As of Patch 8, Alfira has incredible rewards for the player depending on how you choose to help her with her song.

  • If you choose to inspire her by talking about her teacher, she performs the beautiful "Weeping Dawn" song in a lovely cinematic.
  • If you choose to inspire her by playing her teacher's lute and successfully pass the two Performance checks, she gives you Lihala's Lute and you also gain proficiency in Musical Instruments, but unfortunately she does not perform the song

So both decisions have very unique and lovely rewards, one purely artistic while the other material, but the player misses out on such a sweet moment with Option 2.

My suggestion is;

  • Please make "The Weeping Dawn" cinematic play for both choices as Performance checks are a much harder path towards her inspiration
  • Passing both Performance checks could show our main character continue being her instrumental backup in the background during the cinematic

This way both choices will have "The Weeping Dawn", but the harder choice will have a bit of extra if the player wishes to go for it. Right now it feels punishing to do the harder path, but not see her perform.
