She only straight up tells about being a spy and only confesses about assassination when the Watcher pressures her after the deals were done already. And she knew what those missives most likely were about, that's why she was so shifty about it. It's not her first day in the army or assassination mission, apparently. So yeah, do whatever you want to bed her, but it's obvious she puts duty above all else, like morals or the Watcher.

It worked a second time (Pahowane) and third time (powderhouse) properly though. So, first a failure then success. And Rymargand can go to Hel - he's a hater of everything. Haters gonna hate... So what? I imagine they'll be able to make even bigger breakthroughs with it. Besides, I think it's relevance will be greatly overshadowed by what the Vailians will be able to find at Ukaizo. And judging by the ending slides future's looking bright on that front.

Do you have any evidence they will **** it up? It's not the first adra pillar they're experimenting upon, you know, so they're not complete noobs at it and know the dangers. Btw, I loved what they did in Neketaka - a teleportation invention? That one hell of a breakthrough! When they figure out the details in full, people will be able to travel instantly through adra to other continents, how cool is that?

That was also the main reason i destroyed the pillar: to me, it was either A) leave the pillar standing only to leave it for the vailians to experiment on, which seemed especially bad considering it already got corrupted without animancy experiments; or B) destroy it and all the souls in it, as well as removing one of the routes towards reincarnation (not a pleasant choice either) but at least making certain the adra pillar, and the souls that would end up passing through it, don't get corrupted or abused by the Vailians, as well-intended as their research may be. It got corrupted because of Anaharu, not the Vailians. Personally, I've no qualms about letting animancers experiment. Without experiments there will be no progress. If people gonna stay afraid of potential hazards of scientific research they will not accomplish anything. They won't understand how the world around them works, they won't invent any quality-of-life inventions and they certainly won't fix the damn broken Wheel. Sure, there will be failures but without them there won't be a success either. And not all animancers are mad scientists like some people would like to believe, there are also responsible ones. And I believe in what Giacolo said about them being able to self regulate themselves. It's just like in the real world - you can't stop progress, sooner or later it will win the hearts and minds of all nay sayers.

Bounties are up there in the open - somebody did something bad and bounty hunters got a permission to put a contract on that somebody's head. It's not some covert assassination mission of innocent people. And yes, they're innocent because they were not guilty of anything officialy - they were just stepping stones in factions rival war. And besides that, it's that Maia lies and hides that information on purpose is what irks me the most. So yeah, not my watch, Maia!
-
Personally, I didn't catch up that I was helping with assassinations until ending slides. But playing now I just can't help but see how shifty Maia is about this, she definitely knows where all of this is leading, and I just can't trust her anymore. I don't like companions using me for doing their dirty work while keeping me in the dark.

Ok, I've tested this and there is a way to fumble both assassinations. For the one in Fort Maje - persuade the spy to take the missive without dealing with the stalker. It will be later revealed that due to complications the spy had to leave port Maje. For the one in Tikawara - don't defend the spy and when the fighting starts get him killed (by npcs or backstab him yourself). Being dead he won't be able to kill anybody. The only assassination I wasn't able to prevent was Maia's, but it is not shown in the slides whom she killed anyway.

That is one damn fine stiletto he has, too bad dot is bugged and breaks rogue's invisibility. When it's fixed it will be a prime weapon with other rogue's dot abilities. -
The only buried treasure that I know of is from the Dunnage bounty quest. There's a woman in Dunnage market area who asks to kill 4 of her enemies, each of them drop a piece of a map. Once you get all 4 pieces you can assemble them and it will show that the treasure is buried on Drowned Barrows island. There will be an extra spot on the map you can loot. Don't remember if it had a random encounter or Red Hand though.

I know. Watcher, my ***. How about - watch your kid? Oh, and don't get me started about raising your kid on a pirate ship... Yea, living on a pirate ship is...tight. Btw, does she sleep in captain's quarters? Cuz if she is I think I know what the Watcher actually teaches her with all those romance hungry companions coming to visit
