[Tiago]

Oh, it seems one needed to fail at active investigate or investigation leader to get the interaction with the wife. Fixed now.

[Hatax]

Didn't get wife event in chapter 6b, my fiancee relation is at least above 70.

[Tiago]

Yes, Estate Path and Aetoria Path merge in chapter 7.

[Awaken Iron!]

Question: does the Estate path end at chapter 6b? Regards.

[Tiago]

None, if there will be any affect later it will only be in the next game.

[Tutsi Noncombatant]

Any idea what the consequences of embodying the houseguard/other options for the chapter where you are serving with the Regiment in Aetoria?

[Tiago]

Fixed

[Shay]

I suppose the final result meant to be alternating all / few, but it isn’t. A typo for sure. Good guide either way.
