Hi,
I like it to read this time also the "stories" of other gamers their hero/heroïn !
So great & I love reading, especially exciting and/or funny written episodes of the adventures of ...
Farglow is the place you start the game, so if Senoura & Rex are in Broken Valley, Farglow is only "past"
Lucky you finding a Bangle with + 1 to Charm
! By the way, nice strategy you're using Senoura ! Go on with it and do not fail to use a "creative mind" to find more kind of strategy steps later on ...
And tell me about them, it interests me a lot !
A side note - maybe a good suggestion for Larian :
write down in some "Books" (we can find in you next RPG) adventures of heroes like you all can read on this forum. You've already done great work with the adventures of Robin and the story of some bandits 'killing' journal - great to read !
@Raze :
decisions ... always again decisions
That's why I have decised long ago (for year's) to stop "reloading" for better gear ... when I doubt I don't look at "loot" and come back later(but make a note to find later back in an easy way), otherwise I simply take the loot, whatever it 'would be'. That's my hero's 'Destiny' : take what comes or leave it for later ...
but don't cry 'my hero' if (coming later back and) the loot is NOT your "favorite" (my hero wish to see appear !) 
My "common" strategy is that I always first talk with some NPC's, Mindread them (but not all right away!), trade with vendors, go to the battlefields to gain a level and back again ... I remember I only solved 1 Quest per Level the first 5 levels (or more) and all the other XP came from fighting . I did the Miller quest (fighting Penumbra) around level 11/12 and was happy with the loot.
And further on I don't make a point of making more XP via mindreading the Island . A level lower simply give me more XP killing enemies. So this time I did not go the the Orobas Fjord at all. Maybe I go there if I've the lust to kill some 'Goblins', otherwise it's for later .
I don't make a point about XP just because I wish to have Fun and not worried about XP ... "Worries" are present in my real life, that's more than enough
