    Can someone give me an example of a line an NPC follower uses when entering the Ogre Cave map? I am having trouble identifying the exact line.

    While someone who really remember answers, you could look for Otis, he says something like "beware i sense danger"...also, Zaxis wonders at every location, except in the Deklo groove (he shakes at the trees) and i think that he don't like the cave neither, so maybe you could look for him ...are the dialogues separated for character?

    I really don't remember well, not much of a help sorry :( :blush:
    damn, i walked to every location and NPC just to see what they had to say...

    Meleny says something like "I wonder who lives here" or "These caves look dark". It's odd how she seems to get picked to speak more often than anyone else when I play.

    Thanks Zeb, I thought it was that one.

    There seems to be a sort of pecking order among the NPCs as to who gets to speak - Meleney must be high up. Also, she has a lot more dialogue than most: can't speak if ya ain't got nuffin' to say.

    True about amount of dialogue. I usually have Meleny, Fru and Elmo in party and it is almost always Meleny who speaks. Zaxis on occasions trumps her but it does seem like there's a distinct hierarchy going on with a little bit of randomness (maybe?).

    In vanilla, Otis says, "Watch out! I see tracks of several ogres!"

    Be aware that I changed these lines for several NPCs so they fit in with the orc expansion.

    THREADROMANCY! Bwahahaha!! :evil_laug

    There are lines in the NPCs dialogue files for change-of-map comments when they first arrive in each of the Nodes. Does anyone remember ever hearing these?

    "Be on your guard. There are fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world."

    when you enter the room where you get the frostbrand, zaxis sings, "It's getting hot in here."

    Thats the Fire Temple...

    Anyone else? "No, my NPCs never say a word" is also an acceptable answer... :shrug:

    I hate myself for this, as i've changed lots of NpCs just to do exactly that, to hear what they say...but aside of the mentioned (Otis, Zaxis, Fruella, or Elmo) i don't remember...:Being_a_s

    I've played a lot with Taki, and i got the impression that it says something when you re-enter the node...and when you dismissit there too or refuse to take him out of there...
    mmmh, i could try, just consoling the teleporting box...

    I don't remember Serena saying anything. She went away along with Zaxis when i had the Countess Tillahi reward encounter...:suprised:

    Oddly enough, i think that i've never heard meleny speak, just whining about weight or when it dies.
