     Sabres of Infinity 
  • If Elson is saved without disrupting the mock charge:
    Captain Montez: "Cornet, what you did this morning was a display of initiative and quick-thinking far above the call of duty. It was an action which places you among the ranks of the finest of men. Don't do it again."
  • The rare moments when Cazarosta opens up and talks about himself and his philosophy, he explicitly says that no one else would listen to him because of his Deathborn status, implying that, under his cold exterior, he considers the player character the closest thing he has to a friend.
  • If the MC decides to tell Captain Hunter the truth about Captain Lefebvre's deed on killing potentially innocent Antar peasants, the Achievement poped up is "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know".If you (the reader) understand the origin of this quote, you might find that having the moral high ground is worth more than anything that Captain Levebre officer might give your character as a bribe.
    • If that is not enough, Captain Hunter will express his gratitude not by giving a simple punishment to the captain or a thank-you note to the player, but 400 crown and a letter of recommendation to make sure he is promoted to Lieutenant so that he will avoid any retaliation for being honest. Who says no good deeds goes unpunished?
  • If the Dragoon officer rep is high enough,then before you enter the reception hall the sheer fact that your old commanding officer mentions that the 'General' of the army took notice of it, and wants him on his staff.
  • In the final battle, using the Power of Trust to convince Cazarosta to let the player retain control of their forces in guarding the Tierran army's retreat, considering his consistently misanthropic nature, to hear him say he completely trusts you is a highly touching moment.
    Cazarosta: I trust you. Your men will answer to you, and you alone.
  • If the MC treated his men well throughout the story and drinks with them the night before the final battle, they acknowledge how unusual it is for a Baneblooded officer to be so supportive of their men, and express their gratitude to him for turning them from conscripts into true, professional soldiers.
    Dragoon: Sir, it's been five years since I first served under your command, you've taken these farmers, labourers, thugs and broken men from a dozen different lives, and turn'd us into the finest soldiers in the King's entire bloody army. So here's to you sir! Here's to the only baneblooded git in an army of baneblooded gits daft enough and good enough to drink with his own men!
  • During the final battle when preparing for the enemies' charge, in a battle that with little chances of surviving, the MC can allow any soldier under your command to leave. If the men are loyal enough, this happens:
    After a few minutes of silence, you count your men again. You are almost surprised once you finish your tally: your men have decided to stand with you.
    Every single one of them.
  • If you pick Fenton as your character's sergeant, he will stay with him during the desperate charge at the final battle no matter what. Even if you been a Jerkass to your subordinate and they abandoned you, Fenton will follow him to the end of the world. Sadly, when it happens, the only outcome is a Downer Ending that gets both of you killed in the fight.
     Guns of Infinity 
  • Deciding to support the motion to saint of your old commanding officer in the first game (Hunter) into essentially elevating him to godhood.
  • If your MC was close friends with Elson then every rebuke the MC makes in Elson's defence is definitely one. Especially if it comes from a really cynical MC. Just because they didn't agree with one another does not mean that he was any less of a friend and comrade.
  • During the sack of Kharingia you can form a perimeter in order to protect the Antari inhabitants from the reprisals of your comrades that may include rape,murder and robbery.
  • If the MC was knighted by the king in the first game, has a good relationship with the Duke of Cunaris and if he's been mentoring Renard, then Cunaris asks the MC to squire his eldest son and heir, mentionning that Renard sees him (the MC) as "the elder brother he never had the fortune to have".
  • Sparing Keane andasking for leniency. Your character even notes at how he already looks much better. Especially since it's obvious to anyone he's been severely traumatized by the war.
  • If the MC has a high relationship with Cazarosta and decided to visit him before the Second battle of Kharangia, you'll get this line:
    "Know that you have been far better a friend than I deserve."
  • If your MC's squadron has high enough loyalty, you can relay your regards to the staff-sergeant, and the squadron will cheer in the MC's name. Although his status at that point is too high for him to join the common soldiers for a drink, they are still grateful of having him as their commander.

     Lords of Infinity 
  • There are multiple instances in the game no matter the path you take to help the Antari refugees now flooding Tierra. This includes donating so much money that it makes stoic church orders show emotion. Or taking several families of refugees into your estate. The hospitality you can show them can be so great they are elated to finally pay taxes and give back to you for your help.
  • Knighting Renard also count as one. After years of training and squiring under your service, the young lording had managed to accomplish something that is based on his merit rather than birth, and you, as the mentor, played an important role in making this possible.
    • One of the notable scene is giving encourgement when Renard is at loss during the training.
    Dragoon Officer:"Does His Grace know[that Renard is confused about becoming Knight of Red]?"
    Renard(shaking head):"And I ain't mean to tell him. Everything I've got, I got from me father. Don't tell me that ain't true. His money's what bought me a commission in his regiment. His influence kept me rising in it, even in peace when better men like you've been turned out of it. Ain't a damned thing I've earned for meself, and when he dies, everything I'll have, I'll owe t' him. Before then, just once, I'd like t'earn something for meself. Show him that I can do it, eh?"
    Dragoon Officer: "He knows."
    Renard:"Sir?"
    Dragoon Officer: "He knows that you mean to show that you're capable of standing on your own two feet. That's why he sent you to squire with me, so that you may earn a place in the Order of Saint Joshua, instead of simply inheriting his own place as Grandmaster of the order of Saint Jerome. He told me as much, when he asked me to squire you. He sent you here to prove it: that you're capable of enduring hardship even when you don't have to, that you have the ambition to compass your goals and the force of will to seize them. He knows what you're capable of, but he also knows you must prove it to yourself."
    (Renard's eyes blazing with a new-lit determination.)
    Dragoon Officer:"Now, again!"
    • And the conversation above makes a perfect match to your conversation with Cunaris, showing how much Renard respects you as an mentor.
    Cunaris:"It is a most curious thing, [Dragoon Officer]. When I first saw fit to entrust you with the care of my son seven years ago, I hadn't the faintest idea what sort of man he would become. I feared that he would resent me for not placing him under my direct command. That his development would be…stunted, curtailed perhaps, by such ill feeling." He sits back and smiles then, one hand gripping the arm of his wheel chair, a glass of brandy propped up in the other as he stares out at the autumn sunset. "I am very glad to know how mistaken I was, and I believe I have you to thank for it."
    Dragoon Officer:"I only did as I was asked, Your Grace. That was all."
    Cunaris:"I asked you to help keep him safe. You've helped him do far more than that. You've helped temper his impetuousness, grow his mind, and use his courage to his advantage. You have helped teach him caution, wisdom, and when to throw both to the winds." He looks down at the thick blanket which covers the ruin of his legs. "One day, not long now, I suppose, Renard shall be Duke of Cunaris. I no longer worry about what might happen when that day comes. For that peace of mind, you are owed my deepest gratitude."
    Dragoon Officer:"Thank you, Your Grace. That's very kind."
    Cunaris:"One day, I suspect you will have children of your own. Perhaps then I or my son shall have the opportunity to return the favour you have done us. Good evening, [Dragoon Officer]."
  • Doubles as TearJerker, if you are friends with Cassius and meet him in the right circumstances he will share with you that he wishes nothing more than to retire on an island with you and make brandy. The Dragoon Officer even thinks it sounds great, before he reminds himself of the realities of his situation.
    Cassius vam Holt: "We could buy an island off the coast of Butea...We could hire laborurers to build a house, and a distillery, and we could make brandy for theh rest of our lives."
    Dragoon officer's inner thoughts: In truth, there is an appeal to it, to live away from the cares of society, in the company of a friend. Perhaps-

  • When you decide to turn the perpetrator to Intendancy, Cunaris will meet you at his office, criticizing you on how your decision angered the Royalists and potentially instigating civil unrest within the city. Before you were dismissed, however, Cunaris give you a parting remark.
    Cunaris(choke with emotion):"I— I have also received two other visitors: a printer and his wife, grieving the loss of their children. They requested that I pass on to you the following message; that though they will never truly recover from the hurt they have suffered, the knowledge that the man responsible will face some measure of justice will make their pain bearable. For that, they thank you.(Pause) It would… It would be very impolitic for me to say this, given the ruin you have just made of the regiment's broader situation, but you did the right thing yesterday. You did the right thing, and I would like you to know that I am proud of you for having done so."
    Dragoon Officer(teary eyes): "Yes, sir."
    Cunaris:"Dismissed."
