Regardless of which option the player chose, they were rewarded with an amount of bonus experience for voting, which players could add to a skill of their choosing (e.g. "The Duke grants you an XP bonus. This will be used up as you earn XP in this skill."). Players would earn double experience as they earned experience in the skill, until the XP bonus from Duke Horacio decreased to zero. The remaining bonus experience could have been checked by hovering over the chosen skill in the skills menu.
