[Question] How do you portray Kalyskah's personality?

As we are reviewing the dialogues that have not been sent to voice acting yet, I noticed that there are some areas where we could add a few more small choices for Kalyskah.

These choices would not necessarily change the outcome of a quest, but they would let players shape her personality a little more through the way she replies. Sometimes that means making her more playful, more authoritative, more cruel, more restrained, or simply letting her show a different side of herself in the moment.

For the more intimate scenes, our rule of thumb is to offer at least three choices during the scene, each with a different tone depending on how the player wants Kalyskah to behave. Some options let her take the lead more clearly, while others make her more playful, teasing, or willing to follow her partner’s lead. This gives us different blocks of lines, reactions, camera framing, and tone, and we are already using it for the new scenes we are working on.

For regular dialogue, we usually focus more on letting Kalyskah show her humour, authority, intelligence, or that murderous urge we know a proper vampire should have.

But I am also curious to know your vision of Kalyskah and how you play her.

Do you see her as cruel and commanding? More playful and seductive? Honourable in her own strange way? Ruthless, but not without limits? Or something else entirely?

This week is a good time for us to improve some of these written dialogues before they move further along in production, so let us know your thoughts!
