This applies to the vast majority of the game, including main quests, character stories, and side interactions.

Celsus' Recruitment

Celsus Recruitment
When asked “Is faith important to you?” and “Why do you want to hire Celsus”, feel free to select any choice.

Choosing one over the other will not lock you out from recruiting him as he will join your party regardless of what you answer.

Some dialogue choices are mandatory to choose for story progression. If you choose the option that does not progress the story, the game will give you the chance to correct it. This is typically done through asking you the same question, or asking you if you are sure of your choice.

Saoirse's Recruitment

  1. Lightly as a kingfisher
  2. Gaily as a baleful bloom
  3. Fiercely as a fungold

During Saoirse's recruitment, you will be prompted on how to perform, choose the options above in order. If performed correctly, Saoirse will join your party. Otherwise, you can try again and perform the same moves in case you missed a step.

One Late-Game Choice Can Lead to the Bad Ending

Utopia

During The Bestower of All chapter, when speaking to Sazantos in Wishvale, you are given the option to remain in his Utopia. Choosing Yes, then confirming the decision a second time, will immediately trigger the Bad Ending.
