* AmnesiaLoop: And a ''brutal'' one at that. [[Spoiler:You help her bring down Aculeus, only to discover he's ''not'' the man who killed Keturah's daughter. It turns out Tamar died so long ago that Keturah barely remembers anything about who did it - she's not even sure it was a man. The DownerEnding of her storyline ''seems'' to do an about-face in Endless Mode, where she is absolutely certain the killer is one of your bounty targets... but as soon as that fight ends, she says it's not him either and starts mumbling about someone else. Her character description takes on a whole new meaning after that.]]
