Haha, yeah, Rinny protects you while she's with you XD. That's been in since the start!
And nope, haven't done anything to change the Edith fight!
You mean I've been devoid of special encounters just because I love Rinny-as-companion? The HORRORS!! (Still like her, just wish there'd be something in place where LD and Rinny have a little fun with the two incubi...)
Guessing that my resilience must have been rather low the first time I fought Edith then, at 10 she wasn't too tough.
I do LOVE that you treat holding hands like it's some secret fetish, and most people aren't sure what to make of it! :) Sammy's is especially funny because it's at her work!
