The Outer Worlds Edgewater Or Botanical Choice - Eurogamer

What else do you need to do after choosing Edgewater in The Outer Worlds?

Upon returning to Adelaide at the Botanical Camp, she will, of course, be angry that you decided not to protect her new home.

She will go you to choices: convince her fellow deserters to return to Edgewater under Reed's control or remove Reed entirely, allowing her to become the community's only leader.

Just like when you diverted the power, this decision will affect your reputation with Spacer's Choice and the Deserters.

Convince Deserters to return to Edgewater

Thomas Kemp and Grace Romero are the two deserters that you must convince to return to Edgewater.

If you want them to return to Edgewater, then you must first complete their side quests.

For Thomas you must complete The Frightened Engineer and, for Grace, A Few Kindred Spirits.

Once you've completed both side quests, you'll be able to convince Thomas and Grace to return to Edgewater.

Now you can return to town yourself and tell Reed the good news. You'll be rewarded with 13,200 XP and a reputation boost with Spacer's Choice.

Remove Reed from Edgewater

There are two ways to make Reed leave Edgewater.

The first is murder.

This is a risky option, because the two guards in Reed's office will start attacking you. Parvati will also try to leave your party if kill Reed and you don't have 10 Determination to convince her to stay.

After you've killed Reed, your reputation with Spacer's Choice will descend the highest negative level and you'll obtain Reed's Key, which will allow you to enter his private room.

The second option is to convince him to leave, which you can only do if you have 15 Persuade and 25 Lie.

Simply return to Reed's office and go through the dialogue options until you have the opportunity to persuade him to leave.

If you know the contents of Adelaide's fertilizer, then the Lie amount will be slightly decreased.

Once Reed has left Edgewater, return to Adelaide and she'll give you Adelaide's Watch, which you can sell for 1,750 Bits.

Your reputation with the Deserter's will increase, while your reputation with The Board will decrease a small amount.
