Thousand Hells Character Relationships and Conflicts

What is confirmed about character relationships?

The official store page says that not all heroes get along and recommends choosing a variety of skills and personalities. Public demonstrations also show companions commenting on scenes, but they do not provide a complete relationship table or prove that every reaction changes mechanics.

Relationship evidence	Status
Heroes may not get along	Confirmed as a published feature description
Personalities matter when forming a party	Confirmed as a published party-building consideration
Companions react to events	Shown in public material
Exact conflicts and thresholds	Not yet published

Use the personality traits page to separate a displayed trait from an inferred relationship effect.

How should relationship conflicts be tested?

Repeat the same objective with the same visible party whenever possible, then change one hero at a time. Record the party order, leader, relevant traits, dialogue, recruitment result, and physical or mental consequences. A single line of banter is evidence of a reaction, not proof of a permanent relationship rule.

Test variable	Keep or change
Quest and encounter	Keep constant
Party members	Change one at a time
Leader	Record explicitly
Trait visibility	Screenshot before the choice
Choice and result	Record exact wording

The encounter consequences page provides the matching structure for recording outcomes, and recruitable heroes tracks the roster side.

Can relationships be linked to endings yet?

No supplied source establishes a relationship requirement for a named ending. Until repeated release-build tests show otherwise, keep relationship effects separate from the ending conditions checklist and mark any proposed link as unverified.
