Therion Ch2 is a VAST improvement, he's still a prick but he actually seems competent this time. He's a dick to pretty much everyone in his banter scenes and it still doesn't make any sense why they're helping, but at least its entertaining now. That fucking boss took me about half an hour, nearly wiped me towards the end too, that would have been a huge setback. Olberic with 1000 spears seems pretty much a requirement for this one, I had him sat back at the inn.
Of course then it all comes back to that ridiculous motive of wanting to take off a bracelet which nobody else in the whole world even seems to care about haha.
