[spoilers] What choice did you make with [redacted]? And why?

[Mr.Hemiroids]

I walked away. I felt like there was enough killing. Especially after losing you know who. Don't want to spoil it for anyone.

The guy was scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of you. he felt more like a victim to me.

LOL sorry...

I walked away as well. He'd suffer more alive than he will dead. Hence why he asks you multiple times to just kill him. He was the shooter, but he was just following orders. It's not like they would have kept him alive if he didn't follow the orders anyway. It doesn't change anything to kill him nor would it letting him live. I guess the good playthrough thing to do would kill him. Or maybe I have that twisted. Senseless killing throughtout the game made me somewhat sad.

1, 2, 3, 5.

I let him live, but I locked the doors so he'd starve to death later, why waste a bullet?

You can kill the people. For example, when you are in the prison to get to the guy that is going to ID you after your little chat you can kill him. I did once then died and decided not to the second time as it is a huge rep drop.

I killed him.

Already killed a bunch of people so why not? Also, considering this will surely get a sequel, your choice may affect what happens in it ( or atleast just a small mention about your decision ). At least that's what I'm hoping happens lol. I didn't want him to be a potential problem :P

[BuiX]

i walked away.i dunno he suffered too much after the hit so that he became the victim for me.

btw make some spoiler alert eh? :D

[Lestrad]

I shot him. He had it comming. He killed two people (one directly, the other indirectly).

You do realize that you kill countless more people than him throughout the game. The option of killing or sparing Maurice poses a moral question that the game has to answer. He killed "two" people while Aiden killed hundreds. They might not have been as innocent as the people that Maurice killed on accident, but does that mean that their deaths are justifiable? Aiden is no better than Maurice, possibly worse. Aiden was on a revenge path while Maurice was Spoiler: trying to protect his wife under the threat of her death if he didn't complete his hit on Aiden. Lena's death couldn't be fixed, yet Aiden took the one way road to revenge.

Along with this, I think that people have the wrong opinion on letting Maurice live. They seem to think that it is because he will suffer more if you don't kill him, but Aiden specifically states that, even though Maurice is living in a personal hell, they are both getting second chances. It's an act of mercy, not malice, to let Maurice live. If someone thinks that he's going to suffer eternally for killing Lena, they're probably wrong. Wounds heal and leave scars, but scars don't tend to keep bleeding everywhere, getting on peoples clothing and ruining everyone's lives. They just serve as a reminder to never make that same mistake again. He will recover eventually and try to live life again.

Also, just in case people don't know, when he's repeating "1, 2, 3, 5" it is revealing that he is under the effects of the Fibonacci experiment performed by a ctOS employee, in which the Fibonacci sequence was introduced to the city subliminally to see if it would have an effect on people's behavior (which it did).

So, maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm morally oblivious, but I let Maurice live because I think that it is the "good" thing to do. I might be wrong, and I'm okay with that, I'm just providing evidence to justify my decision.

Wait, what? :)

After reading your essey :) I just realized how completly shallow the game plot was.
The protagonists after houndreds of killed people, without actually having too much choice, has one tinny moral choice at the end, a choice that I did give a ♥♥♥♥ for like 2 seconds and then I was done. The worst part of that was that the Maurice was the most believable character in this game, far more believable than protagonist.
