This is a complete guide to getting the Average Joe achievement (the quickest path in this book) in Chapter 11. Remember that you will not spend any points in the whole book, and since you will fail the last stat check, Rose will die.
If there is no choice in bold letters, it means there is no effect of what you choose.
