1 | DialogueTheSlogSceneIntro | Player Default: It's pretty clever, making a tarberry bog out of an old swimming pool. | I appreciate your saying so. | | A1a |
2 | | {Emphasis on "something"} When I came across this place, it was the first time I'd seen anything like it. It seemed like a shame not to use it for something. | Wiseman: You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. | A1b |
3 | Player Default: The first word that comes to my mind is "ugly." | {Self-mocking humor, said with a chuckle} Hey, do I look like a guy who puts a premium on beauty? | | B1a |
4 | | {Proud} Sure, there are prettier farms in the Commonwealth, but none of them know how to grow tarberries like we do. | Wiseman: You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. | B1b |
5 | Player Default: Looks fine, I guess. I wouldn't really know. | {Thoughtful, sizing up the player} Yeah, I didn't think you had the look of a farmer about you. More the city type, I'd say, what with that smooth, clean skin. | Wiseman: You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. | X1a |
6 | Player Default: The Slog? How'd you come up with that name? | We didn't. It was the caravan traders who started that. | | Y1a |
7 | | I started this place a few years back but couldn't think of a name for it. | | Y1b |
8 | | Then, one day, one of the traders pulls up after it's been raining for hours, and says he's never had to slog through so much mud in his life. | | Y1c |
9 | | I asked him if it was worth it, and he said for the best tarberries in the Commonwealth, it was definitely worth it. | | Y1d |
10 | | Working' here's like a slog through the mud. It's tough going and you'll get dirty doing it, but at the end of the day, it's worth it. | Wiseman: You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. | Y1e |
11 | Wiseman: When I came across this place, it was the first time I'd seen anything like it. It seemed like a shame not to use it for something. | You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. | | A1a |
12 | | {Resentful} I used to live in Diamond City, until that rat bastard mayor threw me and all the other ghouls out. | | A1b |
13 | | {Proud} I decided that we ghouls should have a place where we could feel welcome, and that's mainly why I started up this farm. | Player Default: It looks like you've done well for yourselves. | A1c |
14 | Player Default: It looks like you've done well for yourselves. | It's a good start, yeah, and I'm proud of all the work we've done. Still, I think we can do more. | Wiseman: What if this place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? | A1a |
15 | Player Default: It's a wonder you don't scare off all the traders. | Oh, there's a few that won't come around. They believe all that nonsense coming out of Diamond City, I guess. | | B1a |
16 | | Truth be told, we ghouls get a pretty bad rap in these parts. I don't think it has to be that way, though. | Wiseman: What if this place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? | B1b |
17 | Player Default: Makes sense. | It's not the only reason I created The Slog, though. I also had something else a little bigger in mind. | Wiseman: What if this place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? | X1a |
18 | Player Default: Why did the mayor throw you out? | We're ugly, we turn feral and kill people, we gives the kids nightmares, all the usual stuff we get from you smoothskins. | | Y1a |
19 | | Now it's true that there was one incident in Diamond City where a ghoul turned feral and someone got hurt. | | Y1b |
20 | | But I ask you this - how many humans have suddenly turned violent and killed someone? | | Y1c |
21 | | I've seen it more times than I care to admit. | Wiseman: What if this place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? | Y1d |
22 | Player Default: It's a good start, yeah, and I'm proud of all the work we've done. Still, I think we can do more. | {Hopeful, sharing your dream} What if this place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? | | A1a |
23 | | {ghouls} What if it could also be an example of what we can do when we put our minds to something and work together? | | A1b |
24 | | We want this to be a place that everyone looks forward to visiting, with smiling faces, good bargains and great produce. | | A1c |
25 | | Maybe we can make people take a second look, you know? Maybe then they'd see that we're not monsters. | Player Default: I think it's a great idea. | A1d |
26 | Player Default: I think it's a great idea. | {Hopeful} Do you really think so? Because if you do, we could definitely use some help. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | A1a |
27 | Player Default: I think it's a great idea. | {Pleasantly surprised and grateful} Yeah? Thanks for saying so. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | A2a |
28 | Player Default: Acting friendly isn't going to change the fact that you look and smell like walking corpses. | {Pride, almost defiant} Maybe, but when it comes to trade, our caps are as good as anyone's. | | B1a |
29 | | {Hoping to get help} Speaking of trade, we've been having some trouble lately. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | B1b |
30 | Player Default: Acting friendly isn't going to change the fact that you look and smell like walking corpses. | {Admitting defeat, disappointed} I can see there's no changing your mind about us. Can't blame a ghoul for trying, right? | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | B2a |
31 | Player Default: Well, it's a nice goal, anyway. Good luck. | {Tough, determined, but needing help} I don't have any illusions about how hard it'll be. Every day is a struggle out here. | | X1a |
32 | | In fact, we've got a some trouble right now and we could really use some help. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | X1b |
33 | Player Default: Well, it's a nice goal, anyway. Good luck. | I don't have any illusions about how hard it'll be, and I don't expect everything to change overnight. | | X2a |
34 | | You have to start somewhere, though. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | X2b |
35 | Player Default: Anything I can do to help? | As a matter of fact, there is. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | Y1a |
36 | Player Default: Anything I can do to help? | I appreciate the offer, but I think we're doing as much as can be done. | | Y2a |
37 | | If you want to put in a good word for us with the traders, that couldn't hurt. | Wiseman: Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | Y2b |
38 | Player Default: Do you really think so? Because if you do, we could definitely use some help. | Why don't you take a look around? Deirdre's always looking to trade supplies for caps, and Holly could use a hand gathering tarberries. | | A1a |
39 | | {Warm, friendly.} It's been good talking with you. I hope you'll visit us again. | | A1b |
