Why are the majority of people so hard on Yvette? (Spoilers)
Only 38% didn't drop her into space. The only difference between her and Vaghn betraying you, is that she actually got the opportunity. She did sound genuinely sorry,
Yvette: They were dead the moment they set foot on Pandora. If I was going to lose them anyway, I might as well get something out of it.
Backstabbing seems to come with Hyperion terrirtory and conditioning.
If Vaghn and hers positions were reversed, would you do the same treatment?

I'm gonna agree with you. I was aboslutely STUNNED by the amount of people who chose to let her die. Like you said, Vaughn did the same thing, but Yvette clearly thought Rhys and Vaughn were dead anyway, so if Vasquez was gonna go on a wild goose chase and offered Yvette something for HIM going on said wild goose chase, I didn't kill her. I punched her with Fiona and let my anger out. From then on out, I said "I swear to god if Yvette dies." and I stuck with it.

Apperently, if you do save her, she steals the escape capsule from you.

Funny thing, if you don't punch her. She slips on the blood in the escape tunnel and falls on her face.

I don't blame her for that. She was closer and two people can't fit into a single escape pod. Rhys still gets out regardless.

Yeah because I saved her.

It's funny. I remember what she said to "Vasquez" about thinking we were already dead, and I was tempted to spare her. I didn't even knock her out when I had the chance last chapter. Then she asked Fiona and Sasha point-blank where Rhys was, which pretty much gave lie to her earlier statements.

Most tellingly, though, when face-to-face with Rhys in the cell, she came up with some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excuse about how she didn't REALLY turn on them because of reasons, and at that point it became clear what a self-serving snake she was. That got cemented with her whole "don't act like you've never screwed someone over for a promotion" bit as I walked away. That's how she really saw Rhys, not as a friend, just another stepping stone.

If I'd known the entire facility was about to come crashing down I probably would have made a different choice, but letting her out would have required turning my back to her for five seconds.

But wasn't screwing someone over for a promotion exactly what got Rhy's entire plot started? Not saying Vasquez didn't deserve it, but Rhys' and Vaghn adventures on Pandora gave them a lot of character development.

It is a totally different situation. Vaghn did it to save his own life, Yvette did it for profit. Vaghn was on murder planet and thought he was going to die and thought selling you out would get him off the planet so he can survive. Yvette was safe in her office with no chance of death and sold you out because she figured she could make a quick buck.

So while Vaghn betrays you, his reasons are understandable. He cares for you, he just cares for his life more. It is self preversation. Self preversation is a better reason than money.

I wouldn't call Hyperion safe. Death is a constant occupational hazard while working for Hyperion. Henderson can attest to that. ... also anyone who has worked for Jack.

Yvette was different. She wrote you off as dead the second you left according to her. She admits to sabotaging your chances so that she could profit. She exibits no relief or sadness when Rhys shows up in disguse with no Rhys corpse in tow.. shes just angry that your dead body isn't there. Angry that your dead body is supposedly blown up, and angry that said blown up body wasn't yours. Again, no relief that you might be alive or any worry or concern, just mad that she didn't get her payday.

When she gets wind that you might be alive, she holds your friends at gun point wanting to know where you are. The only time she shows any sorrow is when she is at your mercy.. exactly like Jack. And if you show that mercy she screws you out of an escape pod.

Screw Yvette, that traitor. I left her to rot in her jail cell on a firey death to the planet below.

I can understand people's reasoning for wanting to deep six her.

I'm just a guy who believes in second (third?) chances. Now if she screwed me over again, then I would of been less forgiving.

To me, she burned out her last chance when she spun her story about "oh, no, I cut a deal so that you would stay alive!" Turning on us when she actually thought we were dead anyway? That I could have forgiven. Lying to my face about how she was really on my side the whole time, she swears? Shut the hell up, you just demonstrated that you think I'm a complete moron on top of not caring whether I live or die.

I let her live . I guess killing her just did'nt seem to be the sort of thing the Rhys would do , but each to their own . Hyperion is a messed up place .
