Fall-from-Grace, like the other companions, speaks at random intervals to acknowledge her selection, to announce that she has leveled up, to express her mood or feelings about the other companions, to complain about missing her target while attacking, to warn that she is about to die, or simply to show that she is bored. She also has some conversations with other companions.

Fall-from-Grace is voiced by Jennifer Hale.

Note: Banter with other companions in the original game is rare and it is possible to miss the vast majority of it (only 12 out of the 78 fully-voiced banters play). Qwinn's Tweak Pack contains a banter accelerator that fixes this problem, allowing most of the conversations to appear in one playthrough. Banter is usually initiated after resting or travelling.

Fall-from-Grace and Annah

Grace: Annah, were you raised in The Hive?

Annah: Mind yer own business, Succubus, I've nothin' to say to ya.

Grace: Very well, then.

Annah: So... how long will you be travelling with us, Succubus?

Grace: As long as I am permitted, I suppose.

Annah: Well, yer not permitted. I don't trust ye.

Annah: So, uh, when are ya headin' back to yer knockin' shop, Succubus?

Grace: I don't know if I will be going back.

Annah: Well...? It's where ye belong, so maybe ye should!

Annah: Yeh better watch yerself Succubus. You step outta line, start huntin' for souls, yeh'll catch me blades.

Grace: I'll be careful. I assure you I have no such hungers.

Annah: Well, I would take yeh at your word, but since ye succubi are all perfumed, lying harlots, I won't.

Grace: Very well, then.

Annah: I donnae trust that succubus. She's a fiend, so she is! They're all a-like, waiting for yeh tae to drop yer guard before sinking her teeth into yer neck. Don't ye be takin' yer eye off that fat slat, or she'll turn on ya faster than yeh can blink. All fiends are like that, so they are.

Grace: Not all of us, Annah. I would encourage you to be more open minded. You have fiend blood as well and you have many good qualities.

Annah: You just keep away from me. Fact, maybe you should keep away from all of us.

Annah: I've had enough o' you and her. Go on, travel with her then, if ye like her company, I'll have nothin' more to do with ye.

Grace: Annah, jealousy is a two-edged blade. If you kee-

Annah: Jealous? I'm not jealous! I don't even know how to spell jealous. I just don't trust ye... and none of us do!

Annah: How much longer are ye gonna be draggin' yerself with us, Succubus?

Grace: Annah, look, we should-

Annah: Oh don't you, 'Annah look' me, ya black hearted harlot, I'll carve yeh, so I will! Always puttin' on yer airs with yer fine clothes and yer nose up in the air -- I've had enough of yeh! Yeh can burn for all I care!

Grace: Annah, perhaps we should talk.

Annah: I've got nothin' to say to ye, succubus.

Grace: Very well, then.

Fall-from-Grace and Dak'kon

Grace: Your combat skills are most impressive, Dak'kon.

Dak'kon: They are but specks upon Zerthimon's path.

Grace: Your mastery of discipline is impressive, Dak'kon.

Dak'kon: In the eyes of Zerthimon, I am nothing.

Grace: Surely you are being too harsh on yourself.

Dak'kon: A long road must I still travel. This is but the beginning.

Fall-from-Grace and Morte

Grace: Your verbal skills are quite potent. I should have you spend some time at the Brothel when we get back.

Morte: Oh, the Gods are merciful!

Grace: Morte, I must confess, I'm curious as to how you became a floating skull.

Morte: It's a long story involving the head of Vecna. I don't want to talk about it.

Grace: (amused) That was you?

Morte: Could we *please* change the subject?

Morte: So, Grace... you uh, have any sisters?

Grace: Thousands.

Morte: Give me a moment to be delirious with joy.

Grace: I'm curious, what happened to your body?

Morte: Me? I'm the head of Vecna.

Grace: Morte, what are you again? I don't believe you ever said.

Morte: Me? I'm 'le petit Morte'.

Fall-from-Grace and Nordom

Grace: You know, Nordom, you are perhaps the cutest little rogue modron I have ever encountered.

Nordom: 'Cutest' is a subjective term. I prefer the designation 'fearsome cubed warrior'.

Grace: Of course! That's why you're so cute.

Grace: Nordom, you're a quadrone Modron, correct? Where are your wings?

Nordom: Where once there were two wings, there are now two arms. I do not know why I lost my wings.

Grace: It's like you're a little fallen angel.

Nordom: The theme of 'falling from grace with one's people' coupled with my loss of wings is something that I had perceived and catalogued. I have observed it mirrored in many individuals that I interact with. (probable reference to Trias)

Grace: Nordom, are you speaking to your crossbows?

Nordom: Negatory.

Grace: Oh, that's a relief. I thought that-

Nordom: I am not speaking to them, I am listening to them. They were submitting queries as to when they will get to shoot something.

Grace: Oh.

Grace: Nordom, how does it feel to be separated from the Source, from other modrons?

Nordom: Once I was 'one'. Now I am 'one', but it is a smaller, louder 'one'.

Grace: It seems you and Morte have much more in common than I first thought.

Nordom: Attention: Fall-From-Grace. I wish to address your body.

Grace: Pardon me?

Nordom: Your body. Your form. Your reason for selecting it. Why?

Grace: Why... I suppose I find it comforting. Besides, I rather like the wings.

Nordom: It would be more practical for you to assume the form of a modron. It is 13.27% more efficient. Give or take +5.2%.

Grace: Why Nordom, are you trying to court me?

Nordom: It was not my intention to initiate legal action against you.

Nordom: I estimate Fall-from-Grace to be found attractive by the male sex of 321,423 separate species. Give or take five.

Grace: Oh? Does that include modrons?

Nordom: I am no longer able to answer that question. I do not know.

If Morte is in the party:

Nordom: Attention: Fall-From-Grace. Do you exert optical gravity?

Grace: Pardon me?

Nordom: I have perceived you exert a field that forces others to follow you with their eyes. They lack the muscle control to turn away.

Morte: It's purely voluntary on their part, you idiot. Uh... not that I would know.

Nordom: Fall-From-Grace, is it true that 'every woman thinks floating skulls are hot stuff?'

Grace: Why, whoever told you *that*, dear Nordom?

Morte: No one! No one told him that!

Fall-from-Grace and Vhailor

Vhailor: Is your piousness atonement for your sins against mortals, succubus?

Grace: Such sins break no tan'arri law, Vhailor. My path is my own, and one of free choice, not punishment.

Notes

• Despite the fact that Annah is intimidated by her and shows her no affection, Grace's reaction to Annah dying ("Not Annah!") is more emotional than her reaction to other party member deaths.

• As a spell caster, Fall-from-Grace has spellcasting voice files: "May my faith lend me strength." and "Shiahwasey" (Shiawase, Japanese for "Happiness", is pronounced the same way, shee'ah wah-say'). It is not inconceivable that Grace the Sensate heals with the power of Happiness, but since it is not a direct reference to healing, it could be merely a coincidence.

Unused files

There are many files that were created for the game and never used, files that are in the game engine and were never used, and files that were not implemented at release but have been restored by patches.

Notable unused voice files for Fall-from-Grace are:

• FFG193: "I think you hide from yourself by dying. Do you hate life that much?"
• FFG072: "I don't think anything has walked on these flagstones for several lifetimes."
• FFG023: "Your actions have harmed many. Take care they do not harm anyone else from here on."
