Yeah, Radcliff wins but if you read both of their minds you will understand that Wesson's strong side is crafting armors not weapons. So that contest was a bit unfair ;P
I did, this is why I chose him.
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)
