During the pickup quest, the way V deals with Royce affects the quest outcome.
If you shoot Royce, Stout is waiting outside.
If you takedown Royce, Gilchrist is waiting outside.
Not sure what's the reason for this, it's the exact same conversation path up to that point with the exact same result - kill 'em all.
But for some unexplained reason the game treats this as a different "path".
Any solid explanation to this or it is another bug?
Another thing that bothers me from story perspective with this quest is that V is a mercenary and there is no reward for the 2 main quests "The Pickup", "The Information".
Not that rewards from any mission is useful, but from story perspective it's hard to accept that a mercenary will do 2 missions for free just because the fixer promises payment for a 3rd.
