Rooke or Jackson?

[newjeans PR manager]

So I'm at the point whre I have to choose Rooke or Jackson. I want to know which one is the more righteous choice, and which leads to being the more heroic choice through the story.

I'll be doing another playthrough of this later, where I go for all the evil choices, but which one? Thanks! :D

Choosing Rooke allows you to take down Selena's murderer, but results in Jackson being framed for the crime instead. Choosing Jackson clears his name, but allows the murderer to escape. Neither choice is the 'most righteous' option. It basically comes down to whether or not you think punishing a guilty person is more important than not punishing an innocent person for a crime he didn't commit. (Of course, it's worth noting that Jackson framed Collins for Selena's murder, which led directly to her death, as well as cheated on and stole money from Rooke, so you have plenty of motives to turn your back on him.)

Yeah, thanks for the info. I thought hard about it and went with Jackson. I didn't want to frame a man for something he didn't do.

I will be replaying the game, just for the dialogue. :D

Yeah, thinking hard about it I realized there was no "righteous" option, so I'll probably go with Rooke next.

If you wanted to be evil, you'd send Jackson to jail, shoot Hightower instead of knocking him out, and then push Gressler out the window to his death.

Yeah. Only problem is- Is Hightower the killer or is he a guy you meet on the story? I can't remember.

Hightower is the name of the killer. Gessler is the guy who comissioned the hit and constantly swears at you.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

If you want all the achievements you'll need to do both anyway. If you don't want to complete the story twice, backup your save files, go with Jackson, then exit the game, copy the backup back, then do the rooke mission and complete the game.

Really? because that reems one of the more rightous paths; Jackson may be innocent of murder, but he's guilty of theft of a large amount, money laundering, and tampering with the justice system, not counting adultery. If those crimes were brought to light, he would be in jail anyway.

By saving him, rooke does not recover her money, leaving her life destroyed and the killer gets away.

As I said, neither option is the correct path, and it's entirely up to the player to decide which one they prefer (or alternatively, whether they actually give a damn about Jackson)

That last part cracked me up.

What? Gessler called the hit? But how can that be when if you hack the laptop in the last level it tells you that Gessler didn't call the hit and that it might actually be a suicide, which means that the case isn't actually finished?

No, the laptop conversation refers to Katie Collins, who was the woman suspected of killing Selena Delgado and eventually committed suicide. Gessler ordered the hit on Selena, and Melanie Rooke has enough evidence to prove his guilt.

Choose Jackson if you need Perfect Gentleman ratings for the easier final stage (Gentleman + Ghost + Ninja). See my guide for details

Repeatedly mash the left mouse button after he attacks you.
