The achievement pop after that dialogue !



If something is missing, please write it in the comment.

I took a look at the Steam version of the games conversation files. There are only nine choices in the game that prevent the achievement from popping.

When the choices come up, simply pick any other option:

Chapter 9 (3 Choices):

At some point in the chapter, during a random event where tracks to a small camp are discovered. If you initially choose to ignore them:

"Surprise registers on everyone's face..."
Do not Choose: "You heard me: leave them."

Just after being introduced to Oli, you approach a defended village:

1st Choice:
"Your caravan moves closer but stays out of arrow range..."
Do not Choose: "Not worth it. We keep moving."

2nd Choice:
"You grab the Raven banner and advance on the town, dodging a warning arrow..."
Do not Choose: "Let these bastards rot out here alone!"


Chapter 11 (3 Choices):

In the Bindal barn at the start of the chapter after discovering the cart's contents:

"Bolverk, hey! Folka's voice draws you from the dream..."
Do not Choose: "I felt betrayed. Hurt."

During the conversation immediately after when planning how to leave Bindal:

"The Valka have pathways there that will grant us escape, but with all of these people, it will be difficult."
Do not Choose: "Ask what you can do to help"

In the caves after a major fight Zefr states you're lost:

"Sorrow and uncertainty swirl across the Valka's face until she finally stands still..."
Do not Choose: "We're Lost?!"

Chapter 13 (3 Choices):

After leaving the village Dytch, during a conversation with Sparr:

"From over a hill, dredge emerge, armed. "Let me and a few others handle this lot," Spar says..."
Do not Choose: "Send a dozen fighters to keep the dredge at bay"

After fighting a few battles against the dredge, during a conversation with Krumr:

"Krumr, the old varl war leader speaks up..."
Do not Choose: "Keep quiet. Talk like that only spreads fear."

In Old Ford, during a conversation with Folka:

"An oath isn't worth all our faen lives!"
Do not Choose: "And go where?"

Achievement will pop just before the battle on the bridge in Old Ford.
