How To Start an Expedition
After unlocking expeditions at the beginning of Chapter 5, players may invite any of their teammates on an expedition by speaking to them in the base camp and selecting “Invite on an Expedition.” This will then offer the player a choice of destinations, though, initially, only the plains are available. Unlocking other destinations requires the player to purchase the relevant upgrades to the recreation quarter from the facility manager.
Expedition Mechanics
Once Shez and their companion arrive at the chosen destination the player is able to choose from two options. Choosing to talk with them will cause the player’s companion to bring up a conversation topic, and the player must choose their response from three different options. Players will need to be familiar with their companion’s personality in order to choose the right options, as each character has different interests and preferences. Choosing to ask a question allows the player to choose the direction of the conversation instead, after which they must again select the best response from three possible options for the best possible result.
The Talk option tends to offer dialog that is easier to read and determine the correct answer for when compared to asking questions, but asking questions can uncover additional information about the character (which offers no gameplay benefit but is often very interesting). After making three choices, the expedition will end and both the player and their companion will get a boost to their charm stat and their morale. The player also gains support points with their chosen companion.
Choosing the correct option three times during an expedition earns the player a “perfect” score and grants both Shez and their companion a larger boost to charm, additional support points, and a greater morale boost. Perfect expeditions also allow the player to observe their companion, triggering some additional dialog and a chance to present their companion with a gift. Choosing to give a gift at this point will further increase the number of support points earned.
