Slavers Bounty - alternate way of getting basement codes?

[Justin_760]

I tend to play with a utilitarian approach - my utility not the NPC's. Its difficult to justify passing loot for fake moral reasons pertaining to a digital character that doesnt exist.

But even so, handing hailie over to slavers to be sold into human trafficking is difficult.

Does anyone know of alternate ways to get the code to Ranger HQ's basement? Has anyone tried just killing La Perla and checking her body? I want the damn loot, but also don't like the idea (for RP purposes) of the Rangers engaging in slavery.

No alternate way, either You give her up to the slavers and get the loot or You dont get the loot.

There is no other way, the developers wanted you to make a sacrifice here - either sacrifice the slaves to get the loot, or sacrifice the loot to do the right thing. How much are you willing to give up for rp? Though I ultimately chose to free the slaves, I did check on that loot and it is pretty nice - I was seriously tempted to sell those slaves out - but ultimately I reloaded and chose not to because the rp meant something to me.

Be a person with near cartoonishly despicable morals (to get things that increase your enjoyment of the game).

or

Be constantly disgusted at how amateurishly hamfisted the faux RP-choices are (and struggle to enjoy the game).

That's your real choices for 98% of the game.

the game is not deep. the series has always had a weird fixation on cannibalism. the load times suck..the story of 2 is probably end to end better than 3.

all that being said i still enjoy the series more than most in spite of those flaws.

They did ALL they could to avoid giving you any other choice (you can't even try to doublecross them or anything).
I like games that reward players for their problem solving/finding solution to issues etc instead of simple "loot vs reputation/moral choice" decisions, they feel empty/forced
Heck I have a whole prison, what about taking la perla to a torture room for the codes, or better how did she get the codes? can't we use high nerde stuff to crack it open ??
Or better, do an ATOM RPG style luck check "[LUCK 8] you smash random numbers on the keylock, surprisingly the door opens !!!!!"

Then don't get the codes. What you're gonna find in the base it's just loot anyway, it doesn't have any implication in the story.

Besides, when you enter Liberty's place, you find hailie there with the rest of the slaves, she said she would call the guards just for revenge but I persuaded her that after this is over she would be free and she shut up.

So, you can get the codes and get her free(eventually) anyway. Everyone's happy.

I love this.

I knew it, and I killed the slavers anyway. I like that the game doesn't do what other RPGs do and give you a better reward later for "doing the right thing". You legit have to make a sacrifice and give up lots of loot just to be morally upstanding. And you get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for doing so. It's great.

Well you do get refugee rep for not turning her in, which is pretty hard to come by especially if you kiss up to the marshals. It's a classic case of loot vs rep.

This was actually a good implementation of a moral choice. It is straight up ditch your morales for some loot and hold up your morales and get nothing. I originally thought the Head Hunter Quest should have given you some other choices, but actually the quest is perfect. The ending when you let the prisoners out is awesome.

I wish there was a way to stay on good terms with the Gippers, though. I really liked them.

what do you mean

Guys, don't worry about the loot. It's not worth it.
