Meet Willard and Attend the Mission Briefing on Praetor
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  The first step of the quest requires you to speak with Vice President Willard, where you'll need to convince him to join in on Inez's plan of reforming the Grafting Program. During the conversation, an additional dialogue can be unlocked by pickpocketing Willard for his key and reading the private messages on his terminal with the use of Hacking 9. This is completely optional and the quest can progress without it. |
| 2 |  After speaking with Willard, he instructs you to attend a mission briefing in Praetor. To find the mission briefing location, follow the road outside of Praetor's launch pad then head south at the third road fork. Alternatively, you can fast travel to Auntie's Border Camp if you have it unlocked. |
| 3 |  Once you arrive, talk to Orlin Crawford and Commander Purcell. Here, you'll be instructed to raid the blockade on Praetor to unseal the Eastern Gate and save the captives if you can. While both of them suggest that you go through Auntie's Choice tunnel or through the Automech Production Facility, you can fast travel to the Central Lightning Tower (if unlocked) to get to the Blockade faster. |
Raid the Blockade on Praetor
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Free Captives | Ignore Captives |
During the raid on Praetor's Blockade, we highly recommend freeing the captives. This is done quickly and ensures that Inez will have a good reputation after Orlin Crawford's interview.
Free Captives
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Once you arrive at the blockade, we recommend saving the captives first stealthily. Pick up the Cell Blockade Key placed on the box to the left and enter the captives' room on the left most door. |
| 2 | After saving the captives, go up the stairs on the rightside of the base and head to the door behind you to obtain the Automechanical Terminal Key. |
| 3 | Continue sneaking until you reach the door on the upper floor's opposite end. From here, you can hack the Bunker Mech by using the Automechanical Terminal Key on the Security Terminal. This causes it to target all life forms inside the facility. Use this as an advantage to raid the blockade! |
| 3 |  After dealing with all the enemies, you can now unseal the Eastern Gate by switching its controls on the upper floor. Orlin Crawford will be waiting outside to ask for an interview. |
Ignore Captives
If you choose to ignore the captives, Inez might fail the interview. This can lead to Vice President Willard not agreeing to reform the Grafting Program.
Give Orlin Crawford an Interview
During the interview, we recommend choosing these dialogue options:
- "She's too modest. She's a born marketeer: she recruited us for this mission all by herself!"
- "And if they allow you to fight again, you can prevent anyone else from getting captured!"
- "She's right. Grafts could be used for anything, not just the battlefield."
- "Inez, might be a good time for a product tagline."
The interview dialogue choices are very important as these will determine the success of the negotiation with Vice President Willard. Additionally, each dialogue results in the prompt "This will be remembered". Each choice can improve or damage your relationship with Inez!
Return to Vice President Willard
When you return to Vice President Willard, make sure to choose the dialogue "She's the greatest soldier I've had the honor of working with. You'd be lucky to have her". This closes the deal on the negotiation with Willard agreeing to reform the Grafting Program.
Half Truths in Advertising Choices
Save or Ignore the Captives
Saving the captives is highly recommended as it can be easily done in a short amount of time. This elevates Inez's interview and can help secure the deal with Vice President Willard. Choosing to ignore them can humiliate Inez during the interview and drop the chances of securing the deal with Willard.
