Do you interpret your experience to eliminate the possibility that the situation is the result of the first encounter?
So the problem is that while you know all the choices, the mini-browser is not annotated, so you pick the wrong choice and lose, not that the mini-browser doesn't have the right choice available, correct?
Which bad choice was selected in the minibrowser? The one that is selected in vanilla KoL (because it's the first one in the dropdown), or some other?
