Depends on what you mean. Whether Claire can save her mom and Marie, just her mom or neither depends on how many days you've spent in Rivermont. Once you save them however there shouldn't be a timer anymore because of what happens right after the rescue mission and you could technically spent a month in Rivermont if you wanted to.
Well, given that the mercenary quest contains a direct homage to Goblin Slayer, this could be the case.
Yeah, it's some kind of fucking curse. The game has a lot of potential and you don't want to lose such a well-developed dark fantasy setting.
I believe nothing changes at all. I got Claire used again after she was impregnated in the brothel at Rathpike. No "prego" versions of any scene showed up. However, the game does let you know that it's too late to use abortificents after a certain amount of time. This then leads to Claire delivering her child once you decide to visit Valos' Inner City.
Pregnancy works in a VERY specific way in the game. There are no pregnant scenes. Once Claire gets pregnant, and you move through a part of Valos (Inner City? I forget which one) for a specific number of steps, an event will trigger that will lead to Claire giving birth to a daughter. You will then have to decide what to do with the child. This will most likely have consequences later on, but for now there's nothing more to it. I suppose at some point the child might grow up and become a character to interact with. I think the whole thing is rather silly becaue it implies a LONG time passing in game, which seems completely off to me, but hey - some people have a pregnancy fetish so it has to be in the game somehow
During her interactions with Esther, Claire has to do things that Lawrence doesn't want her to do. So picking the Warrior Queen book for her to read, remaining distant with Esther rather than befriending her, that sort of thing. If you choose the options to have Claire behave the way Lawrence wants her to when interacting with Esther, the option to fight back doesn't happen, and the best outcome is simply escape for Claire with Esther becoming his prisoner instead.
Visit the hospital.
lol I didn't even know this entire part of the map existed. thank you so much! do you perhaps also know where to find wildflowers? need it for a werewolf quest
Oh okay, thank you. I thought I'd already researched everything in the game, but I guess I missed something.
If it's one of the Ranger-related quests, then it's in the forest.
Head to Rathpike, the requirements for successfully completing quests is lower there and you gain more stats in the process. You should be able to easily hit those numbers.
