Thanks for this. I instinctively choose the insightful choices cuz it fits Aloy's inquisitive nature but its cool to see all the choices during this moment.
SneakySquidGames And the other two options don't? Confront reflects Aloy's bluntness, namely that she never hesitates to tell people exactly what she thinks of them even when it wouldn't be wise to do so (like here, since Sylens coldly throws it back in her face). On the other hand, Empathy reflects her, well, empathetic nature and how she can easily relate to people who have suffered loss, to the point that she can go from scolding someone one minute to showing sympathy for them the next.
Well i never though of it that way. When you look at it that way, the different options do seem to all fit. Aloy does have a blunt and empathetic nature as well as her inquisitive nature. Aloy can be blunt like when she is talking to Grata and Rost about the All Mother, and she can be empathetic like when she is talking to Sylens about what happened to the Alphas.
aaaand that's why I typically go for insightful options, but occasionally choose compassionate ones when it comes to other people, it shows that aloy can be just as focused and perceptive as sylens but still differ from him with her empathy for humanity, something that sylens doesn't have.
