Dragon's Plague Pawn Dialogue

[Lux]

I've seen people claim certain things but it doesn't seem anybody really has anything concrete collected or they're mistaking Straightforward Pawn dialogue for Plague dialogue. Does anybody know what they say or if they only say off stuff when they get ordered around?

[Arthur Morrigan]

My pawn has caught the plague multiple times and not once has his dialogue ever changed.

[Jamation]

Oh I've caught it plenty of times when I was testing stuff. I can't remember the exact wording for stuff so this will be a proximity (there may be a list online somewhere)

But when ordering a pawn they may rarely say like: "You don't have to tell me what to do, I know what I'm doing"

During a battle they might say: "I'm feel myself surging with power"

There's a few other one's, some really obvious and other's kind of not, but I can't remember them well enough to call out. My guy is straightforward so I know how often people hear his voicelines and go "oH tHrOw hIm iN tHe BriNe! PlAgUe!". But I've been with him so long I know all of his voicelines by heart, so when a new one pops up it's really really obvious

[LeonserGT]

Mine once said something along like "hey, dont command my every step!" while kindhearted... and got glowy red eyes, so gave her a brine bath

[Dollmaker]

Some other quotes i heard recently was about them being injured but not caring and treating it like just a scratch.

I dont remember the words though.

Last session I had a plagued Simple pawn go "Set me any task you like, Master! I'll take on the entire world if need be!" during battle, it was probably their equivalent to the POWER ones i've seen on other pawns that had it

A bit earlier I had my pawn do the "I'm alright, everything is fine" quote outside of being infected because she was chiding a Chiurgeon mage for constantly healing her

Dialogue wise they become a lot more lively and independent, you'll recognize it after a while, if you camp in the wild it has a chance to spread to another pawn and you can tell whats plague dialogue and whats just the inclination, as the latter is for good or worse quite repetitive.
At the highest stage they don't talk like pawns at all anymore. They insult you for getting hit, when you order them with "go!", you collect items like materials and probably anything that isn't random conversation between pawns while exploring, which are still the same iirc. Can't quote any of them from memory though, but that's what you can do to try to provoke the dialogue

I actually like my straightforward pawns character with maximum dragon plague more than how they're as default lol, too bad that if you forget about it they'll nuke a city.

I've just made a habit of never recruiting pawns with concealed faces or base red eyes, then check every pawns eyes before resting at inns/homes for their pulsating orange/red eyes.

[Pine Rune]

My kindhearted pawn started getting random dialog while roaming around where she would mention having a lot of energy. She had red eyes when I checked right after. Had another kindhearted pawn i hired with the plague say the same things.

[The Technoviking]

Also noticed some unique behavior today. My main pawn was infected, and two or three times when I walked a bit away after a fight was over, the three pawns huddled together as if talking with each other. Shoulder to shoulder, one 90 degrees from the next one, with the infected one in the middle.

I can tell when my pawn is getting it. The dragon always grabs him and he will yell to me "Master my mind is not my own!" and then runs over and tries to kill me. lol

That's possession, Drakes also did that in 1 with the exact same attack
I suspect it's either the roar or no specific attack at all and it's a random chance during the fight

Nah. It's just standard grab attack (he uses his left hand) that has 100% chance of possession (assuming uninterrupted). The roar actually has nothing to do with it. It can grab you too, but then he will just slam you into the ground.

Problem is that the range for the standard grab attack is really really terrible (Not under him or too far. Literal grabbing distance). Chances of him actually being in the right range to use it is almost never. (only melee classes would get that near to begin with and they usually end up under him anyway to hit the heart. Also thieves can dodge). As a result, if he ever wants to grab anything, he roars first to drop your stamina to 0.

Some of them:

All is well, I feel as fit as ever.
Power surges within me!
My mind feels clearer than ever this day.
'Tis difficult to explain, but I feel as if I'm possessed by a greater power.
I've a wellspring of strength that shall never run dry!
You need not rest on my account, Master. I've never felt more alive!
I shall act on my own accord!
You needn't command me at every turn. I know what to do!
Is that order absolute? I struggle to see the sense in it.

They should use AI if they're theyre gonna have them talk every second.

"You've been serving the Arisen in the same vocation for quite some time haven't you"

"Materials can be combined into many different things"

If you arent familiar with straightfoward dialogue, yeah its easy to mistake. Straightforward pawns are aggressively blunt lol.

Dragonsplague sometimes sounds like straightforward pawns
"You needn't command me at every turn. I know what to do!"
as opposed to
"Just because I can heal you doesn’t mean you can be careless"

Very similar vibes.
