Dialogue Tree	comment	Hey there, Troper! What brings you to the Dialogue Tree page? I fell in a Pot Hole and here I am. I wanted to learn about them, of course! You know me, I can't resist smashing that "Random Trope" button. I thought so. Well, a Dialogue Tree is a common feature of Role-Playing Games and Adventure Games, where interactions with certain Non Player Characters are done by selecting a possible response from a list of two to five choices. As you might imagine, this can lead to frustration as the player tries to figure out the correct sequence of responses to get what he or she wants out of the NPC. Sounds annoying. So why even use them, then? But they can't be all bad if they're so common, right? Yeah, that's great, anyway - have you seen Tropey the Wonder Dog around? It's Trope-tan's turn to give him a bath. They're one of those Acceptable Breaks from Reality, since fishing for correct vocabulary and grammar that actually yields a result can be drag on gameplay for any genre other than Interactive Fiction, and some old-school RPGs that implement a Keywords Conversation mode (if you want to know what that's like, just click on any wikilink in this paragraph). The games industry's standard of fully voiced dialog also makes it prohibitively expensive in voice acting hours, and the technology for synthetic voice hasn't progressed far enough past Robo Speak for a satisfactory cost-effective substitution. On the upside, some games use Dialogue Trees to allow the player to try out their non-combat skills or abilities, or affect where on the Karma Meter the Player Character turns out. [Bluff] You don't need to tell me this stuff, I accidentally clicked "can you repeat that?" at the end of this whole spiel. [Charm] Sounds fascinating! Maybe you could tell me more about Dialogue Trees over coffee or something? [Evil] Guess what? I just realized I'm one pulled trigger away from getting on with my life. [FAILED] No thanks, I'm seeing a nice page from the Sugar Wiki. Anyway, this can also be a form of Truth in Video Games, as it accurately captures the genuine excitement of calling the customer-service number of your ISP or phone company. So, do you understand now, or Shall I Repeat That? I think I missed something, can you start your entire speech over verbatim? Got it, thanks. You put the "start over" response at the top just to screw over the players rushing to end this conversation, didn't you? Okay then. And remember, nothing's more annoying than the illusion of choice. And on that note, how would you like to do a long and tedious Fetch Quest? See, I need 20 Bear Asses for no adequately-explained reason, and I have a hunch that the Broken Bridge out of town won't be fixed until I get them. Will you help me? Sure thing! You bet! Of course! No way!

Dialogue Tree / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator: Even the Terminator understands dialogue trees; in The Terminator, Arnie scrolls through one to answer someone asking "You got a dead cat in [your room] or what?". Out of a list that includes "Yes/No" and "Get lost", he picks the Precision F-Strike. In the Terminator 2: Judgment Day novelization, the T-800 also has a dialogue tree to select responses from. When Sarah Connor says that he looks like "handmade shit" when she tries to fix up his wounds, the T-800 accesses the dialogue tree and then comes up with the response, "So do you".

In addition, the success or failure of the many choices you get to lead to a desired outcome is heavily dependent on player's stats, as well as their reputation with game's 7 factions. Even being a pacifist has its downsides, as you'll be instantly shown the door if you try applying to the local assassins, known as The Boatmen of Styx.

There are also moments where you'll select one dialogue option, but partway through your character will begin backspacing and self-censor their response: For instance, you might select the dialogue "you're my best friend", but partway through your "typing" the words rewrite themselves into "you're one of my best friends".

Every character has at least a "Rumors" topic, and city dwellers can talk about their city. Guards will respond to queries about notorious thief Gray Fox and guard captain Heironymous Lex. Some topics are scripted to do things when chosen—for instance, beggars have the "Have a coin, beggar" option, which actually makes your character give them 1 gold. Contrasting with Morrowind, Non Player Characters tend to have occasional unique dialogue; though there are far fewer lines available due to, once again, the move to voicing the lines.

Notably, you will pretty much always end up with the same result no matter what options you choose, with only three exceptions: being too brusque with Carvier results in her not handing over the book (forcing Lara to find it herself), being too snarky to Bouchard results in him shooting Lara right there and then, and being rude to Luddick means you won't get a useful weapon until a level later.

Dialogue Tree / int_6c1d09b1	comment	Fallout is a masterwork of interlocking player character skills (and stats, advantages, and even equipment or clothing) with hidden twists and turns in the dialog trees. The most famous one, however, is low intelligence. A character with a sufficiently low intelligence is too stupid to actually possess a working knowledge of language. The game still possesses dialog trees, it just that they tend to all consist of options like: "Hunh," "Ugh," and "Mom?", with various characters in the game reacting to this utter idiot accordingly. Amazingly, the game is still playable, possessing a whole alternate dialog for the entire game, based around your character possessing the mental acumen of a somewhat clever dog. There are even quest resolutions that only exist with an abysmally low intelligence character. There is an interesting bug with the character Dane in the cathedral. The parser only prints the last few sentences of his dialogue before topic choices, rendering his conversation even more raving than displayed. His full dialogue is here.

Instead of getting a list of responses to choose from, the player is given a Mass Effect-style dialogue wheel with one- or two-word labels that don't always let you know what your character is about to say, which can lead to frustration if the fully-voiced Sole Survivor misses the tone you were going for. Unlike Mass Effect, most of the choices don't affect the conversation's outcome, so that the player's response options boil down to "Yes," "Sarcastic Yes," "No (Yes)," and "What?" And just as critically, the only way to get alternate outcomes or persuade other characters is your Charisma stat, none of your other skills or perks come into play at all, with two or three exceptions during specific sidequests. The only thing your dialogue choices really impact is your current companion's opinion of you, with "nice" characters approving of polite or supportive responses, and others liking it when you're rude or dismissive.

Dialogue Tree / int_75a99717	comment	Used in most adventure games. Sam & Max Hit the Road was unusual in that it replaced questions or topics with graphical icons representing things you could ask about. However, it changed over to the text system when Telltale Games started making a new episodic Sam & Max: Freelance Police game. Modern Tell Tale games all use dialogue trees, where you're almost always on a time limit for choosing your response. You also almost always can choose an ellipsis to remain silent. These games include: The Walking Dead (Telltale) (both seasons), The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands and Game Of Thrones. Lampshaded in Reality 2.0. If you ask Sybil if it's any good, she says it's okay, provided you don't get stuck with some repetitive dialogue tree. If you ask Sybil if it's any good, she says it's okay, provided you don't get stuck with some repetitive dialogue tree. If you ask Sybil if it's any good, she says it's okay, provided you don't get stuck with some repetitive dialogue tree. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, however, uses the picture system.

It certainly helps to keep the flow of the conversation, and prevents most instances of a paused interruption. The game also put its own spin on the trope by having you choose only the general tone of Shepard's response, rather than the exact words. There's even one instance in the climax where you can convince the bad guy to commit suicide simply by using your wily, idealistic charms or your bed-wettingly preposterone-coated manliness. Actually two instances, but the second is much harder to accomplish, and requires consistent dialogue choices through the entire third game.

Dialogue Tree / int_7f5bc680	comment	Used in the Fallout series, with some variation. Most dialogue uses a tree, but you also have the option to type in a keyword, which they will treat as a request for information about the topic, but most characters have few or no options. Later installments stripped out the keyword option. Fallout is a masterwork of interlocking player character skills (and stats, advantages, and even equipment or clothing) with hidden twists and turns in the dialog trees. The most famous one, however, is low intelligence. A character with a sufficiently low intelligence is too stupid to actually possess a working knowledge of language. The game still possesses dialog trees, it just that they tend to all consist of options like: "Hunh," "Ugh," and "Mom?", with various characters in the game reacting to this utter idiot accordingly. Amazingly, the game is still playable, possessing a whole alternate dialog for the entire game, based around your character possessing the mental acumen of a somewhat clever dog. There are even quest resolutions that only exist with an abysmally low intelligence character. There is an interesting bug with the character Dane in the cathedral. The parser only prints the last few sentences of his dialogue before topic choices, rendering his conversation even more raving than displayed. His full dialogue is here. Fallout 2 had the simpleminded Torr Buckner in Klamath. If your PC is also simpleminded, meaning having low intellgence, you two can have an in-depth conversation, in which the subtitles are subtitled, as detailed in the dialogue file, here. Fallout 3 continues the tradition with conversation options for stats, skills, karma and even perk related dialogue. It also probably holds the record number of swearwords you can select in any game. Fallout: New Vegas adds special dialogue choices for taking a Gay Option, which can even interact with the aforementioned low-intelligence options ("You too tense. It wrinkle your nice face."). There's also a Terrifying Presence perk that lets you interrupt a hostile dialogue with a Badass Boast that not only initiates combat, but sends your opponent running.

As you played, you would pick up special words used as branches that you could then ask other people about in various conversations. The tree only appeared when talking to specific people though (otherwise, they'd Welcome to Corneria you), and they were only programmed to respond to certain branches at certain times. This made it odd when you tried to talk to Princess Hilda near the endgame with a good 20 branches to choose from, and any besides 1 or 2 still currently relevant choices resulted in her just flinging a "?" at you.

Dialogue Tree / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall has a dialogue tree method that uses keywords and divides them into topics and regions of interest. Most information you will learn from these involve updating your town map with store names. Actual quest-based information is handled via a "shut up, I talk, you listen" approach. In Morrowind, you can choose what to talk about with NPCs in a dialogue tree, including "Lore", "Background", and "Race". NPC responses on one topic can contain the names of topics new to the player, allowing the player to select those new topics in dialogue with any NPC having a response to that topic. Certain classes (and individuals) have more responses available: priests will talk about the gods, and savants will talk about pretty much everything in the game. Additionally, some topics are region-based, and will appear in a given NPC's dialogue tree because they had spawned in that region of the game world. Thought nearly all of the game's dialogue is written, there are tens of thousands of lines available. Oblivion's version is limited in comparison, in large part due to the game switching to most spoken dialogue. Every character has at least a "Rumors" topic, and city dwellers can talk about their city. Guards will respond to queries about notorious thief Gray Fox and guard captain Heironymous Lex. Some topics are scripted to do things when chosen—for instance, beggars have the "Have a coin, beggar" option, which actually makes your character give them 1 gold. Contrasting with Morrowind, Non Player Characters tend to have occasional unique dialogue; though there are far fewer lines available due to, once again, the move to voicing the lines. Skyrim has a more traditional dialogue system, where you actually choose what your character says instead of just choosing a topic to talk about.

Indeed, the climax of Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom culminates in a debate on the floor of the senate. Make the right choices, and you can get the villain to admit to his plot in front of the Senate. Make the wrong choices, and you'll get arrested for treason and the Senate will vote for war with the Border Worlds Union.

Dialogue Tree / int_b5a2b326	comment	In Morrowind, you can choose what to talk about with NPCs in a dialogue tree, including "Lore", "Background", and "Race". NPC responses on one topic can contain the names of topics new to the player, allowing the player to select those new topics in dialogue with any NPC having a response to that topic. Certain classes (and individuals) have more responses available: priests will talk about the gods, and savants will talk about pretty much everything in the game. Additionally, some topics are region-based, and will appear in a given NPC's dialogue tree because they had spawned in that region of the game world. Thought nearly all of the game's dialogue is written, there are tens of thousands of lines available.

You usually have a time limit to choose from the dialogue choices given to you; if you didn't pick anything before time ran out, the character you were talking to would treat it as the player character deliberately remaining silent.

Beyond Divinity continued the tradition, and the two paired characters (literally chained by their souls) frequently commented on each other's replies during dialogue. Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga had a single playable character, but his mind reading ability frequently unlocked bonus options in dialogue (including multiple quest resolutions).Divinity: Original Sin again had two player characters, and if you're not playing in co-op, they would argue against each other through dialogue trees, with rock-paper-scissors minigame used to resolve their arguments.

Dialogue Tree / int_d5ae7c20	comment	Done in a hidden way in Ultima IV. The player could type in ANYTHING they wanted to, to any NPC - as long as it was one word. The only three words that all NPCs were guaranteed to respond to were "Name" "Job" and "Bye". Occasionally a NPC in their dialog would let slip a subject that you could then bring up to another NPC - who would then reveal some useful bit of information about that subject. Sometimes an NPC would ask the player a question, to which you could reply, usually with 'yes' or 'no'. By Ultima VII the series had switched to a more conventional dialog ree. Ultima VII goes so far as to lampshade the U4 dialog options. Talking to the troupe of the Britannia Theatre Company in Britain gives you an opportunity to be an understudy for the role of, all things, The Avatar in their upcoming production. The only lines you're given are "Name", "Job" and "Bye" and to add insult to injury, you get told you're not convincing enough for the role.

Dialogue Tree / int_e10f4f08	comment	An interesting version occurs in Castles (and would've been a subversion, if the game hadn't been as old as the trope itself!). While building your massive castles, you are occasionally interrupted by a scene of one of your subjects (be it a knight, bishop, peasant, etc.) coming to you with news, threats or advice. The scene consists of some narration and the text spoken by your audience, after which you get to choose from one of three optional responses. The trick is that after your respond, the game goes back to the castle-building mode as though nothing happened. You are then left to pretty much obsess over what implications your decision may have. About 10-15 minutes later, another cutscene/dialogue will trigger, possibly continuing the same plotline from before taking your previous decision into account, or it may be a completely different person starting a new dialogue tree! Some of these "side-events" can continue over a few "years" of game-time, and some can even be circular: going back to square every few cutscenes until you can figure out a way to resolve the situation for good. Of course, some of the choices in certain dialogues will lead to instant battles, and many of these are the most difficult battles you'll face in the game. At other times, a dialogue option can cause half your laborers to leave the building site, or other such dreaded scenarios.

Chatter will have the other character automatically say whatever they want to talk about, and Whitty will occasionally reply, also automatically. Gossip is similar, but you pick one of the key topics (Chatter Estate, Private Prattle or St. Lauden's Military) through a separate menu before approaching a person. Last but not least, Discourse leads to the argument minigame that is the game's selling point. No actual words are shown on screen; instead, Whitty and her current conversation partner first attract attention by being Disruptive, then use Submissive phrases to build up Tact, which, counter-intuitively, allows them to use Aggressive options in order to efficiently push the argument slider in their favour and thus win it. (being aggressive and tactless is prohibited because you're at an upper-class party). Those three main options can each be said in a Subtle, Normal or Overt way, which has slight tactical differences but allows you to get the opponent angrier (and thus more suspectible to Aggressive option) by countering their type of response in a rock-paper-scissors element.

More than that, like the Fallout example above this game contains an entire alternate dialogue script for the whole game. In the world of Vampire, the Malkavians are cursed with a different, random insanity for each of those turned. Appropriately, while playing as a Malkavian all of the dialogue responses are changed to nonsensical statements and observations that either make no sense, or are allusions to information that you as the player don't have yet. In addition, if playing a Malkavian then sometimes during dialogue trees the background audio of the game will involve quite voices whispering information to the player. There are even a few alternate voiced statements from NPC's reacting to how crazy and creepy you are.
