What to study

Quest dialogue that shows the writing and the choice together: Luther Graves, trapped behind a fence with a quest marker over his head, tells the player in two short paragraphs that the Slith slaughtered his caravan and kept him alive to eat later, and the panel answers with two responses, a helpful offer from Devil's Crossing (highlighted) and a mercenary probe about his coins. The portrait, the speaker nameplate, and the highlighted option teach the conversation pattern in one frame, while the world map, area label, and full HUD keep the encounter grounded in the Foggy Bank. Frame at 64.0 s in the Grim Dawn Release Trailer (Steam), timed extraction (scene-change extraction missed this settled panel). No trailer burn-in.
