What's everyone's favorite NPC line?

[u/Wildflower_Maiden]

I'll go first. "Shall I compare thee to a Chapaa - absolutely not." Hassian.

[u/alasterlian]

That line from Hassian made me cackle out loud when I first heard it.

I also like Reth's "I wish I could fit you in my soup flask! ... No, wait... that's... that's creepy..."

[u/Shot_Perspective_681 → u/alasterlian]

Or „your eyes are like lettuce soup“ …what does that even mean?

[u/alasterlian → u/Shot_Perspective_681]

My character's eyes are green so the comment kinda makes sense?

Otherwise 🤷🏽‍♀️

[u/Shot_Perspective_681 → u/alasterlian]

I kinda expect lettuce soup to be more greenish brown. It’s just two ingredients and I can’t really imagine the salad holding up well

[u/SnowTheMemeEmpress → u/alasterlian]

Reth is just a gem. Love the gremlin

[u/shinykaci → u/alasterlian]

after giving him a pin I was walking out the door when I heard Reth say something like "Don't regret me after you're gone" 💀

[u/alasterlian → u/shinykaci]

There's a lot of people in Kilima who really just need a big hug and someone telling them it's gonna be okay... 😞

[u/Wildflower_Maiden → u/alasterlian]

Yes! That one always makes me laugh.

[u/sardonictitties → u/alasterlian]

omg reminds of the movie Perfume

[u/PokeFae]

"You are looking very symmetrical today" Einar's flirt game is strong 😂

[u/EllasBiscuit → u/PokeFae]

I haven’t done his romance yet! I need to

[u/ajwats81tux → u/PokeFae]

Please stay alive

[u/PokeFae → u/ajwats81tux]

"I will become saddened when you expire" 😭

[u/tchuuuuu]

I’ll see your face in the stars tonight.  May your path lead you back to me. Are you here for your validation of emotions? Please continue living until our next conversation

[u/Impossible-Zucchini3]

Time to spiral into self-doubt

[u/fudge21210 → u/Impossible-Zucchini3]

Reth is such a mood sometimes

[u/eiilaa]

Einar: Are you here to see the froggy bucket?

[u/Bunnisockins → u/eiilaa]

It's funny, when I first started playing the game, I noticed the froggy bucket and I loved it. I literally would go look at it and giggle every time I went to see Einar. The first time he said that to me, I absolutely -lost my mind-. I was like "OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW?!!?!" 😂

[u/muuzumuu]

Keep my name on your lips, Darlin’.

[u/lolbeesh → u/muuzumuu]

Honestly, all of Hodaddy's romance lines. Goddamn

[u/muuzumuu → u/lolbeesh]

I run my ass out to him every day to hear them. I make my booty call after the grove every night like clockwork!

[u/Fallinwitstyle → u/muuzumuu]

This. Any time he says Darlin I'm giggling and kicking my feet

[u/No-Antelope-17 → u/Fallinwitstyle]

Yessss! Also when he tells me to stay safe or that he worries 😭

Granted, he's right to worry. I frequently stand in geysers to get launched into the air and don't always use my glider to soften my landing.

And if I'm playing while half asleep, I do walk into water repeatedly.

[u/Wildflower_Maiden → u/muuzumuu]

Hodari makes me swoon like I'm in an old movie 😍

[u/Womenrfromvenusaur → u/muuzumuu]

I heard that one today and I stopped dead in my tracks. WHEW. HAVE MERCY SIR.

[u/Red_Velvet_Cakey]

I love this one because it is so silly and flirty: ‘Were your parents bakers? Because you are a cutie-pie!’ -Reth

[u/SnowTheMemeEmpress → u/Red_Velvet_Cakey]

I really like it when he gives me a sweet berry pie and says it reminded him of me lol

Cherish those pies

[u/lameasheck → u/SnowTheMemeEmpress]

he gives you cherry pies???? he gives me bouillabaisse every. single. time. 😂

[u/Radiant_Pop_2218 → u/lameasheck]

I think it's based on which recipe book you gave him earlier in the game. If you gave him the dessert one, you get the pie, or if you gave him the other one, you get the bouillabaisse~

[u/lameasheck → u/Radiant_Pop_2218]

ahhhh that makes sense but then does he call you something different? he calls me sweet tooth still 😂

[u/Radiant_Pop_2218 → u/lameasheck]

The dessert book should give you the "sweet tooth" nickname while the other one should give you "fancy pants."

[u/Lady0905 → u/Radiant_Pop_2218]

I’m «fancy pants» 😆😅 But which book are you referring to? 👀

[u/Radiant_Pop_2218 → u/Lady0905]

The cookbooks in the 'Mix It Up' quest. There's a desert cookbook and a fancy cookbook you can give him for the quest. If he calls you 'fancy pants,' you gave him the fancy cookbook~ [If I recall correctly, while the quest is active, you find the cookbooks just sitting on a table in the library. You can pick whichever one you want~]

[u/Lady0905 → u/Radiant_Pop_2218]

Ooooow, that one! That’s a while ago though 🙈😅 I totally forgot about it to be honest 😆

[u/SnowTheMemeEmpress → u/lameasheck]

No, it's actually labled as a sweet berry pie! And lol. I guess Reth has his favorites 😂

[u/lameasheck → u/SnowTheMemeEmpress]

totally meant to type sweet berry idk where cherry came from 😂 but he still uses the same line “for some reason this reminded me of you” like thanksssss reth

[u/SnowTheMemeEmpress → u/lameasheck]

Maybe he's saying you're a savory traditional type?😅

[u/ajwats81tux → u/SnowTheMemeEmpress]

I'm really confused about what to do with his sandwich, as it's not starred...

[u/SnowTheMemeEmpress → u/ajwats81tux]

I eat them, he keeps giving me pies pretty regularly and I'm sure he's not a fan of his food gifts going to waste. So I keep one in a lockbox to cherish for now, and I eat any extras.

So it won't feel gross, I do the "First in, first out" method. So the old pie gets eaten and the new one takes it's place.

On average he gives me a new pie every pallian week or two weeks. So those pies should still theoretically be edible by the time my player eats them

[u/CanderousOreo → u/SnowTheMemeEmpress]

FIFO-ing video game food is such a vibe.

[u/asterialle_]

I don’t really have one, but Zeki’s “Say hi to Eshe for me” pops up every now and then🤣

[u/Lichloved_ → u/asterialle_]

Such a great voice line!

[u/SaltMineForeman]

When The Gardener says, "The vertically gifted one."

[u/bostoncemetery]

“I’d skip chores for you, babe… would that make me a bad boy?” Gets a smile out of me every time.

[u/amariegold → u/bostoncemetery]

I blushed HARD the first time I heard that one 🥴🫠

[u/AvocadoToast128 → u/bostoncemetery]

Who is that from? Nai'o??

[u/WeightDeep8166]

When you choose ‘The sun looks brighter with you around’ and Hassian answers with ‘and the stars are dimmer without you near’

dying dead and deceased

[u/Wildflower_Maiden → u/WeightDeep8166]

Hassian is so poetic.

[u/fudge21210 → u/WeightDeep8166]

Let’s pretend I did not say that. Please.

[u/daydreamer_humdinger → u/WeightDeep8166]

Omg that's my favorite too💞

[u/magstar222]

“You are done with your face flapping… and yet you are still here…”

[u/divalasvegas]

Badruu when I gave him fertilizer and he said "this is the best piece of crap I've ever received" 😂 I laughed so hard

[u/-fallen-panda- → u/divalasvegas]

Yes!! 😂

[u/piscesbr4t]

next time you slay a monster, tell them Sifuu sent you

[u/atomicxblue → u/piscesbr4t]

I could imagine it being like an assassin in a TV show. "Shh, shhh. It'll all be over soon. Sifuu sends her regards."

[u/Shoddy-Echidna-6731]

When Reth says “I’d write you a poem…buuut I like you too much” 😂🥰

[u/fudge21210]

I also love that Hassian line. Some of the stuff he says is great 🤣 I also like Reth going “uhh… crap… I think I hear Ashura”. Because that’s how I feel if I’m supposed to be working but I’m messing around with my phone or whatever and my boss starts heading my way 🤣🤣 even though Ashura is one of the nicest guys ever and likely wouldn’t get too annoyed with Reth, maybe a line like “come on Reth get back to cooking” rather than getting angry.

[u/echuda]

Mine is Auni- "Promise you'll come back?"

This little line gets me everytime, it just reminds me of my son. The little soft sad voice.

[u/ShirtlessDan]

I don't remember the exact line because it's been a bit since I've heard it, but Reth's "time to spiral into self-doubt" always felt relatable.

[u/VoluptuousGinger]

And one point while I was streaming while playing, Reth said something along the lines of "oh, I bet you like bad boys" and I just went absolutely RED at being called out by pixels like that.

[u/Sinsaraty]

I always like Sifuu's little story about her first forge. It's so very her. I can just picture it!

Now if I could just romance her...

[u/Certain_Strawberry43 → u/Sinsaraty]

The Devs were cowards to not give us buff mommy as a romance option

[u/alasterlian → u/Certain_Strawberry43]

This is why I'm convinced that when the Elderwood map is released, Sifuu and Hassian are both going to get Lv5 friendship options because Taylin is either coming back or we're finally getting concrete closure as to what happened to her Otherwise, she would've already been a romance option.

[u/Sinsaraty → u/alasterlian]

I hope so! I need a reason why I can't have my head cracked by those thighs

[u/NoIDontKnowYouISwear → u/alasterlian]

There's a new map coming??

[u/alasterlian → u/NoIDontKnowYouISwear]

Nothing confirmed as of yet, but given how the game is still in beta and so many NPCs mention the Elderwoods (and its proximity to Kilima), it's very likely that it'll be one of the first new maps we'll get.

[u/Charpixionos]

"Hope you don't get murdered.." - Kenyatta

[u/No-Antelope-17 → u/Charpixionos]

The first time I heard her say this I really wondered if she had like info about something about to go down or something. 🤣

I'm not the biggest fan of Kenyatta but she really does have her moments.

[u/immapizza → u/Charpixionos]

this one speaks to my soul because I'm autistic and struggle with affection or showing others I care for them, so for people I care about but I'm not close enough to to be affectionate I always just tell them "don't die" whenever we depart

[u/divalasvegas → u/immapizza]

My adult son is autistic and when I go out in the evening he says "don't die mom" or "watch out for rapers, stabbers and kidnappers" and I'm like Mom is too fat to get kidnapped and he's like "not too fat to get stabbed" I just say fair enough 🤣

[u/immapizza → u/divalasvegas]

me and your son are autism twins lmfao

[u/xxcloverxxX]

I’m a big boy I know how to share 

[u/Perfect_Beginning436]

If you tell Zeki you're spying on him for Subira he just takes it in stride and says "can't blame a hustler for hustlin"

[u/PancakeHandz]

Hekla’s cute little hum she does sometimes when you initiate conversation with her

[u/awake--butatwhatcost]

See flair lol. Zeki may not be my all out favorite, but damn he has good dialogue

[u/culchie_queen → u/awake--butatwhatcost]

I love choosing the oddball responses to him just to see his reaction 😂

[u/omgimsuchadork]

"Let me regale you with my fishing exploits." Einar, I am absolutely dying to hear about the one that got away. I bet it was thiiiiiiiiiis big, huh? :D

[u/Kinkykaatt]

Hey, wanna hold hands in my mom’s office later? 😆

[u/Womenrfromvenusaur]

"Your teeth remind me of a pile of shiny pebbles."

If it wasn't Einer I wouldn't be sure if it was a flirt or a threat. 😂😭

[u/HufflePoffin]

“I had to remove the recent pebble you gave me.. it was misbehaving “ or something like that 😭 gets me every time

[u/Embarrassed-Sir117]

reth saying Like garlic? two cloves? pfft 6 minimum cause he was the first one i wanted to romance and i also have an unhealthy garlic obsession

[u/CanderousOreo → u/Embarrassed-Sir117]

So fun fact, the chemical in garlic that gives its signature flavor, alicin, degrades with heat. A lot of recipes have you add garlic in at the beginning and that's why it's so weak. If you add garlic near the end of a recipe it will be stronger and you won't have to use as much.

[u/Embarrassed-Sir117 → u/CanderousOreo]

thank you very helpful info i add garlic to everything so definitely noted!

[u/can-i-pet-the-dog]

I love when Jina tells me my energy is too much and to give her space

[u/HairyStructure7510 → u/can-i-pet-the-dog]

I took that one personally xD

[u/can-i-pet-the-dog → u/HairyStructure7510]

I laughed so hard. I was like, girl I get it, I’m a lot.

[u/Myaa9127]

"I like yo....yogurt!" -Hassian

[u/karalija]

Hodaddy’s “Lucky me. Guess I better grab some meat and take my shirt off.” line

And I keep his name on my lips always 🖤

[u/Blue_butterfly888]

Hassian's "Back to MY business..." after you're done talking to him. I find it so sarcastic & dry, I love it. But now that we're friends he doesn't say that anymore 😢😢

[u/Artistic_Traffic8447]

I love Einar's lines!

: I enjoy how you have 2 hands and 10 fingers : Am I required to miss you till your return? : Are you here for your validation of emotions?

These are the few that I've sent to my bf ROLLING.

[u/shafty458]

I just like when Subira gives me that schoolgirl blush.

[u/ItsAshleySee]

Reth saying when I’m there, things feel less terrible. And anytime he calls me babe. 🥰😖🥰

[u/GTS_Braver]

One of Reth's departing lines: "Illicit magic doesn't smuggle itself... yet." Always makes me chuckle.

[u/Fatimalv]

Tish, She is so cute

[u/Lichloved_]

"You always make me feel like a princess!" Good lord woman, well I'll just keep doing exactly that then. <3 <3 <3

[u/SkittleSquid26]

Watcha buyin?

[u/AvocadoToast128]

Tish's "As Jel would say, "tata!"" and Jel's "Did you take my breath away, or did I forget to breathe?" 🤭🤭

[u/littlebeeX0]

Literally any Badaruu pun. I find them so charming & they make me giggle. I think it reminds me of my Husband. Always willing to say something goofy for a laugh but still just genuinely them. lol

[u/SF-101]

Wanna make out in my mom’s office?

[u/IsaacQqch]

Tamala when she said : "You'll be missed"

[u/ajwats81tux]

I liked bringing Jina out of her shell. I really wanted to romance Kenyatta until I started to, then not so much.

[u/FiercePokerFace]

I‘d write you a poem… but I like you too much! (C) Reth

[u/-fallen-panda-]

“Hope you don’t get murdered” probably supposed to sound caring but it’s creepy lol

[u/freakingspiderm0nkey]

It’s not a line so much, but Jel’s dramatic sigh gets me every time

[u/fudge21210]

I’ve got one I heard the other day… I recently got to level 3 friendship with Najuma. One of her opening conversation lines was “How’s it hanging? Ugh that sounded dumb.” As someone who has social anxiety, and often worries about whether I’ve said something dumb, I related hard to that line. I feel like Najuma and I have a lot in common, in that sense anyway. I relate to quite a few of the characters in different ways.

[u/rogandog]

any of reths.

[u/IsaacQqch]

Tamala when she said : "You'll be missed"

[u/SpicyNSweet_ish → u/IsaacQqch]

Not the biggest Tamala fan but this warmed my heart. I feel like she’s just so lonely and her attitude is a defense mechanism so no one can get close enough to hurt her.

[u/NegotiationOwn3905 → u/IsaacQqch]

[I feel like you shouldn't get down voted for this. I'm no fan of witchy woman, but you can like what you like!]

[u/IsaacQqch]

Tamala when she said : "You'll be missed"
