Okay, have at it folks!

Kerberos? Do they have issue red spectacles? ;)

Well, having completed it, I like the tension at the end and the time-critical components throughout. It didn't appear to add much to the investigation, shy that last bit Otherwise we'll see if I can get an outcome with less bodies sometime before episode 4.

ok, that last e-mail from goldfels was... unexpected. I didn't think, that he would be that involved with all of this.
I am still eager to find out, what this "initiate" is all about. but with that call from nina to juliet, i have a feeling that everything we see, this initiate could be seeing too since that incident with the "thought" page. Remeber symes saying that they hat 47 or something security alerts an counting?

[Pug]

Wow, WHAT IS THIS?! I JUST FINISHED THIS, AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! Omg, I just realized, that this is linked to my Episode 2 ending... And it wasn't fun.

[Pug]

Wait what?! I just got the achievement With Powder And Debt which meant... that Nina is dead. And, the debt was repaid for the catastrophe in Episode 2. Her son...

what ending did you have? did you find the bomb or...

[Hunter]

Is Nina dead in your universe or is it avoidable? It makes notion that Nina's death is avoidable by not providing informations about her window escape attemp. Or it is just my feeling?

[Bannish]

I'll definetly play this one more time in the next days. I want to know what decisions can lead to Nina not beeing shot... if possible

[van der Pieron]

Well, it was intense!
I somehow felt she might had tried to bomb mall, because of goldfels, but...
Heck, I feel bad with her death. Her son... Her husband... "What have I become, my sweetest friend?"...

Also, ability to check out her computer was nice, but picture with her and son doesn't help now...

[BtB]

My question is if you can capture her peacefully. If you don't report her as a threat, will she stand down or will she kill some officers and/or escape? Did anyone not stop the hack? It's possible that alters the way things play out, as she caught on she was being monitored, but seemed to think it was the hacker, not Orwell/me.

My theory is that this email is fabricated. Firstly because Goldman is clearly aware that anything on Internet can be spied upon - he calls on several occasions to move possibly incriminating discussions to more private places. And then he sends his own admission of guilt ? Secondly because it doesn't fit in my mental image of Goldman. He's clearly non-violent, and not dumb enough to believe that bombs in public places won't hurt anyone. Thirdly because the whole thing is just too convenient. A PTSD soldier who doesn't like the government and was involved into violent protests works three times at terrorist targets, and then gets tipped that the government is onto her by an incognito hacker, leading either a violent confrontation with the police and her probable death, or to her escaping justice. Either way, no-one to deny the allegations in a timely-posted email.

I don't know what that hacker's motives are, by the way, and that deeply annoys me. He pretends to be anti-government, but that could just have been to win Nina's trust. It might all have been to exert revenge on Goldman, or even an elaborate government ploy to fabricate reasons to disband Thought. Or maybe he's really anti-government, and did the bombings, but wanted to make sure someone else got suspected...
I'm filled with dread now, because I put the whole machine en-marche, and I'm afraid it is going, unstoppable, in the wrong direction...

[van der Pieron]

I guess she would escape, if we let her. There should be also an option of her killing the officers if the player won't help Symes and load sensitive data into Orwell. Otherwise, she's got to be killed.
I'd say people won't know that's us (Orwell) spying them (for now, we will see), because the programme isn't well-known to the public.

Noted, will be fixed in an update. Thanks!

@Jiriakel, I wouldn't say so. One of the datachunks is about Goldfels inviting Nina into colaboration over something (bombings?).
