    I just tested this on PTS. He does not stick around after you finish talking with him. I wish he did. One could test if not finishing the conversation would allow him to stick around. I mean if you already have the achievement, no point in making him go away forever.

    Did he always leave before AwA btw? Or could you return back to him at any time?

    I actually would love it if Verandis did stick around, it wouldn't feel so sad if he was still there to visit from time to time.

    I wish we could see him return to Castle Ravenwatch from time to time (he promised to visit, after all), not to mention update the NPCs there and their acknowledgement of our Greymoor accomplishments - but I definitely don't expect that level of attention to detail and change in the world state.

    Yeah, that'd be very nice!

    Yes he did always disappear after you talked to him. That always made me sad. It was bittersweet. I'm just happy we got him back at all for our alts.

    There are a number of changes related to achievement completion in the PTS notes for Update 35.

    Blackwood:
    • You can now repeat the Adoring Admirer encounters on additional characters.
      • Note: Due to the manner in which this was rescripted, you have the option to redo it on the original character that completed the Most Admired achievement if you so desire.

    Deadlands:
    • Fixed an issue where the House of Whims services would give you the wrong greeting if you completed the “Treat Yourself” achievement on another character.

    Markarth:
    • A Friend in Need Achievement
      • You can once again have interactions with Melina Cassel on characters who already possess this achievement due to a reconstruction of this experience. As a result, you can have these interactions again even on the original character who completed the achievement.
      • Melina Cassel will no longer appear randomly in the Reach if you've completed her storyline on a given character, as she has no additional dialogue available for you at that point.

    Orsinium:
    Reworked the repair states of Orsinium to be driven off quest completions in Wrothgar instead of achievement progress. The key quests are For King and Glory, Blood Price, The Hand of Morkul, Blood and Faith, and Blood on a King's Hands. There's a theme with some of these names, eh?

    Thanks for the update. It's good to see that they were listening to some of our concerns. That just leaves the question as to why they wouldn't tell us that they were doing so.

    Hey look, another update from today's PTS patch notes for Update 36.

    Summerset:
    • A Book and Its Cover: Updated the interactions with Choixth and the Bailiff in Summerset to not track progress based on the state of this achievement.
      • As a result of this fix, you can redo these encounters on the original character that completed the achievement. Choixth in Murkmire will now react as though she knows you only on a character that has actually encountered her in Summerset after this fix.
