One thing of interest I noticed was that the choices that allowed the best outcomes, such as getting the gold and getting to stay alive seemed to have to do with deciding to break the rules while being smart at the same time. Doing things like trusting people who seemed untrustworthy would result in either your death or not getting the gold you were looking for. That seemed to be the general idea of each choice. Everything that happens is the result of rule-breaking in the name of "adventures" and still making somewhat intelligent decisions
