Avoiding the Rooftop Blues: A Not-So-Subtle Art
First things first, let's talk prevention. The key to keeping Simon safe is during the Stratford Tower mission. Here's where those negotiation skills you never knew you had come in handy.
- Option 1: Ruse Cruise Control - Instead of going in all guns blazing (metaphorically speaking, of course, Markus doesn't actually have guns... yet), choose the "Ruse" option when approaching the guards. This might involve some fancy footwork and a sprinkle of Markus charm.
- Option 2: Die Hard with Less Yippee-Ki-Yay - If things go south and a fight breaks out, don't shoot the fleeing operator guy. This might seem counter-intuitive, but trust me, it's the difference between Simon getting clipped by a sniper and him joining you on that epic jump off the roof.
When Push Comes to Shove: Simon MIA
Alright, so maybe things didn't go according to plan and Simon ended up stranded on the rooftop. Don't despair, there's still hope!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
- Connor's Curiosity Can Be Deadly: If you're playing as Connor, resist the urge to investigate the kitchen or the roof. Seriously, there's nothing to see here... except maybe a very disgruntled android trying to avoid becoming target practice. Let Connor and Hank mosey on out, blissfully unaware.
- Markus to the Rescue (Maybe): If you're playing as Markus, there's a chance you can find Simon later on depending on your choices. Keep an eye out for a special cutscene that might just reunite you with your sarcastic best bud.
Remember: Throughout the game, your choices heavily influence the outcome of the story, including Simon's fate. Be mindful of your decisions, and you might just create a future where Simon's sass continues to grace the revolution.
