Grave robbers in Shepherd's Dale
Vignettes are short scenes that usually occur between NPCs and don't require any involvement from the Protagonist. Vignettes only occur in persistent locations such as towns, temples, and farms, as opposed to Random Encounter which only take place in random, temporary locations on the world map. Vignettes should not also be confused with cutscenes or idle dialogues.
| Scene | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pop Stillwater | Stillwater Campsite | A group of Stillwaters discuss their former boss, Pop Stillwater. They say he has morals while Shelby Cross would sell them out for a coin. They think Pop didn't deserve what Shelby Cross did to him, and regret that they couldn't bury him properly. |
| Cason Stillwater | Greenwood Run | A group of Stillwaters in the main house in Greenwood Run talk about Cason Stillwater, the outlaw captured by Flora Albright. They blame him for the late "cattle" shipments. |
| Fire traps | Horsetail Grotto | Two Acolytes talk about some fire traps near the entrance of the grotto. One expresses apprehension at the traps and wonders if some Mine Crawlers might accidentally step on the pressure plate and activate them again. The other reassures the former that the traps have been deactivated. This conversation refers to an actual pressure plate that can be pressed to turn on the traps. |
| Astral gates | Somnolence | During the Oneirist Journey, two Oneirists in the main hall discussion about the astral gates. One says that they are a safe mean of travel, the other argues that they are dangerous and there is no evidence to prove that the person coming out of the other side is the same person going through the gates. |
| UFO sighting | Random town or farm | Prior to the Crash Site Random Encounter, there is a small chance that an alien spaceship flying overhead. This is likely the same ship that eventually crashes in the random encounter. |
| Grave robbers | Any location with a graveyard | At night, the protagonist can encounter a group of grave robbers digging up a graveyard. They can choose to let them go with the loots (mostly junks), stop them, or stop them and dig up the graves themselves. If the robbers are let go or at least the leader escaped, the leader might end up on bounty boards across the West. Note that, this leader is the same outlaw that appears in the Protected Ground and Sacred Protector Random Encounters. |
| Sybil Branch's imprisonment | Somnolence | During the Werewolf Journey, if Dezi destroyed the Blood Moon and knocked out Sybil Branch, two Oneirists in Somnolence can be heard discussing her imprisonment. One says Sybil should be killed because she is dangerous and might break out and slit their throats one day. Shanna, the other Oneirist, claims that the Authority might still have plans for her. |
| Jane and Alonso | Bell Stead | Jane and Alonso can be heard arguing about how Jane is not the same and how she can't let go of the past. Jane, on the other hand, still has nightmares and memories she shouldn't have, and she wants to get to the bottom of what happened. |
