[Bulk_Clover]

Listening to Bethesda writing almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

[cosmicmelon]

"I will NOT work on Liberty Prime."
"Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?"
"Make it two and you've got a deal."

[EnderShard]

"no"
"Yes but. Have you considered. Yes"
"Ok"

[KantFromEC]

Dr Li - "No"

Shit is still the same in Starfield, lol. Did a mission where I’m supposed to convince some dude to give up some priceless family heirloom. Makes it VERY clear that nothing short of death will change his mind. I pick the dialogue option that basically says “hey dude. The sooner we get the item, the sooner I get out of your hair.” And he’s just like “YAXTUALLY, YOIRE RIGHHT! HERE YIU GO!”

[liamtroncalli]

"I'm NOT working on liberty prime."
"Oh. What changed your mind?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you here?"
"To work on liberty prime."

[MrRatman]

Genuinely feel like I've had a stroke and missed half the dialogue

[silverdragon]

"Anakin join the sith"
"No"
"Anakin join the sith"
"Ok."

[JerkyMurky]

It's a magnificent way to avoid criticism that Bethesda has worked out... You can't have bad writing if you don't have any writing. It's like the dialogue is the synopsis plot points. Instead of a conversation, they looked at the plot points and said, "have the characters literally say that!"

[SaGeOwL]

"DEW IT"
"No."
*"O R A N G E D E W I T"*
"Yes."

[plar]

"fix liberty prime"
"over my dead body"
"liberty biberty"
"say no more fam"

[SXR_YT]

"You're going to fix Liberty Prime."
"I already told you, no."

"Well when you put it that way, I guess I can fix it."

[sarcasm-]

"I won't do it"
-"Why?"
"Because."
-"Because why?"
"Ok I'll do it."

It just works.

[Whatamess-nmtz]

"Fix Liberty Prime"
"No"
"Why?"
"Damn, he's good"

[DatWittyName]

"I won't build it."
"But you promised."
"OK, I BELIEVE YOU!"

[Lajos_Kelemen]

Remember in New Vegas when you had to interrogate a Legion Centurion and how it took multiple dialogue choices to get him talking?

[jonathanshirley]

"Will you fix liberty prime?"
"No."
"Be a lot cooler if you did."

"Okay."
