Favorite of The Narrator Lines, Anyone?

[The Ringmaster]

The two that come to mind for me are

A) *When you don't have a shovel* "Without tools of iron they must rely on flesh and indefatigable purpose"

and my personal favorite

B) *Narration for the "Absent Abbot" town even* "Woe to the sheep, for does the absence of the shepherd not invite the wolves?"

[Stallionista]

I like the ones that rub my ego during a battle. Following a crit-kill: their formation is broken! I tend to then mouth along with the following three words.
Also: Kill, them, all. Anything that reinforces my lust for winning battles.
One quote I'm very fond of is the Jester one: He will still be laughing, in the end. Perfect way to introduce a character, and fits so well with the dark theme of the game.

[Gin-chan]

3 of the best and most memorable ones to me.

One where every player should take to heart
A)Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer.

One that gives hope whenever you win a batlle
B)These nightmareish creatures can be felled! They can be beaten!

One where a hero shines during what may be your darkest hour
C)Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today.

[VArmorV]

''Many fall in the face of chaos... but not this one. Not today.''

[PalmTree]

"A singular strike!"

"Press the advantage. Destroy. Them. All."

[⎝⧹Za Furan⧸⎠]

When you find 25-100 gold and he say "Such a burden of finery risks life and limb".

[Smuckem]

"Word is travelling. Ambition is stirring in distant cities. We can use this."

Is delivered so perfectly, and captures the feeling of "oh, I can't WAIT until this class or that class starts appearing in Stage Coach" very well--as someone who utilizes so many different modded classes, it coincidentally adds an anticipation to the recruiting process, especially if I play a run where I'm adding even more classes as I go.

[Nara]

"Madness can take many forms, but none so contemptible as man's belief in a mythology of his own making. A world view buttressed by dogmatic desperation invariably leads to single-minded fanaticism, and a need to do terrible things in the name of righteousness. This man is an animal - rabid, destructive, and incapable of nuanced understanding. He. must. be. put. down."

This perfectly sums up how I feel about zealots.

[Rider of Storms]

my favourite one is "remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer" i think it sums up the game well everytime ive gotten confident ive been punished for it, whether its a crucial attack missing or its me getting crit for all my health/mass stress, but almost everytime i think im screwed out comes reynauld going full crusader and deciding "not today"

[Wandering Flare]

"And now the true test. Hold fast, or expire."

Describes my last-moment lifestyle perfectly.

You do realize that this quote just shows how much a huge hypocrite and blind zealot the Ancestor himself is? He indulged in sadistic parties not unlike the 120 days of sodom and then turned his fellow scoundrels to vampires, when he received a vision of what's below instead of feeling regret and PTSD for life he felt triumph, he mass murdered people under his own rule using evil rituals, botched monsters and hired bandits, he double-crossed even his own henchmen. He threw any and all caution and foresight to the wind and did everything under the stars for his own amusement and gleeful pleasure and when consequences were about to bite him in the ass, he just conjured up a bigger ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to erase it.

The fake moral high ground he suddenly and conceitedly takes against the Fanatic is the height of impertinence and hypocrisy and shows how truly delusional the old bastard is. He just needs someone to curse and drag across the mud to try and make himself look better. He's not wise or tolerant at all, he's a loathsome psychopath and I could watch the Fanatic hammering stakes in all his body orifices all day long on loop.

Not to mention the logically unexplainable, sheer contempt and hatred he feels towards the Miller, which is unlike everything else he's done in the game. In all his narrations he shows as if he wants redemption, but when it comes to the Miller he becomes insufferably mocking and spiteful as if the Miller bullied him when he was a kid.

I'd take the Fanatic a hundred times over the arrogant scrap of infectious ♥♥♥♥ the Ancestor is. And if you take his side just because he's an edgy atheist that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ religion 24/7 then you're a small-minden person that apparently missed the memo that the Ancestor is supposed to be the villain, while the Church of The Light are the good guys.

On topic: My number #1 quote is "Born of the void, it dies in the earth!" with "Behold the infinite malignity of the stars!" coming a close second.

I feel like a lot of his quotes are born of his own mistakes without him saying so directly, so when he talks about the fanatics zealotry all it seems to do is remind him of himself, like you said he sacrificed everything for his own cause including those that worked for him, my feelings towards the ancestor are pretty indifferent, he ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the world but he seems to understand what hes done and so 'helps' the rightful heir in their journey, as for the miller, yeah i dont know what happened there but he clearly holds some form of grudge for him, i understand his hate for the prophet as the prophet was outing him for who he was and what he was doing but from what i know the miller asked ancestor for help and he helped using the weird crystals.

The Fanatic is a jackass too. Maybe not as bad as the Ancestor, but he tries to murder you for having an infection that he has the cure for.

Also since we're talking about the Euphoric Ancestor: "A man in a robe, claiming communion with the divine. Madness!" *tips fedora*

I shan't comment on your thoughts about what the Ancestor feels because I might spoil you the rest of the plot. And judging by your comment, you have yet to be find out a thing or two.

The Ancestor did not help the Miller at all. He came for help because blight from the Weald infected his fields, and the Ancestor promised that the celestial barrier would make it go away. But what he actually did is call down the comet and destroy the Farmstead along with the Miller because of his seething hate towards him. Even describing him, he calls him a watery eyed fool that reeks of sweat and manure and gleefully mocks how he was killed and his "precious Mill" destroyed.

As far as I know, the Miller has done nothing wrong, the Ancestor just feels pure spite and disdain because he's an aristocrat and the Miller is in low social standing.

Yes, he's definitely gone off the deep end and does more harm than good. I'm not saying he's a hero, the normal church members like the Vestal are.
Still, his intentions are good unlike our grandpa's, he probably kills bloodsuckers left and right while he's in a different dungeon than our heroes, and also he only has 1-2 bottles of the Cure which he keeps for himself, in case he gets infected.

Think of the Fanatic as an armed robber that has killed a person or two, and the Ancestor as a third-world warlord that genocided a city or two.

[Rider of Storms]

Anything before the Darkest dungeons is all i know as i have not been able to get past UNDULATIONS the boss, and i guess i mistook the barrier being erected as him helping, i thought it was a case of the miller asking for help and the ancestor helped him but at a cost of the well...everything that happened at the farmstead

You... you do realize there are over a dozen corpses tied to pyres in the Fanatic's background, right? He's killed way more than just a couple people.
