Overview
This section tackles one of the main quests in harbour city, particularly pertaining to Cid, the Don's man, and Rodriguez, the Warrior of the Order. Quests marked with (D) can be completed only if you choose the Don's man, and quests marked with (I) are the ones for the Inquisition. Quests without marks are/can be safely completed without choosing a side. As far as the numbers go, choosing the bandit's path here rewards you with 1255 experience and 200 gold, while going with the Order gives you 1050 experience and 300 gold.
What is Rodriguez Planning
To start this chain, talk to Cid (
#1), right in front of his house. He'll say that Inquisition tends to brainwash people they abduct. He'll pick Rodriguez for example, stating that he was a decent thief until they caught him. Having returned from the monastery, he's completely changed. Therefore, Cid would like to know what has happened to Rodriguez and asks you to find that information out from him.
Rodriguez (
#2), now a Warrior of the Order, tells you a story about Cid. Apparently, Cid is behind the recent robberies that occured in the town. Rodriguez wants to stop him, but needs more evidence and hires you to investigate the victims of the robberies: Flavio (
#3) the merchant, Nelson (
#4) the cartographer and Baxter (
#5) the book keeper. This information opens up the new quest,
Find the Burglar's Spy.
To complete the quest, just report back to Cid. This earns you 125 experience and Cid suggests that you should report to him if you ever find the spy who provided intel for the thief who committed the robberies.
Find the Burglar's Spy
The follow-up quest from Rodriguez (
#2) deals with the robberies and finding the robber's spy. The people you should talk to are Flavio (
#3), Baxter (
#5) and Nelson (
#4). Flavio won't have a lot to say, except that Pavel, Vasili and Doyle were the people that were around his place on the day of the break-in. Baxter will mention Mo, along with Vasili and Doyle again.
Your last stop is Nelson, where you'll learn that his ring was stolen (
Nelson's Ring quest). You'll also learn that his house was visited by Mo, Pavel and Doyle.
There's only one name that appears in all the cases, and it seems to be Doyle. He's hiding out in Costa's motel (
#6). Talk to him and after a few menacing words, he'll submit and you'll get 200 experience for confirming your suspicion. Now, the path branches into two ways. If you wish to choose the Order, tell him to turn himself to the guards. He'll also rat out Cid and you should report to Rodriguez (
#2) next (this continues in the quest
Get Rid of Cid). If you, on the other hand, choose Cid, just tell him to disappear for good (quest
Doyle Must Disappear.
Nelson's Ring
Nelson (
#4) says that he's missing his ring and would like to get it back. His ring however, adorns Cid's wife, Kayleigh (
#1). To resolve this issue without conflict or pickpocketing, you'll need to bring her a pearl necklace. This is explained in the quest
Pearls for a Lady.
Having attained the ring from Kayleigh (either through pickpocketing, fight or the optional quest, return to Nelson and give him back his item. He'll be so delighted that you're being honest and therefore will just let you have the ring, which also nets you 150 experience. The ring itself will prove to be useful while traveling around, as it gives acrobatics skill. It reduces and removes (if the height isn't very big) fall damage, making it excellent to cut ways through the city by climbing and jumping off the rooftops.
Pearls for a Lady
To get the ring from Kayleigh (
#1) without being aggressive, you'll need to bring her a pearl necklace. These are somewhat rare, but you should have one in your inventory if you didn't sell it. There's one in the barn on Tristan's farm from much earlier in the game. If you sold it, then you might have to skip this quest as another one is found within a level 3 lock chest in harbour city, but you probably do not have the needed magic scrolls or pick lock skills (you can learn as much as level 2 in the first chapter).
Anyway, if you do have the pearl necklace, just give it to her and you'll receive the ring, along with 50 experience.
Doyle Must Disappear
If you choose to cover up for Cid in
Find the Burglar's Spy, tell Doyle (
#6) to disappear from the town. This way his secret stays with him. This earns you 200 experience. Report this to Cid (
#1) to get additional 150 experience for your efforts.
You can also tell Rodriguez (
#2) for 25 experience that his suspect is clean of all charges due to no evidence. Check up on Cid for a new job.
Fleece the Butcher
If you chose to save Cid (
#1)in the previous quests, ask him for some more job. He'll send you over to Dargel, the butcher to pick up some protection money. Dargel resides in the house (
#7) behind Rodriguez. Once you mention the protection money, he'll get aggressive, which starts the next quest,
Dances with Butchers.
Fairly enough, even when you beat him, he'll be so pissed off and this quest will cancel. Return to Cid for more information. You'll receive 25 experience and Cid will open up a new quest,
Clean Out Dargel's Chest.
Dances With Butchers
In an attempt to defent himself, Dargel (
#7) attacks you once you try to extort some money for him. Simply beat him down and you'll receive 130 (50 + 80) experience for that. The previous quest will still cancel as he won't pay even after getting beaten.
Clean Out Dargel's Chest
This quest is received after the quest
Fleece the Butcher from Cid (
#1). Since Dargel won't pay you'll have to break into his upper quarters (
#7) and pick lock the chest.
There are two ways this can be done. Pick locking skills are pretty much a mandatory, but sneaking isn't exactly necessary. Run up to the chest on the upper floor and save the game, then reload. This glitches the game and the people that were chasing you up (Dargel and Mo) will return to their daily routines and you'll effectively be at the chest, ready to pick it. The other option which doesn't include bugging is to simply sneak in either during the day or night.
The right combination for the pick locking is right-right-left-left. There are several goodies inside, including a silver candlestick, a plate, a lump of ore and 200 gold coins. You'll also receive 150 experience points. Reporting back to Cid gives you additional 50 experience.
Get Rid of Cid
This quest is received once you tell Doyle (
#6) to turn himself up. Next step would be to talk to Rodriguez (
#2) and tell him what you know about Doyle and Cid. This earns you 75 experience. Having ratted out Cid, tell him (
#1) that the Order found out about Doyle, giving you 350 additional experience. This makes him disappear and earns you 350 experience. Now just report back to Rodriguez and he'll give you 150 gold and 50 experience for your troubles. Carlos (
#8) will also provide 50 experience and 150 gold coins for getting rid of Cid.
