haha yeah; i mainly stuck to your guide, and was just trying to figure out how to get that missing piece. per previous replies, I was throwing spaghetti at it til it Worked (though i had my suspicions on what was needed. I noticed many of the electors accepted Zorana really quickly in your guide and I had gotten interesting tidbits when I had to do quests for those same electors)
I normally pick up Lorkas for media skill otherwise -v-
