The Vampires got their name from the fact that they resided in metro and sewer tunnels underground, rarely leaving to visit the surface. It’s most likely that their “Scouts'' were the members that they sent to the surface to scavenge supplies. The maze-like tunnels made a safe home for them, where they established living spaces and a Cult Hall. The Vampires were considered a cult, although it’s not known what their beliefs or rules were. Like most other factions, they had a hate for Peacekeepers. Even capturing and holding Peacekeeper soldiers in the underground tunnels.

The Vampires storyline doesn’t have much left of it, but there are basic events known based on prefabs that were left in the files. Aiden would be captured by the Vampires, possibly while exploring the entrance to their sewer tunnels. Aiden willingly helps them with tasks, such as fixing a water pump and delivering antizin. This gains the current Vampire leader's trust, and he discusses the future of the Vampires with him. And about how Aiden is becoming adept at the tasks they give him. Eventually, the potential new Vampire leader begins arguing with the old leader, and because Aiden has gained reputation he is able to intervene. The Player would decide who becomes the new Vampire leader.

During development in 2019, The Smokers resided in R01 (Old Villedor). There are also mentions in a story draft from possibly around 2019-2020 mentioning them as a faction in R06 (The Citadel region.) It’s possible that Techland moved their location, or they resided in both of these regions. Leftover prefabs feature a “village”, which is only a classical building now. It’s likely that The Smokers’ hub (which has mentions in other prefabs) was an area of classical buildings converted into a livable space, similar to the Scavenger Island. It’s unknown what The Smoker’s ideals were, who their leader was or how they acted.

To progress through the story, the player had to gain reputation with The Smokers by completing tasks for them and taking over a Greenhouse belonging to another faction. The Greenhouse was a leisure center converted into a farming area after The Fall.

Before 2020, The Scavengers were the second main faction in the game. With the same power status as Peacekeepers. The Scavs were a capitalist faction that held internal businesses and jobs. Juan was the chief of this faction, and therefore had a more extensive involvement in the pre-2020 version of the game’s story. The faction had multiple ranks: Overseer, Specialist, Guard, Worker. Overseers were the rich owners of businesses that controlled workers. Specialists were runners and heavy soldiers. Guards defended hubs. And Workers constructed buildings.

The Scavengers believed that there was no point in trying to deal with the infected as there were too many of them, so instead they chose to accumulate as much wealth and material as possible and establish a safe haven. This directly goes against The Peacekeeper’s, who believe that the infection needs to be wiped out. In order to accumulate this wealth, Scavengers often release infected out of dark zones. This increased the infected population, leading The Scavs to be hated by Peacekeepers.

There are hundreds of prefabs left in the files involving the Scavengers, showing outposts, parts of their main hub, a version of the Elyseum prison that belonged to them, fuel production setups, unique Scavenger water collectors, and many other things.

They are also included in the Dying Light 2 artbook, but the text was removed from their page. Concept art of one of their hubs can also be seen in other pages.

A faction that lived under a Monarchy, their main hub being seated on the Triumphal Arch in Elyseum. The Nomads had a royal family, by the time Aiden enters the city, the previous Nomad King has died. And his two sons, Saban and Django are fighting over who gets to become the next king. Their mother, Carmen, has decided that Saban will be the next king, and the rest of the Nomads heavily oppose this decision. Aiden is hired by Saban to win a race against Django’s men, in exchange Aiden is given access to GRE terminals. Django’s ex-fiance, Mirriam, runs away. And Aiden has to go and save her. Depending on choices, either Saban or Django would die, which would affect the fate of the entire Nomad’s faction. This faction only became a thing in the 2020 version of the story.

The whole Nomad’s questline, called “Archers”, is still present in the files. With all dialogue and objective files being present but unused.

The entire Archers questline, along with the Blood Diamonds questline (Which the Nomads are involved in) can be found below in Chapter 3.

A bandit faction residing in Elyseum, who believed that the only way to salvation was getting out of your head. They grew psychoactive plants, and the player could buy these to buff their abilities.

They are described in detail in old press kits for the game, and their models could be seen up close in E3 2018 trailers.

The Vikings were a faction residing in the Central Loop. They used to be involved in the Delayed Delivery quest, and an old version of the Revolution quest.

Some prefabs still exist for basic hub logic for them, with a safe area, player bed/stash, and a questboard.

We don’t know what their ideals, characters, or appearances were.

The Scrubs were the name of the Survivors living in the Bazaar in Old Villedor, led by Carl. They are sometimes called Scum in old files. The Scrubs wanted to use Aiden’s strength and ability to gain a foothold against the Peacekeepers in Old Villedor.

A group mentioned in an old story draft. Aiden was tasked with killing members/leaders of the group for the Scavengers or Peacekeepers. They resided in the prison in Elyseum, a landmark that the Peacekeepers and Scavengers wanted.

There are no other mentions of them in objectives or dialogue.

One of the main groups involved in the Blood Diamonds quest (with a minor mention in the Archers questline), the Divers were a group of people who swam in the toxic water of The Floodlands to search for Crystals. It is revealed in the Blood Diamonds quest that they actually killed people and sunk their bodies in the toxic water to make the Crystals. The leader of the group was a female Diver by the name of Svetlana.

A faction only mentioned in the “The Man With No Name” quest, Nameless was a faction literally called Nameless. Although files initially make you think it was only one person named “Nameless”, the prefabs for the quest and the Elyseum Military Base show that there were multiple Nameless members involved. It’s unclear what their ideals or attitudes were. The small bit of character we do know about them, is that they instruct Aiden to kill Bandits and cut out their eyes, then bring the eyes back to them in exchange for information. The only named character is Nameless Albert.

A group mentioned in a small group of prefabs for a Bandit Camp. The bandit camp seemed to be converted from a military camp. Prefabs indicate that they had different ranks:

Elite
Range
Guard
Commoner

A group mentioned in the “Deciding The Fate” quest, which took place in the Old Villedor section of the story. They had taken control of an Electrical Substation in the region, and Aiden is tasked with wiping them out and giving control of the Substation to The Scrubs/Bazaarians. Old files also imply that they had taken over a metro station in Old Villedor.

A group that only has a few mentions left of them. Similarly to The Smokers, they had a “Village”. Although The Hunters Village is only a single cube now, and has nothing left. They are mentioned in the Old Villedor section of the story, back when Carl played a more important part in the story.

The Ikars Group was a group that played an important role in the game's old story at around the halfway mark. Aiden would first encounter them during the cut Communication Center quest, where he finds one of the members trapped inside. In the Lend a Hand Get a Wing quest, Aiden helped them escape the Communication Center, and in return they gave him a ride to the Citadel in the groups’ Airship. Shortly after this, the group supplied Aiden with a paraglider to help him get around the city. During the Sunken City portion of the old story, Aiden would perform various tasks and jobs for them to gain reputation with them. The group was stationed at the Elyseum Pumping Station, where they tied their airship down.

The group was not large, only having around 3-4 members. Their names were Dedal, Ikars, Vanda, and possibly Yana.

The Watchers were a group of people that dedicated themselves to guarding the quarantine wall that surrounded The City. In the 2019 version of the prologue, they would be using searchlights to look for people attempting to climb the wall. The player had to avoid the lights while climbing. The Watchers would reappear at the Citadel in the game’s epilogue, it’s unclear why.

List of POSSIBLE factions:

Some groups/potential groups are mentioned in old files, but it’s unclear whether they were ever actually factions. These are usually groups that only have 1 mention anywhere in the files, or just don’t have enough information to form a conclusion about them.

Beavers:

A possible faction mentioned in the cut And Yet It Moves quest. One of the objectives for the quest refers to the Beavers plurally:

“I need to talk to Mantis…

...or give the goods to Beavers”

However, other objectives for the quest refer to only one “Beaver”:

“I must speak to Beaver”

In the prefabs for this quest, there is only one “Beaver” character. The only dialogue line left for this quest refers to multiple people living at the dam that the Beavers would have controlled:
“Mantis: You did well. now the question is what do we do with the people on the dam. We can exterminate them or absorb them. It's your choice.”

Mantis was a Scavenger Dispatcher. And the use of “people on the dam” makes me believe there were multiple Beavers.

So it’s possible that there was a group called Beavers, or just one character called Beaver. It’s not entirely clear.

Conspirators:

A group mentioned in the old Assasination quest. They wanted to help the player eliminate Aitor to weaken the Peacekeeper presence in Old Villedor. To do this, they assisted Aiden in stopping a Peacekeeper Convoy so that he could access and kill Aitor. The only named member of the group was a character called Adso, who isn’t mentioned anywhere else in the games files. It’s possible that they were a group of deserting Peacekeepers.

All dialogue and objective scripts for this version of the prologue have been removed from the files, but a prefab containing the entire old map with all of its logic still exists. This logic includes things like character names and positions, dialogue names (which gives hints of what the dialogue is about) and some action triggers. Using this, it is possible to piece together a timeline of events.

(Note: This part of the story was not split up into multiple quests, as the Epilogue was. But the main map prefab has it split up into multiple sections. This helps the story make more sense.)

Village:

Aiden awakes in the “Sanctuary” part of the Village (the area in safe zones where Aiden can sleep and access his stash.)

He begins walking with a character called Jessie. They enter the Village Canteen, where they see “Giuseppe” and an unnamed “CampDweller”. Jessie speaks with Giuseppe, who is making pizza. Aiden and Jessie exit the Canteen and enter a more open area of the Village where Aiden is greeted by other Villagers. He then returns to Jessie. Aiden and Jessie walk to “line_park” where Jessie speaks to “Pati” and Aiden is given a basic movement tutorial.

He is first shown how to crouch, then climb, then jump. Pati follows alongside the course as Aiden goes through it. Aiden is shown how to use “village_use_parkour_item” at “Exit_The_Lake”. I suspect that the parkour item is a winch/rope lift.

Aiden engages in some sort of “contest” with someone, it’s unclear who it is or what the contest is.

Aiden can encounter a character named “Dick” fishing in the lake.

Some of the Camp Dwellers are now blocking an entrance into the Canteen, and a couple of them leave the camp area. Aiden can have a discussion with “mother” around this point.

Aiden can approach the Village Chief, who is leaning on a balcony railing overlooking a crowd of Villagers.

Near the crowd are “Mom” and “Father” who are idling next to each other.

Aiden then approaches 3 children (Theo, Pati, and “Boy”), who are next to “Ed”. Ed is holding a machete, in combat with a group of thieves. There is a behaviourplace for Ed shortly after the thief encounter called “Ed_at_thiefs_judgement”, it is unclear what this means.

Aiden is given a short tutorial on how to heal using taps, and then enters a scene called “Village_Thieves”. In said scene, Aiden follows a thief/thieves through a warehouse, speaking to them multiple times throughout. It is unclear what happens, but Aiden can find the Village Chief now standing outside of the Warehouse.

Aiden goes further through the Village, further uphill. He engages in a conversation with “Pino”.

Aiden is then given a combat tutorial by “Bob” where Bob takes various combat stances and teaches Aiden how to counter them.

Aiden then approaches a campfire, where a group of children approach. After talking with people at the campfire, Aiden approaches and talks with Jessie again.

Aiden then approaches the Village gates, where he can talk with the guard at the gate. Aiden would then leave the Village.

Forest:

Aiden continues up into a forest section, encountering deer as he approaches. He comes across the “Hendersons” who have just hunted and killed a deer with an arrow. Aiden would begin talking to them, and could make various dialogue choices such as:

beg

fight

no_fight

walk_away

2 Thieves (possibly the ones from the Village) then approach behind Aiden. The thieves “Join_Combat”, and afterwards Aiden escapes.

Fox Glade:

Aiden enters a peaceful glade called Fox Glade. Where he searches for his Father. He eventually finds him. He speaks to his father when he finds him, but it is unclear what happens during this time.

Canyon:

Aiden traverses through a canyon. He is able to take 1 of 2 separate climbing paths through to reach a Firewatch tower at the top of the canyon. He climbs it and rides a zipline down from it.

Sawmill:

It is hard to tell where the Sawmill fits into the prologue story, as it is hidden underneath everything else and clearly not in the correct spot. Although the events of it are clearly important.

Aiden enters the Sawmill, and parkours through the inside of the building. He jumps to a monkeybar to get across a lethal gap, and then to another platform. It isn’t entirely clear how, but Aiden is bitten, most likely by a Viral. It appears as if, when he lands on the platform, it collapses and Aiden lands in a room with 4 Virals. Aiden leaves the Sawmill.

Dark Path Back:

Aiden travels down a short path through a dark forest and then a cliffside. The change of mood possibly being because Aiden is now infected. During the walk, Aiden encounters 5 biters.

Highway:

Aiden travels across a highway, and into a tunnel. Aiden picks up a flashlight from the ground. There is a large number of infected in the tunnel, and Aiden would most likely have to just run past them.

After Aiden escapes the tunnel, he would go back into the Forest, this time through a different path. He would have to do basic parkour to cross this path.

It appears as if Aiden would attempt to get into the camp again, but would not be allowed to enter. Possibly related to the “return_to_camp” dialogues. It is possible that this is where a scene would play out where Aiden is pushed away by guards of the camp, and the chief comes out and threatens Aiden with a knife.

Cutscene Bridge:

There is a detailed bridge part of the map, most likely where Aiden would have ended up after being denied access to the Village. Due to many missing meshes, and seemingly no characters or dialogue. It’s unclear what happens here. But Aiden somehow went from here to the City.

The Wall:

Presumably part of the same version of the prologue, Aiden had to scale one of the quarantine walls while avoiding search lights to enter The City.

Old Villedor:

This part of the old prologue is quite similar to retail’s section. Abdul (now Hakon) finds Aiden and takes him to his hideout to escape Waltz’s men who are searching for him in the Bazaar. He explains the conflict between the Peacekeepers and The Scrubs in Old Villedor, and explains that Aiden needs a biomarker to enter the Bazaar. He helps Aiden find a biomarker in the “Baptism By Light” quest, so that Aiden can enter the Bazaar.

An older version of the game's epilogue remains in prefabs and a few objective scripts. It’s likely that this version was from 2019 - 2020, as the Citadel was cut around 2020. This version featured a climax in faction conflict, resulting in an all out war.

The Epilogue was split into multiple quests, I am still discovering that certain quests may have been in the epilogue. For example, Mother may have been the final quest in the game.

Hunting:

Presumably where the epilogue would begin, this quest took place in the Central Train Station in Elyseum. (This may solidify Elyseum’s place as the third main region the player would access in the story, followed by the Citadel region.) Prefabs show that Aiden would enter the station, finding the dead bodies of a group of Nightrunners. He would follow the trails to search for Waltz, who he would find in a different part of the station. A boss fight would take place, and would end with Aiden capturing Waltz and taking him to the Peacekeepers Citadel.

I personally believe that the player could choose to let Waltz go, and Waltz would then be captured and taken to the Citadel by She-Wolf and her Nightrunners. As there is an oddly placed prefab showing “People of She-Wolf”, called “Nightrunners” in the Hunting quest prefab. This would make sense, as the Battle Of Three Armies has two paths, one where you would help the Colonel in rescuing Waltz.

OBJECTIVES:

Enter Main Metro Station

Look for trails

Search for Waltz

Chase Waltz

Capture Waltz

Take Waltz to castle

Revolution:

Revolution is still a quest in retail, but the retail version takes place in Old Villedor at an early point in the story. The older version of this quest would feature a boiling point between the factions' conflict, as a result of the capturing of Waltz.

The quest played off of player choices heavily, seemingly being influenced by the faction you side with.

Here is what I believe would play out based on the faction you side with:

Renegades:

If you saved The Colonel when he is attacked at the Pumping Station, you would help him afterwards by taking over the Elyseum Military Base with his Renegades. Since the player did not help the Peacekeepers here, they would not attack the Scavenger Hub. And Juan would be present in the Battle Of Three armies quest, having his Scavengers attack the Citadel. You would help The Colonel attack the Citadel too. This quest most likely resulted in the most chaos, as all 3 factions and their leaders are present at the Citadel for the battle.

Scavengers:

If you side with the Scavengers, you would (for an unknown reason) help the Scavengers take over the Opera. This would then lead to you assisting the Scavengers in attacking the Citadel. A lot of it is missing and it’s confusing.

Peacekeepers:

If you sided with the Peacekeepers, and possibly killed The Colonel, you would assist the Peacekeepers in attacking the Scavenger hub. Juan is slaughtered by a large mob of Peacekeepers, and the player can assist in this. The player would then go to the Citadel, and assist in defending it with the Peacekeepers. The Scavengers most likely do not attack the Citadel in this path, instead the player would defend it from Renegades who storm it. If the Colonel was left alive, the player would be the one to kill him in this path.

Vikings (?):

A part of this quest involved the Vikings. The Vikings were a cut faction in the Central Loop, and it’s unclear how or why they were involved in the quest. They are simply mentioned in old prefabs for the quest.

Negotiations:

Another main quest mentioned in the story draft, this one was also set in REG02 (Central Loop).

Some prefabs also mention this quest as being in REG06 (The Citadel District.) This quest seemingly took place before Battle Of Three Armies.

The prefabs also contain some removed dialogue names:

dlg_negotiations_beforecolonel
dlg_negotiations_beforepk

dlg_negotiations_fractions

dlg_negotiations_nightrunners

dlg_negotiations_pk

dlg_negotiations_scav

dlg_negotiations_scavcomplete

Battle of Three Armies:

Battle Of Three Armies featured an all out war between The Scavengers, Peacekeepers and Renegades, leading on from the initial Revolution. Prefabs for the quest show large groups of Scavenger and Peacekeeper AI battling each other.

The quest was split into two paths, based on the player's choices.

If the player had sided with the Colonel throughout the story, and chose to save him in the Revolution quest, the player would assist in attacking the Citadel and taking out the Scavengers and Peacekeepers battling inside.

The other path would involve the player helping defend the Citadel, and then killing the Colonel.

(There was another quest called “Castle Party” that involved the same concept. Although it seems like Castle Party was the quest that would play out if you sided with the Peacekeepers. The prefabs all indicate that it would involve defending the Citadel from Scavengers (Including Juan) and “Watchers”. The prefabs show a basic timeline of events, faction leaders arrive at the Citadel and try to negotiate. But battle breaks out, resulting in the Citadel gates being destroyed and enemies flooding inside.)

There is also an interesting prefab called “qst_battleofthreearmies_canteen.prefab”, it contains a dialogue name: “dlg_herolostanarm.” The player is often referred to in the files as “hero”, so in a strange course of events the player could have their arm chopped off at the Canteen.

OBJECTIVES (Split into two paths. Siding with the Colonel / Siding with the Peacekeepers.)

Talk with the Colonel

Attack the Citadel

Defeat the Peacekeepers

Defeat the Scavs

Randevous with the Colonel

Get away from The Citadel

Defend the Citadel

Kill the Colonel

Get away from The Citadel

DIALOGUE NAMES:

Castle Party:

Castle Party is a quest that seems to feature the Peacekeeper path of the epilogue. Although this still exists in the Battle Of Three Armies quest, it’s possible that at some point they had a separate quest for the Peacekeeper path. It features a battle with Juan, Rowe and his squad being killed in the attack, a large number of hostile Renegades. It also featured a group of “Saboteurs”, they were a squad of Scavengers who snuck into the Castle to give access to the Scavengers. They became trapped in the dark for too long and turned.

Dark Forest:

Prefabs indicate that after the carnage at the Citadel (c_castle_r06_quest_darkwoods_aftercarnage), Aiden would escape from the Citadel and head to Dark Forest. Possibly with his newly gained knowledge of where X-13 is. He may have gained this knowledge from whichever faction leader he sided with and helped at the Citadel. Aiden gets a ride in the airship from Ikars, who takes him from the Citadel towards X-13. The Airship is shot down, and crash lands in Dark Forest.

The objective script for the quest is very confusing, and makes references to a lot of things that are from an early point in the story we don’t have access to.

For reference:

Ikars: A cut group who owned a large airship, Aiden becomes friends with them.

The cube: The GRE key that Aiden owns.

Alpha Zombie: “Alpha Zombies” are mentioned a few times in retail dialogue, and are seemingly very rare special infected that aren’t well known about. (I believe that this specific Alpha Zombie may have had a mutation that was the key to finding a cure. Cut dialogue from the Haunted Hospital quest implies that Kyle Crane was the key to finding a cure. I believe this “Alpha Zombie” may have been him as the Nightunter. As Aiden’s main objective in this version of the story was to find a cure. For example: Talk with faction leaders to find out more about the location of the cure.)

These objectives seemingly show different choices. Such as releasing the Alpha Zombie or killing it. Killing Waltz may also be optional.

OBJECTIVES:

Get to X13.

[TEMP] Talk with Ikars.

Find the entrance to the X13.

Talk with Waltz.

Kill Waltz.

Follow Waltz.

Release the Alpha Zombie.

Watch the City burning.

Take the cube.

Talk with Mother.

Kill the Alpha Zombie.

[TEMP] Take the truck.

[TEMP] Take the anabolics.

Catacombs:

A quest that could be seen as an active quest in old dev clips from early 2020.

Unfortunately, there is no longer any objectives file for it, and any reference to “catacombs” in the game is referring to the catacombs under Villedor and not the quest itself.

Many prefabs still exist for these Catacombs, showing incredibly large sets of underground tunnels and sewers. The Catacombs under Old Villedor featured player tutorials on diving underwater and crouching. Dylan was present in the catacombs.

Catacombs was a quest that took place during the Prologue upon the player's arrival into Old Villedor, before being introduced to Hakon and the members of the Bazaar.

One dialogue name for the quest still exists, but they are removed now:

catacombs_gettingout

Waltz’s People:

A quest that could be seen in screenshots of the old quest menu. The objectives are never shown, and dialogue and objectives for the quest don’t exist in files either. Although the name of a dialogue file of the same name still exists:

storyteller_waltzpeople_dlg.prefab

This dialogue no longer exists.

It’s likely that the quest played out close to the beginning of the Old Villedor section. As old cut dialogue mentions that Waltz’s people are looking for “someone without a biomarker” (Aiden). This indicates that the quest is from after 2019.

Baptism By Light:

A quest that may have been part of the prologue of the game. It involved Abdul (Now Hakon). All that is left is one dialogue name:

dlg_baptismbylight_meetingabdul

Bazaar:

A quest that still has an objective file, it’s seemingly from an early point in development. As characters such as Hakon are still called Abdul, and The Scrubs are still mentioned (The Bazaar faction from 2019). It also most likely took place right at the beginning of the game, possibly during or shortly after the prologue.

OBJECTIVE:

Bazaar

[TEMP] Find out more about Scrubs

[TEMP] Talk with local medic

[TEMP] Talk with someone who's in charge here

[TEMP] Talk to the medic about Abdul

[TEMP] Take Abdul's backpack to his trailer

Help people around The Scrubs bazaar.

[TEMP] Pogadaj z Carlem (Talk to Carl)

Talk to Aitor about cultivated fields.

Talk to Lawan.

Some dialogue names for this quest also exist:

bazaar_gettingout

bazaar_helperatbar

bazaar_introduction

bazaar_mechanicatbar

bazaar_meetguard

bazaar_returningthewrench

bazaar_speaker

bazaar_thinker

bazaar_wrench

bazaar_generator

bazaar_bonfire

bazaar_gasoline

Right To Defend Yourself:

A quest that still has the main dialogue left, but all the other quests and dialogue for it were never made.

The quest’s objective file is called “The Inalienable Right To Defend Yourself”. This quest was most likely part of the main story, taking place in the Old Villedor section near the beginning of the game. Back when Carl was a more major character.

right_to_defend_yourself_factionsteam.sloc:

Jacques: Hey, hey! Stop right there! No sudden moves!

Bruce: Lenka! We got company!

Jacques: Why are you here? Answer!

Bruce: C’mon, we know why! He’s not on a fuckin’ stroll.

Jacques: If he came to take us out, he’d have stayed quiet.

Bruce: Maybe that was his plan, but he messed up. Just look, everything about him screams “I’m one of those bandits”!

PLAYER CHOICE: {Attack} / Bandits?

Player: You’re right. I’m here to take you out.

Bruce: What’d I say?!

Lenka! Get him!

[QUEST END]

Player: What bandits?

Jacques: He means those crazy fucks from the Bazaar. They could come storming in any minute.

Especially if they knew it was just the three of us in here–

Bruce: Gus, shut the fuck up!

Jacques: I’ll talk all I want. And you quit panicking! It’s obvious this guy’s no trouble. Might even be able to help.

Player: Last I checked, you’re the ones who hang those ‘bandits’ from lamp posts…

Bruce: Who do we hang? Who?! Terrorists, that’s fucking who! We came to give them water, dammit, to deliver meds... and they tried to kill us all!

Jacques: Don’t believe us, go to the main metro station, there you can see for yourself what we were trying to do.

Bruce: In all its glory.

PLAYER CHOICE: How can I help you? / I’ll leave you alone. / {Attack}

Player: Mentioned I could help with something.

Jacques: the faction members tell the player to talk to their leaders at the metro main station.

{INFO: THE NEXT QUEST IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED}

[QUEST END]

Player: I’ll leave you alone.

Bruce: Yeah, take a hike.

[QUEST END]

OBJECTIVES:

The factions sent their people to the nearby shopping center, where they keep watch over the second entrance to the metro tunnel.

Get rid of the factions outpost.

Report back to Carl with all the intel.

Meet factions that are staked out in the Metro.

Talk to the factions' leaders.

The second metro entrance is inside the nearby shopping center.

Open the mall's front door for Carl's people.

Investigate the factions' numbers in the mall.

Open the main door, so Carl's people can get inside.

Report back to Carl with all the intel.

Every Life Matters:

A quest from the Old Villedor portion of the story. It involved Aitor, and his desire to set up new fields (which is talked about in old prologue objectives.)

Sharpshooter:

A quest that took place in the main story, during the Old Villedor section. It involved Hakon. Some dialogue names exist for the quest, but that’s all:

sharpshooter_asking

sharpshooter_hideout

sharpshooter_jobdone

Devil’s Bridge:

A quest involving the Devil’s Bridge building, which can still be found in Old Villedor. This quest still has some audio files related to it, but the quest is not present in retail. Testmap and prefab names indicate that Techland may have planned to present this quest publicly at Gamescom to demonstrate choice and consequence. The player would decide which faction he would help.

Part of the main story, the quest was part of the Old Villedor section and took a detour from the main faction conflict with The Scrubs and The Peacekeepers.

If the player helps the Peacekeepers, Devil’s Bridge is destroyed which kills all the infected inside. But all the loot is lost.

If the player helps the Scavengers, Devil’s Bridge can be looted, but all the infected inside are pushed into the street. Which causes the infected population during the day to rise in that area.

Dialogue for agreeing to help the Peacekeepers still exists as generator test dialogue, same with dialogue for agreeing to help the Scavengers.

GeneratorTestTrio (Scavenger Route):

Alexandre: {laugh} Ha! Did I not say? Did I not say he'd come here? Pay up, pay up…

Jacques: 'Did I not say,' Jesus, give it a rest…

Alexandre: And did you not say he'd fall and break his ass? Or stay in the tower forever, like that peeker? {Alexandre:interest} {Jacques:annoyance} No, no, I saw his potential from a kilometer away. That takes talen–

Jacques: --takes luck. Dumb luck.

Johnson: {annoyance} And I say you can both shove these stupid bets up your... {acceptance} Just, shh. No one cares.

What about you - got anything to say, or just here to brood silently?

PLAYER CHOICE: What about YOU? / Got lots. / Looking for a job.

Player: And you? What're you doing here?

Johnson: {Alexandre:interest} We're sitting on our claim. Literally. The building below us is ours till we're done clearing it out. {Jacques:vigilance}

Alexandre: {distraction} Not only this building.

Johnson: True, we're gutting the whole district, really. Not many others willing to work in the south.

Player: You don't seem to be working too hard, to be honest.

Johnson: {Alexandre:anticipation} Oh, look, the foreman's arrived. There's no rush, the claim's ours, long as we sit tight. We can start looting once reinforcements arrive from Central.

Player: {Alexandre:interest} What about you? Just here to shoot the shit and make bets?

PLAYER CHOICE: Peeker in the tower? / Claim?

Player: Said something about a 'peeker' in the tower. What's that about?

Johnson: Once upon a time, firemen would rescue poor little kittens who climbed too high and got stuck.

Now it's Peacekeepers getting stuck and not a fireman to be found.

One of their kittens climbed up that tower three days ago, still hasn't climbed back down.

Player: Sitting on your claim' - what's that mean, exactly?

Johnson: It means a great deal, in terms of inter-faction relations. {with a slight wink, bit of an aside} And remember, those terms are the ONLY ones that matter. {end of aside} This place is important for us.

And we got here first, so, as per the mutual accords, everything inside is ours.

Player: Got lots. For starters, that the guy up in that tower isn't coming down. Ever.

Johnson: ...because?

Player: Because he's dead. Brutally murdered, to be precise.

Alexandre: Live by the sword…

Jacques: He was sitting atop a tower for days. How's that living by the sword? Living like a pigeon, more like.

Alexandre: You know what I mean. They are always picking fights, they should not be surprised when fights find them. I do not claim this is good. Just... life.

Johnson: Well, least now it's clear why the others just stay put, scratching their arses. They're waiting for a scout who will never report in…

Player: The others'? Who do you mean?

Johnson: The other peekers - Peacekeepers, I mean. Those lads who just adore uniforms, medals and barking orders.

They're hunkered down nearby. You see enough fortifications to stop a tank, that's them.

Alexandre: Though you will no doubt hear them before you see them…

Johnson: Subtlety is not their strong point.

Player: Looking for a job, maybe–

Johnson: We look like people who've got too much to do?

Alexandre: {anticipation} Hey, Johnson, what about... Satan's Bridge, perhaps he can take care of it, no?

Johnson: {anticipation} On his own?

Alexandre: Well... he made it up here on his own.

Johnson: Maybe, but peekers have been snooping around down there…

Alexandre: All the more reason, perhaps him they won't bother.

Johnson: Point taken. Listen, how familiar are you with yanking wire? And I don't mean your own... Running electric cables. That's what I mean. There's a building we need to get power to.

This whole circus is necessary because the place has heavy-duty anti-theft shades. Which, of course, are drawn shut.

Yet if we plug the building in, a push of a button and, open sesame. All the biters are free to take a stroll.

Player: Sure that's a good idea? Letting biters out into the street?

Johnson: {annoyance} Listen, that building was once a service garage. Meaning it's chock-full of tools, technical diagrams, maybe even petrol... So yes. I think procuring those supplies is an excellent idea.

PLAYER CHOICE: Understood. / What do I get out of it?

Player: Understood. I'll help.

Johnson: {default} {Jacques:default} Naturally, we'll show our gratitude. We're creative around here, so count on us coming up with something fun.

I'll keep an eye on you. Soon as you're on site and at work, I'll be waiting by our generator in the building next door.

Player: All clear, except one thing - what's in it for me?

Alexandre: {default} Right to the point, this one...{Jacques:neutral}

Johnson: {default} Back off, Alex. Would you do it for free? Didn't think so.{Jacques:default} It's a fair question, and I think I can give a fair answer: You'll get a pat on the back and... ten percent of the take.

GeneratorTestDuo (Peacekeeper Route):

Player: Know something that might interest you.

Manuel: {interest} Got our interest the moment you showed up out of nowhere. But go on.

Player: That tower? Ran into one of yours up there. He's not comin' down. {Aitor:surprise} Someone offed him.

Bruce: Now who the fuck would do that...? {annoyance} Sure it wasn't biters?

Player: Not their style.

Erin: {annoyance} We buyin' this? He coulda done it himself!

Bruce: If he killed Lars, he wouldn't come here to brag about it, would he? {interest}

Got a mission to accomplish. {interest}

Player: No shame asking for help. A quid pro quo and everyone wins.

Henrik: {vigilance} Your fucking call, Bruce, but why not give him the IED, send him off to Devil's Bridge?

Then we can finally torch that garage.

Player: Destroy a garage? Why?

Henrik: It's a darkroom, now. Crawling with biters. Whatever tools or supplies it has, they're no use if we're dead, so we gotta eliminate the threat. That's what matters most.

Bruce: Yeah, yeah, I know…

Henrik: Especially since the Rats could fuck it all up at any moment…

Player: Rats? Yeah, heard them talking about looting a place called Satan's Bridge. They just need to wire it up.{RANDOM_pk_man01:laugh}

Henrik: Satan's Bridge' - fucking morons…

Bruce: You didn't have to tell us that. Help us out with this, and I'll give you Lars' gear.

Erin: {anger} Fucked one way or the other. Without Lars, we're good and stuck.

PLAYER CHOICE: I'll help. / Why won't you leave?

Player: Seems we can help each other. Tell me exactly what I gotta do.

Bruce: {acceptance} We'll give you an IED. Go to Devil's Bridge and drop the payload there, in the basement.

Just make sure the building's full of biters. And nobody alive.

Henrik: {annoyance} Just don't expect a pot of gold for your trouble. {neutral}

Bruce: True, but pull this off and they'll welcome you in the Citadel with open arms.

Come back once it's in place, and we'll watch Devil's Bridge go to hell together. {neutral}

Blaze can hook you up with the explosives.

They go in before we do, they'll chase all the biters into the streets. All our work in the South, down the fuckin' drain.

Player: Why can't you leave?

Bruce: {surprise} Why? 'Cause everything's fucked, that's why! {interest} Ergh, I gotta cool off.

Henrik: In my opinion, he was keepin' his cool pretty admirably.

But truth is, we really are fucked. Rats let all the biters out of Devil's Bridge. Means we gotta clean this place all over again.

Bruce'll calm down soon. I recommend you talk to him again. Maybe you can help us.

Bruce: {acceptance} This mission's been short-handed from the start. Losin' Lars just puts us further up shit creek.

OBJECTIVES: (Scav Path / PK Path)

Devil's Bridge

Scavs want to get rid of the infected and loot the building

“devils_bridge_gamescom

_building.prefab”. The building had a different design back then, and a fully fledged interior.

Lots of meshes are missing now.

The names of dialogue for this quest still exist, unfortunately they are all removed:

devilsbridge_pk_problem

devilsbridge_pkafter

Right Into The Safezone:

A cut quest with only a few very basic cut lines of dialogue left. For reference, “Hank” is the old name for Cillian.

Right Into The Safezone Initial:

Oakland: [Oakland asks player to establish safezone]

Right Into The Safezone Overhear:

Oakland: [Player overhears Oakland talking to his henchmen about Hanks location]

Right Into The Safezone Card:

Oakland: [Oakland gives player the key card and asks him to retrieve valuables from safe downstairs]

Right Into The Safezone Treasure:

Oakland: [Oakland thaks player for delivering treasure and reveals Hanks location]

Fix Em Up:

Some dialogue names are still visible on old prefabs for this quest. Some of them do exist however, they give us a general idea of what would happen in the quest. It involved Oakland, from the Right Into The Safezone quest, and Hank.

DIALOGUE NAMES:

fixemup_medicice_crafted

fixemup_interrogation

fixemup_guard

fixemup_distraction

I am the master of life and death in this town!

A new sheriff has arrived!

This town is too small for both of ... err…

Hank: You are fucking terrible at this, aren't you?

Player: Prepare to meet your maker!

Hasta la vista, kids!

Hank: Oh god.

Connecting Dots:

Taking place in the Old Villedor part of the story, the quest would be found at the Bazaar. It involved a group of “Radicals” that the player had to eliminate using stealth. A prefab containing all characters involved shows that it involved Carl, Hank, Veronika, Hilda (Sophie), and a few other minor characters. This quest is likely from 2020.

Tip The Scale:

A quest that was possibly part of the main story. It took place in Old Villedor, and involved faction politics to some extent. All that is left is a couple of removed dialogue names:

dlg_tipthescale_factions_start

dlg_tipthescale_bazar_start

Blue Casket:

This quest may have played out close to the introduction of Scavengers. It was a main quest, and involved important Scavenger and Peacekeeper characters such as Johnson and Bruce. These characters featured heavily in other 2019 Old Villedor quests. Other notable characters are Alexandre, Henrik, and Jacques. Who were all seen in the 2019 quest “Devil’s Bridge”.

DIALOGUE NAMES:

dlg_bluecasket_scavs_firstcontact

dlg_bluecasket_scavs_firstassignment

dlg_bluecasket_pk_firstcontact

dlg_bluecasket_pk_firstassignment

dlg_bluecasket_metrostationstandoff

Calm Like a Bomb:

All that is left for this quest is one dialogue name, which is now removed from the files. It involved Charles, Johnson and Bruce. Characters featured in many other 2019 Old Villedor quests.

DIALOGUE NAMES:

dlg_calmlikeabomb_end

Take A Look Around:

All that is left is the name of two removed dialogues. It involved Johnson, Bruce and Charles. Johnson and Bruce are both notable characters, who both featured heavily in Old Villedor quests in 2019. Bruce was a Peacekeeper, Johnson was a Scavenger.

DIALOGUE NAMES:

dlg_tala_scavs_start

dlg_tala_scavs_end

Water Problem:

Another quest that could be seen in old quest menu screenshots, again no objectives are shown. There also aren’t any prefabs relating to the quest. It’s likely that the quest was part of the Old Villedor section. As that part of the story still involved the feud over the water tower between Peacekeepers and Bazaarians. This quest is likely from 2020.

Deciding The Fate:

An old quest with an objective script and a few prefabs left for it, which give us the names of removed dialogue. It was included in the game's main story. (The mention of a “trafostation” refers to an Electrical Substation. Trafostation was the name they used at an earlier point of development.) The quest was probably close to the end of the Old Villedor section of the story, and would influence what would happen to the faction leaders.

OBJECTIVES:

Deciding The Fate

Restore the power at the metro building.

[placeholder] Talk with people in trafostation

Eliminate guerillas watching over the substation.

Get to the control room.

The power is now in my hands. I must decide what to do with it.

Talk to factions' leaders.

[placeholder] Talk with Carl

Find a control room.

I should give the power to the factions.

I should give the power to the Bazaar.

Take the inhibitor.

Cut the power at the metro station.

REMOVED DIALOGUE NAMES:

decidingfate_abdulattrafostation

decidingthefate_bazaarside

decidingthefate_playingcards

Assasination:

The old Assasination quest took place at the end of the Old Villedor section. Aitor and Carl would both separately go into hiding, and the player would either assasination Aitor, Carl or spare both of them.

The only dialogue left for the quest shows the Aitor assasination path. Some removed dialogue names exist, and are for the Carl assasination path.

Carl’s Assasination:
Some random parts of it still exist as prefabs, and show that Carl would go into hiding inside a shop.

He had, for some reason, bought drugs from a drug dealer. He would escape the shop when Aiden arrives, but would presumably be hunted down by the player and killed if the player chose this.

Aitor’s Assasination:

The Peacekeepers are driving a convoy consisting of two trucks through Old Villedor, presumably to pick Aitor up from his hiding place as they know Aiden is coming. The player would follow the truck inside, possibly by hijacking it, take out the Peacekeeper guards and then kill Aitor.

assd_initiation:

Abdul: [Abdul says how exactly I can stop the convoy]

assd_saboteurs:

Adso: [The conspirators thank me and tell me to wait for the night, meanwhile they will tell Carl and Aitor about the meeting]

assa_talkinhideout:

Aitor: [we talk about me]

[placeholder to move the player on position]

PLAYER CHOICE: I decided to spare you / I kill you after hearing your rationale / That's enough, fight

DIALOGUE NAMES:

A Place To Call Home:

While A Place To Call Home is still a quest in retail, it is mentioned in the story draft from possibly 2019-2020. Old Objectives also exist for this version of the quest, it seems as if Aiden would arrive in a region other than the Central Loop. There are also mentions of removed dialogue files for the quest, which give a very very rough idea of what the quest may have contained:

aptch_devils_acre_start_dlg

aptch_electrican_start_dlg

aptch_elevator_dlg

aptch_entrance_region2_post_gpl

aptch_jardin_suspendu_start_dlg

aptch_kill_or_not_start_dlg

aptch_tag_start_dlg

OBJECTIVES:

A Place To Call Home

I should look for shelter in a Faction Hub, the closest are

Peacekeepers Citadel

Scavenger Island

Open Your Eyes:

Another main story quest mentioned in the story draft, this quest also took place in R02 (Central Loop) presumably shortly after Aiden arrives.

There are no prefabs relating to it.

Meeting The Leaders:

Another main story quest mentioned in the story draft, this quest also took place in R02 (Central Loop).

There are no prefabs directly relating to this quest.

The Prisoner:

Another main story quest mentioned in the story draft, this quest also took place in R02 (Central Loop).

There are many miscellaneous prefabs relating to “prisoner” but none of them seem to be directly related to this quest.

New World:

Another quest mentioned in the story draft, this one was also set in REG02 (Central Loop). There aren’t any prefabs related to it unfortunately.

Greenhouse:

A quest that took place in R02 (Central Loop) that was part of the main story. Aiden was tasked with going to the Greenhouse by The Smokers.

There are prefabs for Greenhouse switchers, indicating you could set it up to produce anabolic stimulants or biofuel. This is similar to the Greenhouse from old press kits, in which Scavengers would produce biofuel using a Greenhouse, or the Untainted would produce anabolic stimulants.

OBJECTIVES:

Greenhouse

Go to the greenhouse

The Darkness:

Another quest mentioned in the story draft, this one was also set in REG02 (Central Loop).

Juan Rainer:

A quest with a few references to it in prefabs. It involved Juan traveling to the Citadel and trying to steal documents from an office.

Two scenes are mentioned: “juanrainer_citadel” and “juanrainer_mattscene”

These scenes contain some removed dialogue names that give some insight into what the quest consisted of

DIALOGUE NAMES:

dlg_juanrainer_pks_office

dlg_juanrainer_papers

dlg_juanrainer_kovalsky

dlg_juanrainer_have_you_seen_kovalsky_01_gpl

Spy Game:

While Spy Game is still a quest in the retail game, some old unused dialogue for it demonstrates that the quest would involve Elyseum for a section of it. It would also involve the Nomads.

spygame_triumphal_arch_gpl.sloc:

I activated the antenna in the southern district.

Player: Okay, the antenna’s working.

Juan: Thank God! I knew you'd smarten up. Wait a sec.

After a moment, Juan starts talking again.

Juan: I was right.

The signal is weak, but I can clearly see it's coming from somewhere…

Can you go and check this place out?

Sarcastic.

Player: Sure. Just a leisurely stroll, really.

spygame_triumphal_arch_zone_gpl.sloc:

I reach the area specified by Juan.

Player: Juan?

The signal is indicating a location in the flooded district.

Juan: Fuck... but that's cut off! The train couldn't have gone any further, so it must be in a nearby tunnel.

Player: And... what's behind the chemicals?

Juan: Not what, but who. Nomads... they're an odd bunch. Isolated by choice.

Player: What would Matt want from them?

Juan: Could be anything... there's nothing the Nomads don't trade in.

They do business selling everything and do it with anyone…

Player: I see. Ok. I'll look for the train.

Juan: Get cracking. We almost have the son of a bitch.

Princess:

A quest mentioned in The Outpost objectives, although almost nothing is left of the quest now. All we have are two dialogue names:

princess_before_fight_dlg.prefab

princess_after_fight_dlg.prefab

From The Outpost objectives:

The Player needs to get to the prison and find a missing cube element in it. To do that, they have to co–operate with factions ("Opera House" or "Hive" Quests and "Princess" or "Quasimodo" accordingly). Hanging quest – ends through finishing other ones, it leads the Player to taking over the Prison.

Opera House:

A quest that strangely seemed separate from The Outpost, it is mentioned in The Outpost Objectives and only has one dialogue name left related to it:

operahouse_end_dlg.prefab

From The Outpost objectives:

The Player needs to get to the prison and find a missing cube element in it. To do that, they have to co–operate with factions ("Opera House" or "Hive" Quests and "Princess" or "Quasimodo" accordingly). Hanging quest – ends through finishing other ones, it leads the Player to taking over the Prison.

The Outpost:

A major cut questline that was repurposed into the first DLC for the game (Bloody Ties). The Outpost featured the same concept, the Opera house turned into a gladiator arena, with Astrid being one of the main characters. However, there are some key differences. Such as the character Quasimodo/Kurt being heavily involved.

Short synopsis: Aiden goes to Saint Paul's Cathedral in search of a GRE terminal. He finds Kurt/Quasimodo inside, who explains that he moved the GRE terminal to the Opera House. He explains that Astrid took over the Opera House from him, and captured his son Figaro. He says that if Aiden infiltrates the Opera House and short circuits the power, and defeats Astrid, Kurt will tell him the location of the GRE terminal. Aiden completes a challenge duel to gain access to the Opera House, and then becomes acquainted with Dave. Dave and BJ allow Aiden to compete in a proper duel in the Arena, after the duel he sees Astrid for the first time. Kurt contacts Aiden, and instructs him to short circuit the power in one control room. He does so, and then is told to go to the other and short circuit the power there. To enter the room, he must beat a wager with Hammer, the door guard. When Aiden gets access, he enters and activates Figaro, who turns out to just be a modified GRE machine that Kurt altered. Dave enters and reveals that he knows what Aiden is up to, Aiden kills Dave and his henchmen, then escapes. When Aiden finally battles Astrid, she reveals that Kurt was exiled for causing the deaths of 100 people because of Figaro. Aiden understands, and helps Astrid disable Figaro. Kurt arrives in the Arena, and Aiden almost kills him. Figaro reactivates temporarily, causing the infected to rush the Arena, injuring Kurt. After Aiden clears the infected, Guards come in and take Kurt away, Aiden gets to decide what happens to Kurt. If Aiden chooses to let Kurt live, Kurt tries to kill Astrid and everyone in the Opera, and Aiden has to defeat him.

After this, Astrid gives Aiden the location of the GRE terminal, and he goes and collects information from it.

OBJECTIVE: Find Quasimodo ['Hive']

OBJECTIVE: Check the Cathedral for GRE Terminal.

outpost_start_dlg.sloc:

I enter the room where I last saw Kurt. The dialogue begins at the door.

Quasimodo: Now what do you want?

Player: Don't be so happy to see me.

I was told there was a GRE terminal in here.

Quasimodo: There was. But I moved all the military equipment of value to the Opera House long ago.

But don't expect me to help you. You killed my Leto.

I interrupt him.

Player: I'm sorry. Tell me what you want... I'll give it to you.

Quasimodo: You're think everyone has a price, don't you?

After a while.

Quasimodo: Come. Let me show you something.

Player: Why did you try to kill me?!

Quasimodo: Why do you think? You broke into my home. Killed my Leto!

If you're gonna kill me, just get it over with, damn you!

I walk over. I give him my hand to get him to stand up.

Player: I won't hurt you. I promise.

Kurt looks at me for a long time. He stands up.

Same in both versions - Kurt starts, I follow him. He leads me to the window / balcony.

Incredibly agile, he goes almost to the top of the church tower. Really high. He is incredibly agile (like the original - Quasimodo;) I climb behind him.

outpost_introduction_dlg.sloc:

He points to the city view.

Player: Roofs... Streets... Buildings... Nothing special.

Quasimodo: "Nothing special." Are you blind? You gaze upon freedom itself!

Imagine being locked up for 5 years in a concrete box.

And all you can see are walls, one meter away on all sides.

A desolate cell that makes even a virus-devastated city seem like a paradise by comparison.

This may be nothing special to you, but as a former prisoner of Mamertine prison, the region's biggest prison…

The city is fucking Shangri-La!

And I'll never return to that hellhole ever again!

At least I vowed not to... but she... she ruined everything.

Player: What the hell are you talking about?

Quasimodo: She took control of the Opera House, lying to my people about me. And she separated me from Figaro.

Player: Your people? Who are they?

Quasimodo: Former Mamertine prisoners. I freed them in order to save them all from the infected invading the prison.

They were trapped. So I took over the security systems, deactivating the cell locks in the process.

I saved them all. Including Astrid. But she sure turned on me.

And imprisoned me. In a concrete box.

Player: What's the story of the Opera House?

Quasimodo: Once we were all free, the Prisoners took it over, made it their home.

I wanted to establish a safe haven for those who had been unjustly imprisoned in the first place.

But Astrid didn't want safety. She wanted power.

So she spread poisonous lies. Turned my people against me.

Astrid corrupted the safe haven, turning it into a charnel house:

A deadly fighting arena.

Player: Who's Figaro?

Quasimodo: Figaro... He... He's my son.

Player: Your son?! Astrid has your child?

Quasimodo: Yes. You see, he helped me escape the dungeon.

I live thanks to Figaro. But... I left him behind.

He goes silent.

He suddenly raises his voice.

Quasimodo: You think me a monster!

What kind of father am I? What father leaves his child at the mercy of his enemies?

Player: I'm not judging you, Kurt.

I left somebody once too.

Kurt looks up at me with interest.

Player: Why is Astrid holding your son?

Quasimodo: To use him. You see, Figaro is a special child. A genius.

But Astrid... She'll never control him... She doesn't know what love is.

Kurt stops. He's on the verge of crying.

Quasimodo: If you help me and free Figaro ... I'll tell you where I hid the GRE terminal.

Player: How do I do that?

Quasimodo: You must challenge Astrid to a fight…

And beat her.

Player: It can't be that easy.

Quasimodo: She rules by right of challenge. Anyone who defeats her usurps her position.

Tournament winners may challenge her, but the few who've dared have not survived the experience.

You could challenge her. But it would take battling through the entire tournament to earn the right.

Player: And your son? How do I free him?

Quasimodo: You need to disable Arena's security by shorting out its circuits.

That will allow me to enter the Opera House undetected. I'll deal with Figaro.

When you get to the Opera House, I'll guide you through disabling security.

outpost_enrolment_pre_dlg.sloc:

I come closer - I see a man wearing a bow tie, a hat - he is elegant - REFERENCE: a boxing announcer. I come to BJ. He speaks, he is outspoken.

BJ: If you're here for Sergey's fight, you're late. Got a sold out crowd.

Player: I'm not here to watch. I'm here to fight.

BJ looks at us dubiously.

BJ: A fighter? Not from what I can see, baby. And I've seen'em all.

Harshly.

BJ: What? You think this is some neighbourhood fight club and any poor schmuck can volunteer to take a punch?

Champions only, baby. Champs. Not chumps.

Player: I'm no chump. Whatever that is.

BJ looks at me. He gets a little respect.

BJ: Then you gotta prove you're a champ.

Player: How?

BJ: Chump question. Try the La Puerta arena. Or the PK ship at Sergeant Allen's. You also got Black Peter's at the Fish Eye Canteen.

Win in two of these places, might find a spot for you here.

Now get outta here and don't bother me again till you got some bruises on that baby face of yours.

Wait a minute. Aren't you that Aiden kid? Got the radio workin' for Matt?

Player: Yeah, that's me.

BJ: That's quite a boost for the PK. And what's good for the PK is good for the Opera House. Grows our audience.

Listen, so maybe you're no chump, but you're not champ yet, either. You gotta win a qualifying tournament.

Player: If it'll let me compete here. Where do I go?

BJ: You can try the La Puerta arena, or the PK ship at Sergeant Allen's, or even Black Peter's at the Fish Eye Canteen.

Normally, you'd have win two of them for a slot here, buuut…

Given who you are, I think just one'll do you for.

Come back to me after that, and we'll make room in the Warriors' Suite for ya!

OBJECTIVE: Win a local tournament

(Aiden has to complete one of the 3 challenges below, after this he can return to BJ to perform a proper fight.)

CHALLENGE 1, La Puerta Arena:

outpost_challenge_1_intro_dlg.sloc (This dialogue was translated from Polish to English using Google Translate:

Player: Aiden says he wants to fight.

Yoska: Yoska says you have to bet money. Such rules. The entry fee is 1000.

Yoska replies that with the Nomads - the tournament is 2x2. Yoska points to one gypsy - Ferk (appears in dialogue) and tells the player that he will be with us in the party.

Yoska says it's also a Nomad custom that at the beginning each team draws a weapon or item to fight with.

Player: Aiden accepts the rules and rushes Yoska.

Yoska: Yoska closes his eyes and his friend Boba says Stop. Then Yoska says, "Metal Pipe!"

Player: Aiden comments sarcastically - strange draw. Then Yoska closes her eyes and mutters something under her breath. Aiden must select the Stop dialogue option.

Yoska: She can also ask if it's a Circus, then Yoska opens her eyes for a moment. Aiden says stop. Yoska answers - a barrel of vodka!!!

Player: If Aiden did the Over The top quest early... he replies... he's done it before and doesn't have fond memories.

He also comments on the reliability of the draw.

If Aiden hasn't done the Over The top quest before - Aiden comments on the reliability of the draw

Yoska says - you drink or you fall.

outpost_challenge_1_after_1st_fight_dlg.sloc

Player: Aiden talks to Yoska and sees Ferka arguing with Yoska about betting all the money.

There will be no interest for the king of gypsies who will order them to be flogged - Ferka couldn't sit down after the last flop for a week ... That's why the gypsies want a rematch.

Aiden doesn't mean to. He says it was a scam. Ferka, instead of joining him, fought against him.

Yoska: Yoska asks for a chance for a rematch and comments that if we don't like Ferk, they will gladly take him in.

Player: Aiden says something like "oh nice".

Yoska: Yoska says - that now is the last fight. Revenge. Such rules. Ferka is happy that they will get their money back.

Now it won't be easy because I will be alone and there will be three of them.

Player: Aiden asks if this is really happening. Yoska closes her eyes and Boba says Stop.

Yoska: Yoska shouts: Machete!!

Player: Aiden sighs…

Yoska: Yoska counts again and Aiden has to say stop. Aiden selects the Stop dialog option.

Yoska says: 4 barrels of vodka!

Aiden laughs through his tears.

outpost_challenge_1_after_2nd_fight_dlg.sloc:

Yoska: Dialogue with Yoska. Yoska has a broken nose.

Ferka: Ferka says they're just screwed now. The gypsy king won't give them that. They lost all the money.

Player: Aiden can make a decision and let them keep the money.

If I agree not to take money - they offer vodka and call me chhavo.

If I don't agree - I'm a gadjo, and they're broken - they drink alone.

CHALLENGE 2:

outpost_challenge_2_pre_dlg.sloc (text is also translated from Polish to English using Google Translate):

Player: Aiden asks again - and says he wants to fight. Felix introduces the rules.

Feliks: You can wash as much as you want, but without sharp weapons. Well, not on the face…

outpost_challenge_2_intro_dlg.sloc:

Feliks: Felix tells him why he is laughing so much. He says he made a lot of money with his Champion and now he imagines what he can buy with that money.

And then he just cheers loudly. It's stronger than him.

Player: Aiden tells him that he has come to fight the Champion.

Felix laughs again. Aiden asks him why he's laughing now.

Feliks: He replies that he imagined what he would buy after this fight.

outpost_challenge_2_after_1st_fight_dlg.sloc:

Feliks: Felix is ​​inconsolable that he has lost. After a while, Champion joins the table. This time without the helmet.

Brienne: Turns out my opponent is a woman (looks like Brienne from Game of Thrones). The drunk agent turns out to be her husband.

He threatens her and mocks her: “You got what you wanted. You thought you could fight like a man here?! So you want to keep us?! Now you see for yourself - the guy knocked you down.

Go back to the pots, that's what you know." The woman says she's had enough of him and leaves: "Face yourself, drunkard." The man becomes aggressive. He forbids the woman to leave.

Player: The player makes a decision.

A. I don't get involved, I leave with the money I earn.

B. I decide to intervene harshly, tell him to fuck off his wife.

Feliks: Drunk Felix says he'll show me how to fight and challenges me to a duel outside.

PLAYER CHOICE: I don't get involved, I leave with the money I earn. / I'm telling him to get away from his wife.

outpost_challenge_2_before_2nd_fight_dlg.sloc:

Feliks: Felix snarls and threatens Aiden. Felix's wife appears in the dialogue and says that her husband has never fought and saves the situation.

Felix says he loves her and she says she loves him. Aiden comments that it's a complicated relationship.

CHALLENGE 3:

outpost_challenge_3_intro_dlg.sloc: (also translated using Google Translate)

Ikeda: Hello - are you the Champion I'm about to fight? The girl replies yes. Aiden is confused.

Arya: The girl begins to explain the rules of the duel. Aiden is getting more and more confused.

Eventually, the girl starts laughing - and says he fooled me. The girl says that the Champion is her older brother. During the dialogue, the actual Champion appears.

Ikeda: Champion greets Aiden and introduces himself as Ikeda Atsushi, then explains the rules.

Ikeda is very honorable.

Aiden can interrupt and say that the other champion has already explained everything to him. Ikea laughs.

outpost_challenge_3_after_1st_fight_dlg.sloc:

Arya: After the first duel, Ikeda's sister appears and says that her brother will be coming soon.

outpost_challenge_3_after_2nd_fight_dlg.sloc:

Arya: Ikeda's sister reappears. Aiden asks why Ikeda disappears like that. From the dialogue, she learns that her brother must punish himself for failure.

Player: Aiden asks the girl what's going on, but she doesn't get an answer because Ikeda is already here. The girl counts down and we have another fight.

outpost_challenge_3_after_3rd_fight_dlg.sloc:

Player: The girl reappears. The girl is sad but congratulates Aiden.

Aiden asks what this punishment is about. The girl says her brother hurts himself when he loses.

He says he no longer has an ear, an eye, and a few fingers.

Ikeda: When Ikeda arrives, he demands a rematch. Aiden asks why he's doing this...he says it's for honor.

Nobody accepts losers.

When he fought in the Opera arena, he was called the Japanese Protector. One loss made him lose respect.

The sister asks John to stop fighting. Ikeda says to him - I promised you that Protector will return to the arena.

Arya: The daughter says that she will practice and become the protector's apprentice and respect will return.

Ikeda: Ikeda says it takes years for you to turn into a warrior.

Player: Aiden says he will be appearing in the Arena as the Protector's apprentice. Ikea agrees.

OBJECTIVE: Talk to BJ.

outpost_enrolment_dlg.sloc:

I go back to BJ after winning the local tournament. 3 NPCs around. There is a buzz of conversation. BJ notices me.

Player: Did it. I won.

BJ: Nice. But don't get too big for your britches. All you did was win playground brawls. These are the big boy fights!

So take your pick... who will you challenge first?

PLAYER CHOICE: I'll take on the Infected. / I will test myself against the warriors. / I wish to fight Astrid.

I’ll take on the infected:

Player: I'll take on the Infected.

BJ: An amuse bouche is a nice place to start.

I will test myself against warriors:

Player: I will test myself against the warriors.

BJ: Ah yes! An appetiser before the main course!

I wish to fight Astrid:

Player: I wish to fight Astrid.

BJ: Are you mad?! You would challenge... ASTRID?!

The chatter fades out. Complete silence. I hear whispers.

Outpost Man 1: He's insane!

Outpost Man 2: What newcomer would be so stupid to challenge the Chieftain?!

Outpost Man 1: An imbecile who'll soon be wearing his guts around his ankles.

BJ: Wait here.

Connects to Astrid via radio.

BJ: Your eminence, I have a surprise challenger for you... name of Aiden.

Yes, that's the one... Yes... Yes. Of course, your eminence.

It stands to reason. I will.

To me.

BJ: You're fucked.

Player: She refused?

BJ: On the contrary, she accepted! You must await further instructions in the competitors' suite.

After a moment he turns and points to Dave standing a bit further behind him.

BJ: You see that rather seedy character over there? That's Dave.

A shady bastard, but also the Opera House's chief bookmaker. You can make a lotta cha-ching with him.

Or lose everything. But you've proven your appetite for risk, haven't you?

Dave waves at us friendly. A Contrast against BJ's words.

BJ: Best of luck, Aiden. Nice knowin' you.

OBJECTIVE: Meet Dave.

outpost_bookie_first_meet_dlg.sloc:

Dave: You seem more keen on sightseeing than preparing to battle Astrid. Looking for anything in particular?

Player: Just checking out the opera house. It's really gorgeous.

Dave: Architecture lover, huh? XIX century. It was commissioned by Emperor Xavier.

I lie.

Player: You. Was told you were looking for me.

Dave looks at me like he's watching a horse before a race.

Dave: I hope you fight better than you lie. Or you won't last three minutes.

Okay. Any injuries? Aches? Pains? Eyes good?

Player: What?

Dave: I accept bets. I need to know your earning potential.

Player: Look, I'm just here to fight Astrid. Can't we just skip to that part?

Dave: It's not that simple. You must defeat her champions first.

Dave hands us a tournament weapon.

Dave: You need a weapon. There are three rounds of fighting.

Dave points to the winch.

Dave: This will take you up to the Arena.

OH! And I'm taking bets on your fight. Care to place the first bet... on yourself?

PLAYER CHOICE: I bet I’ll win. / 10 to 1 that I won’t be injured. / I don’t want to bet.

Player: I bet I'll win.

Dave: You're being cautious. A wise choice for your first battle.

Player: 10 to 1 that I won't be injured? I'll bet on that.

Dave: How brash! Excellent. I always earn double from you cocky warriors.

Player: Not much of a gambler.

Dave: Fair enough. Can't spend it if you're dead, anyway.

outpost_first_duel_presentation_gpl.sloc:

BJ: 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 …

I'm in the arena. I can hear BJ drawing out his vowels from the loudspeakers like a boxing commentator.

BJ: Laaadiies and Geeeentlemen! Get ready for your favorite spectacle of blood, guts and raaaaaagging violence!

A young usurper, AAAAAAAAAIDEEEEEEN, stands up to fight!

Fight.

OBJECTIVE: Win a first duel.

During the first fight.

BJ: Not too flashy, but gets 'er done! Bravo Aiden!

After the first enemies - stage 1

BJ: First stage done. On to stage 2... Incooommmmiiinggg!

During the fight.

BJ: Our blood-soaked boy wonder is really warming up now! Aaiiddenn!

After defeating 3 stronger enemies.

BJ: C'mon everyone! Show some love for death from above--AAAIIDDEENN!

During the fight.

BJ: Hear that jangling sound? That's the sound of money being made by all those who bet on Aiden. Cha to the Ching!

outpost_first_duel_congratulations_dlg.sloc:

BJ: Aiden, you hunkahunka burning warrior, please! Allow me to present you.

I walk over to BJ. BJ turns to the audience.

BJ: And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, as is sacred tradition, Aiden will be declared tournament champion by our beloved Chieftain... AAAASSSTRRRIIIDDD!!

No one shows up in the arena, though. BJ looks around for Astrid.

To me.

BJ: Beloved chieftains... never on time. Am I right?

I can't see Astrid, but I can hear her voice.

Astrid: You would have me give medals to any beggar off the street?

I can't see Astrid, but BJ looks at the audience.

BJ: Ummm... okay... so maybe she's not coming to honour you.

Then it falls to me.

You are now part of an elite class of warriors. In keeping with another of our sacred traditions, you may choose your new name.

PLAYER CHOICE: Immortal Aiden. / Aiden The Deathslayer. / Aiden The Usurper.

A seller's tone.

BJ: A fierce young man, formidable newcomer, and first round winner... I give you... the Immortal Aideeen!

A seller's tone.

BJ: A fierce young man, formidable newcomer, and first round winner... I give you... Aideeen the DeaaaaathSlaaaaayerrrrr!!!

A seller's tone.

BJ: A fierce young man, formidable newcomer, and first round winner... I give you... Aideeen the Usuuuurpeeer!

The crowd cheers. BJ quieter to me.

BJ: Nice one, kid. You just filled the Opera House's coffers. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

Wait in the suite while we scrape the gore off the arena floor. We'll call you for the next round.

outpost_radio_contact_01_gpl.sloc:

I go back to my room. Kurt gets in touch with me on the radio.

Quasimodo: Well done. I heard the crowd roaring over the radio. You won the hearts of the Mamertines.

Now, go to the control room.

Whispering.

Player: I can't talk right now.

Quasimodo: Okay, okay, let me know when you it's safe.

OBJECTIVE: Use power cable to make short circuit.

outpost_short_circuit_done_gpl.sloc:

Player: Kurt? I shorted out the system.

Quasimodo: Unfortunately, that was only step one.

Player: Right. Step one, short the system. Step two, defeat Astrid.

Quasimodo: No, the system's only partially disabled. You have to short another circuit in the upstairs control room.

Because if the resistors are connected in parallel, the direct current -

Player: Cut the tech talk. Second short, in the control room upstairs, right? Is that it?

Quasimodo: Should be.

Player: Okay, here I go.

OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the security control room.

outpost_guard_second_floor_1_dlg.sloc:

I try to make my way to the upper floors to the control room. I meet Hammer. Hard. HAMMER - 30, MUSCLEMAN, he keeps getting his words wrong.

Hammer: And where do you think you're going?!

Player: Umm ... I wanted to...

Hammer: I don't give a shit. It was a rheumatic question.

Player: Rheumatic?

Hammer: Or was it a predatorial one. Who gives a fuck? It means: Leave!

Player: Sure I can't convince you to let me pass?

Hammer: How about I pass my fist through your face?

Wait, wait... You're not that Payton, are ya?

Player: Aiden... Yes, that's me.

Hammer: Dave's been looking for you.

Seems like you pissed him off or something. He's waiting for you in the suite.

outpost_radio_contact_02_gpl.sloc:

I leave the room, making sure no one can see me. I close the door behind me.

Player: I can't reach the control room. The entrance is guarded.

Quasimodo: All Astrid's guards are gambling addicts.

You can win him over easily. I'll wager.

outpost_guard_second_floor_2_dlg.sloc:

I go to Hammer. On the way, I notice pear-type punching bags - they have the image of Kurt. The contestants practice punches on them, so can I. I go to Hammer. I start a conversation with him.

Hammer: I'm a guard, you idiot. Not the doorman.

Player: I don't have much time.

Hammer: And I don't give much fucks.

Player: Look... I'm fighting shortly. Got good odds too... maybe... a wager?

Hammer: Now you're talking.

If you beat your next opponent within two minutes, I'll let you upstairs.

You lose, you come back and pay me twice the posted odds.

And don't think you can sneak away without paying me, either. I'll catch you... or my other guard buddies will.

Player: Fair enough. Then it's a deal!

I walk away from Hammer. After a while someone calls me from the hallway.

Dave: Aiden! Come here for a minute.

A bit further, Dave appears next to the (boxing) pears with Kurt's head.

Dave: Hop to it, boy! Time is money!

You seem brave. And bravery makes me a lot of money. But so does stupidity.

Seems you got both in spades. No one's challenged Astrid in ages.

Player: Maybe that's because it's a fixed fight. Didn't she trick her rival, and banish him?

Dave bursts out laughing. He picks up the "pear", snaps his finger at Kurt's nose, painted on it.

Dave: You mean Kurt? This freak?

Player: This hero, you mean. Didn't he save all the prisoners?

Dave: Perhaps. But he went batshit not long after.

Player: How do you mean?

Dave: I mean, he lost his mind. Had a psychotic break, you ask me.

Player: What's the story on his son? Why would Astrid be holding him?

Dave: Son? What're you talking about?

Dave looks at me, surprised at first, then bursts out laughing out loud.

Dave: Figaro? Oh, he's calling it his son now, is he? Hahaha.

Did he tell you about the boy's mother? Or... motherboard, to be more accurate.

Player: What are you...?

Dave: Kurt practically rebuilt the GRE security system from scratch. He tinkered with every little feature.

Electricity, fire suppression... plus new protocols to kill infected. Except, they often killed people, too.

He didn't care. He'd bizarrely fallen in love with creation and gave it a name.

Now you see... And I'm sure he's only gone crazier in his isolation.

Good thing Astrid banished him. Bet by now, he'd just be running around, humping everyone's toasters.

I hear BJ's voice from afar.

BJ: Are you ready for the floooooooddddd of more blooooooodddd?!!!!

The Immortal vs. The Invincible Mutilator! Soon! (The first name changes depending on the player’s choice of name.)

Dave: You'd better get out there. Make a bet first?

Player: I bet on myself.

Dave: Very good.

/

Player: I bet I won't be hurt.

Dave: Well oh well. If you say so!

/

Player: Nah, not a gamblin' man.

Dave: As you wish.

outpost_radio_contact_03_gpl.sloc:

We're in the arena. Kurt is on the radio.

Quasimodo: You in? How'd it go with the guard?

Player: You lied to me, Kurt.

Quasimodo: What? What are you talking about?!

The first wave of enemies appears in the arena.

Player: Hold that thought.

OBJECTIVE: Win the second duel.

outpost_radio_contact_04_gpl.sloc:

I defeated the first wave of opponents. I contact Kurt.

Quasimodo: What did they tell you?

Player: What you didn't tell me: that Figaro isn't a child, but a fucking electronic system.

Quasimodo: You don't understand. He's mine. I brought him to life.

With my own hands. Piece by piece. Don't you see?

I didn't lie to you. I consider Figaro my child.

Another wave of enemies appears.

outpost_radio_contact_05_gpl.sloc:

Quasimodo: Aiden? Aiden are you there?!

Cry from the stands.

Outpost Man 01: Mow'em down, Aiden! Make'em bleeeeeeedd!!

outpost_radio_contact_06_gpl.sloc:

Quasimodo: Aiden?! You can't abandon me.

Player: Uh, a little busy here…

Quasimodo: Why should only people be worthy of love?

People are monsters. Figaro was born of love!

Cry from the stands.

Outpost Man 02: Strangle'em with his own entrails!!! Woo woo wooo!!

outpost_radio_contact_07_gpl.sloc:

Quasimodo: Aiden... I'm begging you!

Cry from the stands.

Outpost Man 01: End them!

Player: I'll contact you when I get to the control room!

Cry from the stands.

Outpost Man 02: Send'em to their maker!!

OBJECTIVE: Talk to Hammer.

outpost_guard_irritated_dlg.sloc:

If I didn't beat the champion in under 2 minutes. I can see Hammer from a distance by my room.

Hammer: If it ain't my favourite loser!

I go over to Hammer

Player: You win some, you lose some.

Hammer: And you just lost a lot! Twice the odds. You can pay with money... or blood!

Both is also an option.

Let's start with money. You owe me 50,000. You payin' up or is this gonna get messy?

Player: Do we have to do this now? I need to get upstairs!

Hammer: 50,000. Money... or blood?

PLAYER CHOICE: I'm paying. / I'll come back.

Player: Here. Now will you let me upstairs?

Hammer: Now that we're square, I don't see why not.

Be my guest.

Player: I'll bring it to you later. I promise.

Hammer: You'd better. Remember, you ain't leaving me high and dry!

outpost_guard_paid_dlg.sloc:

After collecting the money, I go back to Hammer. I give him the money.

Player: Here you go. As promised.

Hammer: Jackpot! That's what I'm talking about.

Player: Will you let me upstairs now?

Hammer: Yeah but be quick. Dave was just here looking for you. He could come back at any time.

OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the security control room.

outpost_bookie_blackmail_1_dlg.sloc:

I launched Figaro. I'm back. I see Hammer standing with Dave at a door to some room.

Dave: Get over here. We need to talk.

I follow Dave and Hammer into the room. It's a large room with some strong guests waiting inside.

Dave: You must think I'm some sort of goddamn idiot.

Player: Uh... not really...?

Dave: Hammer's never won a wager in his life. He'd bet on his next breath and lose!

He told me you fixed a fight.

No one fixes a fight around here without running it by me first!

I figured out what you're up to. Kurt sent you.

And you know what Astrid will do when I tell her?

Player: What do you want?

Dave: From now on, you'n me are gonna team up to fix fights.

Once I've made a reasonable amount of money, as in, a fuckload, only then will I let you in to Figaro.

Player: And if I'm not interested in a team-up?

Dave: Then I'll tell Astrid everything. And she'll make your impaling a special event at the arena.

And believe me, that would be a real crowd-pleaser!

Player: Okay. You win.

Dave: I'll send instructions before your fights. And you'd better follow them. To the letter.

Player: I'm not a cheater. And you fixed your last fight!

The fight with the brawlers, Dave and Hammer begins.

Outpost_bookie_blackmail_1_after_dlg.sloc: (translated using Google Translate.)

I fight and defeat Dave, his henchmen. Hammer doesn't fight, I can spare or not (Hammer swears he won't tell).

Hammer doesn't fight - I talk to him at the end.

I can spare him or not.

If I spared him, then in the same dialogue I contact Kurt via radio. I tell him what happened. peace. He had to escape.

He tells me to barricade the door from the inside so no one will discover the wreckage, and to kill Hammer if I don't - he will betray me for sure.

Then I'm supposed to sneak out of the room through the window and go to Figaro's. I follow Kurt's orders - but Hammer is not in the room - he must have escaped.

If I chose to kill Hammer, a fight ensues, I kill Hammer, and then I radio Kurt.

outpost_radio_contact_08_gpl.sloc:

I'm on the radio with Kurt.

Player: Dave figured things out. I had to kill him.

Quasimodo: Where are you?

Player: A large room, upstairs, with old furniture.

Quasimodo: The treatment room... Lock the door from inside, quick!

I go to the door to lock them.

outpost_radio_contact_09_gpl.sloc:

Player: Kurt? I blocked the door.

Quasimodo: Go out the window and return to the suite. You must not be seen!

outpost_coitus_interruptus_gpl.sloc:

I run into another room while escaping through the window. A GLADIATOR is in the process of trying to have a go at it with some lady there.

Player: Oops, sorry.

Outpost Gladiator 01: Fucking fans. This ain't a peep show. Get the fuck out!

outpost_radio_contact_10_dlg.sloc:

I'm in the control room. I get in touch with Kurt.

Player: I'm in the control room.

Quasimodo: Perfect! Now plug the control cable to the inactive module to engage the–

Player: Simple, Kurt.

Quasimodo: The thing with the red light.

I look around.

Player: Don't see anything like that…

Quasimodo: That's because it's on the other side of the Arena!

Player: Now you tell me... Maybe Astrid'll to bring it to me.

If I ask nicely. Nah... I'm on my way.

outpost_radio_contact_11_gpl.sloc:

Player: Okay, I was able to short circuit this panel.

Quasimodo: Well done. Go back to the suite. Stay invisible till you get there.

OBJECTIVE: Get back to waiting room.

(Some dialogue files seem to be missing during this section, but Aiden enters another duel in the Arena during this part.)

outpost_fight_of_decade_dlg.sloc:

The music stops. Astrid appears in the arena.

Astrid: Aiden! Come here.

I go over to Astrid.

Astrid: You're finally going to go down, Aiden.

For everyone in the audience, after a bottle of vodka, let your time run faster.

The crowd chants "A-strid, A-strid!"

Astrid: Two more opponents and I'll wipe that smug look off your face... against the arena floor!

OBJECTIVE: Win the final duel.

outpost_final_fight_dlg.sloc:

I go to the lying weapon. When I pick it up, Astrid jumps down and knocks me over. The fans go "booo". After a while, they start chanting my nickname.

Astrid: This is my arena. You'll not take it from me.

Player: I won't. But the one you stole it from wants it back. Kurt.

Astrid: Kurt?! If that idiot even tries to return, it'll be a bloodbath.

Did he not tell you why he was imprisoned in the first place?

Because a GRE system he designed malfunctioned, allowing infected in to a shelter instead of stopping them.

One hundred inhabitants died. Women and children…

Here, with Figaro, it'd be so much worse.

Player: Nonsense. All Kurt wants is to help people.

Astrid: Perhaps. But regardless of his intentions... his systems fail.

And with each failure, more and more people died.

Player: But I need his help to get to the GRE terminal!

Astrid: The terminal? I know where Kurt hid it…

Listen to me, Aiden... Kurt is a troubled creature... Are you sure you want to fight for him?

I nod my head. Astrid turns to talk to the crowd.

Astrid: Aiden... desists!

A murmur of surprise in the audience.

Outpost Man 01: What is this?! Some kind of scam!

Outpost Man 02: Give us our money back! Cheaters!

After a while, everything goes out. Dark. From the loudspeakers, the chorus of the opera aria of Barbeiro De Sevilla is heard. The exits from the Arena close. The hanging installations lower a bit. I hear Kurt's voice from the speakers.

Quasimodo: You have betrayed us, Aiden! You've all betrayed us!

We've made you a home, me and Figaro, and you?

You will die, Astrid! You and your people!

Screams of panic from the audience, people start to run away.

Astrid: Aiden, we have to shut him down. Come on, the Control Room!

Player: Enough talking. Let's do this already.

OBJECTIVE: Deactivate Figaro in control room.

outpost_final_fight_after_dlg.sloc:

Astrid: Aiden! Over here! Help me!

Good thing you turned it off. I told you, Kurt is a madman.

Astrid stops in mid-word, looks straight ahead. Her eyes get bigger and bigger.

Astrid: Fuck me.

Kurt appears in the arena in his electrocuted combat suit.

Quasimodo: You've killed Figaro. Now, I'm going to kill you.

Player: Holy shit …

OBJECTIVE: Defeat Quasimodo.

outpost_final_fight_glitch_dlg.sloc:

When Kurt has 1/3 of his health, Figaro turns back on. All the lights come on. A glitch. I'm back from the glitch, I'm in a different place.

Quasimodo: Figaro! My son! You're awake!

After a while, the lights start turning on and off. The sirens sound and stop. Kurt is confused by this.

Quasimodo: Figaro! Figaro, what's happening?

Astrid: You see? I told you Figaro was a genius. Mind of his own!

The door opens, more zombies rush into the building. One of the zombies jumps on Kurt. Kurt flies against the wall. He is injured from that point on.

OBJECTIVE: Survive

outpost_ending_astrid_dlg.sloc:

There are no more zombies in the arena, it's clean. I glitch again. It gets dark, everyone disappears. Silence. I wake up from the glitch. I see guards take Kurt out.

Astrid: A dungeon is better than he deserves. His life is forfeit for what's he done.

Player: He's sick, not evil. Let him go... far away from here. To be by himself.

Astrid: Look where that decision got us.

But, you won the fight. So the decision is yours.

PLAYER CHOICE: You’re right. / (Choice seems to be missing from dialogue)

Player: You're right. He is sick. And he'll never get better.

Astrid: We will seal the passage, trapping him. He won't escape from that.

Player: But I still need that GRE Terminal.

Astrid: There is a warehouse at the back of the Arena. All Kurt's equipment is stored there.

Player: Thank you. And Figaro?

Astrid: Bring Danior, a merchant from La Puerta. He and his men can dismantle this abomination. Maybe they can salvage something useful from it.

Player: Will you stay here?

Astrid: Where else would I go? This is my home. And these are my people.

Here, neither the PK, nor the Renegades or the Director interfere. We do as we please.

Player: Like gamble and fight for money?

Astrid: So we make some scratch in the process. What's wrong with that?

outpost_final_fight_post_glitch_dlg.sloc:

Astrid: Beeeehooold the Immortal! The new Maaaster! (Changes depending on player name choice.)

Off.

PLAYER CHOICE: I'm staying, I want to protect the people. / I'm leaving, I'm asking him not to hurt anyone.

Astrid: You alive? You won... but for a moment it looked like the effort killed you.

Astrid exits the arena. The crowd chants "Ai-den, Ai-den.

Player: Thank you!!! As your new Chieftain, I–

The crowd interrupts me, chants my nickname even louder.

Quasimodo: I saved you and you betrayed me! You will pay for this!

Kurt appears next to me.

Quasimodo: I'm going to kill them, Aiden. You should leave.

Player: No way, Kurt. I'm staying. You're not killing anyone.

Player: I'll go. But you're not killing anyone.

You said this was about saving them from Astrid. Not–

Quasimodo: Heroes... so easy to manipulate. You killed Leto.

I never forgave you for that. Now it's your turn to die!

OBJECTIVE: Defeat Quasimodo.

OBJECTIVE: Use the GRE Terminal.

outpost_terminal_dlg.sloc:

I go to the place indicated by Astrid. I use the Terminal. I put the cube into the terminal. The terminal fires up - I hear a voice.

Player: Crap.

In each language version, it is the language choice!

Player: English... I want English.

In the language version according to the localization.

Terminal: Please wait. The access opening procedure is in progress.

Suddenly - fanfare / funny music is heard from the terminal, an operatic melody - fitting the place.

Player: Hell. Nice vibe.

Terminal: Congratulations. The code has been loaded.

Haunted Hospital:

A cut main quest that took place in the Saint Joseph’s Hospital shortly before the Observatory quest. REMEMBER, this quest is from a point in development when the Mia storyline was created. So it is not representative of the plot from 2019 and prior.

OBJECTIVE: Search the GRE outpost.

hauntedhospital_vision_waltz_and_mia_1_dlg.sloc:

When I enter the lobby - a scene is triggered.

Aiden Kid: Mia! They're not here! Let's go back to the shelter -

Mia: In a second, you fraidy-cat!

Let's just find the crayons, then we'll go…

Aiden Kid: You promise?

Mia: I promise!

Aiden Kid: Mia! Hey!

At this point, a male voice is heard in the background.

Waltz: Who's there?!

Whispering.

Mia: Aiden! I know where we left them! Come on!

Aiden Kid: Forget it!

Mia: We used them to draw on the walls! We just gotta go up–

Aiden Kid: We're going to the shelter!

Mia: Uuuuhhh!!! Seriously, there's an elevator straight back to the shelter from there. Come ooon!

The kids run away. Waltz appears - looks around furiously and - goes after them.

hauntedhospital_vision_waltz_and_mia_2_dlg.sloc:

Through the terrace - I enter the room where Mia and Aiden were drawing their hands. I can see the drawing on the wall. At this point, it comes on and I can see the end of the flashback.

Mia: Give it, will ya!

I turn around. I see Little Mia take Little Aiden's hand. And copies a pattern of his hand on the wall.

Aiden Kid: We can't draw on walls! We're gonna get in trouble!

Suddenly a voice.

Waltz: Here you are!

The kids jump up and run towards the elevators ... Mia collects the crayons in a hurry.

Suddenly, another voice comes into the flashback.

I see a door and a bright, purple light.

Renegade 1: There's no one here!

hauntedhospital_vision_waltz_and_mia_3_dlg.sloc:

Aiden Kid: What now?

Mia: Hold on. I'm trying -

Aiden Kid: Mia! He'll find us soon …

At this point, Waltz reappears. He grabs Aiden! It seems like something bad is about to happen.

Waltz: Boo!

Aiden Kid: Aaaaah!

Mia: Let him go! Let go!

No hostility.

Waltz: I told you you wouldn't get away.

Aiden Kid: Let go …

Mia lunges at Waltz. And ... tickles him ... Waltz responds with the same - to her. The joyful madness lasts for a moment.

Waltz: Enough.

The kids bow their heads.

Waltz: Whose idea was this?

Aiden? Mia?

The kids won't admit it. Eventually, Aiden speaks.

Aiden Kid: Mine.

Waltz: This is the last time, all right? I am not joking!

Looking for words to explain.

Aiden Kid: Okay. Sorry, Dr. Waltz ....

Aiden Kid: The City is up in flames!!

There are people who want to hurt you.

You cannot... must not... leave the shelter.

Waltz himself - with a card - opens the door for us. The children, with their heads down, enter the room.

hauntedhospital_vision_waltz_and_mia_1_comment_gpl.sloc:

Player: So these are elevators to the shelter... I'm going.

OBJECTIVE: Find the shelter.

hauntedhospital_vision_room_dlg.sloc:

(Dialogue was only written in Polish. Translated using Google Translate.)

We see the room. From the intro, but suddenly it melts and we see the place as it really is. It is a very nice room with cots and toys scattered around. The layout of the rooms is correct.

hauntedhospital_vision_explosion_dlg.sloc:

I walk into the room. A beautiful room. Cots, toys. It's colorful here. Some sounds. A baby sobbing. And Dylan's calm voice.

Dylan: Stay calm! Everything will be fine…

Suddenly an EXPLOSION!

Smoke. Darkness. I see little Aiden. He's standing in a room full of smoke, fire. Aiden calls out.

Aiden: Mia! Mia!

Dust, smoke. Another bump. Dylan runs between the kids.

Now I see him saying that to Waltz. Waltz turns to the children.

Dylan: We're under attack! They've entered the building!

Waltz: Wait! You don't understand! It's not safe!

Young Aiden turns towards us, runs past us and runs into a street full of cars. Old Aiden follows him with his eyes. Everything melts and the player sees another door (an airlock in front of the parking lot entrance) with a mural with cars in the city on it. Reminiscent of the nightmare scene. You can see the word PARKING on top.

OBJECTIVE: Get to the underground parking.

hauntedhospital_bodies_gpl.sloc:

Player: Bodies, fresh. Someone's been through here.

hauntedhospital_climb_comments:

Player: Yeah, this ladder definitely wasn't here earlier.

Player: Ladders, crates, supplies…

Not sure if I like this.

hauntedhospital_renegades_chase/fight dialogue:

Player: I hear noises - renegades have stormed the parking lot.

Renegade 3: Get him! He can't escape!

Renegade 3: Just don't kill him, goddamn it!

Renegade 1: Give it up. You don't have a chance!

hauntedhospital_renegades_fight_after_gpl.sloc:

(A voice from the radio.)

Renegade 3: Pongo? Skinny! Come in!

(A voice from the radio.)

Renegade 3: Do you have Aiden?

(To someone who is with him.)

Renegade 3: Fuck ... Something happened to 'em.

(The signal stops. I approach the elevators.)

OBJECTIVE: Find the GRE terminal.

hauntedhospital_contact_with_frank_03_gpl.sloc

Frank: Aiden, you’ve been in there too long.

Player: The GRE containers are locked up tight. Seems the power’s out.

Frank: Patch around it. Drag a circuit from the building.

Player: That’ll take a bit.

Frank: So hurry.

hauntedhospital_terminal_dlg.sloc:

Terminal: Choisir votre langue préférée.

Player: Fuck me…

Terminal: Je ne comprends pas, je suis désolé.

Player: English... I want English, dammit!

Terminal: Please wait. Access procedure initializing...

Waltz: August 13th ... We had to evacuate the hospital.

Dylan: Doctor! They're coming here …

Waltz, faster!

Waltz: All test results, reports - are gone. And with them, the chance for a cure…

I've lost any hope of gaining access to Kyle Crane -

Player: Kyle Crane ... Who the hell is Kyle Crane?

Waltz: I couldn't tell you what happens next.

The only hope is to take the X13 key to the Observatory and use it on the GRE computer there.

But it's... probably too late for that.

Waltz: To Dr. Veronika Ryan ... If I don't make it to the Observatory and you're listening to this …

The key can only be accessed with codes …

Dylan: Doctor!

Waltz: One code can be found in each of three places -

Revolutionist 1: There they are! Get them!

Waltz: God help us –

Mia's not here. Why?

Veronika - it must be that doctor from the bazaar …

So she knows where the GRE computer is.

I need to find her.

Terminal: The code has been downloaded. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Have a nice day, goodbye.

OBJECTIVES: I got the code found and downloaded it to the key. Thanks to it, Veronika and I will gain access to secret information about GRE labs, including X-13.

OBJECTIVES: Get out of the hospital.

hauntedhospital_out_of_the_hospital_gpl.sloc:

Player: Veronika? I found Waltz's notes …

I know where the GRE computer is.

At the observatory.

Veronika: Good. Let us meet there.

OBJECTIVE: Get back to Veronika to integrate a code.

Crazy Chemist:

A quest mentioned in a story draft script, which was part of the main story. It is mentioned as a REG04 quest, REG04 being the area with the Observatory.

No prefabs directly relate to this quest, but there is a strange prefab called “regions_lvl2_chemists”. It only contains collision barriers.

Communication Center:

A quest that was a part of the main story, the Communication Center was an older version of the Observatory.

Prefabs indicate that near the end of the quest, Aiden would rescue Ikars who is trapped. Rescuing him would play the dialogue: “lend a hand, get a wing”, beginning the quest of the same name. This may be a reference to how Ikars would repay Aiden by giving him a ride to the Citadel in the airship. Aiden would be flown from the Communication Center to the Citadel via Ikars’ Airship/Zeppelin. Prefabs also indicate that Aiden would be driven to the Communication Center by a truck, and the truck would be ambushed during the ride.

OBJECTIVES:

Activate the communication center

[TEMP] Help Yana

[TEMP] Trun it on

[TEMP] Go to Communication Center

Get back to Frank and send the message

Get down to the bunker

Restore power in the bunker

Use cranes in metro station to get to the bunker

The Freak:

A main story quest that has many mentions in the story draft, I personally believe that “The Freak” is referring to Waltz.

References:

temp_storyprototype_draft.sloc:

REG04 - _prot - The Freak - Looking For Freak

REG03B - _prot - The Freak

REG04 - _prot - The Freak - Use keycodes to deactivate Drones

Look for the Freak

There are various prefabs directly relating to “The Freak”, including switchers for Old Villedor, Downtown, and The Smokers. They have variants of default, and destroyed. It’s unclear what exactly they mean.

Ikars:

A main story quest line split into multiple parts (Ikars, Ikars2, Ikars3, Ikars 4, Ikars 5.) They were set primarily in REG03 (The Sunken City.) Ikars is a cut character, possibly a cut group, and presumably the owner of the airship.

According to prefabs, Ikars resided in the Elyseum pumping station. (Or at least his airship was attached to the Elyseum pumping station with ropes.

Some quest objectives still related to this exist.

OBJECTIVES:

Water for the City

Help Frank with peace meeting

Check out Frank's condition

A Double Agent:

Another main story quest mentioned in the story draft, this quest took place in R03 (Sunken City).

There are no prefabs directly relating to this quest.

Stimulants:

Another main story quest in the draft, this one set in REG03 (The Sunken City.) It has the same single objective as The Greenhouse mission (Go to the Greenhouse).

Solar Power Plant (VS):

Quest involving rescuing trapped Scavengers inside the Solar Power Plant (Cut location). A story draft implies that this quest was part of the main story and took place in The Sunken City.

Aiden had to search for a number (Possibly 2-3) of trapped Scavengers (one named Andreas)

It was somehow related to a bossfight in a large maze-like room in the SPP, with destructible walls, in which you fight against "Character;Juggernaut"

It is possible that after this quest the area could be given to the Peacekeepers or Scavengers as a facility (PKs_Area_facility/Scavs_Area_Facility)

Old Invokes imply that you had to complete this quest to progress with the main story.

In the files, the quest is often called “VS”. It’s not sure what the real title was, as this is just an abbreviation. Some dialogue names were leftover for this quest:
dlg_vs_trappedscaveger_34

dlg_vs_scavengerrescue_02

dlg_vs_scavangerrescue

dlg_vs_pk_interrogationparttwo

dlg_vs_pk_interrogationpartone

dlg_vs_pk_enteringcitadel

There are many different versions of the Solar Power Plant building:

The "PTV" Tower from Elyseum in 2018

An unused/partially unfinished, retail Central Loop looking building

An unfinished, more classical looking, large building with Solar Panels on the roof

Tunnels:

A quest taking place in REG03 (The Sunken City), most likely after the Solar Power Plant quest. There isn’t anything else directly relating to the quest so it’s unclear what took place in it. The player would most likely gain access to Elyseum after this section of the story.

The Man With No Name:

A quest taking place in the cut Elyseum military base location, which was previously a shopping mall. The player had to kill bandits and cut out their eyes and return these to the Nameless faction in exchange for information about “Joseph Skriver”.

OBJECTIVES:

Bring eyes to Nameless

Retrive the object without killing Innocents (easier at night)

Gather more eyes (item: bandit trophy)

Bring eyes and ask about Joseph

Ask about the Test

Save the Joseph's doughter

Get back to Joseph

Unlock Facility

Report to Nameless

Talk to Nameless

Breaking Point/Revenge:

The quest would open with Aiden entering St Igor’s Cathedral, the cathedral in Elyseum. A Peacekeeper is hiding somewhere in the church trying to avoid Sniper fire. Aiden would climb the tower to reach the Sniper, who is named Blaze. They would get into a fight, leading to Blaze being injured and running away.

Aiden would follow a blood trail leading into an intricate sewer tunnel. After following the blood trail through the sewer, he would come across Blaze’s Hideout, where Aiden would talk with him leading to Blaze making a decision.

The character Blaze is also mentioned in the cut Devil’s Bridge quest, seemingly a Peacekeeper.

OBJECTIVES:

That sounds urgent. I should head to the sniper's stakeout

I must get to the tower. The hostages need help

Report back to PK Camp

I must deal with the sniper

A major cut questline that shows off the internal drama of the cut Nomads faction.

Synopsis: Aiden searches for a GRE terminal in a container, he contacts Lawan to tell her that it’s empty. She instructs him to go and ask the Nomads living in the Triumphal Arch if they know about it. Aiden is told he cannot enter because of the coronation, and is told about how Saban is to become the next Nomad king. When most people want it to be Django (Saban’s older brother.) Aiden is introduced to Saban, and agrees to run in the coronation race for Saban. Aiden wins the first race, and returns to find Saban kissing Mirriam, Django’s ex-fiance. Mirriam runs off. Aiden completes the final race at the fest, and comes first place. Mirriam is supposed to sing for Aiden at the festival, but she does not appear. Aiden goes to Saban, who is arguing with Django. It is explained that Mirriam is missing, and Aiden and Lawan devise a plan to search for her. They eventually find her at an abandoned residence, where she explains that she ran away on her own because she is tired of Django and Saban. The player has to make a choice, take Mirriam back to the Arch or allow her to leave. This choice massively impacts how the rest of the storyline plays out.

The Fall Of Saban:

If Mirriam is taken back to the Arch, Saban falls from his tower and dies. Aiden searches for clues, and it is revealed that Carmen (Django and Saban’s mother) was the one who pushed Saban from the tower. Django becomes king, and is forced to banish Carmen. Django gives Aiden access to the warehouse and the GRE terminal.

The Fall Of Django:

If Mirriam runs away, Django falls from his tower and dies. Aiden searches for clues, and it is revealed that Saban was the one who assassinated Django.

The player can either lie, and say that Carmen was the one who did it. If he does this, Carmen is hung by the Nomads and Saban becomes king. Aiden gets access to the warehouse and the GRE terminal.

If the player reveals that Saban killed Django, the Nomads murder Saban. Both princes are dead, and the Triumphal Arch is taken over by the Untainted faction, who turn it into their Black Market hub (This implies that the Nomads of La Puerta are completely wiped out.) Aiden pays for access to the warehouse and the GRE terminal.

archers_empty_container_dlg.sloc:

I stand outside an empty container. I contact Lawan over the radio.

Player: Lawan? It's empty. The GRE equipment is long gone.

Lawan: Hmm... that's Nomad territory. See what they have to say.

The La Puerta survivors get a bad rap, but they're good people, Aiden. Tough exteriors... warm hearts.

Player: So all I got to do is ask and they'll give me the GRE equipment? Out of the kindness of their hearts?

Lawan: Hardly. They'll do it cuz they know me. After Frank took me in, I spent a lot of time with them.

They taught me a lot.

Find them. Let them get to know you. I'm sure they'll help.

Player: Hope so. Thanks.

OBJECTIVE: Check the Triumphal Arch for GRE Terminal.

archers_entrance_renegades_dlg.sloc:

I walk up to the Arch. The winch takes me to the top. I arrive by the entrance. Outside it is a GUARD - he wears a shirt with wild patterns with a leather jacket on top. He has a gold incisor.

Dorman: Halt. We are on high alert. No gadjo allowed inside.

Player: Gadjo?

Dorman: Outsiders. Strangers. And that means you.

It's for our new king-to-be's safety. Any stranger could be an assassin.

Player: Uh, what exactly is going on here?

Dorman: It's nearly time for our new king's coronation. And renegades prowl the area.

You could be one. Come to kill our new king.

Player: Didn't know and don't care about any coronation. I'm after military equipment taken from GRE crates.

Dorman: A likely story. Just something a renegade would ask about.

Till we've cleared out the renegades, no gadjo gets in.

archers_entrance_renegades_eliminated_dlg.sloc:

I see Django. Next to him the Guard stands motionless while DJANGO peels an apple with a knife.

Dorman: A harmless looking ćhavo, yet he swatted those vermin like so many flies.

turns to me. with irony

Django: And here he is. The famous Mr. Aiden!

Player: And who might you be?

If water tower was given to Peacekeepers:

Django: Django, but a humble Nomad.

So maybe you can explain to a humble Nomad why you handed the nearby water tower to the PK?

Player: The PK keep the peace.

Django: Keep peace? Hardly. All they keep is us from trading. Making rules, that's all they do. We prefer our freedom.

Without freedom, there can be no peace, gadjo! Not for us!

Player: So what, you'd prefer the renegades controlled the tower?

Django: We'd prefer ignorant gadjo stop interfering in our lives!

If water tower was given to Survivors:

Django: Django, but a humble Nomad.

So maybe you can explain to a humble Nomad why you handed the nearby water tower to the survivors?

Player: I'm trying to help everyday people.

Django: Oh, so you aspire to be a folk hero, do you?

You call that 'help,' gadjo? Think the Renegades will just leave it at that?

They'll come take their revenge. Blood will flow. And whose fault will it be?

The Nomads', like always.

Player: Would you prefer the Renegades controlled the tower?

Django: We'd prefer ignorant gadjo stop interfering in our lives!

(Django walks off in a huff. Only when he is a decent distance away, the Guard turns to me.)

Dorman: Don't mind him, gadjo.

He is on edge these days. A new king is to be crowned... but not him, as it should be.

Player: Okay. But I need to get in there, find some GRE equipment.

Dorman: Not happening, gadjo. You can go in, but trade has been suspended for the coronation.

That said, if you propose a deal fit for a king, you could speak with Saban.

Player: Who's that?

Dorman: Our glorious fucking King of the Tower.

Ahem, glorious fucking boy king-to-be, that is.

Coronation or not, it remains to be seen whether anyone will accept him as our true king.

Crown fits him like a bra fits my ass.

Django: Kar... Pchande muj dziukli.

(Under breath)

archers_chatterscene_elections_comments:

I walk through the hub. I see the likenesses of missing Divers on the walls. DETAIL: They died diving for crystals. IF anyone has seen them, please contact. Next to it- another. And another. With a likeness.

Archer 01: My eldest ain't even seven, and even he's got more sense than to put Saban in charge.

Archer 02: He's not just unfit, he's a traitor. Wants to get in bed with the PK. And we'll be the ones who'll get fucked.

Archer 01: If Django's father wasn't already dead, it'd kill him to see his son denied the crown.

Archer 02: How'd that happen, anyway? Django... he's the first born, isn't he?!

Not that fucking dinlow... King of the Tower, my ass.

I walk through the hub. Two women are chatting by the wall: Nomadka 1 and Nomadka 2.

Archer Woman 01: Has Carmen gone mad with grief, mourning her husband? Why else would she even consider naming Saban the old king's heir!

(whisper)

Archer Woman 02: Been talkin' to the spirits too much, she has…

Archer Woman 01: Least the spirits tell her the truth.

Everything I had coming, she saw it: marriage, kids, even who'd steal my man.

Archer Woman 02: What damn good to me's a fortune teller who's always right? Whatever she says, there's fuck all I can do about it.

Archer Woman 01: You can tan yer man's hide in advance, that's what ya can do!

Archer 03: Since when does the younger son take the crown? Nobody respects tradition anymore.

Archer 04: Tradition's the fuckin' least of it! We're gonna be ruled by a pimple-faced cretin!

Archer 03: That's what you get, lettin' a daft woman like Carmen make decisions. Saban as king? That's insane!

Archer 04: It's cuz she's a fuckin' drabarni, I tell ya!

Reads her own fortune before every meal. Asks the spirits if she should make broth or stew. Pfeh!

archers_young_candidate_first_meet_dlg.sloc:

I enter Saban's room. Saban is inside (he's blond) and his mother Carmen (gray hair)

Saban: Aiden! The people's hero!

Player: It's weird that everyone here knows me…

You're Saban, the King of the Tower?

Saban: You say that as if it makes me less of a man. Is running around town beating people up more manly?

(aggressive)

Walks up and reprimands her son

Carmen: Saban, please…

Player: I meant nothing by it. I came only to pay my respects.

(Again smiles)

Saban: Ah, right. Good. As you should.

addressing Carmen

Player: We weren't introduced.

Carmen: I know who you are, Aiden. And who you are looking for…

Saban: Splendid. You're here because you want something. I want something, too. Let's talk, shall we?

In this moment the door to the room opens. There is a lovely young woman standing there - Miriam.

Mirriam: Saban, you sent for me?

Saban: Not now, Miriam!

When she notices me and Carmen, she immediately leaves without saying a word. Carmen looks at Saban, angry.

Carmen: What do you want with her?

Saban: Can't recall. Maybe it was something about performers for the ceremony…

Carmen: Saban... I warned you about–

Saban: Hush, mother. Don't concern yourself. Now get out. The men are doing business!

(turns to me, ignoring Carmen. Carmen leaves)

Saban: Aiden. What do you need, hero?

Player: The GRE equipment that was in the military containers.

Saban: We'll have it all, and much much more, in our warehouses.

But we Nomads have a saying: Giving somebody something for free is like spitting in their face. And I respect you, Aiden.

We have a tradition here: The Great Race!

In the olden days, we'd use chariots…

But horses have all been gone for years.

So now we hoof it on our own two legs. And you…

I heard you have a mighty fast pair of legs. So you can help me.

Player: You want me to run a race for you?

Saban: Not just run, but beat my brother for me. You think I'm a fool and don't know what people are saying?

My brother is a brain-dead moron.

So he's walked the earth a few years more than me, is that an accomplishment? Is being stronger so great... when it's brains that matter?

I must be seen as a winner. A king without the respect of his people tempts assassination!

You beat Django's team - I'll give you what you want.

If Blood Diamonds quest has not been completed:

I'll throw in the winner's crystals as well. I don't need riches, just glory.

If Blood Diamonds quest has been completed:

You'll have to make due with that. There were crystals but, well, you know what happened with them…

OBJECTIVE: Represent Saban at the fest.

archers_enrollment_dlg.sloc:

I walk up to the starting line. VANO handles signups.

Player: I'd like to run in the race.

Vano: Today's spots already filled up, gadjo. Stay close if you want in. We got a place nearby you can crash for cheap.

Get a good night's sleep and tomorrow your time will be even better.

PLAYER CHOICE: I'll pay $500. / I won't pay.

OBJECTIVE: Give money for sleep.

Player: Okay, but your prices aren't close to cheap!

Vano: Eh, maybe not. But it's cozy as hell. Make yourself at home, gadjo!

I go to sleep

Player: No thanks. I'll pass.

Vano: As you wish, gadjo. Don't know what you're missing.

Vano: Right, show me your ribbons.

I pull out the ribbons I got from Saban. Vano is surprised.

Vano: Wow... So kinda problems you got?

Missing a lung? One of those legs made of wood?

Player: What?

Vano: Usually, Saban can't get anyone with all their body parts to run for him, let alone basic skills.

Player: Maybe that's before he was next in line to be king.

Vano: Yeah. That's probably it.

RACER 1 passes us. He's going toward the starting line.

Vano: Good luck, Tash!

Remember, the most important thing is not to get hurt!

Racer 1 stands at the starting line. After a moment.

Vano: Not much competition this year, so you might just squeeze your way into the finals if you're lucky.

If Blood Diamonds quest completed:

Some of the best runners worked for the Crystal Divers, the poor souls.

But that nasty business over with, thanks to you.

If Blood Diamonds quest not completed:

Some of the best runners went to work for the crystal divers and disappeared without a trace.

Get warmed up and prepare your ribbons. You have to tie one to each of the check points.

The best time wins.

archers_startline_dlg.sloc:

I walk up to the man (PERHAN) who tells the contestants when to start.

Yek! Duy! Trin!

Go!

Player: Not quite yet.

Perhan: So what're you dicking around here for? Come back if you change your mind.

Perhan: Done dicking around?

PLAYER CHOICE: Yes, I'm ready. / No, still not ready.

Player: Yeah.

Perhan: I'll count to three, then you're off.

Yek! Duy! Trin!

Go!

Player: Er... no.

Perhan: We don't send out engraved invites, gadjo.

Come back when you're ready.

Warmed up yet?

Geez, you the King's champion or what?! Well, that'd explain why you're so unprepared. Here's a tip:

It's better to stop smart than run dumb.

Player: What do you mean?

Perhan: It means that it's not the fastest runner who wins, but the smartest.

Think about that and come back when you're ready.

OBJECTIVE: Win the Tournament.

OBJECTIVE: Find Saban.

archers_brothers_confrontation_1_dlg.sloc:

I enter Saban's room. Barging in, without knocking. I start to talk before I see Saban.

Player: Saban? You won–

I cut off, because inside I see Saban, who is passionately kissing Miriam. She tries to push him away

Mirriam: Stop!! No!!

Saban relaxes when he sees me. But Miriam still holds him back.

Saban: Relax, Miriam. We have a guest. My friend and champion, Aiden!

After he wins the finals, I'm going to make him Captain of the Guard.

The door bangs open

Django: Saban, you fucking cheat, your gadjo ran across the rooftops, in a fair race he'd–

Django enters the room. Seeing Miriam, Django freezes.

Django: Miriam?! What's she doing here?!

Saban: She's my future queen.

Django looks - Miriam runs out, weeping

Django: You slime... you took the crown... now you're taking my fiancée–

Saban: Ex-fiancée.

Django: Is this you trying to humiliate me? Is that what this is?

Django rushes at Saban in a rage. Saban grabs his ornate dagger with a characteristic haft. Carmen enters the room.

Carmen: Stop it! Both of you! At once!

Carmen stands between Django and Saban. Saban still holds the dagger in his hand.

Carmen: You're brothers! Bound by blood. Act like it!

Saban still holds the dagger in his hand. He looks threatening.

Django: Look at what he's doing, Mother! How can you allow this?

Saban: Django's crying to mommy again. Typical.

Carmen: Stop it! Saban, put your shuri away! Wait on the terrace. Django, leave.

Django goes to the exit. Saban is unhappy but puts the dagger away and goes out onto the rooms terrace.

Django: Best be careful during the finals, gadjo.

A man could get hurt during these races…

Carmen is left alone with me in the room. She looks me over carefully.

Carmen: Thank you. You must win. It's the only way to help Saban and Django.

Player: Don't think it will help Django much…

Carmen: It will save his life.

Player: How?

Carmen: Do you believe in fate, Aiden? In curses? When I was a girl, I had a dream. I saw the blood of a king, spilled by a light-haired person…

And the murdered king in my dream, he was one of my sons.

Player: The light-haired killer... that was Saban?

Carmen: You see what he's like. Hot-headed. Vain. Jealous.

You see, if Django took the throne, Saban would surely kill him. And fulfil the terrible prophecy.

Player: That's why you chose Saban as king?

Carmen: You think I don't know Django would be a better ruler?

He's stronger, older... but this was the only way to break the curse.

Otherwise, Django would die, and I'd lose two sons…

Because as a murderer, Saban would be disgraced. A famoso.

Stay by his side, Aiden... you are a positive influence on Saban…

Help me break this curse and perhaps your fate too shall be avoided…

archers_fortune_telling_dlg.sloc:

If I walk up to Carmen.

Player: Hold on a minute. You mentioned my fate. What did you mean by that?

Carmen: You have a good heart. I see that.

But you are also cursed.

Player: Uhh, well…

Haven't had it easy, sure, but ‘cursed'...?

Carmen: I see your destiny, Aiden. If you want, I can tell it to you.

PLAYER CHOICE: I agree. / I don't agree.

Player: Okay... I'll listen.

Carmen walks up. She puts a hand on my shoulder. I see the whites of her eyes. She starts to tremble.

Carmen: You seek a girl…

A girl who lives in your dreams.

Player: Mia!

Carmen takes more deep breaths. Her vision goes on.

Player: Is she.... is she alive?

Carmen doesn't answer. She mutters under her breath.

Carmen: Yes. And that's your curse.

Player: Impossible. I have to find her!

Carmen: You will. But you will pay a terrible price.

After a moment, Carmen ‘returns' to normal. Her breathing calms

Carmen: I'm sorry.

Player: Thank you, Your Majesty, but maybe…

It's something for me to discover on my own.

Carmen: Perhaps that is for the best…

As you wish. Your fate is already sealed at any rate.

OBJECTIVE: Talk to Saban.

archers_young_brother_before_finals_dlg.sloc:

If I walk up to Saban. NEAR.

Saban: Fucking mama's boy. Always had everything handed to him.

Saban sighs

Saban: Fuck, I had to steal my first dagger, while Mommy bought him a new one every year.

He shows me his distinct-looking dagger. Saban gives me another set of ribbons.

Saban: But my time will come. Tomorrow, in fact.

You start under the arch. I’ll be waiting at the finish line.

You'd better win.

archers_finals_dlg.sloc:

I go to the starting line of the race. This time, the start is where the qualifying round ended.

Vano: How you feeling, gadjo?

Player: Optimistic.

Vano: Till this morning, I would’ve bet on you myself.

Odds were 2 to 1 in favor of your victory.

Player: What changed since this morning?

Vano: A new favorite entered the race.

Player: Who?

Vano: Django. He ran right before you.

But I still have faith in you. You've grown on me.

(quieter)

Vano: Just don’t tell the other Nomads…

Player: Thanks for the kind words…

Vano: Thank me with a victory! When Django entered the race, the odds jumped to 4 to 1 against you!

You win, and I earn a great deal. Understand me?

Player: I win, you win big. Got it. I'll do my best.

Vano: Not just your best, your all, gadjo!

I walk up to the starting line. Perhan greets me with a nod.

Perhan: Ready?

Yek, duy, trin!

OBJECTIVE: Win the Tournament.

archers_congratulations_gpl.sloc:

I pass the finish line and win the race. I hear congratulations from the onlookers.

Archer 01: Bravo! What a performance!

Archer 02: This gadjo runs like a ćhevo!

Archer 03: Comes outta nowhere and runs circles around our best!

Archer 04: Saban struck gold with this kid!

archers_finals_after_dlg.sloc:

I tie the last ribbon. I win the race. The crowd roars. From a speaker comes joyful Nomad music.

Vano: You did it! Way to go, kid! We won!

Player: The final supposed to be like running a gauntlet?

Vano: Gauntlet? What're talking about?

Player: Some check points were hidden in darkness, archers shot at me…

Vano: Strange, that's very strange what you say, gadjo... nothing like it ever happened before.

Player: Guess somebody really didn't want me to win.

Vano: I told you, they were paying 4 to 1 odds.

Fine. Doesn't matter. Now watch: Miriam will sing to the victor.

That means you, gadjo!

The stage where Miriam sang - is empty. Everyone is waiting for her performance. But Miriam doesn't step on stage. The accordionist builds the tension with music. Silence.

Vano: C'mon, where is she?

Player: Seen Saban anywhere around here?

Vano: He was here momentarily, then went back to his base.

Player: He was supposed to wait for me.

Vano: Maybe something happened. He left in a big hurry.

Ran almost as fast as you.

archers_chatterscenes_elections_aftes:

I walk through the Triumphal Arch. People cheer in my honor.

Archer Woman 02: Long live Aiden! Long live Saban!

Archer Woman 04: Young king, young champion! May they guide us to glory!

Archer Woman 03: Like I always said, Saban may be a young'un, but he's more than cut out to be king!

Archer Woman 01: He's not fit to wipe my ass! That gadjo cheated!

Django is our real king!

I continue walking through the arch. Residents applaud me - from their terraces / balconies they toss flowers?

Archer 02: Long live Saban! Long live our king!

Archer Woman 02: And his gadjo, swift as lightning!

Archer 02: He's no gadjo, he's one of us now!

I continue walking through the triumphal arch. I hear more conversations.

Archer 05: Sure it was just a race, but you know what they say…

Archer 06: Every great leader has won the race before his coronation! For hundreds of years!

Archer 05: Long live Saban and Aiden! Our future!

archers_brothers_confrontation_2_dlg.sloc:

I enter Saban's room. Inside I see Saban, Django, Carmen and also Lawan.

Django: It's all your fault! For bringing this damn gadjo into our lives.

Saban: Right. Blame it all on me. Like always. You gonna go running to mommy now to tell!

Player: Lawan! You're finally here! What happened?

Django: ‘Disappeared' - pff! Kidnapped by renegades, you mean!

I warned you! I told you they'd seek revenge.

You're responsible for this, Saban!

Carmen: Django! This is no time for petty quarrels. We must find her.

Together.

Django: If it was the renegades, they've probably deflowered her by now. Repeatedly.

I'll kill you for that... you disgusting–

Saban: Please do keep up the threats, dear brother.

Because tomorrow I'll be king and have you hanged for them.

Django: You'll never be king!

The way you treat Miriam. The way you speak of her even now. For that, you'll always be a disgrace.

Saban violently lurches toward Django and pulls out his knife again

Saban: Get out!

Django prepares for a fight, but Carmen stands in his way

Carmen: Django, no. Calm yourself... you know better. Stand down... please.

Django backs down

Django: Only because you ask, mother.

Django leaves the room.

Saban: Cowards always run.

Carmen: Silence, you fool! Raising your hand against your brother! Shameful!

Saban: But he insulted me, mother. I'm the king, aren't I? He can't–

Carmen: You're a bastard!

Saban: What?

Carmen: The Nomad King was not your father.

Not a drop of his blood flows through your veins.

Saban: Mother, what are you–

Carmen doesn't answer, she walks in a rage to the door and goes after Django.

archers_young_brother_after_finals_dlg.sloc:

I’m left in the room with Saban and Lawan. Saban is furious. If possible, he should toss his dagger into the wall.

Saban: Why does she hate me?

What did I do to her?

He tosses his characteristic dagger into the wall. He walks up to rip it out.

Saban: Django's behind all this!

Saban leaves. Lawan remains.

Player: Think Django kidnapped her?

Lawan: No. Django would never do something like that.

I’ve known them since we were kids…

Player: So maybe you know where to find Miriam?

Lawan: Maybe… The arekipe.

Player: Where?

Lawan: Arekipe. Our secret hideouts.

When we were kids and shit came down, we’d hide where the elders couldn’t find us.

One arekipe was in the junkyard, the other in the abandoned residence. Which do you want to search?

PLAYER CHOICE: Junkyard. / Abandoned residence.

Player: I’ll search the junkyard.

Lawan: Fine, I’ll check the residence. Contact me if you find anything.

Player: I’ll search the residence.

Lawan: Fine, I’ll check the junkyard. Contact me if you find anything.

Lawan: Hurry, Aiden.

We have to find her before these two numbnuts kill each other.

archers_chatters_before_the_scene_gpl.sloc:

Archer 01: You heard? Miriam’s disappeared!

Archer 02: Disappeared? When? I saw her just yesterday.

Archer 01: Maybe renegades abducted Miriam.

Archer 04: Renegades? Maybe. Or PKs. They're just common thugs in uniforms anyway.

Archer 03: I hope she's safe, and found quickly!

Archer 02: If anything's happened to Miriam, I blame "king" Saban!

Archers_chatterscenes_junkyard_cars (Junkyard path):

I reach the scrapyard. I see it is a renegade camp. I hear screaming and wailing from the delivery cars.

Archer Woman 03: Help! Someone!!! Help me!!

Anyone! Please, save me...!

Archer Woman 04: Quiet, you want them to find us?!

I move toward the car where the crying is coming from

I hear crying and wailing from another car.

Archer Woman 05: They’ll kill us. We’ll all die.

Archer Woman 06: I don’t want to die! Please!

I hear crying and wailing from another car.

Archer Woman 07: Gods, have mercy, gods, have mercy…

Archer Woman 08: Somebody, please, save us!

OBJECTIVE: Conquer the Renegades' camp.

archers_junkyard_no_success_gpl.sloc:

I check the cars one by one. There are survivors in them, not Miriam. I contact Lawan over the radio.

Player: Didn’t find Miriam. Just some survivors.

Lawan: That’s all?

Player: Well, renegades, too. But they’re gone.

Lawan: Okay, no need to brag…

Just come help me at the residence.

I can’t get inside.

Archers_girl_found_dlg.sloc (Residence path. This scene will also take place after the player visits the Junkyard first):

I find Miriam in the place where she would play with Lawan.

Player: Miriam! You're alright?

Mirriam: I'm fine. Now leave me alone.

Player: Lawan, I found her.

Lawan: Hang on, coming!

Player: What are you doing here?

Mirriam: I'm just here for the night, then I'll keep going.

Player: And leave Saban behind?

Mirriam: Why not? I don't love him. Never did.

Player: What about Django?

Mirriam: What about him? What makes you think this is about them at all? Ever consider that this might be about me?

I don't care any more about those two than they ever really cared about me.

Player: But they were at each other's throats over you!

Mirriam: Please. They were fighting over their adolescent pride. Me?

I'm a prize, proof that one can have better toys than the other. They care nothing for me.

Lawan appears in the room.

Lawan: Miriam, we go way back. I know the men in your life haven't been the most gentle or reliable.

And these two are raging idiots, to be sure, but…

Mirriam: I’m not going back!

Lawan: If you don't, one or both of them is going to end up dead. Is that what you want?

Mirriam: How could you put this on me? I just want to be free of all this.

Freedom is all Nomads desire. Do I not deserve this?

Please. Let me go.

I'd rather die than go back there…

PLAYER CHOICE: I take Miriam to the arch. / I let Miriam go.

Player: Sorry, the stakes are too high.

Lawan: He's right, Miriam.

C'mon, let's go home.

Player: We won't force you.

It's your choice. You're free to go.

Mirriam: Thanks. I'll pray for you - to all the gods.

Miriam walks off to the side, I'm left with Lawan.

Lawan: I get you're a big softie and treat women like people and not accessories. Good on you for that.

But this is a shitty idea.

Player: Why?

Lawan: Because being right is less important than lives.

And those idiots will kill each other.

Player: We'll tell them the truth: Miriam doesn't want either of them. Then they'll have nothing to fight about.

Lawan: Wrong again, Aiden. We'll just tell Saban we didn't find any trace of Miriam.

Player: Okay. So let's go back.

Lawan: Go. I'll make sure Miriam is safe.

archers_depressed_mother_dlg.sloc:

I walk into Saban's headquarters, but his room is empty. I find devastated Carmen there. The woman is crying.

Carmen: Aiden...?

Forgive me.

Player: What's wrong, your majesty?

Carmen: I thought I could change fate…

So old and so stupid.

Player: Nothing's happened yet.

Carmen: It happened, oh, it happened. The curse is beyond time.

And it's coming true.

Player: We found Miriam. This will help.

Carmen: My sons have always hated each other. But it is over Miriam that they have finally come to blows!

It is because of her that the curse will come true

Player: Unfortunately, we found no trace of Miriam.

Carmen: They will continue to blame each other.

Hatred will spread like poison, until the curse is fulfilled.

Player: I don't believe in curses.

Carmen: You should. Because the girl you are looking for is your fate... your curse…

And it will destroy you.

Give me your hand.

I give her my hand. Carmen pierces my skin. And again - she reads blood.

Suddenly the chamber disappears. I'm in the forest. It's the Black Forest, but I don't know about it yet.

AIDEN'S VISION - BLACK FOREST

A bit ahead of me ... a woman is walking! She's grown up, but has the same clothes as little Mia in the flashbacks. Same hair color.

(Off.)

Carmen: You will find her. But you will no longer recognize her…

I keep running after Mia, who suddenly stops. She turns her face. I can see her. She's beautiful.

Carmen: And when you meet, you will not know yourself anymore…

(Off.)

Mia reaches out to me. I almost grab her hand, but then a SCREAM.

Mia_Adult: Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

(Off.)

I wake up from the vision. I'm alone. There is no sign of Carmen. I run outside. It's early morning.

The Fall Of Saban (Quest plays out if Mirriam returns to the Arch):

archers_younger_brother_dead_dlg.sloc:

Archer Woman 01: He fell ... Flew from the tower!

If Miriam has returned. I am running under the tiumphal arch. On the ground lies ... the body of SABAN. Just under the triumphal arch. At the edge - there is a Woman standing in shock. Next to her, the Ranger, Django and other onlookers.

Dorman: I saw him leave his chamber last night.

Player: Was he with anyone?

Dorman: Alone. And he seemed sad.

I congratulated him on the race and he didn't reply.

As if he didn't hear me.

And today was supposed to be his coronation. The new king.

Django: There will be a coronation. I will become king.

Dorman: But -

Django: Of course, we'll bury my brother first.

Player: You think it's an accident?

Django: Suicide, more likely. Saban was weak in spirit.

Player: Weird.

Django: To you, gadjo, everything Nomad is weird.

Do not worry. I am aware of your deal.

I'll send you to our warehouse. You will find what you were looking for, take it and go.

Django leaves. Moments later Miriam and Lawan appear next to me. Miriam in tears.

Mirriam: Saban! Saban…

What happened?! Who did this to him ?!

Player: Apparently he jumped from the tower …

Mirriam: Saban wouldn't do that!

Not now. Not when he was about to become king!

This was the moment he dreamed about. It makes no sense…

Miriam stops, starts sobbing.

Lawan: We should look into this, if there's any chance this wasn't suicide…

PLAYER CHOICE: It's not my business. / I'll take care of it.

Player: It's a Nomad thing. They don't need a gadjo interfering. I'm going to the warehouse.

Player: Let's. This smells rotten to me, too. Let's investigate.

archers_vendor_dlg.sloc:

I go to Merchant Danior.

Player: Django gave me permission to enter the warehouse.

Danior: To get you out of here as soon as possible.

Player: Hey. He's clearly not a fan. Oh well…

Danior: But maybe there's another reason... so that you don't look into Saban's final flight.

Player: Why would I do that?

Danior: I was, as you say, not a fan of Saban. He would have made a terrible king. Yet, I cannot believe he took his own life.

Find the truth... and I will reward you with something additional of value from the warehouse.

(The player makes the same choice as before, but no matter what he picks you are tasked with investigating Saban’s death.)

archers_investigation_start_dlg.sloc (Plays out immediately if player chooses to investigate. Also plays out afterwards if the play chooses to go straight to the Warehouse.):

I go back to the arch. I go over to Lawan.

Player: You're right. Saban wouldn't kill himself.

We have to do something about this.

Lawan: I agree. Let's find the murderer who pushed him.

Let's start with Saban's quarters, maybe there are some clues there…

The queen'll want the fiend strung up by the balls in front of everyone.

OBJECTIVE: Search Saban's chamber for clues.

archers_tfos_repaired_doors_pre.sloc:

Going in - I can see quite a mess. Spilled wax.

Player: What a mess!

I notice a shoe mark in the wax.

Player: A footprint…

archers_tfos_repaired_doors_dlg.sloc:

I follow the traces of wax and reach a door where a man is standing.

Player: What are you doing here?

Archer 04: I'm fixing the door, someone broke the lock last night.

Player: Who?

Archer 04: I'm a locksmith, not a clairvoyant. My guess is that someone without a key tried to get in.

Player: Or get out …

archers_tfos_repaired_doors_after_gpl.sloc:

I contact Lawan on the radio.

Player: I think I found something.

Lawan: Told ya, didn't I?

I'm at the bar. Meet me here.

OBJECTIVE: Meet Lawan.

archers_tfos_first_clues_after_dlg.sloc:

I talk to Lawan at the bar.

Player: Anyone seen Saban leave?

Lawan: At least a few witnesses. He left through the main entrance.

Player: The lock on the second door was broken. Someone other from Saban came through here.

Any idea who that might be?

Lawan: Hell, it could be anyone.

Player: That doesn't narrow it down very much.

Lawan: Talk to Carmen. Maybe she saw something …

Or she will see something in her visions. She really has a gift.

Player: Okay. I'll go look for her.

OBJECTIVE: Talk with Carmen.

archers_tfos_fortune_telling_before_dlg.sloc:

Carmen is standing over the precipice - where her son fell. She holds a candle / torch in her hands. When I approach - she drops it down / or puts a candle like in a cemetery.

Player: Your majesty, sorry to bother you at a time like this…

But... someone was in your son's room last night.

Honestly concerned.

Carmen: Someone... else?

Player: There are no witnesses. But perhaps your visions…

Have they shown you anything?

Carmen: I haven't tried. I've been too afraid but... you're right. I must try.

I must have blood for divination …

The blood of my boy.

Player: I'll collect it.

Carmen: I will also need some herb for the censer.

Roselle. It grows on the border with the flooded district.

Player: I'll bring you what you need.

OBJECTIVE: Bring Herbs to Carmen

OBJECTIVE: Return to Carmen.

archers_tfos_entrance_to_arc_closed_dlg.sloc:

I go back to the triumphal arch with the herbs and Saban's blood. The guard blocks the entrance. Lawan next to him.

Dorman: Sorry, my friend, I can't let you in.

Player: Why is that?

Dorman: Order from King Django -

Lawan: Django's no king. He's an arsehole. What's this about?

Dorman: Please, friends. I'm just following orders.

Lawan: Come on, Aiden, we need to talk.

Lawan jumps down from a container with the Guard and a winch on it - she goes several meters away from the guard.

archers_tfos_entrance_to_arc_closed_after_dlg.sloc:

I go to Lawan. She points to the top.

Lawan: See that window over there? Those're Django's quarters.

We have to get up there and ask him what the fuck–

Player: You think he's hiding something?

Lawan: Fuckin' right I do.

Besides, it's the only way to get the key code.

OBJECTIVE: Climb to Django's chamber.

archers_tfos_investigation_comments.sloc:

I search Django's room. I notice a photo - young Django and Saban, standing hugged.

Player: To think those two ever got along…

I search Django's room. I find a lock of blonde hair.

Player: This looks like Saban's hair.

I search Django's room. I find a picture of Saban. Someone drew unknown symbols on it in blood.

Player: Someone's been working magic here…

I search Django's room. I find a small altar. Several candles in a circle, among them - Saban's knife.

Player: It's Saban's knife!

archers_tfos_final_confrontation_dlg.sloc:

As I pick up the Saban's knife (USE), Django enters the room. Seeing me, he stops dead.

Django: What are you doing here?

Player: Exposing a murderous king who's killed his brother!

Django: How dare you! I didn't kill Saban!

Player: Is that why you prevented me from entering the Arch?

Django: I don't like you, gadjo, but I haven't stopped you from going anywhere…

Player: What about Saban's knife? Why is it in your room?

Django: This is not a knife, but a shuri.

Every Nomad gets one on initiation.

I took it after Saban died.

If a Nomad dies, his Shuri must remain in the family.

Tradition.

Player: What does tradition say about fratricide?

Django starts walking towards me. There will be a fight. Suddenly Carmen enters the room.

Carmen: Django! Enough.

Django: But mother -

Carmen: You are a good son. Listen to me one last time.

after a while

Carmen: I was the one who ordered you to leave.

Player: You? But... why?

Carmen: Because I knew you'd uncover the truth.

Player: If Django killed Saban, you can't protect him.

Carmen: He didn't kill him.

Pause

Carmen: I did.

Django: What?! That can't be...!

Carmen: I killed Saban to protect you -

Django: From who?

Carmen: From yourself.

Patient as you are, Saban's provocations would have broken you down. The prophecy would be fulfilled.

You would end up in disgrace. A famoso.

Player: But didn't your vision have it the other way around? Saban was supposed to kill Django.

Carmen: No. The vision showed a blonde figure murdering the king …

Carmen picks up a handful of her gray hair.

Carmen: Blonde. Gray. All the same to the fates. So the prophecy was about me.

I was the one who pushed Saban from the tower.

Django: You must flee, mother. Otherwise, I'll have to…

Carmen: I know ... I know son …

I am the disgraced one.

Carmen leaves the room. Django devastated - leaves the other exit - the other way. I'm left alone. After a while I get in touch with Lawan.

(radio)

Player: Lawan. I know the whole story. Are you sitting down?

Lawan: Of course not. I'm running! What did you find out?

Player: I'll tell you, but you're better off sitting…

Carmen killed Saban.

Lawan: She killed her own son? But why?!

Player: To lift a curse. Only... she fulfilled it.

Lawan: Fuck me. I am gonna sit down. For a drink.

Player: Get in touch with me later. I'm going to the warehouse.

archers_tfos_vendor_after_investigation_dlg.sloc:

I stand in front of Danior at the entrance to the warehouse.

Danior: Mothers are supposed to be every Nomad's best friend. Good job, friend.

Sad, though. I would never have expected Carmen to do such a thing.

Player: She'd seen it in a vision.

Danior: She's always been a powerful seer. Predicted my father would die of a heart attack.

Though the way he ate and drank, you didn't need spirits to tell you how he'd end up.

Player: So... I'm looking for a GRE terminal.

Danior: As promised, you're welcome to it. And anything else that catches your eye.

archers_world_change_django_dlg.sloc:

I go into the room and find the decoder. I plug in the power cord, run the terminal, and insert the cube.

After downloading the codes, I see a video of the color change on the arch. Django's coronation is about to begin. The crowd cheers.You can hear shouts.

Archer 01: Long live the king!

Archer Woman 01: Long live Django!

(QUEST END).

The Fall Of Django (Quest plays out if Mirriam is let go.):

archers_older_brother_dead_dlg.sloc:

If Miriam DIDN'T come back. I run under the triumphal arch. On the ground lies ... DJANGO's body. Right under the triumphal arch. A WOMAN next to him. She found the body and that's why she screamed - now she's in shock. Next to her, the Ranger, Saban and other onlookers.

Archer Woman 01: He fell ... Flew from the tower!

Player: Was he with anyone?

Dorman: I saw him leave his chamber last night.

Alone. And he seemed upset. Probably about Saban.

Today was supposed to be the coronation…

Saban: It will take place as scheduled. Of course, we'll bury my dear brother first.

What a pity that he succumbed to his demons.

Player: You believe he killed himself?

Saban: You saw for yourself that he couldn't accept not becoming king. His lust for power drove him mad.

But you need not worry. Our contract is still valid.

You may enter the warehouse and take what you came here for.

Saban leaves. A moment later Lawan appears next to me

Lawan: Django ... You asshole, who did this to you?

Player: So, you don't think he did this to himself?

Miriam stops, starts sobbing.

Lawan: Django? Django was solid. Focused. Ambitious.

He would never, ever give up …

We should look into this. No way Django committed suicide...

PLAYER CHOICE: It's not my business. / I'll take care of it.

Player: It's a Nomad thing. They don't need a gadjo interfering. I'm going to the warehouse.

Player: Let's. This smells rotten to me, too. Let's investigate.

archers_vendor_dlg.sloc:

Player: Saban is allowing me to search the warehouse.

Danior: To get you out of here as soon as possible.

Player: What? He doesn’t like me after all?

Oh well. I’ll live.

Danior: Perhaps Saban doesn’t want you looking into his brother's death.

Player: Why would I?

Danior: Django was a pompous ass. No friend of mine. But I cannot believe his death was an accident.

Find the truth… and I will reward you with something of additional value from the warehouse.

(The player makes the same choice as before, but no matter what he picks you are tasked with investigating Django’s death.)

archers_investigation_start_dlg.sloc (Plays out immediately if player chooses to investigate. Also plays out afterwards if the play chooses to go straight to the Warehouse.):

I go back to the arch. I go over to Lawan.

Player: You're right. Django wouldn't kill himself.

We have to do something about this.

Lawan: I agree. Let's find the murderer who pushed him.

Let's start with Django’s quarters, maybe there are some clues there…

The queen'll want the fiend strung up by the balls in front of everyone.

OBJECTIVE: Search Django's chamber for clues.

archers_tfod_investigation_comments:

Using the Survival Sense, I check various items in Django's room. I find a picture of Saban. Someone drew unknown symbols on it in blood.

Player: Someone's been working magic here…

I continue searching Django's room. I find a lock of Saban's hair.

Player: Saban's hair. Why would Django have this?

I keep searching Django's room. I find Saban's knife.

Player: Saban's knife.

I find a small altar: a few candles in a circle. In the center, an inscription in blood: SABAN.

Player: And everyone said Django was so even-keeled…

Player: Django clearly wanted his brother dead.

Did Saban throw Django from the tower while he was defending himself?

When I look at the altar marked "SABAN" in blood, Carmen enters the room, she is crying.

Carmen: What are you doing here?

PLAYER CHOICE: I'm looking into Django's death. / I'm checking if it's really suicide.

Player: I'm looking into Django's death.

Player: Seeing if it really was a suicide... or murder.

Carmen: I've been afraid to see but... perhaps my visions can reveal something.

But I need an herb for the censer.

Roselle. It grows on the border with the flooded district.

And also…

Blood…

My boy's blood.

Player: I'll bring you what you need.

OBJECTIVE: Bring Herbs to Carmen.

OBJECTIVE: Return to Carmen.

archers_tfod_entrance_to_arc_closed_dlg.sloc:

I go back to the triumphal arch with the herbs and Saban's blood. The guard blocks the entrance. Lawan next to him.

Dorman: Sorry, my friend, I can't let you in.

Player: Why not?

Dorman: Order from the future king. Saban has decreed that you are no longer welcome here.

Lawan: He ain't no king, he's a fuckin' prick!

Dorman: My friends, no need for foul language, please. I'm just following orders.

Lawan: Aiden, we need to talk.

Lawan jumps down from a container with the Guard and a winch on it.

archers_tfod_entrance_to_arc_closed_after_dlg.sloc:

I walk over to Lawan.

Lawan: We have to get up to Saban's chamber and take out that piece of shit.

Player: Or he takes us out. Sounds like we're on his hit list.

Lawan: Yeah, well, see how he likes being on our shit list!

Besides, it's the only way to get the key code.

Can you make it up there?

Player: Mighty as well try.

OBJECTIVE: Get to Saban's chamber.

archers_tfod_younger_brother_singing_gpl.sloc:

I parkour-climb and enter Saban's chamber through the window. I can hear singing coming from the dressing room.

He sings.

Saban: Kiiiing, sweet as wine, good as bread…

He sings.

Saban: My Kiiiing, by Nomad songs may your praise be spread…

archers_tfod_younger_brother_confrontation_dlg.sloc:

I walk into the wardrobe. Saban leaps to his feet when he sees me

Saban: What are you doing here?

Very harshly.

Player: Sit. Stay.

Saban: Fucking gadjo. Are you mad ??

Player: You killed Django.

Saban: He took Miriam from me! He deserved to be punished.

Player: Still on that stupid idea? Idiot! Django didn't kidnap her.

Saban: No?!

Player: She ran off. On her own. Tired of being caught between you and your brother.

Saban: You're lying, gadjo... Miriam loved me... And Django deserved to die.

He wanted to kill me …

And there is one punishment for attempting to assassinate a king!

Player: Believe what you want, but you killed an innocent man.

Lawan enters the room.

Lawan: Knock knock, Saban. You got some guests outside, just dyin' to meet you.

Saban: Wait. Aiden... You can take what you were looking for. And just leave. It can end here.

In matters like this, you are still a gadjo, a foreigner. And I am my people's king. You cannot prevail.

Lawan: Think you can get away with murder cuz you're the king? Who knew a twerp like you could be full of so much shit.

Come on Aiden. Meet us in the hallway…

Lawan begins to leave. I talk to Saban.

Player: Don’t you fucking move.

archers_tfod_final_confrontation_dlg.sloc:

I leave the room behind Lawan. Lawan and a group of Nomads wait outside the door.

Archer 05: It's him, right?

Saban killed his own brother?!

Archer 06: We'll show him what happens to famosos!

Archer 05: He'll regret the day he was born. Or that he didn't jump from the tower himself.

(Off.)

I notice Carmen has appeared in the crowd. She squeezes towards me.

Archer 06: What? My queen, what are you talking about!

Archer 05: It cannot be, my queen. Even your own son is not worth such a sacrifice! Saban must pay!

PLAYER CHOICE: I confirm Carmen's version. / I tell the truth and leave Saban to their fate.

Player: She's telling the truth. The queen killed Django.

Archer 06: How could you? Your own son!

Archer 05: What could make a mother kill her own child?

Archer 06: Seize her!

Player: Queen, I understand you want to protect Saban. But he killed his brother.

He must be punished.

Archer 05: I knew it! Seize him!

Goes to the door.

Carmen: Saban ... Open up my son ... It's me.

It is done ... You cannot turn the tide.

Archer 06: Saban, we're coming for you, murdering coward!

Archer 05: You will hang, Famoso!

The door opens. Carmen walks in. The nomads walk in behind her. You can hear the sounds of a fight and Saban moaning.

Saban: Aaaahh!!! Stay baaccckkk!!! I'm the King... the kiiiinnnggg!!!

OBJECTIVE: Go to Gypsy Merchant.

archers_tfod_vendor_after_investigation_dlg.sloc:

I stand in front of Danior at the warehouse entrances.

Danior: Mothers are supposed to be every Nomad's best friend. Who would have thought?

Player: Will you let me in, now?

Danior: A deal is a deal, Gadjo. Be my guest.

Saban's always been such a weakling. Who knew he had the strength to kill his own brother?

I stand in front of Danior at the warehouse entrances.

Player: Carmen. She saw it in a vision.

Danior: She's always been a powerful seer. Predicted my father would die of a heart attack.

Though the way he ate and drank, you didn't need spirits to tell you how he'd end up.

Player: Will you let me in, now?

Danior: It's the king who made you a promise. And that king is gone.

And so, it's strictly business now.

You want to enter, you must pay.

(The player can make a choice between paying $500 or coming back later. It always plays out the same, as you have to pay the $500.)

Player: Strictly business, huh? Here's the money.

Danior: And I thank you for your business. Now, be my guest.

Archers_world_change_saban_dlg.sloc (If Carmen is killed by the Nomads, and Saban lives.):

I go into the room and find the decoder. I plug in the power cord, turn on the terminal, insert the cube.

After downloading the codes, I see a video of the color change on the arch. Saban's coronation is about to begin. The crowd cheers. Shouts can be heard.

Archer 01: Long live the king!

Archer Woman 01: Long live Saban!

(QUEST END).

She-Wolf:

A main quest mentioned in the story draft, taking place in R06 (The Citadel Region). Other old objectives indicate it may have involved sneaking into the Citadel to speak to She-Wolf. She-Wolf is a cut character, the leader of a group of Nightrunners.

Another Way To Die/Another Day To Die:

An important quest during the Central Loop section of the 2019 story. Surprisingly, this is the real version of the quest seen in the E3 2019 gameplay demo. It involved Aiden and Frank meeting Juan and Matt at the Canteen, to organize a peace meeting between all factions in The City. The quest seemingly played out in exactly the same way as it did in the trailer, however was not about water.

Stop The Revolution:

Another quest mentioned in the story draft, this quest was a part of the main story and took place in R02 (Central Loop).

Surprise:

A quest with a few remaining prefabs for it. I am unsure where it would take place in the main story, so I have placed it at the end of the list. It involved Hakon at the Canteen, there are many dead Peacekeepers lying around.

DIALOGUE NAMES:

Sunny Side of Hell:

A main quest taking place in REG07 (Currently unsure what exactly region 7 was, it was most likely the old area that X-13 was in.), a mention of it is mentioned in the story draft. Possibly taking place around the same time as the X-13 quest.

Mother:

An important quest near the end of the game, possibly part of the epilogue. Also mentioned in REG07, “Mother” is mentioned in objectives for the old epilogue. Possibly the final quest in the game. Based on the inclusion of Aiden’s mother in the game's old prologue, it’s possible that this “Mother” at the end of the game is Aiden’s.

Traitor:

This quest was seemingly important in the main story, but it’s unclear what exactly it was about. All that is known is that it began with Aiden meeting someone at a windmill, and then following Hank’s blood trail. Also fighting Renegades at a skyscraper bandit camp. I have placed it at the end as I am unsure when it would take place. Some removed dialogue names exist, along with an atlas that shows every character involved.

A Bag For The Back:

A quest with only a few building prefabs and general logic. It involved the player infiltrating a clothing shop dark zone with a demolisher inside in order to retrieve travel bags.

The Abyss:

The Abyss was a quest involving Survivors, Nomads and Peacekeepers. Unfortunately there is no dialogue left for the quest, but there are a few prefabs. The quest involved a camp built in a military outpost that could be assigned to Nomads, Survivors or Peacekeepers. It was most likely Nomads by default. The quest involved Peacekeepers deserters who leave to go and help wounded Nomads at the camp. They most likely assign Aiden to go and look for medicine in large silos.

Big Heart:

The Big Heart quest was a simple quest in which Manfred’s mother goes missing. Aiden goes and searches a dark zone and finds her looking after 3 teenagers.

big_heart_start_dlg.sloc:

Manfred: Mommy!! Mommy!!!

Player: Looking for your mother, are you?

Manfred: Yeah, I woke up... and she was gone!

I had a terrible dream last night. There was this monster. It was after my mother.

At least, I thought it was a dream, but then I woke up.

Breakfast wasn't ready. She wasn't at home.

Mommy!! Mommy!!!

Mom, where are you?!

Where'd you go, mommy?!

Mommy, noooo!

What should I do... mommy…

MAAAAAAAAMEEEEEE!!!!!

Then I realized... it was real... a monster took my mommy!!

Player: It's okay, tell me about this... monster.

Manfred: I only remember bits and pieces: it had like six eyes, blood between its teeth... all this crazed laughter…

Player: Sounds terrifying. Never heard of anything like it.

Manfred: I know... maybe it took her to the nearby video game arcade... “Player One”, I think.

adds

Manfred: Mommy used to say there's a bloodthirsty, three-headed beast in the arcade.

But the monster I saw had six eyes. That's gotta be what took my mommy!

Player: I'll take a look once it gets dark. Will you be okay in the meantime?

Manfred: I guess. But aren't you afraid of monsters?

Player: Of course. That's why I'm still alive!

big_heart_player_one_entrance_comm_gpl.sloc:

Manfreds Mom: Shh.

Player: Didn't mean to wake your... children. So... you weren't kidnapped?

Your... other... son is looking for you.

Manfreds Mom: -- shhhhh!!

Player: Wait... three boys... six eyes... this is the three-headed monster?

Manfreds Mom: Well... not really.

emphatic

Manfreds Mom: They're lost and scared. I'm just trying to comfort them.

Player: And the bandits outside? Where did they come from?

Manfreds Mom: I don't know.

But I was worried sick they'd find us. They must have seen me coming here to the boys.

Player: Those boys... they live here?

Manfreds Mom: Yes. The oldest one is Justin. He didn't have a biomarker. The Bazaar kicked him out.

His younger brothers decided to go with him. He's almost like a father to them.

Thank your for looking out for Manfred. Please tell him I'm okay and will be home soon.

Maybe I can get the boys to come with me. Manfred could some brothers.

A major cut questline that was originally going to be repurposed into the second DLC for the game. In 2023, Techland changed their minds and changed the story of the DLC somewhat, and renamed it to The New Frontier. All dialogue and objectives for the original Blood Diamonds were left in the files unused.

Short synopsis: Aiden is offered work in exchange for crystals by a diver named Svetlana. She asks Aiden to clear out a bandit camp for her. After doing so, he goes to find her at the Canteen, but instead finds George. The leader of the men Aiden killed, it turns out that the men Aiden killed were innocent Nomads. Aiden then confronts Svetlana, and can either agree to kill George, if he disagrees Svetlana tells the Nomads about what Aiden did. If Aiden agrees, he goes and finds George, and can either kill him or agree to collect evidence at the bottom of the river. If Aiden kills George, he returns to Svetlana and gets a reward, and the quest ends. If Aiden goes to collect evidence, he is captured by Divers, who steal the evidence. Aiden kills the Divers, and then Svetlana, taking the evidence and giving it to George. He explains to George that the crystals are made from bodies dissolved in the toxic water. The quest ends.

2 shady looking guys show up

Theif01: Svetlana! What? Your bodyguard take a night off?

Bet you got crystals with ya, though.

Svetlana pulls out a knife

Svetlana: Fuck off or die.

Walking up to the men

Player: There a problem?

Theif01: Crazy bitch. We were just looking for work…

The men back away. Svetlana puts her knife in her bag. I see there’s something sparkling in the bag, light streams out of it.

Player: Is everything all right?

Svetlana: Eh, same ol' same ol'!

Always got hyenas circling me. Mistakin' me for some wounded zebra.
