Now that Ester is wanting to go get the princess I just hope they don't switch again and Ester runs into the thieves chasing the princess and they switch again lol - I would love to see them team up and clean house with all the corruption there is in the palace
		
		
	 
Yeah, having just played through it I had the same thought/worry. 
Esther heading off towards the village could be a set-up for something like that.
The ideal outcome would of course be Brigitte seizing back power and cleaning house 
thoroughly, sending her false friends packing and ordering messy public executions for Jonquil, Bruno, and his crew, while sending her 
new no. 1 assassin to dispose of Titus. Esther could have Tristan to toy with as a reward.
Alack and alas, we don't often get all that we hope for in this life. Instead this update sees Esther's 
big bid for independence leading her right back to performing at Jonquil's behest. And Cassandra and Be'Keh 
board the high treason train with Jonquil and Will, so that's something.
Oh well, Simon's sister-in-law looks cute though.
Other than that, I see that the prologue has been heavily revised, seemingly to guide player sympathies by pointing out (intended) goodies and baddies more clearly. A touch heavy-handed perhaps, but maybe it'll work for someone playing the game for the first time.
