GreedFall 2: The Dying World may start with an early access period, but players can be sure that they will get a lot of content.
GreedFall 2 first five companions explained
Nilan is a fierce Doneigad and a close friend of the protagonist
Nilan is one of the most notable companions GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldsimply because of his pre-existing relationship with Vriden Gerr, GreedFall 2protagonist and player character. The two have been friends since childhood and Nilan becomes one of the players inside GreedFall 2The first few minutes as both he and Vriden Gerr are on their way to initiation as Doneigad. As for his personality, Nilan is a very fierce and stubborn opinionated person. As a native of Teer Fradee and Doneigad, he feels a great responsibility to care for his people and their island. His impulsive nature often threatens to get him into trouble, but his loyalty to his people is unsurpassed and he remains slow to trust anyone else.
Fausta was exiled and is now a spy in Olima
Fausta is another companion that players should encounter GreedFall 2the first few hours if they stay on track with the main story. Fausta was born in Thelema but was banished and sent to prison because she “saw things [she] she shouldn't have seen,” which is why Vriden Gerr ends up meeting her in a prison in Olima. Fausta could be considered the literal definition of a “smooth criminal” simply because of her uncanny ability to change her personality to better suit her audience.
Fausta is quiet and reserved for the most part, but this is mostly due to her life as a fugitive on the run.
Sybille is a member of the De Vespe family who is slow to trust others
Players will meet Sybille almost immediately after meeting Fausta GreedFall 2when he breaks Vriden Gerr, Nilan and Fausta out of prison. Sybille is a member of the De Vespe family and shares some quality with it GreedFall's De Sardet in that she is a former legate of the Congregation of Merchants. Unlike most GreedFall 2companions, Sybille is almost all business. This ultimately means that she shares Nilan's concerns because her trust is not liberally relinquished. She also exudes self-confidence, to the point that it can often come across as pure arrogance to the uninitiated, and she has a habit of making light of things, no matter how serious they may be.
Alvida is an honest but defiant Naut of Conviction
While players meet Alvida a bit earlier, she becomes a companion within minutes of meeting Sybille and Fausta in prison. Alvida is a longtime friend of Sybille and Naut with a strong belief in doing what is right and a heart of gold, no matter how much her reputation or wallet is at stake. Alvida's strong desire for justice makes her quick to defy domineering and dishonest authority. Being a Naut, one would think that her loyalty is only given to her faction, but injustice is an obstacle for her. Although Vriden Gerr and Nilan are captured and taken away from Teer Fradee on the Naut, of which Alvida is a crew member, she still leaves her crew to save the two natives in an attempt to make amends.
Ludwig is a sarcastic former soldier of the Deutani Empire
Ludwig is another companion that players meet shortly after arriving in Olima GreedFall 2the main story. As a smuggler, Ludwig knows every route between Olima and Deutan, so he immediately becomes useful to Vriden Gerr and Nilan after their escape from prison. Ludwig's personality and ideals could be described as a mixture of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood and Harrison Ford's Han Solo. So much of what Ludwig says has an air of sarcasm, yet he is very serious in his desire for the poor to be rewarded for their suffering caused by the rich.
