Who is better as crew Barrett or Sam.

[Scyris]

Due to a choice I have to make soon lose one of them and I am trying to decide who is more useful as crew. As I wanna keep the 2 girls around and all I got left to choose from is these 2. I kinda like Barrett's personalty better than Sam's as well he's funny at times. But Sam has a kid.

Let Cora be the deciding factor... do you enjoy her asking for books you can't give her or do you find her annoying?

I will say her reaction towards you for not saving her Dad is spot on and 'better' than the rest of Constellation.

With Sam on board your ship goes faster. Also Barrett has no family. Of the two of them, let Barrett go. Mostly because Sam makes your ship go faster.

Sacrifice one...kill the other.

That way your not taking sides.

Barrett is who I chose.
It feels more fitting with how the story unfolds and feels more dramatic/cinematic since the game began with Barrett.

When I had to make a decision whether to sacrifice Sam, Sarah or Barret. I opted for Barret. He had the least useful skill(s) at the time.

However, there's one reason you might not want to sacrifice Barret.
If you haven't already done his mission to retrieve a power with him, sacrificing him means you will NOT get the power from that temple on that playthrough. I learned that the hard way.
You can still pick up the power in NG+ though.

Barrett being EM does work thematically as well.

Can I get that mission before the time comes I need to decide?

I honestly do not know. I did not get it, but my guess is that if you hang with Barret more to build his affinity that yes, you can. I just never ran around with Barret except for one mission where I was forced to. My goto companion was Andreja.

Neither go Lin or Sarah.

Cora needs her dad.

Sona needs her Space Mom.

The only one who will miss Barret is me. And maybe Vasco.

So sorry my bro. There's only room for one starborn in this galaxy.

Losing Barrett's particle beam weapons were an oof.. but it was either him or Sarah and she was my waifu so bye.
