Well I repeated WoTG missions and mini games a few times on my mules but I have only ever got to Captain rank once for ToA and some of those mini games I find much more annoying.
Ten perfectly timed sit ups, ten perfectly timed press ups on top of trying to work out the spy from a group of rats can prove a bit too much at times.
All this on top of having to DC yourself if you fail too many times to avoid having to wait till the next game day to try again.
PS: Wotg Bastok questline "The truth lies hid" and following quests/missions will send you in and out of Castle Zvahl Keep (S) more times then I can think.
Yes it is quite annoying if you get it wrong but at least most jobs can now fight off any aggro you find there while trying to work out which imp is lying.
(At least there's only 3 NPC's to deal with on this quest, I think there's 12 on the mercernary rank quest.)
As for rock/paper/scissors mini game, well that appears in both expansions except WoTG version doesn't punish you with a next game day wait if you fail. (I think)
Although I think WoTG version, you just get one chance to obtain signatures with Mr "Roundlouts" (yes I misspelled his name) if you lose his game.
Are any of these mini games making you not want to go on with it?
