Bruiser

I'm sorry if this has been suggested before, I haven't had the chance to read through the thread yet, but it would be nice to have a non-violent resolution when talking to Trygil after unconvering the Skaen plot. The options I chose were sympathetic to the conspiracy (spoilers: aligned with the blood pool and sent Aelys back to murder her uncle), so it seems strange that Trygil would be hostile towards me. I even wear the Skaenite robe and hood

Just want to add I've experienced the same problem, not being able to bridge the chasm and being unable to unlock the door you referred to in your spoiler tag.

Not much. Entering a new world, I expect elements to be foreign, and could imagine unintuitive pronunciations being effective as long as there's been enough familiar material introduced to keep me grounded.

Instead of being inspired by flavor, that the Monk's gear choice emerges from its core mechanic is really smart. And I love the concept art, especially the flamboyant Vailians. I don't think I've ever been this interested in playing a Human in an RPG.
