So, I just saw a video where the rite of thorns actually got completed after a series of misfortunate events. I thought, hey that's awesome. So, I propose that it would be really cool to be able to trigger the rite of thorns, (unless you already can and I have not figured out how to), but still be able to complete the main quest line (i.e. side with the goblins or the tieflings), and to see the aftermath of doing so later in the game, especially since cloakwood is so close to the city. This would be a lot of fun to explore and see the consequences of the decision play out, even if in just a small side quest, or something, anything more than just seeing the thorns surrounding silvanus grove (by accident, I might add). A playthrough like this would be even more enriched by either convincing Halsin to still join or, or to turn on you, much like he does if you side with the goblins. There are so many different things in this game, some hidden and some not so hidden that and the fact that there is ALWAYS an alternative consequence to something is phenomenal, adjusting just this small part would only make it that much more amazing. Especially since Olodan is an important (as far as i can tell) character in the older games. It's awesome she even shows up at all, but leaving her alive would be really cool, if we can encounter her later in the story.
