Episode 3 Discussions [Spoilers Inside!]

[Hellerphant]

Hello agents!

A thread to discuss your pathway through the finale, and to theorize where the game is heading for the next episode. Please keep in mind - spoilers will surely be here, so only read if you're ready to see what other agents have uncovered!

I got the suicide ending, and felt like it was a fitting conclusion - after all, it was the first "true" influencer story that I spread! However, just seen the implicating Ampleford ending and need to play it through again just to see what happens...

Same here. With the first game you get some kind of epilogue and see the outcomes of your actions.

For this one the game just ended and that was it. Rather disappointed.

That was...interesting. Can you do anything with the leak site?

Yes, you can upload the information on Operation Peace Through War to mess with Ampleford and get one of the endings.

Where do you get operation peace through war? [/quote]

Upload "Ampleford" to the agent database from the first chapter

The only thing I have against Epsiode 3 was that we really did not see any consequences for our actions beyond the ending action

I just finished my second playthrough of Episode 3 and I feel like I was taken advantage of by Orwell, Ampleford, and the Nation. I find it really interesting that this series focuses on how your actions cause specific outcomes, and that YOU have the power to make a difference, whether good or bad. But in reality, this sense of power is all an illusion. It really makes me stop to think if this was all true or not. Does the Nation really have malicious intent? Was Raban actually a victim? I guess it's left up to interpretation.

I also agree with what most people said on this discussion board about not being able to see an epilogue of sorts. I wish there would be some sense of closure after the game ends. As much as I hate that it's left open ended, another part of me questions whether that was intentional or not. Perhaps the developers want us to "shape our own truths" for each ending.

Overall, I'm really satisfied with how the game turned out. I hope there will be another installation of Orwell. If not, I look forward to whatever is made next! Until then, I'll remain vigilant.

A bit I really enjoyed: in episode 1, I managed to keep Oleg alive. And then in Episode 3, Raban gets an email from Oleg, which accuses him of conspiring with the Nation, that Radka died in the bombings, and added very unexpected drama. I'm curious if this information was useable at all beyond adding background to the story--I don't think I gained much from it mechanically, and was curious if it did have an influence.

Still trying to figure out how to get the connected achievement... does anyone know?

UPDATE: Figured it out! If anyone is wondering, you get it when Karen and Ilya run away together to Dewhurst, which happens if neither of them have been arrested at the start of episode 3 and you upload the story about Ilya wanting to go to Dewhurst with Karen.

Stuck in Episode 3 before the third Influencer post, I need to find something to deconstruct Raban's theory that Kassart and Blaine are conspiring but there's nothing to find anymore. I think I uploaded the wrong datachunk at one point. I uploaded that Ilya fled the army heroically instead of being dishonorably discharged. Also, I think there is one person I could find out something about but I'm missing his call sign to upload to the Agent database, for David Johns. Where could I find that? Not in any mails or conversations.

Enjoyed this game. But, gosh, I feel kind of stupid, missing details.
I got the suicide ending and was able to find out Ampleford's real name But then I couldn't find anything else on that subject. Clearly I missed something.

That ending is eye-opening so I suggest you replay Ep3 to get it (I did it and think it was worth it). It should be pretty straightforward after you find her real name and upload it. Then you just put her callsign into a certain website...and the rest is simple

Thats sick. I searched everywhere on how to get something on Ampleford, i got nothing.

In E01 she got Oleg killed, in E02 i tried everything to sabotage her, and in E03 i got nothing on her. How do I get her real name?

Follow some leads on a certain "fan" of Raban... and don't believe the first name you see.

[Mister Metroid [GER]]

Okay. I got her. Felt good to rub some of it in her face. I never thought that Symes could actually be a quite decent guy. Lets come for Ampleford in Season 3 and kick her butt. That arrogant wench.

[Jehane]

So... there are four endings, right? So far, I got Raban's suicide twice and the Peace through War ending. How do I get the other two? Also, I would have liked if the game just let me NOT upload any datachunk and had given me more freedom in choosing what I wanted to upload and what not. Instead, you have to upload some datachunks in order to progress the story which kinda contradicts the idea of the game that you're in charge of all the information. I tried to withhold as much information from Ampleford on my third playthrough as possible but as it turned out, some datachunks cannot be left alone. Some you always have to upload.
