It's interesting what that post might be implying about how characters will interact with the story. It seems to say that certain characters - like Crook in that post - will de facto be in your party by a certain point after certain decisions. So by then, Crook can start getting involved in Rance's story since you'll definitely have her. But other characters - like Ex, Haurein, and Rick (who you'd think would be a somewhat important character) - may never end up in the player's party, since you may just never pick them from the chest, so they won't necessarily be involved in the story (or perhaps they'll only get optional side scenes).

I guess the story could take the attitude that they're in Rance's party anyway, even if you don't have their card. But with so many characters I have to believe they won't all be involved in the main story. Perhaps I'm just surprised to Rick is part of that crew of optional people.

Or maybe I'm way off.
