Choices that affects npc

[Alamus]

Hi. I made some choice I regret and now curious what happens if you decide not to pick up big gem in crude mines? I did so and now Hoag is dead . Also is there many choice forks that majorly effect gameplay? Game is new and it is hard to find any guide

Hey there, I've ran through the game three times now and am in the process of making a guide.

There are a couple points where you make decisions that slightly altar some things in the game and I'll list those that I know, but ultimately it won't effect the overall ending of the game or how it's played. Specifically with Hoags death, the only difference will be that if he lives, you could find him at the speakeasy and his sister (the bartender) will give you a half-heart. There's a handful of interactions like that that promote the player going through the game multiple times. Hope this helps

A major one is who you give the blue gem to or if you keep. This will determine which late game merchant you get or something secret.
You can choose to kill or spare Dreg.
You can choose whether to tattle on Brad.
Those are the main ones that I think can affect npcs.

Thanks for quick answer

You can still max out your health meter even without the half piece Hoag's sister gives you.

Is this taking into account that the max is 4? Not the three that pause menu shows.

If there is another half you can get, then I am incorrect.

Yeah I've got 2 end game saves one with 7 max health and one with 8 max health. The base is 4, so I believe the max is 4?
I'm going to try to remember them all. I might be misrembering.

I got one from giving Sewert the gem.
One from the Mayor's old room.
One from saving the kid with the sprained ankle.
One from not tattling on Brad.
One from repairing the broken robot.
One from saving Oli.
One from the Wraith quest.
One from Barbara if you escape the mines with Hoag.

I didn't got the Hoag one but got one from the other prison lady when I found her latter in the city. But I think I had to talk to her twice. Hoag didn't survive with me. Not sure what other piece I missed because I ended up with just three extra health and one spare half-heart.

EDIT: I know now, I didn't tattled on Brad. So one piece less from that.
