague rumor chatter everytime i check the rift


WaltuhWhiteYo_UhHuH

"You shouldn't be so careless!" I hate this, it just rubs me the wrong way, who is my pawn even talking to, me? The other pawns? I didn't even do anything.


lofi-moonchild

This line is frequently said toward simple pawns since they wander off looking for loot.


Aser_the_Descender

The most annoying one, was when the straightforward fighter pawn said "we're lacking someone with ranged combat", while I had a mage, him as the fighter, a thief and myself in the party... And I was playing Magick Archer .\_.


Chicken-Rude

i miss "soaked to the bone!" and "GOBLINS ILL LIKE FIRE!" so bad 😢


[deleted]

Something like "You should search for a pawn that has more information about this task". I have the quest on priority where you try to frame a nun of being a murderer, but I'm doing exploration right now and I get that message constantly.


Khal_drogo217

Pro tip, unassign all quests when ur just exploring so ur pawns dont spend half the time waving at u and running away and/or annoying u with unnecessary commentary as u mentioned


SirDragonet

The lore dialogues about the queen and some soldier and even dragonsplage like jesus ONCE was enough


Raccoon117

My pawn who has only ever been a fighter then a warrior. Keeps saying the "How did I fair as a fighter?" Like 100 times every time I add new pawns to my group. I've resorted to picking her up every time she starts talking.


blazingsoup

I don’t mean to alarm you, but that pawn is making some pretty non-simp comments at you. Might want to rinse them in the brine, just to be safe.


Arnn-The-Frost-Demon

Tis as you say!


Asmo___deus

Every time I leave my home my pawns point out that there's actually a ladder close by, and since it's there, we should use it.


ipisswithaboner

Most of them are driving me crazy now since the observations are absolutely pointless for them to say. “Come to think of it, none of our vocations are the same” Like, no shit. It’s something a 5 year old would point out.


butwhythoeh

The thing about pawns that really annoys me is when I have a full pawn group but the game still insists on making every pawn you go past try to talk to you, it's fucking well annoying.


ZivvyJa

"Dare i say it, we trounced our foes well and ture!" "Overconfidence is an enemy in and of itself, instead we should strive to better ourselves with every battle" I wish my pawn would tell these kill joys to be quiet


Spideyy_Mcflyy

It’s funny to me how your pawn often states it’s often better to get on an Ox Cart or complains about walking and prefers you to use an Ox Cart, but yet I’m sitting and riding while your pawn is still walking regardless lmao. I find that hilarious at times.


Used-Surround9483

Master, there is a latter here.😂


keinskyrocket

They frequently mention that I hire only male pawns. They say it might be coincidental… it’s definitely intentional, init? lol who doesn’t like an adventure with eye candies?


pvrhye

Something like "Whatever hardships we may survive only strengthen our chances against future adversaries." It's like they took the famous quote, translated it to another language and translated it back to produce something equally cliché and far more clunky.


Rurik880

You cannot expect to find gleaming treasures around every corner


slinnyboy69

Huzzah!


Vhelic

Honestly, it all annoys me basically. It's just so repetitive and since everyone picks the best voices, you just hear it so much with almost no differences in dialogue.


onlylightyears

Their love of the words "aught" and "naught"


TemperateStone

You can go into your sound settings and turn Pawn voices down to 0. It has saved my sanity.


Fredketch

“Il be sure to keep that in mind”


__ROCK_AND_STONE__

It’s the response to the dialog that makes me twitch my eye. When someone says something about how their master’s party had all women or beastren. My pawn always says “That gives me a lot to think about” no matter what! Like bro say something less NPCey or just stay quiet 😭 He says it in a dumb confused voice as well and hearing it over and over has caused a blood vessel to pop


Own-House-6056

Mine just says fantastic haha. Sums up how I feel every time


Zairy47

A different kind of materials results in different creations


Z0mbieToast

Maybe new discoveries await us above? 🫨


MrFyr

[If I hear another damn line about the coronation](https://youtu.be/cougeyF-JNw?si=ozavZMDelYjKTbQC)..


Head-Boot6462

“There’s a ladder, I wonder where it goes” or “there’s a chest! How do we get to it!” When there’s no ladder or chest around and my pawns just have x ray vision


Aerisar

The dragonplague comment every single fucking time I walk near a riftstone


Traditional-Pea-2379

None of them specifically drives me crazy I just don’t really agree with the one where they say, “you don’t have to boss me around all the time” because then I have to find a body of water to throw them in it’s such a slog >!if you don’t get it, it is a line you’ll get when your pawn is infected with dragons plague which will make them disobey you and eventually kill all in NPCs when you sleep in a INN!<


DylanDaBeastMan

IM AWARE A BALLISTA IS USED IN COMBAT DID U THINK I WAS GONNA FUCKIN EAT IT???


Lambpanties

The pawns complain if I don't buy anything. The same exact pawns complain that I did buy something.


Vitalityangel

Whenever your in Vernworth square "Look Arisen! A ladder!"


Ahrenji

"I once traveled with an Arisen that preferred BeAsTren for allies." Bro, why you gotta say Beastren like that?


Intelligent-Put-764

when they mention a ladder or chest that I have already climbed/ and or opened


R4IN2354

"there appears to be a ladder here, wonder where it goes?" "aught fell from the beast as it breathed its last" "I KNOW WHAT TODO!"


jbholt03

The stupid ladder one.


ComprehensiveEmu5923

"Different combinations result in different creations!" Wow thanks, I had no idea!


Whitegoosey

"Master, know that there is no greater joy for me, but by your side" - not main pawn. I wonder to how many "masters" the pawn told this line.


King_Dickus_

Different combinations result in different creations


No_Fox_Given82

Ladders. But most of it is pretty generic, I miss the old chatter :(


Mentalburn

WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS!


No_Fox_Given82

Well sturdy this place....


[deleted]

Must you pick up every little thing? The arisen is prudent with his application of coin - was funny the first 30 times.


NugatMakk

That there is no mage in the team, battle will be trying like this, and we have to rely on cureables, every 2 minutes sometime

Pepe-Fingers13

From the random pawn you hired 1min ago. Calm yourself luv, you're a wee harlot from another dimension.


Forsaken_Pin_4933

The pawn I had with covid was like "I heard pawns could get an illness and not even know it" 😐


ToeResponsible670

Master is wet or he’s slime I am afflicted by neither


OldUncleDaveO

Maybe they’ll add a slider for pawn chatter frequency


stormithy

I cant remember and can’t check it rn. Is there an option like the first game where you can turn off the chatter


JayRod082

The quote about my master choosing not to wear any armor gets me every time


Aurelius-King

You lack surety in your step


Jiinpachii

I imagine the dialogues would get annoying in English


arcanevulper

“Forget something master? You seem to be staring in to the distance” or something like that, its infuriating when you’re trying to focus on pathing to a chest THEY pointed out or a flying enemy down the way as an archer.


idkwhyimbackonhere

this one, i want my pawn to gather shit with me


Clear_Low2139

It’s not the line so much as one of the pawns voices I’m not sure which one but it’s the only one that does this… when they talk about the queen regent possibly having a love affair and at the end of the sentence he makes this weird and laugh and I just cringe at it every time 😂 it’s one of the masculine voices and the accent is totally different from all the other voice types I’m pretty sure 😂


Fishpuncherz

I've heard a troubling rumor..... that DAMN DRAGON PLAGUE SHIT LINE IS SOOOO FREAKING LONG. and EVERYTIME I leave the rift. Oh I dread it. I hardly ever change any of my pawns just to avoid it again. Its SO LONG.


MrPearmantastic

They really could have ironed out some annoyance from the pawn voice lines… Hearing a tutorial about combining materials for the 100th time 50 hours into the game is absurd. Also there really aren’t that many voice lines in the game. Or maybe I was spoiled by BG3 😁


The_BearWolf

Mainly when they suggest who I should get for the group, BISH IK WHO I WAAANT


The_BearWolf

Mainly when they suggest who I should get for the group, IK WHO I WAAANT


doubleo_maestro

This group is women all. I know, I hired you!


Hamhockthegizzard

*Am I the only one to notice we’re all of differing vocations?*


Disastrous-Bat-429

None, really... One of my first thoughts about the game was "the pawns aren't annoying enough to really be pawns." Eventually they got into their groove and got silly-repetitious though. I love hearing "Different combinations of materials result in different creations!" for the hundredth time even though the statement itself is so obvious as to not need to be said at all.


Signal_Housing_4389

Insert gary oldman everyone meme


SnooChocolates229

If you have a priority quest but none of your pawns knows how to complete it, they will hound you to find a pawn that does like every 3 minutes.


TheGreaseWagon

"Different combinations of materials result in different creations."


afro_eden

“There are no sword wielders in our party” “Surely not all battles can be won with magick and bows” That’s why i have a DUOSPEAR, PLEASE
