Plastic Man (SPOILERS)

[yoomazir]

So in the mission where you capture the plastic man, you are given 3 ways to do it, I picked the parking one because of the no civilians casualties, but I was wondering how the 2 other choices happens and what does the plastic man says about the procedure.

[Loquacious Lasagna]

If you go to his lover's place she turns out to be a hulking troll in lingerie who then tries to beat you to a pulp. There's very little guard response, and he later comments on your killing of his mistress.

[Foks]

I did the kidnapping in the mistress' place. Theres an apartment you can break into for some extra loot, the mistress herself prances around half-naked in the apartment and will try and beat you up if and when the combat starts. She's a troll by the way.

Plastic will try to escape&alerts Knights Errant over and you'll have to fight in the corridor with a full KE squad, 5 guys I think.

Oh and he'll make an emotionless remark about the mistress afterwards, because she'll end up getting killed in the process.

I did the Apartment one. I went into the apartment, walked behind plastic faced man, used the taser and hit him with attacks that knocked out his AP. He spent the whole fight swaying back and forth stunned. Took out his Troll Mistress (who, truth be told would love to see a pinup of) and the only real threat was his bodyguard. I actually found it pretty easy.

Maybe its possible to spare her? Subdue ability of Duncan comes to mind. Will try on my second run. As for the Masked guy, just bring a stun gun. Get behind him, use the item you get from the Dreamland hacker and keep him without ap.
He will do just like this guy elaborated.

Dont use any other ability -like Duncan´s- to subdue him, he will bug out.

Currently if you subdue the game counts the person as killed. For example if you subdue the Plastic-Faced Man he is killed.

Well thanks, that will save me some time.Probably.

^ I subdued the troll from the apartment and Plastic Fantastic still commented on how I didn't mind killing innocents and all that noise.

To be fair, this is justified as the game tells you that, if his cyberware detects that he's been captured, it'll immediately flash his memory.

Slapping a pair of cuffs on him certainly qualifies as "captured". And after his memory's gone, you're pretty much screwed.

If you do this, Duncan will comment on how she wasn't killed and will have a headache after taking a nap.

[Kyopo Von Elsass]

the cinema option set place in a crowded BTL/sim complex, tons of innocent bystanders who surprisingly will stay in position when the gunfight start (guess they all crouch down and pray?) very low oppositions from bodyguards reinforcement, tons of collateral damage to do with grenades
plastic man comments on your high concern of self preservation.

I whacked him with my sword and he stood there stunned and the mission completed okay.

You can do all the AP damage you like, just don't zip-tie him.

Playing on hard here. If you have the magnet arm (honestly, it's the best cyber in the game), then the cinema is probably the best route. Plastic dude is standing in a tiny room with a single guard. Duncan chucked in a flash-bang, zip-tied that guard's ass, and then I neural stunned the ♥♥♥♥ out of him.

A counter popped up for when the cops were going to arrive, and since there was only one doorway to the outside, I just crowded all my runners there and set overwatch. 4-5 cops show up and the fight is a joke. Gobbet dropped acid, my main chucked a phosphorus into the narrow doorway, Duncan zipped one of 'em, and the rest got lit up.

They threw a few grenades upon entry, but thanks to the wonders of magnet boy, they ate those themselves.

Not a single civilian suffered damage.
