After 1600+ hours this is the first time I've done a combination of:

- turning on Hylea's challenge (requiring you to escort and protect Vela)

- having Rekke in my party as a primary companion

 

Eventually Rekke learns common, as anyone who's used Rekke might know. What you might not know is that at one point Vela and Rekke interact and it becomes clear that Rekke is teaching Vela Seki.

 

(in German because of my mod/I'm learning, but roughly translated:

Vela: Hello

Rekke: Have you returned for more Seki lessons?

Vela: Do we really have to?

Rekke: [something something in Seki] Vela

Vela: [something something in Seki])

 

 

Just never fails to impress me how Obsidian adds these little bits of reactivity (with voice actors, no less) in extremely obscure situations that ~1% of the player base may ever encounter. (e.g. how many people have ever turned on hylea's challenge? and then played long enough with rekke for rekke to learn common?)

 

That is pretty awesome.  Thanks for sharing it.  I don't think I would have ever seen that interaction otherwise.

Serafen will also very specifically cite the fact that you murdered Vela onboard the ship if you do so, when he deserts your party.

Some more amusing Vela reactivity I've noticed:

Will try to make friends with Ishiza

Refuses to close her eyes if you bring her to the bathhouse

Wants another bite of your Forbidden Flesh Pie if you have one in your inventory

So... typical Orlan.

hahaha  i never experienced this one, what a gem

I can totally see ancient Wild Orlans hunting down other kiths for meat though.

Thinking about certain pygmy tribes and so on...

Awesome, missed this also. Will have to take Vela along for all my runs from now.
