Challenges

Challenges raise relationship scores as well as approval.

Starday - Introductions
The first major challenge is the introductions. Skill checks are not very high, but there are many of them. To do well, it is best to have fairly good skills in at least three of persuasion, likability, book smarts, quick wits, or interpersonal insight. High beauty, and either poise or courage, also help a lot. At the end of the introductions there is a check on Eloquence that has several levels of success.

There are two achievements associated with this challenge.

Windday - Horse ride
The horse ride is a scheduled event that can't be skipped. There are five achievements associated with this challenge, one for failure (only unlockable on challenge mode) and four for passing in different ways.

Starday - Boat race
