Should You Kill Nimble?

You Should Spare Nimble

Sparing Nimble

It is better to spare Nimble as you will get everything you can get from him, including a decent payout of 2699 Coupons, if you let him live for a short while then kill him afterwards. However, his living or dying does not affect the story or the ending.

Alternatively, if you are building up Skif's character a certain kind of way, you can spare him, get the Coupons, and kill him as he turns his back towards you.
