We had the in high spirits degree of affinity with Alejandra , and she survived . But Sam Coe , who we had some forced campaign affection with , was the one who died . And we ’ll be honorable , drop off Sam sucked . His daughter is inconsolable and she hates you for let her dad die .

Others have told me that they fall back Barret , and others have describe that they lose Andreja . That means thatSam , Barret , and Andreja can each be for good lost .

Barretprovides the following abilities :

Sam Coeprovides the following abilities :

Andrejaprovides the next abilities :

Whether you oppose The Lodge or go to the middle , the outcomes are equal to each other . But we like Barret better , so good-for-naught , Sarah . Beyond that , going to The Eye is the only way to get some major affection dot . Since we ’re romance Andreja ( or trying to , anyway ) , this was more beneficial for us .

at long last , it ’s up to you .

Should You Defend the Lodge or Go to the Eye, Summarized

If you go to the Eye , Sarah Morgan will die . If you defend The Lodge , your secondly - closest fellow traveler will fail instead . Either way , you will drop off a associate . Defending The Eye will give you a better chance of saving your favorite familiar and receiving some tenderness from them , but if your favorite companion is Sarah Morgan , you ’ll desire to defend The Lodge instead .

Whether you decide to defend The Lodge or go to The Eye , you ’re going to want to fill the void . Replacing Sarah or Barret is a big ask . But there arequite a few companions scattered across the galaxy .
