For the most part, I really enjoy the choices in the personal story missions, but the choice at the end of “Going Undercover” seriously strained my suspension of disbelief.

Why exactly do I even have to decide this, when I am supposedly working with the Master Exemplar of the Shining Blade and the commander of the Seraph Guard? Between those two groups, that’s pretty much… like… all of the law enforcement in Divinity’s Reach, and I have the ear of the folks in charge. How is it that which direction the PC goes in means the other task goes undone?

Wouldn’t the local law enforcement have a major stake of their own in preventing a mass poisoning, regardless of what the PC feels like doing?

Alternatively, couldn’t Logan spare a couple of guards to go escort Quinn to safety – heck, even arrest him to keep him out of trouble for a few days?

For the most part I found the choices in missions well done, but this one just seems kind of… dumb. It doesn’t make sense to me why the PC would have to do these tasks personally for them to get done at all.

Does this make any kind of sense that I’m not seeing?

Sadly some of the choices in the story missions (particularly the early ones) don’t really make much sense, or usually don’t give a good explanation as to why we can’t do both.
