*Spoilers* Ch1 - loot the navigator station and save Evayne Winterscale at the same time.

[DreXav]

As most of you know, you get different outcomes depending on the order that you visit each point of interest in Ch1.
It is possible to get to loot the navigation station (requires it to be visited first otherwise you get nothing) and have Evayne Winterscale unharmed (as opposed to maimed by tortures or outright killed if you visit too late).
1) You have to visit the station first and do everything up to returning the repaired rod to Felek.
2) Leave the station and head for the prison world.
3) You will encounter Evayne unharmed outside barracks (comes handy in later chapter), accompany him and complete the world.
4) Head back and complete the navigator station to be presented with option to loot (choose the jewellery one for +2 profitability which opens more trade/loot options).

would this not also allow for doing the planet mission before finishing the navigator station?

but even if you rescue winterscale last, after a while it says that he's been healed anyway. does it really make a difference if he's tortured or not?

that's what I'm wondering. if it doesn't matter if he gets tortured or not. then the best order would be to do half of the navigator station. first planet. prison then finish navigator.

Curious - I made the following order to get the same result:

Pirate ship -> Prison -> Navigator

When I did that, I couldn't save any servants for Cassia (they were dead already, including Uve), nor could I loot the station, because it fell to a too bad state of disrepair. The enemies there were insane and mutated by the growing influence of the Warp channeled through Cassia. Also the doctor in the lab was already dead.

Mmh... I'm checking it again with a new character. The only variation I can think of is that I scanned the station, but never landed. 🤔

Wow! I love this. I hope that the following acts also have this reactivity.

Cassia has spoken about how much she needs Uve at her side so I see that as a major deviation.

This is the reactivity I want in a cRPG. Next playthrough you can do stuff differently and see the same events play out differently.

I am loving this!

Does "up to" mean you have to give him the rod or do you have to stop before you give him the rod?

Stop before is what I have done.

Not sure about that, since you are hard locked on the capital planet until you clear the AA or reach bunker. Feel free to try and let us know!

[Schutzengel]

I tested the above, and you need to stop Eurac V BEFORE you give Felek the Control Rod. When youre on your way back to Felek, just dont speak to him and instead leave the station and fly towards the Prison Planetoid.

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone know how exactly the game flags work here? Ie, could I start both the station and the prison stopping the soldiers from getting replaced, then jet over and do the planet without triggering the station servants and loot being lost or the Winterscale guy getting tortured?
