The Wages of All and Few — The Outer Worlds Walkthrough

Continue your investigation into the plight of the miners in 'The Wages of All and Few.' This chapter of the questline deepens the mystery and presents you with more complex moral dilemmas. Your actions will directly impact the lives of the workers and the power balance in Emerald Vale.

This quest picks up from the events of 'The Wages of All and None.' After gathering initial evidence, you'll likely have a clearer picture of the situation but still need to uncover the full extent of Spacer's Choice's involvement. Welles will likely have more specific leads for you, potentially pointing towards a particular individual within Spacer's Choice or a hidden facility. You might be tasked with retrieving specific data, sabotaging equipment, or even rescuing trapped individuals. The path forward often involves navigating through more heavily guarded areas or dealing with more dangerous adversaries.

Key objectives and locations in this stage include:

  1. Infiltrating Spacer's Choice Facilities: You may need to access more secure areas within Spacer's Choice operations. This could involve bypassing security systems, disabling turrets, or engaging in combat with elite guards. Look for keycards, hacking opportunities, or alternative entry points.
  2. Gathering Corroborating Evidence: You'll need to find more concrete proof of Spacer's Choice's wrongdoing. This might involve finding audio logs, personal journals, or witness testimonies from disgruntled employees.
  3. Dealing with Key NPCs: You might encounter individuals who are either complicit in the exploitation or are themselves victims. Your interactions with them will be crucial in shaping the narrative and potential outcomes.

The quest often introduces a moral grey area. You might discover that not all Spacer's Choice employees are villains, and some may be acting under duress or have their own motivations. Consider the implications of your actions on these individuals. For instance, if you choose to destroy a facility, you might be harming innocent workers who rely on it for their livelihood. The choices you make here will directly influence the next steps of the quest and the ultimate resolution of the miners' situation. Be prepared for combat encounters, as Spacer's Choice will actively defend its operations.
