The trial? That damn trial who just ignores all your hard work and just forces into a freaking duel!? My warlock ass is still tender from that god damn duel. That said everything else about that trial was good indeed, just...not the end of it...
My bard cast invisibility and just hit the guy while he couldn't see me.
And your conversation choices and historical choices affect the verdict. The duel doesn't matter too much, that's really just something that happens afterwards, though it would be nice to have been able to skip it somehow. I got the dwarf to fight in the duel for me, so there's that.
I had just leveled up and wanted to try new abilities. Oh the hubris...
And I was playing a biowerean evil (only way for me to enjoy that campaign was to make suffer all those smug bastards), so there was that. As I said the trial was enjoyable, just not the I DEMAND TRIAL BY COMBAT!! part. And I always hate mandatory duels in party based games.
