Dialogue[edit]

Ellie: "I got a problem -- I'm supposed to be guardin' this here town, but I ain't got any armor. Could you head to the forest and find me somethin' that'll protect all this beautiful girth?"

Approaching the Cottage:

Ellie: "This here's where the milita used to forge their armor, before the Sorcerer turned 'em all into skeletons. They oughtta have something in my size right here."

Killing the nearby treant:

Ellie: "Damn. Looks like somebody hid the armor up in that there tree. Might wanna give the tree a lil' love tap so it'll drop the goods."

After picking up the armor from the ground:

Ellie: "That ain't armor. Have you seen me? That little scrap wouldn't cover half a tit. 'Sides, it ain't like the bad guys are only gonna aim for my saucy bits. Find me somethin' with some more heft to it."

Finding the Plate Armor:

Ellie: "Now THAT'S what we're talkin' about. Bulky, protective, and one hunnert percent bad-ass."

Tina: "You gotta choice, my hos. Do you bring Ellie the bulky armor, or do you grab the more boobilicious metal bikini for her?"

Approaching to Ellie with the Armor:

Ellie: "Give it here babe."


Grabbing the Bulky Armor:

Ellie: "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Bring that hot stuff back here. I'm gonna look so damn cool --"

After donning the armor:

Ellie: "Feminism, baby! Woo woo!"


Grabbing the Metal Bikini:

Ellie: "You wanted the skimpy suit, huh? I guess I could make an eyepatch out of it, or .. or somethin'."

After donning the armor:

Ellie: "This ain['t gonna protect me for balls, but ... feel pretty hot right now. Ain't gonna lie."
