Which UENIAC Personality to Choose for the Archive

The best priority set to resolve the personality crisis depends on which faction you plan to side with and ultimately give the Archive to in Outer Worlds 2. See the choice outcomes of each personality and which priority set to choose here!

UENIAC Personality Choice Outcomes

Priority Control Access Nook
Priority Choices Results
Blue Node
[Priority: Actuational] 		Priority set made by The Order of Ascendant.
Main priority is to help humanity towards ultimate ascendance.
The Order will be pleased if this is the priority set when the Archive is handed over.
Yellow Node [Priority: Profitalist] Priority set made by Auntie's Choice.
Main priority is to bankrupt rivals and force them to buy all manner of necessities from them.
Auntie's Choice will be pleased if this is the priority set when the Archive is handed over.
Red Node
[Priority: Sovereignist]		 Priority set made by the Protectorate.
Main priority is to hinder outsiders from disrupting the Protectorate's perfect system.
Both Auntie's Choice and The Order will not be happy if this is the priority set when the Archive is handed over.

During the main quest A Complication with the Computronic Cerebrum, you can choose one of three priority sets for UENIAC to resolve the personality crisis. Each option aligns with one of the major factions: the Order, Auntie’s Choice, or the Protectorate.

The Blue Node of the Order sets UENIAC to prioritize humanity’s ascendance through the Order’s philosophy. The Yellow Node of Auntie’s Choice aligns with its corporate, profit-driven ideology. The Red Node of the Protectorate aligns it with their vision of the ideal, controlled world system.

Choosing the Blue or Yellow Node will please the aligned faction if you hand them the Archive at the end of the quest, while the opposing faction will be displeased if it receives a differently configured personality. Setting the Red Protectorate priority will leave both factions unhappy.

However, regardless of personality set, it does not affect faction standing or the progression of subsequent quests.

Which UENIAC Personality Should You Choose for the Archive?

Choose Depending on Which Faction You Are Siding With

UENIAC Faction Allignments

Choose the Archive’s personality based on which faction will receive control of it. If giving it to Auntie’s Choice, select the Yellow Node; if to The Order, choose the Blue Node. This ensures the faction is satisfied with the configuration and can make the most of it.

Should You Side with Auntie’s Choice or the Order?

Choose the Faction Controlling the Archive If You Formed an Alliance

Negotiation Room

If you completed An Equitable Arrangement and formed an alliance between the two factions, set the personality to match the faction you designated to handle the Archive during the negotiations in that side quest.

Choosing the Red Node Has the Worst Outcome

The Red Node [Priority: Sovereignist] is the worst choice, as it aligns with the Protectorate. Neither Auntie’s Choice nor the Order will be pleased, and no faction benefits from this setting. This is especially the case since the Protectorate will never gain control of the Archive for the rest of the story.
