Should You Spare or Kill Shroud in Dispatch Episode 8?

by

What makes choice-based games so engaging is that your decisions genuinely change the story and how characters interact. These choices can even lead to unique endings for each player. In the final episode of Dispatch, players controlling Robert will face a critical decision: Spare or Kill. Here’s a breakdown of what happens depending on which choice you make in Dispatch.

Should You Choose Spare or Kill in Dispatch Episode 8?

Once you give Shroud the Astral Pulse, Invisigal will step in and take a bullet meant for Robert if you’ve romanced her or earned her trust, allowing Robert to subdue Shroud. Robert then attacks Shroud, and you’ll be faced with a crucial choice: spare Shroud’s life or kill him.

The scene is powerfully shown, with Robert’s face reflected in a puddle as he looks down at Shroud. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and you’re free to choose whatever you prefer. Plus, there’s a unique trophy or achievement for each option, for those who like to collect them. Since the game has four save slots, you can save before making this choice so you can replay both possibilities.

While your decisions don’t drastically alter the game’s ending, you will notice some small changes. For example, if you choose to kill Shroud, the reporter Chase will question you about an SDN dispatcher being responsible. Chase will protect your identity and claim Shroud deserved what happened. Later, Blond Blazer will let you know that Robert has been temporarily suspended and is under investigation, but she’ll imply this is just a procedural step.

Choosing to let Shroud go, which many players might think is the best option, will actually result in the police taking him into custody. The interview with Chase will be a little different, with the interviewer asking about the SDN dispatcher who apprehended Shroud. Otherwise, not much will change, and the episode will conclude as originally planned.
