I chose hermosa, for all the reasons stated above. (and she has better quest rewards). I let her beat the other guy in combat first... (it changed the reward from finishing the quest btw... not that it matters)
I chose Igor, because I just like him better, rewards are the same, and he gives magic resist to creature (vs physical resist of the other).
I chose Barbosa or whatever he is called, not allen, because he has 5 degrees, while allen thinks "man I am such a terrible liar"... plus, better quest rewards. And I read that allen brew is bugged (and I still couldn't find any description of what it does)
I chose Wessen, because while his sword was not as good, he is much better at armor and gems than he is at swords. Plus I like him better, and his quest rewards are massively better. (he also has 2 quests instead of 1)
Same here
Hermosa(Slayer would kill me on sleep)
Igor(He is loyal,while second guy wanna backstab me)
Wesson(He is better with armors and I am mage so I need armors)
Barbatosa(Allan is liar while Barbatos is best alchemist in Rivellon)
I disagree on you choice of Alchemist.
1st of all, Allen isn't a lair, he is merely not confident.
2nd, personally i think Barbatosa is the one lying, reason:
- He knows he is on Sentinel Island
- He is, as he says, the best in one of the academic area, how can he not know what Sentinel Island is for
- He claims that all these are a trick when his own knowledge tells him all these can be very true
- Finally, he keeps saying he is the best.
Somewhat, i feels that he is doing what Hermosa wanna do, trying not to sound desperate while wanting every chance to live.
Between a over-confident professor and a timid/unsure apprentice, i prefer a apprentice who's limit is not yet exhausted and willing to learn.
Since one can always gain confident with a few success, but proud almost can't be corrected (there is a reason for it to be listed as prime evil).
