Oleg's Ending? [SPOILERS]

[Orion Pax]

Anyone know what decisions drive the ending outcome for Oleg's?

I just got a not great ending for Oleg's for the first time. Like it fell into disarray or something and they left. Main thing I did different this time was fully ally with Brevoy, completing all the partnership projects, etc.

Not sure why things went bad this time. ???

Depends on upgraded region.
And that ending feels like you did not upgrade Outskirts region.

Thanks. I did upgrade it actually: the "Union with Restov" upgrade. Seemed like we made things super good there.

I was able to find on another write-up that it may in fact have been how you handle the tax situation in the first place. If you give Oleg's to Restov I guess that leads to this negative ending, like they got sucked into all the warring Restov had I guess?

And that tracks with my previous playthroughs where I handled it differently and got a different result. Will see this time.

The way you resolve tax situation is directly responsible to what Outskirt region upgrade you can do in first place.
Union with Restov is not a upgrade. But it is a project.

Right, thanks. That I had learned. I hadn't realized it also affected the ending slide.

Did some more digging and found a seemingly good summation of choices & outcomes:


"It [how you handle Oleg's taxes/road] affects the end game slider. Spoiler basically;

No one betrays you or anything, but it ends up straining your relationship with Aldori in the future. Trading post ends up being a military outpost with a heavy border control if you escelate that issue.

Similarly leaving the post entirely to the Aldori and doing nothing about it turns it into a desolate place.

Best outcome for the outpost is pushing diplomatic channels with Aldori and solve the situation on outpost. Which they demand you to build a road in return.

Demand part is a bit annoying of course from ruler's perspective, but road is something would help your kingdom's economy anyway...

In short, if you tell aldori "♥♥♥♥ off, oleg is mine, so his outpost", you'll have border issues with them at end game sliders and as a response, outpost will be turned into a military base.

If you say "meh do whatever you want i dont care", trading post will be that... some isolated trading post.

And if you diplomatically solve the issue, trading post will become a huge town with alots of trade."
