ASwS Supplementary notes to the official walkthrough
So, I'm going to share a few supplementary notes to the walkthrough (what's not written in it):
1) the cheatbook IS on your table in your house since the very beginning - grab it when you grab your bow;
2) your alignment goes down from 50 to 49 at the end of the Intro - I guess it happens when you help Kate and give her ring back.
How to raise your alignment (more corruption): +1 if steal a log after midnight; +1 if you steal a bottle of wine.
Moreover, when you cut wood with Tia: if Tia's corruption is 0 and you try removing her clothes, she will knock you down and your corruption will rise (+1 alignment).
3) you'd better ask Frisha and learn sewing as soon as you get your home back: craft anything you can and equip because they're very useful items.
Emily's quest - FIRST rescue mission:
- if you need money, every morning Mira will give you the money she collects for the ransom; first time she gave me 20 silver coins, then I went to rescue Emily;
- enter the shed - if you kill the bandit +1 alignment, if you don't kill him -1 alignment. There are 5 gold coins (if I remember well) in the chest under the bed;
- after you find the camp, go back to Lyvia and tell her: she will give you 3 gold coins. Now, get back to the camp and wait for the night.
Tia's quest:
Time to settle down in Rumah:
- if you give cumwine to Hiba, +1 alignment;
- you can't "buy" ropes using the cheatbook, therefore buy a lot of ropes from Lucius before finding the old chieftain inside the well and triggering the first "orc war" - you need a lot of wood, nails, ropes, wine, copper bars.
- when you learn to cook in Tia's quest: Penny can teach you how to cook a vegetable stew, too.
Lyvia's quest:
- bandit camp, after you rescue Lyvia: pick up panflute and shovel;
- garrison's barracks: if you steal money, +1 alignment.
- camp: if you give her cumwine, +1 alignment.

John's quest - the mine:
- if you bury the dead soldier outside mine: -1 alignment
- after you sent your mercenaries: if you are with Lyvia and you order to burn the dead corpses Lyvia's affection will rise;
- you will find a jade in a chest in the mine.
- if Lyvia is with you when you make burn the soldiers' corpses in the mine Lyvia's affection points will raise.
Raaisha's quest while searching for Orcs' village:
- if you find out Dasaan's tent and kill him: if you bury him, then alignment -5.
Rumah Village: Umah quest
- by defeating Umah's father you get: the Chieftain's axe
- after you build Umah's tent: when you talk to Umin and you ask for a new bow he will answer you that you have to build a workshop for him and a storage building in the clearing.
So build them: Umin will make weapons in the workshop and you will store 40 wood/food/and so on.
- Umin will be able to make a powerful new bow for you, but he will need 4 intestines of a plague fiend. Mind you: you can't have them using the cheatbook, so you must kill the plague fiends and collect them!

Mira's quest:
- if you want to solve the monastery mystery without arresting an innocent and succeeding in performing the ritual you have to read Heather's letter to her mom, then read Matthias' letter in your room, then finally confronting Heather before accusing anyone, therefore you must have sex with Bridget after the ritual.
