kill the Sow?

[Spogg]

i beat the game in beta and killed the sow but... the only thing it did was piss of the villagers and i had to deal with the towns... pet does killing it have any other effects in the full game, is it worth killing and does anything interesting happen if i let it live.
(i know how to kill it, i have the item)

if something happens if i don't kill it and that outcome is better than killing it, don't spoil specifics just say its better and i should let it live.

just to be clear im talking about item and loot reasons not moral. but i still wanna hear people moral reasons too.

If you kill the sow, you get the part 2 of the madman ... rambling, I think? Both parts gives a you code for a chest where you find part 1 (in the village)... and the chest is... nice. 3 molotov, a 1 use shotgun... and some other good stuff :)

And you have access to the pig cellar where you have to kill two villagers + a red chomper. So odd meat + the villagers' stuff.

This. Wolf gives you a little present aswell if you do it after speaking with him in Silent Forest.

[Spogg]

so i should just kill him for items plus i think its a moral highground since you put it our of its missery and the villagers are arsewholes.

[Spogg]

so is there any point in not killing him what so ever?

I would like to know the same? I have done one playthrough in the last beta, but I trying to do a "good" run. Is there any benefits to NOT killing the big pig? Thanks.

[Spogg]

killing the pig would be a good run, its in pain and the villagers are canibals

[AnotherGuy]

personally i just repaired the cable... everyone seems displeased lol but the chicken lady assumes the person who cut it went back andd fixed it out of guilt

[lentinant]

That is actually good deed. You motivate villagers to move out and start trying do something. And sow was not giving much meat anyway.

Although it's a nice thought to think the villagers would get some initiative to find an escape, I feel it's more likely that the whole village becomes a bloodbath over food and lots of people starve.

The village in the swamp seems to tell this tale already, so killing the sow might not be the morally right decision.

Darkwood didn't have morale vs loot decisions. But mercy or burn them all or RUN OUT OF THIS HELL!

[zurium]

i think theres no"good ending" or even actions in this game, everything is kinda grey in that regard (outcome). but you do get more loot, since killing it opens up a few places, and a reward that the wolfmaneitor gives, cant say its much though.

[FireNative]

Here's a clue to if killing the pig is a "good" morale decision or a "bad" morale decision, Wolfman WANTS you to kill it so, what do you think? Does Wolfman seem to be a "good guy"? Does Wolfman seem to be motivated to make you do "good" things? Ok I think I have my answer.

[Spogg]

wolfman has a reason to hate the village besides the poor thing is clearly in pain and the villagers are both super mean and kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anyway...

but i killed the sow ages ago...
but still heaing people moral opinions is good.

[FireNative]

I know me too. I am doing research for my second run. Thanks for the info.

So I couldn’t really figure out if sparing the sow will actually add any additional content in Chapter 2 or if you will really feel any consequences.

We know that if we kill the sow then the villagers appear in the Quarry so i guess this place will be uninhabited if the sow lives, right?

Another thing that would of course change is the Mushroom Granny and her quest to get rid of the villagers in the Quarry. So how else would you get the key from her to free the child?

The last question is what kind of fate will befall the villagers in the epilogue if you didn’t kill the sow and therefore they didn’t move to the swamp.
