My thoughts on this part:
I/ Kaia, Mother of Dragons (II)
Another challenge for a 12-year-old mother.
3:45 Eggs boiled? I don't know if we should trust him 🙄
Fortunately, she just needs to take a blazestone in Orewell instead of warming the egg with lava heat.
7:13 Hint for the final boss in Alfyn chapter 4?
8:23 What a good guy! And this could be a hint to another problem we will face next part 🤔.
II/ A Miner Dilemma
12:28 She will give you a hint on how to solve this quest (what can be better than asking pro craftsmen about sharpening tools? 12:52, she even has "sharpen" as one of her skills 12:38) but her advice can be misleading. Orewell was the first place came up to my mind after hearing the stone's name. However, we actually steal/purchase it from an NPC in Goldshore, not Orewell 😂. If you check the journal list, it is indeed the whetstone we are looking for (18:19), so there is no other choice (I also did data-mining just to make sure). Now think about it, it could be a good pun, sharpener - sharper (trickster) 😂.
III/ The Weaver's Predicament
◘ Both choices lead to a happy ending. Gendy EITHER expands his market to the Frostlands, opting for targeting a wider customer base OR branching out his product line and expanding toward the clothing industry, finding a new market within his base of operations.
◘ Even if you didn't give the girl in Flamesgrace his carpet, she can still be warmed up with her new toasty fire (31:08). Let's compare both information, 31:31 (Inquire/Scrutinize route) vs 23:48 (Purchase/Steal route). We can't see it clearly from outside because her shove (right behind her) hasn't changed much since we come here 😂. if SE also did some visual change (like decorating her house with Gendy's carpet in 2nd choice) then it would be great 🤔.
◘ If I had to choose, I would prefer 1st choice because I wouldn't have to lose "Gendy's Footcloth" (for the 'perfect game' challenge but feel free to play whatever you want ✌)
