walkthrough (SPOILERs for Act 1 and early Act 2)
Hello, I sorta noticed you missed out on some stuff in chapter 1 for the wlakthrough. Hope its ok if I posted them here.
1. Fort Locke - if you rescue Tann first, he will put a bounty on the bandit chief which you can collect later, and it also open up the option to convince the bandit chief and his men to give up and become soldiers at Fort Locke. Not sure, but after you get Vallis hanged, he can be buried in a marked grave, but I havent found it yet.
2. Leldon's Hideout - if you trigger all his traps, you can wake Leldon up who will fight you when you reach the vault (but it means he wont show up at the park).
3. Waterdeep Emissary - you can get the imposter to join your party if you insit that you go with him (he's a more powerful than Qara is at this point). After that, proceed directly to Old Owl Well to trigger the Casavir event and after that go immediately to the Eyegouger Lair. If you keep him in your party up to the end when you find Isaani, they'll start accusing each other of being imposters and you'll learn that his real name is Olav. Just a note, be sure to keep Olav AWAY from any locked treasure chests cause he'll destroy them which should be a pretty big hint that he's a bad guy (or you can just tweak his AI and turn off the open locked chest feature).
4. Deekin - if you bring Grobnar to speak with Deekin, they do have a pretty funny conversation, bring Elanee along is pretty funny too.
Influence:
Ember:
Bishop +2: If you succeed in a SPOT check and noticed that BOTH the people and livestock are missing.
Bishop +1: If you noticed that ONLY the people are missing.
Bishop +1: Intelligence check after killing the Giths, tell bishop that since the remaining force is smaller, they'll be harder to track. Having Elanee along is an extra bonus where she and Bishop starts arguing.
Bishop -1, Casavir +1: Tell Bishop that we were the reason that the Giths were in the Village in the first place.
Bishop +1, Casavir -1: Insult Alaine and agree that she should run and hide like the rest of her scared kinsfolk.
Casavir +1: Promise Alaine that you'll find Shandra.
Gith Base:
Neeshka +1: If Elanee is not in your party, tell Neeshka that you're helping Shandra because its the right thing to do and that she is nothing more than a farm girl to you.
Casavir +2: If Neeshka is not in your party and you heed his warning about Mephasm.
Khelgar -1, -1: When you reach Zarxis, you get a -1 if you say that you want to trick him, and if you fail the speechcraft check, you'll get an additional -1.
Shandra +1, Bishop -1: Tell Zeearie that you'll give her the shards if she agrees to let Shandra and your friends go.
The only one I didn't try at Gith base is Qara, so I dont know if she has any influence oppurtunities there (since at this point my influence with her was already 18).
ACT II
Blacklake
Qara +1: Talk to Kennel Keeper Jenks (the man guarding the imps), say that his job looks imporatant and side with Qara in insulting him.
Elanee +1: If Qara is not in your party, talk to Jenks say that his job looks imporatant, tell him that animals respond better to kindness and someone they respect.
Elanee -1, -1: same as Neeshka when you buy the portrait of Shandra.
Casavir +1: When receiving the Larim quest from Sir Nevalle, respond “I will attend to it at once.”
Sand +1: During the battle of the bards, nearing the end tell Sand to heckle Cain.

Port Llast
Khelgar +1: When talking to Calindra, tell her that she sounds like one of those that only talks about mining.
I couldn't find any Influence oppurtunities in Aldalon's House. Also, some of the influenece oppurtunities you listed for Bishop don't appear when I play through the game:
*When talking to Bishop about Marcus, tell Bishop that you hated your village, too (+3), or that you actually liked your village (-1).
*When accepting Nya’s reward, wonder how much it’s worth (+2), ask Bishop what he cares (+1), or say that you’ll respect it (-2).
