History Funny / Pyre

** If, on the other hand, you choose to encourage her [[spoiler:she will laugh at you for [[{{LoveYouAndEverybody}} interpreting it as romantic]] and run off to tell Hedwyn.]]

-->'''Amir Rao''': (Deadpan) "''The Pyres.''"

-->'''Amir Rao''': "The Pyres, Danny. The original name for Pyre was of course ''[[AtrociousAlias Goals]]''. But we decided to not go with that."

-->'''Greg Kasavin''': "There's this massive, metal pit beneath a trapdoor in our office floor. Once every three years, we send in members of our team, two at a time, in there, to fight, barefisted. Sometimes, other members of the team throw in things like [=2x4s=] or small pointed objects. We wait until one person can no longer fight, then send in the next. It's ordered by drawing lots. Whoever is the last one standing, whatever game they want to make, we make it."

* Speaking on food, one moment in the game has Hedwyn asking you what he should cook up for a meal. How the game presents each option seems less of a banter and more like [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choices]]. Moreover, if you try to pass the judgement to Hedwyn, [[ButThouMust he throws it right back at you immediately]], sick of having to pick something every 8 days and Tariq not helping much with choosing.

* At the point where you choose the Stowaway's name the very last option is [[MemeticMutation Bae]] which the flavour text describes as: [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude "This can't be her real name...right?"]]

* At one point, [[spoiler:Bertrude]] will get sick and both you and Hedwyn check on her, but she'll believe that Hedwyn is hitting on her, and will even reminisces about the time she was young and many men were after her. Once that ends, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she thanks for his concern and states she enjoys the time she spent with the group]].

* You can tell Volfred that the Book of Rites, the key to escaping the Downside which only you [[spoiler:and he]] can read, is boring. He [[ActuallyPrettyFunny laughs at you]] and tells you not to [[BerserkButton blaspheme within earshot of the Lone Minstrel or the Gate Guardian]].

%%* In the penultimate rite [[spoiler:the opposing triumvirate never arrives]]. What should be a poignant moment can be rendered unintentionally hilarious because of the fact that [[spoiler:you still have to "win" the rite by sending the orb into a pit somebody dug]].

** ... Unless you opponents are the Dissidents, in which case they ''will'' be there and fight you as usual. All other teams might have given up on escaping, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration but Barker never cared about it anyway and just wants to continue the rites for the sake of it.]]

** The existence of [[IncrediblyLamePun Xylobones]].

** [[spoiler: Depending on your choices he will actually shave it off.]]
