It probably should be mentioned that the Pendant now doesn’t provide any bonus Fitting In at all.
Far as I’m concerned, the newly opened area makes up for it by providing more options, nice text and further worldbuilding, but does not offer not more valuable opportunities than the already existing areas. Speaking strictly mechanically, basically the only benefit left is the possibility to enter at 4, not 5 Time Remaining. Consider that when you think about buying it.
Also, the Returned Loved Ones (Brother, at least) now offer 2 Fitting in + 8 CP Inspired… in their action, rather than 3 Fitting In. Which is probably just a little bit more useful, or at least not markedly worse. The true nerf is the option to use them becoming locked with less than 4 Time Remaining…
