Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing the events at Chora's Den and reporting to Ambassador Udina, return to the Embassy.
  2. 2
    As you try to leave, a man will call out to you near reception. Speak to him to begin the Homecoming assignment.
  3. 3
    The man, Samesh, explains he needs his wife's body released for a proper burial. He directs you to Bosker, who is in charge of the matter.
  4. 4
    Go to the Embassy Lounge and find Bosker by the bar. Speak with him.
  5. 5
    You have dialogue options:
    • Saying “This isn’t right.” (requires 2 points of Charm) will convince Bosker and earn +8 Paragon.
  6. 6
    Saying “I’m releasing the body.” (requires 2 points of Intimidate) will force Bosker to release the body and earn +9 Renegade.
  7. 7
    After dealing with Bosker, you will need to speak with Samesh again.
  8. 8
    You can choose to agree with Bosker and convince Samesh of the greater good, or choose other options. Return to Samesh to make a final decision.
  9. 9
    You have new dialogue choices:
    • Saying “This is important.” (requires 3 points of Charm) will win Samesh over and earn +8 Paragon.
  10. 10
    Saying “This is war.” (requires 3 points of Intimidate) will force Samesh to see reason and earn +9 Renegade.
  11. 11
    Other dialogue choices will give you more time to decide or raise your Charm and Intimidate skills.
  12. 12
    You cannot complete this assignment without passing a Charm or Intimidate skill check. If you do not have enough points in either skill, you will need to leave and return later after leveling up.
Tips
  • Ensure you have sufficient Charm or Intimidate points before speaking to Bosker and Samesh to complete the assignment in one go.
  • The dialogue choices directly impact your Paragon or Renegade score. Choose wisely based on your desired alignment.
  • Paragon or Renegade points based on your dialogue choices.
