that depends... on who your character is and upon your own roleplaying style.
My character was a spoiled little rich girl, with parents being cousins
from family Ochoa, who never had paid much attention and consideration for others, prior Episode 1.
Mark has led Lora Antonia, alias Sister Sonya (and others), on a merrie chase between the Inquisition and her heretofore Invisible College mentors, (and some NPCs <sighs>).
She has learned some tough lessons in the campaign,
and may have to learn some more. Her increasing/increased Wits should certainly help, but it's not a guarantee. And, that's where role
playing helps a lot...
