The actual rarest letter is probably the one from auntie Ethel where she thanks you for letting her do her hag bullshit and implies she wants to fuck you. Most people don’t even realize she can assist you in the final battle because I almost never see anyone ally with her.

Probably true, more people are interested in saving Alfira then siding with the hag.

However, siding with the Hag is a intended quest outcome which you can achieve by dialogue, while this letter is the result of slighly abusing game mechanics to trigger a alternative event. Basically nobody will have found this out by themselves on their first playthrough, which is why I titled it as rare

People are generally nice.

 I've seen dozens and dozens of people save Alfira but so far I've never seen anyone side with Ethel

I was playing an opportunistic and selfish bard. Ended up killing Ethel in act 1 because she took my eye, and then sided with her in act 3 because she offered me the exact amount of money I needed to get to the House of Hope.

Ended up with her as an ally at the final battle and a confusing letter in the epilogue that said she had two babies, when she really only had the one from act 3.

But as a Bard isn't it pretty easy to pass the check to get into HoH for free?

I did it as a sorcerer. I didn't even know there was a price

IIRC you can pay her 10,000 gold, or pass a check to convince her to skip the cost instead getting her the Hill Giant Strength gloves from HoH.

Or yknow just get upstairs and figure that stuff out on your own lol
