Dialogue[edit]
The Familiar-Looking Hero has unique dialogue for each profession.
Warrior: "So I've got this great idea for a skill combination, first I hamstring them with a sword, then I cast Firestorm while they can't leave. What do you think? I just need to find someone who can teach me Hamstring and I'm set!"
Ranger: "You know, I got this great Charm Animal skill from my trainer earlier, but I haven't been able to charm a pet yet. Those stupid bears keep interrupting me."
Monk: "I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm a smiting Monk"
Necromancer: "I really don't get people who train to be anything other than a Necromancer. I figure once I get three other Necromancers, we can just do everything ourselves."
Mesmer: "When am I gonna learn a Balthazar-blasted interrupt?"
Elementalist: "Flare is the best skill ever, isn't it? I don't think I'll ever find something to replace it."
Assassin: "How did I get here from Cantha? Shadow Step accident."
Ritualist: "This is the last time I listen to a spirit for directions back to the monastery, I can't believe I ended up on another continent!"
Paragon: "Getting here from Elona was easy. Did you think the Paragon wings were just for show?"
Dervish: "You came through the Asuran time portal, too? Can you take me back when you leave? First Spear Dehvad is probably wondering where I am."
Quotes[edit]
Idle quotes[edit]
- "You know there are only five gods right now? I bet I'd make a good sixth god."
- "Sigh. I wonder if I'll ever get to level 20."
- "One of these days, I'm gonna do something important, you'll see."
- "How far in the future are you from, anyway?"
Battle quotes[edit]
- "Just be thankful I haven't learned all my profession's skills yet."
- "I hope this doesn't ruin my Survivor title."
- "Ugh! I knew I shouldn't have taken these skills. I don't suppose we can go back to an outpost?"
Notes[edit]
- This NPC will have the name as the player character anywhere but in dialogue panels, in which they appear as "Familiar-Looking Hero."
- While core classes will appear with random weapons and off-hands, the four expansion classes will appear with the pre-order weapons from that campaign: Spiritbinder (Ritualist), Dragon Fangs (Assassins), Soulbreaker (Dervish), and Sunspear (Paragon).
- The six core professions will all be wearing Ascalon armor regardless of their campaign of origin. Factions professions appear with Shing Jea armor and Nightfall professions with Istani armor.
