Well I'm asking about this because so far anyway, the story has sucked me in pretty good. Although I've already lost some influence with Kriea, or whatever the old broads name is. I know this has been placed in the spoilers section but I would appreciate it if we can keep this kinda spoiler free, as I'm just starting the game.
Just how important is the influence system in the game? I'm only now just trying to start the quest for the Itharians, (escorting their robot), as I've decided, for the time being anyway, to ally with them. Guess I'm just wondering if I need to really pay attention to this part of the game.
Again, thanks.
