Overview Approval Disapproval Banter Location Remarks Romance

Wyll approves acts of heroism and defending the innocent.

He likes expressions of courage and calls for rightful vengeance in the name of the wronged and downthrodden. Wyll appreciates being constant to purpose and favors when the player character does not hesitate to engage in a fight if justice demands it. Lastly, he approves of the player character's positive opinion of his career as the Blade of Frontiers and appreciates understanding of his fractured relationship with his father, as well as his complex and sometimes conflicted feelings towards his warlock pact.

The story and dialogue choices listed on this page raise Wyll Wyll's approval.
