Wyll/Approval
Overview | Approval | Banter | Romance |
Wyll approves acts of heroism and defending the innocent.
He likes expressing courage and calling upon rightful vengeance in the name of wronged and downthrodden. Wyll appreciates being constant to purpose and favors when the player doesn't hesitate to engage in a fight if justice demands so. Lastly, he approves the player's positive opinion of his career as a Blade of Frontiers and appreciates understanding of his complex feelings towards his warlock pact.
Wyll disapproves villainous acts like killing the innocent or defenseless, or refusing to save the abused. He dislikes dishonesty and cruelty towards others. Being a noble born, he despises any unjustice and attempts of gaining profit through deception. Wyll doesn't appreciate helping any evil to sneak into the world, or letting the grief thrive. Finally, he doesn't look good onto any crimes or countering the official authorities.
The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Wyll's Approval.
