Sylvie Dialogue changes
Added 2025-12-27 04:31:04 +0000 UTCAfter reading feedback from various places, I've seen quite a lot of people don't really like Sylvie and her personality. I was obviously going for a tsundere type girl but upon rereading some of her earlier dialogue, I might have gone overboard on some of her attitude problems.
That's why I'm considering rewriting some earlier stuff slightly to make her slightly warmer, but wanted to put the question to you guys first to get a gauge of how much I should tweak. Let me know through the poll what you all think.

Im going out on a limb and saying that the dialog is probably going to be lightened up and is probably too harsh for some people. Personally I believe the dialog is fine as there is some context to why she is acting this way. That might just be me, but lightening the tail end of her fist quest to show her understanding that the MC isn't her enemy might play out better. And the whole facade could be slowly chipped away starting with the MC and moving on towards fellow party members. I like the idea of there being no grudge like an Elven grudge since they live so long. Lets say that a massacre happened 200 years ago. A human would say that's so long ago we should work towards the future, but an Elf would look at that same Massacre and rightfully hold a grudge or be especially suspicious of humanities good will, becausethey lived through those times. In the case of a game that has more comedic moments, maybe leaning into elfs being petty would be a better angle. Like they 'build a road 50 years ago and we had to be relocated' or 'they cut down almost the entire forest to build that ugly castle'. Concepts like eminent domain for elves an untapped comedic gold, imo

2025-12-27 19:35:04 +0000 UTCI don't quite remember why she acts the way she does besides "elf superiority". But I like her and see her as one of the more fun characters to write for since there's a clear character arc there, of her evolvings, openning up, and learning to be more kind to humans via the protagonist
