Big Mike

[lemming]

So, did the heroic thing and beat up some thugs who were going to kidnap some jurors.  Level 20 range tips.

When I went in, the fights with the goons went fine, but just before defeat, they turned blue as if I was supposed to talk to them.  No dialogue though.

Mission went fine and it was able to be completed, but no reward for beating them which was the only consequence. Mission script may need tweaking.

It's not a script thing as far as I can tell. When you go to save the jurors, you only beat up the bosses until they surrender. Then they either call the next boss or tell you that you have nothing on them as part of turning friendly. Since you never actually defeat them, or at least aren't supposed to be able to, there is no defeat reward for them. The only way to defeat the bosses on that tip is to do the vigilante version and convince Big Mike to confess at trial. (Which of course leaves you with a beaten up jury at the trial.)

 

Edit: Actually, I think even Big Mike surrenders before defeat, so no reward for him either. Been a while, so I don't really remember, sorry. So that tip may not give boss defeat rewards regardless of version accepted except for any extra bosses on the map.

Well, my question is, is it working as intended?

 

Standard mission with the instructions to defeat enemies, but then they never get defeated.  They just stand around after you hit them a few times.

You arrested them and Big Mike gets convicted.

 

It's a definite oddity in how it's resolved.

Given the responses from the bosses on that tip mission and how the fights go? My response is "yes". If you want a dev response? I'm not a dev, don't hold your breath, but maybe one of them will give clarification.

 

(Also, you don't arrest any of the bosses in that mission. Like at least one of them tells you when he stops fighting, you don't have any provable grounds to arrest them.)

From the mission bit: "You were able to apprehend the goons before they kidnapped the innocent jurors."

Will they be convicted, who knows?

 

The mission is an anomaly, and I did post it here for the dev's attention.
