Forced to let prisoner go? Bug or intentional?

[Shrinkshooter]

I saw someone post about this in the bug report section but idk if it's a bug or not. This appears to be a spot where you'd be asked a choice after intervening between a guard who's aiming his weapon at a prisoner and the prisoner with his hands up.

Robo just automatically tells the cop to let him go, there is no choice there. The prisoner runs off, taunting them with "see ya," and then winds up shooting a guard 2 seconds later. Has anyone else run into this where it has NOT played out the exact same way?

Run into the same, no options and same outcome. I think it's a bug

Yeah had that exact thing happen. Was expecting a choice then RoboCop just goes "let him go" - like you sure that's a good idea Murphy? lol

You lose XP from it too. At the assessment it says something about "cunning prisoner" and shows 0 XP instead of 150.

I think this might also happen in a slightly later part of the game when you're talking to the Mayor. Robo just has a convo with him, yet it said you showed him support even if you didn't.

This is absurd ... I am trying to do a completion run and this damn game didn't even fix the mission bugs? Am I forced to upgrade psychology or focus to complete it? no one knows :<

I had a choice to make, one was marked as the "best option" troughh my social skill and the right choice was to stop the guard.

Do you play on console? And did you upgrade psychology?

I tried it with full psycho and still no dialogue option. Seems to be a bug

i think high "deduction" required

no i have deduction maxed out

[Cormoran]

There seems to be several of these later on in the game.
With no options in dialogue with the current mayor I was apparently now supporting him.

[lauruswolfe]

i had deduction and psychology maxed it gave no choice and i even reloaded a save thinking maybe it didn't trigger and had the same outcome.

I got also the bug with the prisoner and after that with supporting the mayor, having no dialogue option

That was annoying. Those political questions. "I don't want to be involved in politics" "You just supported Mayor whats-his-name". :D That whole politics side-quest in my opinion was completely pointless. As it doesn't change the game in any way. I would understand that if it would affect the whole game, let's say from mid-point forward. I just really didn't care which one wins or not.
