If it helps,

I always save the little girl from the pirates in Razril.
I always pet the cat.
I always tell Glen that Snowe bought the Medicine.
I always kill the mermaid-hunting pirates.
I always ask Snowe to join each time I encounter him instead of just saying to exile him.
I am generally nice to people (even dickwads like Axel).

Someone would need to devote several playthroughs to researching the dialogue choice effects (unless that data can be ripped from the game files).

I did "forgive" more than 20 peoples, but still no option to recruit Helmut :|
(note : i did chose "not forgive" once, it was for fun only). But if it does effect, 20 are more enough to raise forgiveness rating right?
Still not sure if minigames has effect on main story

Can you maybe try and forgive more? If it works then, we know that it has an effect.

I don't know about you people, but I don't recall ANY case where Helmut was executed by default. I have played this game like 20 times, and either I had skipped Keen's confession game or went through it by either forgiving or not. Don't remember what my forgive/not forgive ratio was, but one thing is sure. I was always getting the choice whether I want to recruit Helmut or not.

If anyone does get the auto-execution, it would be great to record it. some scenes in these games are hard to achieve due to how much time has to be invested to meet certain conditions.
