<Spoilers> The man in black

[I_am_a_great_magician]

I completely beat this game yesterday, but I have a question. Is it possible to save the man in black? What happens in the story if you do? I tried saving him, but every time I grabbed his hand, he let go shortly afterwards and then I accidentally pushed him off. It gave me both achievements for killing and saving him though. Anyways, all the videos I saw on Youtube of this had Horace letting the man in black die, so I am curious if it is even possible to save him at all.

yeah you can save him, theres vids on youtube showing it if you want to see the differences "right in the feels" is the name of one video.

It's very minor, one scene after saving showing an interaction with MiB and Horace and he's visible as an NPC is a scene in the crowd in the same area, thereafter he's gone.

Okay, I'll check the video out. Thank you!

Yeah same I didn't want to kill him but he would keep letting me go of his hand. Horace is not a killer damnit :(

Ah see I wanted to kill him.

I don't think Horace was a killer either but I think the blind rage of what were to him family being slaughtered in a previous scene would have made it hard to process without emotion, most would toss him into the fire in anger and excuse it as the correct thing to do as he's just shot and killed a kid along with others in cold blood and given the opportunity would have went through the lot of them. Not to mention he'd literally removed legs from torso, thumped you repeatedly across the head and left you for dead in the same scene.

I appreciated the choice though for me you weren't as much killing him in letting him fall as just not helping him so it wasn't super dark, I thought he stayed true to character. Even when you rescue him in the scene where he's in the background and its over, MiB kind of looks around and it's very much like "well this is awkward".

Or a very Horace moment could have been him going "This is the biggest junk I've seen" and disintegrate him
