I reached this quest in Lucula Forest and disappointed. With the help of the game's wikipedia, it appears that certain outcome will net you less experience than other outcomes.
Spoiler alert
If you choose to take bribe first by Lawrence and then deny finding the evidence to Nadia, the quest reward is only 3500.
But if you dont take bribe and rather tell Nadia the truth the reward is much more, 3 times or even more.
Why would I receive less XP ? Is the game "teaching" players not to take bribe or what ?
But further even if you dont take the bribe, it follows logical inconsistency in the last step of the quest. First option is telling Nadia to take bribe herself. Why ? Why would I not take bribe, tell the truth, and then tell her to take bribe instead ? What was the moral story here ? This is double crossing and it surprisingly nets much more experience.
I dont think the reward should be different xp amounts no matter the chosen way to finish the quest. Annoying.
And why did letting the miners go to the hall of echoes gave me + 1 romantic trait rather than + 1 spiritual should have been ?
