The best walkthrough was that simplified/optmized one they deleted. But rafael's not that bad.
I don't use it for choices, but for a condensed source of information regarding things like "items, quests optimal order and general steps. For instance, For instance, I had trouble finding elsewhere what where the requirements for aka's custom dagger quest trigger (35k pron).
The calculator is very good, but it won't tell me how many monsters there are on the map, it won't tell me how many items I missed and such, and having to go through 6-8 tabs while playing is annoying.
I do get what you're saying though, I just left stineford, and "a big no" for me in his version was whoring Qum, and hiring a prostitute, hurting Aka's rp by a bit.
