How evil does Ryujin Industries questline get as I complete faction quests?

[Kleerex]

I'm now on a quest where I have to sabotage HopeTech, and unlike the previous quest where I had to ruin some other company's chance to attract investors, this time people might actually get hurt. I do not want that, especially because I'm also progressing the quest involving theft of one of their ships.

Please tell me that in the end I'm going to have a chance to ruin Ryujin Industries for their scummy business practices.

Uhmm.. nope, not really, or not at all from what I saw.

There are like 3 parts you can decide later, like if they should buy another company to keep the workers, what to do with the implant they used and about the new/old CEO. Nothing has any real meaning after it is done (unless you count the crew reaction), besides some SSNN news and a small extra at the ending, so it all depends on the player which way to go.

I see. Thank you for the reply!

For now I will continue with other factions and sidequests. I have done a whole lot of them but I barely have progressed the main quest. It can wait, as per Bethesda tradition.

You can 'ruin' them by making them a better company. You get quite a bit of leeway in how evil you want to go on their quests.

As for the HopeTech thing. I felt conflicted too about that quest...until I did another group's questline. I'll avoid spoilers though.

I wasn't sure about this questline either and abandoned it because I didn't want to plant the false evidence in a gun store on Akila. I found BIG RIYUGIN against a small gun store reprehensible.

Riujin isn't any more cringe than any big-corp today.
Corp espionage happens all the time. (less guns - but payoffs, blackmail, propaganda, schmoozing)

I love it - because I've been in less than savory industries and right from juniors to junior management, we've all had to justify-to-ourselves("cope") what we were doing to society.

I've always done what I feel is right and at the time , my decision was justified. I get your sense of morality is split in two but sometimes you got to beat evil with evil despite others that might get caught in the crossfire.

I don't have a better option yet, but the fire-with-fire talk is just cope the people tell themselves on the road to heck.
