It's a shame really, since I enjoy the immersion of appearing as living while talking to others, but I don't want to lose his unique dialogue in the process. I don't know why he loses it, but it'd be great if he retained it.


We went through all dialogs in the game at some point (I don't remember when exactly, I think it was for Patch 6 or Patch 7), and added shapeshift support for all origin characters (since everyone can use the Mask of the Shapeshifter) everywhere it made sense. I.e., in case the origin character itself remarks something (asks a question), they will generally be able to do so regardless of their shapeshift form, since shapeshifting does not change who they are or what they know. On the other hand, if the NPC in the conversation is supposed to recognise them, being shapeshifted will block that unless the NPC is somehow supernatural and can see/sense through shapeshifting (like Malady, Saheila, the Doctor, ...), or they are characters that have been recruited/become part of the LV crew (Gareth, Tarquin, Han, ...).

In which dialog(s) were you unable to say Fane-specific things while shapeshifted?
