I was not sure who to help, but ultimately helped Reed, since I figured if the town closed, then everyone would be screwed. Seemed to work out alright after all, got more medicine and more lenient on the workers since there was more of them. And Adelaide admitting that she was killing people to fertilise her crops when I went to get the power core thingy kinda made me less sympathetic to her

Spoiler

She didn't admit to killing people iirc, she was stealing bodies from the graveyard. That's why Eugene's (suicide case) body went missing before he could be buried.

Okay this is what I though, I retract my regrets

Just reached Byzantium, about 16 hours in. Taking my time to do side quests and stuff before progressing through the main quest. Monarch was pretty tough on Supernova.

WAIT SHE WAS KILLING PEOPLE?

Fuck...I gave her the town and let Reed run free for a week. I Knew she was using corpses taken from graves, how do you find that out? I regret my decision...

Spoiler

It's just the way I interpreted it. I hardly think stealing a few corpses is enough to fertilise a whole botanical garden, and she was rather ambiguous about the corpses, just saying worker, marauder doesn't matter. Plus it's hardly sustainable to run a deserter town on corpses.

Just completed the game, finally.

Spoiler

Final mission is great. It's a bit like that of New Vegas where depending on your actions earlier on certain groups will join in the battle. I was able to trick a Board official into giving me their ID so I could simply walk through all the fighting with no trouble.

If you want to complete the mission diplomatically you REALLY need to put a lot of points in not just speech skills but stuff like science and hacking as well. If not, the game forces you to fight this robot which is an absolute bitch on Supernova. I ended up just loading a previous save and respecking my character to avoid it.

Also like New Vegas, once you complete the game you're treated to a slideshow with a narration telling you what happened to all the various characters and groups after the events of the game, which is nice.

Overall, solid game.
