Which way (Phantom Liberty)

[Verbinski]

Side with Reed or Songbird?, which one had the most Rewards after completing it?

[mistahbungle]

Role play it according to how your V is ? Save before you have to choose so you can play both.

Songbird side:
u got Reed's gun. (mid. not bad)
got unique implant later in game. gives u one more use any implants (sandevistan 2x time for example).
Reed side:
if u find in bunker both blackwall blueprints - u can craft it later but only one.
Ereb SMG with blackwall script OR unique cyberdeck with blackwall script.
And if u betrayed Songbird u see more lore about Songbird life in the past.
+ Max Tac fight + "Alien Isolation" hide and seek vibe)))

[Billie Lurk]

if u want ALL of this u can use CyberEngineTweaks console and using specific commands to "create" any item for free any time.

I enjoyed siding with Reed more. The main reasons were because you had the big robot hide and seek chase (in which I died several time btw), and because you get to kill Kurt Hansen yourself (he's tough too). It was a lot more fun.

I hated playing hide and seek. Only reason I put up with it was because I wanted the cyberdeck. Unfortunately I will have to suffer it again when I do my smg V.

install Cyber Engine Tweaks.
open console and here is the commands:
Game.AddToInventory("Items.Preset_Borg4a_HauntedGun",1)
for SMG.
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_LegendaryPlusPlus", 1)
for CyberDeck

Side with Reed. Song lies to everyone and doesn't give a $hit about innocent people and then stabs you in the back.

You can go back and side with Song for the different experience ingame, but when it counts, side with Reed.

[oldeschool]

alternate ending siding with Reed.

[valium]

The rewards should be secondary, by the time you finish the DLC, you are probably finished with that particular run as well. Go for whatever story beats you prefer is what I would suggest.

[WillD]

save at firestarter when you are having a drink and a discussion with someone in a bar. also there are mods where you can buy iconic weapons even if you didnt get those in the missions, i'd reccomend you to do that if you wanna try every weapon, i did it and it's fun

[Chaosolous]

Songbird is the only sound choice to side with.

[Glimmer]

Siding with Reed is siding with the government. The game teaches you "♥♥♥♥ the system". The "correct" choice is clear.

Even if Song is a liar, it's better than siding with the government. If you choose to side with Reed, Song ends up having her personality wiped and is used as a tool by the government for the rest of her living days.

Siding with Song does result in someone you might care about dying, but she gets to leave the government and her binds all behind, and live free. You open her cage and let her fly away.

(Of course, last time I said this, a few people got mad me and asked me "When does the game ever tell you to ♥♥♥♥ the system?!", showing some people lack even the most basic media comprehension...)

Song is not a good person. If you side with her, there is a point where you tell her that her plan will mean hundreds of innocent people will die and she doesn't care. She is a textbook psycho.

Also if you side with her, after you put her in the rocket, you have no idea what happens to her after that. She could've been absorbed by an AI on the moon.

[valium]

Nobody in the DLC is a good person.

Myers created a living weapon taping into the Blackwall, expecting it to be a ticking timebomb pointed at her enemies. Reed is a dog of NUSA, he would not hesitate to kill thousands of innocents, and would care even less about it.

Songbird is in a desperate situation, she is on the verge losing control, and if she does not get out, more than those hundred of innocents will be slaughtered.

I would say Songbird is the least ♥♥♥♥♥♥ person of this trio. Certainly the most sympathetic.

[oldeschool]

read the shards and decide if she can be saved -- We know she will say and do whatever to save herself (same as V's dialog choices) -- I'm at the decision making mission now, and haven't decided yet.
