[#2518][Bug][Timelines] Contradictory dialogue in "The Recruitment Mission" - (Spoilers)

Post by PersonyPerson »

If the player consistently chooses mostly the wrong dialogue choices in "The Recruitment Mission", but makes the dialogue last long enough until the end upon where Kaori Chen will tell the player to get lost, then:

The MD will say "Bubble Collapsed, Mission Failed", but then say straight afterwards "Mission Complete, Transition Initiated".

This results in the mission technically being completed at 1-2 stars, the player fails the objective but still succeeded somehow???

I kept retrying until I got 5 stars, so I don't know what the result would have been if I had pulled the plug straight after this contradictory dialogue.

This issue seems to be fixed in a future update. Following exactly your options, the last option is the good one, and the mission is completed regardless of which one is picked. Can you try again in the next update, to see if the issue still persists?

Will do.

I reset my Timelines, so if the update is soon, I'll even see what the result will be if I pull the plug on a 1 star run.

But if she tells me to get lost, then surely that should count as a mission fail rather than a mission complete? The game isn't seriously suggesting that we abducted her against her will and counts that as a success... is it?

Not fixed as of 7.00 HF 1.

Fortunately the update released close to my current progress on my 2nd run of Timelines.

I got a 2 star run in where Kaori called me a Sociopath and told me to get lost. Still the dual "Mission failed, Mission complete" issue. Went back to the Facility and I see that she was recruited and behaved as if she consented and wanted to be there... which she clearly doesn't on a 1-2 star run.

Odd... I followed your choices in the video but didn't get that.

The order in the video is:
Ignore -> Explain quickly -> Simplify -> Plain Truth -> Space/Time Explorers -> Be Dismissive -> Beg

For me the issue still persists in a variety of combinations.

Another 2 star run is:
Ignore -> Explain quickly -> Explain -> Plain Truth -> Space/Time Explorers -> Be Dismissive -> Beg

Same result.

1 star runs by the order of:
Be a Hero -> Ignore -> Explain quickly -> Ignore -> Space/Time Explorers -> Be Compassionate -> Beg

and:
Ignore -> Ignore -> Explain quickly -> Explain -> Space/Time Explorers -> Be Compassionate -> Beg

Same result.

I did find ONE path that did work as intended:

Be a Hero -> Ignore -> Explain quickly -> Ignore -> Agents of a Higher power -> Be Compassionate -> Beg

In that path, it reaches the end, where she tells me to get lost, MD only says "Bubble Collpased, Mission Failed" and I get a 0 star result.
