@jsonbecker @selectric I assume some of it is that the incentives aren't aligned for one to buy the things you need quickly; they want dwell time, impulse purchases, aimless wandering in the Mists of Ravenloft, etc.
@selectric @pencilears I usually go through the guide myself but almost always land on the same as them. Maybe one exception for when I've met like council candidates at event and been convinced when it's down to multiple pretty progressive primary candidates.
