>This choice decides if Neve will work with the Threads or not, affecting the outcome of her final companion quest. Working with the Threads locks her into a path of protecting Dock Town, while refusing the deal will allow players to choose a path for Neve. Not true. I saved Minratous, worked with the Threads, tell her that she should protect the city during A Clear Mind quest and still was able to pick a path of hope.
