No idea on Parental Approval.
As for Ego Raccoonis...
You get that as part of completing "Mind over Matter". For me it started by finding Bellegar's Coin on a corpse on such-and-such Lane. When I found the person looking for that, they gave me an item someone else wanted, and so on in a chain reaction of sorts. Eventually everyone got their item, including the Raccoon Rune for Valeri. You don't need to enter undead areas or dungeons to complete this quest/achievement. Oh, and in case you didn't realize: as the quest name suggests you can only do this by reading minds.
Yeah, i have the Bellegar coin and i have the Mind over Matter quest for Valeri, but i just dont know where to find the rune, or who else to mind read to continue the quest to get the rune..
Unless you have level 15 Mind Reading I suggest saving your game, reading the mind of a character that allows it, and if it's not something you want reload and try someone else. There are roughly six people involved in the quest and lots of people in the city can be read so yeah it's tedious, not to mention hard on your XP at low Mind Read levels.
Then again, maybe that's why FoV has respawning enemies; we can make up for lost XP due to reading minds.
