How do I *fight* measurehead?
My options to get past him are to buy into his racist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and punch him in the face, right? I don't have any options to actually hit the guy.

Punching him square in the ♥♥♥♥ is how you fight him, it's a little odd, but yeah.

Is there a way to punch him? All the dialogue options are just asking him things.

Once you talk to him enough, it should trigger an opportunity to strike him.

Those are all my dialogue options. Which tree do I have to go down to hit him?

Maybe just click them and find out? :)

Just make him talk about random things, and at some point Half Light or Physical Instrument will advice you to just punch the jerk instead of listening to him.

WARNING: If you actually manage to hit him, proceed to KICK him afterwards, for good measure.

I feel I've exhausted all of the chats. Maybe my stats aren't high enough for that reaction to trigger.

If you don't have enough aggressive skills, maybe you can't. Not even our intrepid protagonist is insane enough to fight a 2.2m racist übermensch if he has no martial skillset himself, I guess :D
Have you already made it into the harbor? I dont think it lets you hit him if the path is already clear open. I wasnt able to hit him either because I took the alternative path

That could also be an explanation

That may be the case! But I'm guessing I can't get to the box behind him then?

Pretty sure it's just money in there. Nothing particularly noteworthy

Same issue. Don't have a punch option in the dialogue.
The first time I approached the Measurehead, I had this option, but I've loaded the game to do some other stuff beforehand (I went to the left, where the hero jumps to get back his police jacket and did some stuff in that location). When I came back to the Measurehead, I had no option to punch him, only to accept his rasist theory.
But I guess I didn't make it to the harbor. What do you mean by alternative path? Can you describe it in detail?
Still wondering if I can somehow get back this punch option...

Essentially once you get into the Harbour you don't need to hit him. The button he's guarding opens the door to the tiny office with Angus's radio and Leo's note, which you unknowingly bypassed by jumping from the roof to the harbour walkway to get the police jacket.

I don't need to punch him. But I really *want* to punch him. I regret taking the alternative route terribly.
