Rebel path options

[Kernest]

I'm planning on starting a new playthrough at some point (hoping for news about ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s Wound first) and I intend to side with the rebels again.

Been a while since my last playthrough with them so I'm hoping for a refresher about which factions you can recruit and when.

Last time, after Act 1, I went:
Lethian's Crossing --> Bronze Brotherhood
Blade Grave --> The Unbroken
Stone Sea --> Beastmen

In Blade Grave I did not have sufficient Lore to not "use the pillow" kill the baby. I also did not go to the Burning Library first either.

So, since I can't remember or find it in the wiki, I was wondering whether the Rebel path allowed me to take Lethian's Crossing, the Burning Library and THEN go to the Blade Grave, hopefully better armed to lawyer that situation, or am I locked out of either the Library or the Blade Grave by going to the other, or by going to Lethian's first (don't remember if there was an option to not go to Lethian's).

This is based off memory, but I'm pretty sure it's correct.

You're forced to go to Lethian's crossing first and side with either the Forge-Bound or the Bronze Brotherhood. There's no escaping that. Your next choice is going to be between either the Unbroken or the Stonestalkers/Earthshakers (Stonestalkers if you chose the Bronze Brotherhood, Earthshakers if you chose the Forge-Bound).

If you choose the Stonestalkers/Earthshakers, the game will force you to side with the Unbroken last.

If you choose to side with the Unbroken, your next choice will be between the Sages and the Earthshakers/Stonestalkers.

So you can go to both the Library and the Blade grave, but not in the order you want. Forge-Bound > Unbroken > Sages should be the right decisions.

Hopefully you don't have to use that pillow again.

Thanks.

I intented to play as a tank, with little use for lore, so we'll have to see about that pillow...

IIRC Fifth Eye's helmet gave +10 Lore, which you can get by yelling "This is SPARTA!!" really loud, and some Skycap 'shrooms on top of that should put me over the edge, I was just hoping there was a way to do it without cheesing it.

Well, if you're a warrior with little use for lore, it makes sense you wouldn't be able to think of an obscure legalistic loophole (even if you are a sort of lawyer)--so you kind of chose the pillow when you neglected your studies in lore.

You can only remove all the edicts and you know go everywhere if you cheat in the rebel path. Once you use the console you can't get achievements but you can edit your save and enable achievements again.

Don't really need to remove all the edicts, did that already. I was just wondering about the order in which you can go to places.
