[HOT TOPIC] Siding With the Hunter

[Geldric™]

I mean sure, he did kill your significant other in the very first universe but come'on he was simply being the scorpion 🦂 that he is...

I think I kinda understand his motivation. He's a Starfield player that is tired of NG+. He's just trying to shake things up a bit. Eventually we will all be like him.

I sided with him once. Maybe I will again just for kicks.

Thanks @Gonzo, gave me a smile.

@Krash - I went thru like a ton of Unity runs, all siding with the Hunter but always "persuaded" the Emissary to hand over their artifact. That was until... I found out they have that sweet Va'ruun rifle (Eternity's Gate) that basically just "wins" the game

Protip: Don't use any plasma weapon w/Doogie Howser's mom... she takes it quite personally and will attack you. Then you have to drop her and then revive w/Med Pack

The Hunter just does what any of us do on our 100th play though. Kill everything that moves, grab the McGuffin, and move on.

I love the Va'ruun rifles. This makes me want to do the main quest early, so that I can do the rest of the game with Eternity's Gate.

You can just kill both of them, of course.

I sided with Hunty the fist time and never had a significant other. None of the companions made me care enough. I didn't finish my second playthrough but if I do, I will choose some other end.

When I saw Sarah lying there in the poll of her blood, I was sad, even heartbroken. But when I borded his ship and had the talk with him and the Emissary, I realized that from his point of view, "my" Sarah was just another one of millions of Sarahs, sooo, yeah I sided with him, because nothing really matters in the multiverse.

I keep trying to get that outcome, but it's always either Barret or Sam.

I think it chooses the one with the 2nd most affinity to kill. I would use the console to manipulate that if I was so motivated XD

He never killed my companion I romanced. Andreja. There is a easy way to avoid that. Even if I had romanced Sarah.

Not really. Depends on how you respond to the option to stay at the Lodge or go to the Eye ( just before the Hunter attacks the Lodge ) and who are your companions, crew members on your ship.

If you choose to go to the Eye and ignore the attempt there for them to stop you, you can save your romance interest. I picked going to the Eye. In that run, Barret died, whom I had never had a high affinity with and he was not on my ship or even assigned to a Outpost.

Sarah was second on my Affinity list.

I always side with the Hunter. 100%. Never sided with the Emissary even once, and, btw, I did the Buried Temple 16 times by now with 2 characters so, x16 the detail.

The Hunter kills a member of Constellation. That’s +10 right there.
The Emissary IS Constellation. Should I say more?

I like how the Hunter calls the Emissary out for being a control freak and a hypocrite with the holier-than-thou attitude.
Bonus: Eternity Gate, my favorite weapon.

Um, I was sure it was the only outcome if you stay in the Lodge to protect the artefacts. And the other one dies if you go up to the eye to save Sarah? I only finished the main story once so far.

Yeah, you don't actually lose anything by going to the Eye.

I suppose there's a metagaming reason not to, though, if you're looking for a RP reason to do NG+.

Nope, it's different depending on your actions during the main quest.
