Awful, just awful.
So I completed Rogue Knight, killing Penhelm when he intercepts you after you confirm his affidavit is a forgery. The quest proceeds to tell you to return to Osric with the breastplate, but originally the plan was to return to Commander Clyver to out his fraud. Returning to Clyver after having killed Penhelm (because he forces your hand) has no dialogue options to show him the affidavit or discuss Penhelm at all. This isn't the first time the game ignores actions of your party or other characters. I wonder, if I wiped out all of Gilded Vale before going to Raedric's Hold - would it make any difference?

The NPCs, and quests in this game feel completely dead. Nothing seems to matter. The soul reading is a lame replacement for having interesting NPCs to talk to with side quests (which seem very limited) and most of the quests don't seem to have much divurgency in how you complete them or the outcomes (though some do). E.g. Nobody recognizes that I own a keep right near Defiance Bay?

I understand this game is kickstarter funded and lower budget but I kind of assumed that with the old school isometric graphics all of the money and efforts would go towards making the RPG aspects at least as good as DA:O or if we're referencing Obsidian's past work - New Vegas.

...you know you can talk Penhelm into giving you the breastplate, right?
