Personal Story wrong path?

Hey,

I was recently playing through the personal story again with a friend, and for some reason the game chose us the wrong path. In the Personal Story Light in the Darkness, where you choose your worst fear, we chose the “let an innocent die” storyline, similarly at the end of the Forging the Pact, Trahearne mentioned the ship that needs destroyed (a the main goal of the “let an innocent die” story), but the next story it sent us to was the start of the Apatia storyline…

Usually I wouldn’t worry about it, but thus far it’s my friend’s third time through the story (the first two running the Apatia storyline) and he wanted to try something new, but even after doing everything right we get shoved onto the wrong path. So… is there anything that can be done?

Is is and isn’t a bug. The issue is, after Forging the Pact, the next story step is determined by the fear of the main player. (The person who started that story instance.) If you had a different fear, but choose to accept progress for Forging the Pact, it will make your next quest step the same as the other player’s to keep you both together.

If he chose a different fear in the dialogue, it would have set that fear. Choosing to accept story progress does NOT change your actual chosen fear,but it will change the storyline you’re put on. My best guess is that he never actually chose a fear, so it will default to the Apatia storyline.
