You're not sold on the daggers anymore, Justin? I recall that we did go through several discussions about the best weapon choice for Schala when this project was first being developed. Some folks were partial to a more magic-oriented weapons (like rings or even some kind of mini-blasts in lieu of any weapon). I think someone provided information about how real-life royalty were trained to use daggers for self-defense or something too. Personally, I liked the idea of there being a nod to Kid when Schala joins your party but that's just me.
Let me know if you're going to end up pursuing this patch again; I'd gladly contribute on the story/dialog front again.
