Do Dialogue Choices Matter?

Only For Certain Quests

Maribel Dialogue Choice

Most of the dialogue choices in the game result in the same outcome regardless of your choice, with the exception of a few choices within certain quests.

Choices that have consequences, however only affect the specific quest, and does not factor into any sort of alignment or alternate ending as you progress the game.

Important Choices Require Confirmation

Patrick Choice Confirmation

When encountering Dialogue Choices that affect certain quests, the game will ask you for confirmation after making your initial choice, allowing you to lock in your choice or reconsider.

Finding prompts like these indicate that this choice will affect something in the quest, usually leading to a different questline conclusion and reward.

List of Choices That Matter
