Benweth can live in Mirke's path. You just need a high diplomacy check I think. Don't plant a bomb, just talk to him after he plays.

From what I have read, only Aloth stays, and only if you tell him to abandon his business with the Leaden Key, saying it will work itself out.

He sounds like he was a pyromaniac from what he said, and he's being punished by being sent away from his country. He makes me a little scared. The Song of Ice and Fire book series deals with monotheism vs. polytheism in an interesting way; the monotheists say that the multiple gods are just different facets of a singular god.

That's the only nice thing you can say to him there too. It's either "I hate you", "You're a pain in the ass", "I don't care a whit about you", or "You're fun." I wish there was more to him. I like him.

It is really funny to blow him up, especially the lines he and the audience say right before he hits the keys.

I am wondering if Eder's ending would be better if I skip his personal quest. :/

No, there are 3 routes. You either storm in, stealth in to the forge and steal ship OR stealth in, go outside and do the quest with Mirke to make a party and blow Benwett up with a planted bomb when he plays the piano thing. And if you do it the Mirke way, you also get to talk to Syri the Siren who tells you about Remaro and his room before he left. You can also throw the party and NOT blow him up, but talk him down. You can also have the pirates steal his ship and you lure him to the outside walls and you can talk him down there. Aeldys is less angry if you keep him alive.

And with my unsuppressed Iselmyr, I can't get his +2 dialogue to trigger at all.

Behind the tavern room, through a locked door to the north, then to the right after the door is his room. Take Serafen into that room with you and a conversation will start.

Yeah, you kind of skip all the build up of romance and just go straight to, "Okay, we're a couple now." I've heard him comment on how he wants to take my girl to the bathhouse when everything is over, and how he enjoys their private time, and when Tekehu questions him, he remains pretty tight-lipped about their relations. But no further "love talks". He's kind of like "Old Owl Well" Casavir at this point. XD

I hope that with an expansion/DLC, Eder's ending will be changed because this is just depressing. I haven't beaten the game yet, but if he spends the rest of his life "camping on Elafa's grave" then that is just lame. He deserves better.

Someone said if you make Bearn hate Eder, Eder will come back to you in the end or something. Might be worth trying.

Whoops. I've been sailing for months with plot fruit in my inventory. Whatever timed portion there is has probably expired in my game.

Well, i've not tried to recruit him without destroying the orb, so... Maybe? But he's a decent crewmate. Doesn't eat or drink, i think (but costs more gold? maybe?) I was hoping he could eat my kith pies. :<

Well, for my girl with Aloth, Maia immediately turned that conversation into a romantic one, saying it was too bad my Watcher was already attached. If you don't cut her off with "let's keep it professional", she keeps hinting in a romantic direction otherwise. She doesn't outright say, "Let's bang," or anything.

It's Maia and Tekehu getting to reputation 1 with you too fast, in my experience. They hit on you as soon as they do. That rep 1 can come from one conversation with a NPC.

Yeah, that quest is kind of bugged in that when you pick up the Cornett of the Depths, Dereo thinks you have the Cornett of Waves and the quest progresses as if you do. That Ateira or whomever attacking you is supposed to happen when you first get the Waves from the rich guy in Serpent's Crown. She doesn't seem to appear if you have the Depths and then get the Waves, but you can still tell Dereo she attacked you.

They are.

I don't like voice actors to have lisps. The guy who played Atton Rand had one too. I emptied the "narrator" folder of its files as someone suggested; it removes most of her lines.

I think Eder only talking about going to see his parents is a bug, since that's what he does when his POE 1 quest is never completed. He shouldn't have that as his recent history with the Night Market or Mayor of Dyrwood endings.

I don't have a quest for it, but if they are the druids I think they are, they attacked me just for walking near them. I used a diplomacy option but they wanted me dead. I don't feel guilty.

I told her to release them and she did. But I had to pass some skill checks in a previous conversation before we got there to convince her it was the right thing to do. Might have been metaphysics checks.

I like him as a person, but I am put off by his scales. Fish scales are NOT soft, and if you accidentally rub them the wrong way or squeeze them too hard, it is a very sharp and unpleasant sensation. Fish scales are not smooth like snake scales.

Don't forget Thane in Mass Effect 2 with the dead wife. Yeah, they can never just have a bad breakup or something in their past. She always has to be dead and the guy is filled with regret for the rest of his life, and the PC has to try to pick up the pieces.

But it does come up again, at least with Aloth. He makes little romance-related comments about places the party visits, the way he talks to the Watcher changes, there are banters with other party members about the relationship - all these things are meant to combat the tendency you mentioned. Plus there's the scene at endgame, of course. I am looking forward to seeing this when things get patched. ^_^
