Should You Persuade Or Kill Gustavo
Gustavo will meet you on the Berry Mule once you board the ship,holding the pilot, Erick, hostage.There are three ways to handle this situation: you canpersuade Gustavo to leave the shipto you,have them release Erick, and you two leave without the ship, or you cankill Gustavo and his men and claim the ship.you may alsoattack Gustavo immediately upon entering,giving you the upper hand in the fight if that’s how you wish to handle it.
Passing thePersuasionconversation willhave Gustavo leave and have you complete the quest without bloodshed.Just saving Erick and giving the ship to Erick will make Jane unhappy with the results, but ultimately okay that Erick is alive,still completing the quest.The final option of killing Gustavo and his men will haveErick and Jane react poorly but still reward you for completing the job,and hasno later ramifications beyond getting moreXP for the kills.
