🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

I don't know what "Chempka Locken had in the previous game." I just need to compare the "adventures" of Genza and Ushumgall with Erika to understand what's what... Some get money, "three companions with a shared stash," free gear, "friends from the past"... Others get "roadblocks" in the form of "shuffling papers in the middle of the day" (this is to make it as difficult as possible to unlock a talent), "sleazy stuff with corpses" (yes, they didn't end up getting robbed, but that's not the point...), and now a theft right in front of their eyes (literally): the character stands there and watches as someone "subtly" steals an item they are currently interacting with... Neither the first, nor the second, nor the third can be explained logically. Everything is fair and just, yeah...
