I obviously played it too safe...Greta has left me just before setting out for Gull Island, and Alwan refuses to join me.

Is it possible to complete the game without either of them, or should I start over?

Any advice would be much appreciated, many nocturnal hours have been spent reaching this point, heh.

Yes, you can finish the game without either of them. Some play without letting them join at all.

There is one thing you should probably take into account, though; the fact that neither of them likes you probably suggests that you've been trying to play both sides, which could give you problems later on. It won't prevent you from finishing the game, but unless you're pretty much fanatically loyal to one side it can be difficult to get training.

I think this probably due to your killing Shen at Roamer Marsh and your giving the canister to Lankan.

Do neither and you will still get both of them. I think they are pretty useful for agent. My only mistake is focusing too much on strength instead of dex for Greta.

Hello Mollyx
You are probably in this situation because you killed the creator (So Greta leaves you, no matter what else you do), and gived more pro-rebel opinions (which Alwan doesn't like). Perhaps if you continue playing and give only pro-shaper opinions from now on, he will agree to follow you again. Perhaps leadership works too (no idea about that).
If you are too pro-rebel in your opinions, perhaps you should consider reloading a game before killing the creator and try to play as a pro-rebel by helping it.
Otherwise, there is no problem in being neutral, or nearly neutral. I think I am one pro-shaper opinion away from complete neutrality, and I have no real problems with trainers. I usually avoid giving opinions. I simply close the window when asked... And I also try avoiding killing people when unnecessary.

If one gives pro-rebel opinions and destroys creator, would Greta be leaving as well?

Is there a way to get both of them till Gull Island?

I actually like Greta and am really looking forward to her searer and essence orb powess but not necessary want to offend the shapers.

Yes.

There's no way to take both of them as far as Gull.
