Picking this quest ends the chain early. Comments on the other crossroad quest are misleading. It's once per family; don't screw up like I did

Accepting the other crossroad and not this one seemed to be the last quest for me. The first crossroad I selected in chain was [Crossroad] The Revealed Scheme of the Wicked. I do not think that selecting the other crossroad choice will necessarily "continue" the chain - but depend on the earlier crossroad you chose.

So here is what I think happened...

I believe that either quest may not continue the chain further unless you sided with Gongklad by selecting the first - [Crossroad] Gongklads Companion.

I can only presume most people "spam R" and do not read storyline, and expect things to work as outlined in codex chains. One crossroad does not follow another in this (and likely other) chains, yet it is oddly indicated so on codex. Furthermore, since you may have "spammed R", you would have selected the honest crossroad, which I think would lock out quests passed this point, regardless of if you choose this or the other.

The crossroad quests give player a choice of path in the story, and will either lock or unlock later quests depending on what was chosen. I learnt this completing the Balenos storyline (multiple times) to acquire knowledge completion.

By selecting the first "[Crossroad] The Revealed Scheme of the Wicked", you chose to be lawful and not wicked, therefore I think that is why you cannot progress later to "Working with the Wicked" because you did not work together in the first place and therefore have nothing to celebrate with him.

Most of the quests from Gongklad I think will come if you choose to work with him.

I think that if the above turns out to be correct, a notice comment for crossroad selection should be added to the first quest in the chain.
