What Happens if You Refuse to Join BLADE in Xenoblade Chronicles X?

There’s No Choice!

During the conversation with the Secretary, if you choose theRefuseoption and shrug your shoulders and shake your head,Nagi will simply attempt to convince you to join by making you feel guiltyabout Elma saving you from your lifepod from the White Whale.

After the guilt trip, you will be given another chance to make the “right” decision. Refuse once more, and Nagi will have some new dialogue, also trying to convince you again. And if you refuse a third time, the final dialog from him will give you one more chance to choose to accept.
