When players meet these NPCs, they are going to decide how they handle some of the conversations because there’s the option to lie outright to them or tell them the truth. A player’s decision on how they handle a particular NPC is going to the overall story, along with what happens to that NPC.
If a player gets assists specific NPCs enough, the companion may join the player on their overall quest as a companion. Players can have multiple companions with them. These companions are going to have unique traits, talents, and abilities, making them stand out compared to the other choices players can choose.
