Yeah, finished Trademeet earlier - I'd forgotten to talk to the guy in the Gate District last time I'd been through there and headed out to Windspear Hills, which is wear I got the letter for Avery, so I went pretty-much straight from Windspear to Trademeet to see Avery. Anyway, I went back to Athkatla, did the Skinner murders and talked to the guy at the Gate.
That's about when I made that last comment and I've been back into the game and done Trademeet - haven't gone in to see the mayor again yet and I still have the other half of the Skinner plot to do as well.
Hmm... I tend to do everything I can get through in chapter 2 and leave only important plot for chapters 3 and 6. Blame that on role-play sensibilities dictating how I conduct the course of play - I feel that once the PC finally signs on with one or other side (I've never played Bodhi's side either, I don't see why a Good PC would align themselves with someone who looks like they're a vampire. The Shadow Thieves may not be all that palatable, especially to someone lawful, but at least they're still human) events involved in the Guild War demand all their immediate attention. Same thing applies with chapter 6 - basically the effort to get into Suldanasellar is all they'd logically be concentrating on - side trip to the temple ruins aside, but that's kind-of a "Do it bloody NOW!!!" thing.
I know logically that the game give leeway but it's the sort of leeway that doesn't quite fit into the plot sensibly.
Though your point about WK... I kinda see what you mean but I just wonder if that means he wouldn't have any direct interjections but the romance would still keep working? Still, I probably will leave WK 'til ToB stage, once the ToB module of Nathaniel is released.
I just feel like I'm belting through all the optional quests really fast and I don't want to miss any of the romance content because I play it through too fast.
