Agreed. I played through the Ossus story once (Pub side, toon I used a master datacron on and didn't romance at all), have not retrieved Paxton Rall yet (same reason; Paxton has been sleeping in all the wrong places and is infested ), and am not sure about all the implications, for alt's sake, so I'm going slowly. I really appreciate CloudCastle's thread about this; here
I really enjoyed the story. Will be playing a 70 Imp toon (prob. SI) through it soon with autocomplete and just see how it plays. No spoilers here; just wanted to say how pleasantly surprised I was at the romance options, the story cut scenes were more than I expected, and Ossus/quests are great
