You know what gets me about the 'kill your partner' endings? If it's Salem that chooses, Rios turns with his gun, Salem's just quicker at pulling the trigger. If Rios chooses to kill his partner, Salem keeps his gun trained on Jonah the entire time.
10 years late reply, but holy shit I never noticed that before. Rios was gonna shoot Salem either way, then; it's just Salem acts faster in his ending. Pretty shady on Rios' part, imo.
I know I’m late to this comment but I agree with this choice of character development by the creators. In the first game Ryos is altruistic and wants the war to end, he just wants to help people. Salem on the other hand only wants to pay off his debts and to become rich. It makes sense that if the decision had to be made between the greater good and personal benefit that ryos would act on the greater good. That’s why ryos turns and tries to shoot Salem before Salem even shows that he’ll kill ryos. Salem on the other hand doesn’t have that moral compass so doesn’t feel the need to help the greater good. Maybe that’s why in the quests of “save the hostages?” Has a question mark due to Salem being unaltruistic. Just a thought
@@kaanaltntas3966 While shady yes, not all that surprising. Throughout the first game and second game Rios was always the more moral one, he would always wanna "do the right thing" in his mind he probably thought millions were at stake and he had to do it
Good morality choice (Kill Partner) - This means that you sacrifice your partner to save millions of lives. This is NOT the canon ending. The nuclear bomb is a bluff, staged by Jonah so he can get out of this 2 v 1 situation. You shoot your partner. Jonah pretends to disarm the bomb, so he can reach the pistol on the desk to shoot the remaining mercenary, but his plan fails as he is shot anyway. The remaining mercenary looks at the screens and realises that they were played and made a mistake.
2:22 Look carefully and you'll notice that Rios was about to shoot Salem but Salem was faster!!!!! The moment when Rios got shot and screamed then Salem yelled "Ahhh GIVE THE ORDER... NOW!!!!" Shocked me!!!! I felt like a little child who's too scared to look under his bed!!!!!
Me n my brother use to play all 3 ,we love 40th day ,didn’t like the last Kuz Salem traded n all of a sudden this game was “lost “ but my brother gone so even if I had this game it’s a heartbreaker
As far as I've seen, you don't play as Salem and Rios in The Devil's Cartel. You play as some other guys from the merc group they were a part of in the first game. Either way, I wouldn't say either one of these endings is a "good" one. They're both a bit negative. If either was meant to be a "good" ending, I'd still think it would be the one where they both live. It'd be easy to continue a story from that one.
@oprime Way to look at it black and white. Sure if the dude your fighting was a regular guy yeah that woul work. But this guy is also trained so he can take a bulltshot to the leg or a non lethal spot in the stomach and still hold on to the detonator.
Have you played the 1st and the 2nd Army of two? They were great, this fucked up the gameplay, feels like a generic shooter now. and Story wise, Salem & Rios were like brothers,then they go and make one a an evil douche.
yea i played the first and 2nd one they were good. i know that was fuck'd up how they could make one person go bad over a woman and being left for dead.
Man, it's just not their style to do that to one another, Yea who ever wrote this game can give him a reason to go bad...but like I said, they wouldn't do that to one another. It's out of character.
Trey Maxwell you know why??? I'll tell you, because when you shoot your buddy, you'll be a heartless killer and a backstabber but when 7 million people die because you didn't stab your buddy in the back then their blood is not on your hand, it's on the hands of the madman who killed them because you refused to comply and you're not responsible for the actions of a madman!!!!!
@@fireteamdelta9108 no, the reason why Salem went AWOL was because they didn't check the burning truck to see if he's alive or not, he felt abandoned and it doesn't justify what he did but they (Alpha, Bravo and Rios) couldn't check on the truck because Someone had to go for Fiona while the other had to stay and cover the injured Rios.

It's the ending that is used in canon. If they decided to use the positive morality choice, they couldn't use Salem or Rios in the Devil's Cartel as the outcome would be that one of them was dead, depending on the players choice. It is also hinted that the 40th day campaign in canon is completed with mostly positive morality choices except for the last choice, as when you make too much wrong choices Rios will mention he will abandon Salem after they take down Jonah.
The one thing I extremely hated in this game, is that I couldn’t hear a DAMN WORD! No subtitles and you can’t adjust audio either, if not because of the explosions and gunfire, then it’s either the music, background noises or they just plain speak low and can’t understand what’s going on.
I used to play this with my niece when were just kids, great game tbh. I actually got the game on the tray of an Xbox i rented so it was a free one lol
@@THEWade-hj5iyNah, not all of the choices were good tbh. Like the one with the tiger or the one with the Russian soldier(I forgot his name) as much as I love the 40th day, it's not as good as ppl say it is.
I still think that the most fitting ending is the one where Rios shoots Salem. I love them both, but to remain true to their characters, Rios is the more black-and-white kind of guy, and as much as he cares for his partner, it's the lives of 7 million people at stake vs. one life. That being said, though, I won't be nearly as thrilled to play Devil's Cartel with no Rios or Salem as the main guys.
There are technically three endings. Kill Rios, Kill Salem, or Kill Jonah, the ending considered to be the "good" ending that they continued off of is killing Jonah. The reason they only show two is because killing Rios as Salem or killing Salem as Rios provides essentially the same cinematic, just with the different character.
@Zack0Amizuki Yeah it's pretty messed up, especially since his bluff is so obvious. I killed him knowing full well that no bomb would ever go off, yet apparantly I'm evil for that lol. The game just assumes that you're willing to sacrifice the civilians. I guess there's no way EA could have made it so that the game knew you were calling his bluff though. That would have been a bit too complicated I think.
Tristan Jeno they're all are and The Devil's Cartel is getting too much hate!!!!! Salem was a hustler, a two bit gangster before he became a mercenary, he always cares about money more than the cause of the mission and that is clear in The 40th Day and in the first one!!!!! Deep inside, Salem is a crook and I know that Rios is an idiot for not trying to salvage Salem from the truck before it went on fire as he was busy calling for Salem's MIA but Salem is an idiot too for leaving his teammates behind and driving a truck that is about to get shot with a rocket launcher, did he think that the truck would outrun a rocket that moves as fast as a Ferrari!!!!! They left him because they weren't sure if he's dead or alive and it's almost impossible for a guy who's trapped inside a burning truck to survive and Alpha and Bravo are two not three, they can't save Fiona, cover Rios and salvage Salem at the same time and anyone whose friends thought he was dead would conclude that they left him for dead so the story makes sense!!!!!
I have played them all multiple times. 40th day is the most polished and dynamic (overall a total blast to play in Co-op, especially the first time, its just pure fun). The Devil's Cartel is the most action packed, Over The Top Hollywood experience. The first one feels more grounded, with a military operative feel to it. The first one is clunky and needs a lot more polish to it. It probably has the most interesting and best lineup of weapons. It has some interesting levels and overall is a fun experience, its just not a smooth play is all. 40th day needs a better lineup of weapons (its good, just not great). They have 3 sidearms (what the hell?). The Deagle is awesome, at least they have that in there. Overall, there isn't much to not like about it, maybe make it less linear and a bigger range of enemies that don't look the same. like I said before its just so much fun to play. The Devil's Cartel is too easy. I don't like the overdrive system, it takes the challenge out of the game (take invincibility off from it and speed up the slow motion a bit). The combat system works, but could be argued its a step backwards. They took away a lot of the Co-op teammate elements that made 40th Day great (biggest problem, lost personality). When it's all said and done a person is going to be biased which one they like better. Objectively, 40th Day is the best with The Devil's Cartel and First Game being a coin toss for 2nd place. I like all three of them a lot and it's sad the franchise is gone.
My friend and I agreed to kill Jonah, cause we noticed that he wasn't even pressing down on the detonator, so we figured that it had to be a dud; and it didn't actually do anything when he let it go. My friend was playing as Elliot, and we gave him the satisfaction of killing him; but I don't understand how it turned out to be a negative choice, Jonah was a tyrant who wanted to destroy the world, I think we did the virtual world a favor. Elliot Salem is a BAD ASS!!!!!!
I dont give a sh!t about what anybody says, TDC is Non Cannon and the best ending is where Salem Sacrifices Rios. It showed WAY more Humanity & Skill to do so. This Game is a Amazing hidden GEM now but F*%k EA for ruining the franchise like they did with DeadSpace & Dantes inferno because of greed and Crappy fan Service!
The canon ending in The 40th Day is Rios shooting Salem (You have to beat The 40th Day playing as Rios). In The Devils Cartel, Salem tries to justify his actions, stating that Rios left Alice behind (presumably killing her) and Rios shot him.
@@THEWade-hj5iy but why would she have been in the chopper in the first place? Her last bit of dialogue gives no indication she was in there and it wouldn't make any logical sense for her to be in one anyways.
I agree with you say to a point. I think Salem killing Rios would have been a better ending mostly because Salem is obviously the one who has less of a problem making questionably moral decisions and you'd expect him to be the first to be willing to let millions of people die to save his friend. But I get what you mean though, killing Jonah was the morally bad decision because millions of people died but I think they made it the canon ending to please fans.
I have a question for people...what morality choices did you make in 40th Day? I let JB go because IMO that seems more like what Rios n Salem would do...they don't take orders from anyone, they are their own bosses now...that was the point of the first game. I took the weapons...true u kill the guard if this happens but Salem does it by accident so... I refuse to kill the tiger WTF why would I kill it? that is just harsh. I tell the kid to stay hidden in the hospital, don't try n grab the gun. I stop the Russian guy from hurting the woman...true she isn't nice but Rios and Salem couldn't have known that. To be honest the final choice seems obvious to me...kill Jonah...also if you do this shanghai doesn't blow up anyway so I don't get the big deal...its like there is no consequence to it. but having Salem do that sets up his behaviour in the third game much better IMO than if he shoots Rios.
J.C. Hogg ah, but screw that, his men are all dead...or most of them are. i'm curious though, when they mention Shanghai in the third game which ending were they referring too...cause I always kill Jonah...it makes more sense with Salem going off the deep end.
When I first got to this scene I never believed Jonas, most of Shanghai is destroyed by the conventional weaponry in their possession and he has an entire army to bury the city ten times over. Kill my partner my fellow brother after all that we've been through FUCK THAT!!! Killing ur partner is good morality and killing Jonas is Bad. Killing ur partner because of a bluff u lose either way. SHOOT FIRST THEN FACE THE CONSEQUENCES LATER.
I would be excited if they announce a new army of two game these games were handled with care they weren't perfect but you can see how much fun the devs had making this game. It's such a blast to play .. The devil's Cartel was really a step back It's a fun game sure but it can sure get repetitive. Someone anyone please pick up this franchise cuz EA can't see how good it is and they keep pumping out mediocre battlefield game except battlefield 1. This game is so underrated the first one was good vut I had some gripes with it and the 40th day improved everything from the first and fixed the problems of the first as well it also had a very good multiplayer that has a unique concept.
So if you kill Rios, Shanghai will be safe, if you kill Jonah, Shanghai will be destroyed? If thats true, i would rather sacrafice Shanghai than kill Rios.
I don't like how the game has the nerve to say im "immoral" for prioritizing my friendship and loyalty to the one I care about to people that(in all honesty) i have no attachment to nor do I have any obligation to protect and save. Im not an altruistic individual and I don't believe you can moralize sacrifice, its done by individuals who believe in the cause they fight for. Some may be fighting on the side of "good" but even then the "good" side could be completely delusional and illogical like the Nazi's they thought they were fighting for what was right but they were slaughtering people by the millions or countries that combatants are freedom fighters in one name, but terrorist in another. I think this is just a gray decision and its how it should have been looked at as. Alot of complaint is that the ending was very mean spirited, and i can see how people can see that but my complaint is the game pre-judges you on the decision as wrong instead of it being just a decision you make. Tell-tales perfected these kinds of true moral decisions Army of Two the 40th day was just playing with the idea in my opinion.
I played this with my best friend my only friend we played the game all night till morning this was morning when he said sacrifice my buddy and I looked down at our controls and at the same time said do it
I played this with one of my mother's friend's nephew doing co-op, he was Rios and I was Salem. It was a fun game, superior than The Devil's Cartel because of the choice options that makes the game more intriguing. He asks me what choice to pick each time considering he played it before and it was my first time playing, I answer my choices and made the vote on his controller, until this very last choice. I was analysing the situation and he asks me what choice to pick, then a thought came to mind that I narrow my eyes and made the vote myself for the first time on my controller. He starts asking what choice did I pick and I silently let the scene play with a sneaky smile. "If that trigger explodes the bombs the second your finger lifts off the button, why does it need a button?" With that, I voted Salem to kill Jonah against his bluff with this one flaw I noticed.
@Zack0Amizuki That thing he was holding was a dead man's trigger. Basically you hold the button down to activate the bomb, and if your finger leaves the button the bomb detonates. If a person holding one dies then obviously they'll let go of the button involuntarily. The thing people are a bit miffed about is that he never actually activated the bomb. His finger never touched the button, so the bomb couldn't have gone off. Yet you are still punished with negative morality for killing him.
in coop I was player one and played as Salem. The ending was slightly different. Salem kills Jonas by blasting him in the chest until both triggers go click.
Yeah im actually surprised the plot doesnt go anywhere despite the strong set up. Suddenly we fight this guy who we never has any emotional attachment before? Compare it to the first game, which the plot starts with mystery and it builds up to the satisfying climax, this game is an embarrassment in comparison.
Come on, as good as a shot as these guys are. At such a close range I am sure he could have shot him in a NON-Lethal spot and still have tricked the bad guy into honoring the freedom of 7 million people. Then they could have BOTH shot the bad guy. That would have been the *best* ending to this game.
yeah i dont care about this games stupid morality, killing your partner is the bad ending. its called Army Of TWO!. btw, he says "if i let go of this detonator" yet he's not even holding it.
@l3awl3ag thanks pal. but that's fucking wrong, you killed hundreds of those fuckers, why would you obtain so much bad morale for one strange perv guy with deep voice? :D
i got a different ending when i played as salem, when i chose to kill jonah, salem starts shooting him up with his glocks and rios says "do you know what you just did?" or something like that
Considering he let go of the trigger and held it with 2 fingers, it is obviously not a dead man's - and it's pretty obvious to me he's just trying to manipulate with his speech. I'd have called bluff on the nuclear detonator gotten it from him somehow, then dragged him over to his computers to give the order to stop... if he didn't feel like doing it voluntarily I'd have begun pulverizing bodyparts until he complied. That or gotten S3kshun8 to help out after I got rid of him. (if he's around)
when i played we choosed to kill him and it was similar but i dint get the same speach when teh choppas fly at the end at like 5 mins or so. and btw i prefer salem mainly because i played him and most people always go for the big muscular guy usually so i went for originality pick i guess.

Either way, I wouldn't say either one of these endings is a "good" one. They're both a bit negative. If either was meant to be a "good" ending, I'd still think it would be the one where they both live. It'd be easy to continue a story from that one.

The first one is clunky and needs a lot more polish to it. It probably has the most interesting and best lineup of weapons. It has some interesting levels and overall is a fun experience, its just not a smooth play is all.
40th day needs a better lineup of weapons (its good, just not great). They have 3 sidearms (what the hell?). The Deagle is awesome, at least they have that in there. Overall, there isn't much to not like about it, maybe make it less linear and a bigger range of enemies that don't look the same. like I said before its just so much fun to play.
The Devil's Cartel is too easy. I don't like the overdrive system, it takes the challenge out of the game (take invincibility off from it and speed up the slow motion a bit). The combat system works, but could be argued its a step backwards. They took away a lot of the Co-op teammate elements that made 40th Day great (biggest problem, lost personality).
When it's all said and done a person is going to be biased which one they like better. Objectively, 40th Day is the best with The Devil's Cartel and First Game being a coin toss for 2nd place. I like all three of them a lot and it's sad the franchise is gone.
My friend and I agreed to kill Jonah, cause we noticed that he wasn't even pressing down on the detonator, so we figured that it had to be a dud; and it didn't actually do anything when he let it go. My friend was playing as Elliot, and we gave him the satisfaction of killing him; but I don't understand how it turned out to be a negative choice, Jonah was a tyrant who wanted to destroy the world, I think we did the virtual world a favor.
Elliot Salem is a BAD ASS!!!!!!
I dont give a sh!t about what anybody says, TDC is Non Cannon and the best ending is where Salem Sacrifices Rios. It showed WAY more Humanity & Skill to do so. This Game is a Amazing hidden GEM now but F*%k EA for ruining the franchise like they did with DeadSpace & Dantes inferno because of greed and Crappy fan Service!
The canon ending in The 40th Day is Rios shooting Salem (You have to beat The 40th Day playing as Rios). In The Devils Cartel, Salem tries to justify his actions, stating that Rios left Alice behind (presumably killing her) and Rios shot him.
We never really know if Alice is dead or not(and the ending to DC kind of hints that she isn't)
Late reply but, maybe Murray died, since surviving a helicopter crash isnt the most common thing on earth
@@THEWade-hj5iy but why would she have been in the chopper in the first place? Her last bit of dialogue gives no indication she was in there and it wouldn't make any logical sense for her to be in one anyways.
@@jadedheartsz i read in a part that she was in a helicopter, im not sure but i remember that in the psp version they mention a helicopter
I dont understand why you lose morality since there is NO NUKE ANYWAY watch the monitors and the comic- looking cutscene
I agree with you say to a point. I think Salem killing Rios would have been a better ending mostly because Salem is obviously the one who has less of a problem making questionably moral decisions and you'd expect him to be the first to be willing to let millions of people die to save his friend. But I get what you mean though, killing Jonah was the morally bad decision because millions of people died but I think they made it the canon ending to please fans.
salem is the kind of guy you want to hang out with
Rios is the kind of guy you want as backup for a fight
I have a question for people...what morality choices did you make in 40th Day?
I let JB go because IMO that seems more like what Rios n Salem would do...they don't take orders from anyone, they are their own bosses now...that was the point of the first game.
I took the weapons...true u kill the guard if this happens but Salem does it by accident so...
I refuse to kill the tiger WTF why would I kill it? that is just harsh.
I tell the kid to stay hidden in the hospital, don't try n grab the gun.
I stop the Russian guy from hurting the woman...true she isn't nice but Rios and Salem couldn't have known that.
To be honest the final choice seems obvious to me...kill Jonah...also if you do this shanghai doesn't blow up anyway so I don't get the big deal...its like there is no consequence to it. but having Salem do that sets up his behaviour in the third game much better IMO than if he shoots Rios.
The detonator is a ploy in both endings but if you shoot Jonah, he doesn't give the order for his men to pull out.
J.C. Hogg ah, but screw that, his men are all dead...or most of them are. i'm curious though, when they mention Shanghai in the third game which ending were they referring too...cause I always kill Jonah...it makes more sense with Salem going off the deep end.
I replayed it 3 times. First I made the choices I wanted to make, second I made all bad choices, and third I made all the good choices.
@@IDyce88 In the third game, Rios is alive. Obviously killing Jonah was the outcome.
When I first got to this scene I never believed Jonas, most of Shanghai is destroyed by the conventional weaponry in their possession and he has an entire army to bury the city ten times over. Kill my partner my fellow brother after all that we've been through FUCK THAT!!! Killing ur partner is good morality and killing Jonas is Bad.
Killing ur partner because of a bluff u lose either way.
SHOOT FIRST THEN FACE THE CONSEQUENCES LATER.
Isn’t there technically 3 endings? 1 Salem shoots; 1 Rios shoots...
I would be excited if they announce a new army of two game these games were handled with care they weren't perfect but you can see how much fun the devs had making this game. It's such a blast to play .. The devil's Cartel was really a step back It's a fun game sure but it can sure get repetitive. Someone anyone please pick up this franchise cuz EA can't see how good it is and they keep pumping out mediocre battlefield game except battlefield 1. This game is so underrated the first one was good vut I had some gripes with it and the 40th day improved everything from the first and fixed the problems of the first as well it also had a very good multiplayer that has a unique concept.
even know it has two decision , but everyone who play this game offer a very small percent to kill salem and the other would likes to kill jonah !!!!
wait....when i played trough the game i had rios shoot salem tho ???
There’s 4 actual endings; depending on which character presses the button
My brother and I were playing together and he didn't hesitate to shoot me
There's 4 endings 2 for each characters
4:04 EPIC HEADSHOT
I've played Army of Two at least three times. ...
i believe killing the enemy is the good ending cause there all happy
So if you kill Rios, Shanghai will be safe, if you kill Jonah, Shanghai will be destroyed?
If thats true, i would rather sacrafice Shanghai than kill Rios.
this is pretty much the first game I've ever seen where the 'evil' ending is better than the 'good' ending
For me, that was Saints Row: The Third.
Wtf just happened i cant remember someone tell me
I don't like how the game has the nerve to say im "immoral" for prioritizing my friendship and loyalty to the one I care about to people that(in all honesty) i have no attachment to nor do I have any obligation to protect and save. Im not an altruistic individual and I don't believe you can moralize sacrifice, its done by individuals who believe in the cause they fight for. Some may be fighting on the side of "good" but even then the "good" side could be completely delusional and illogical like the Nazi's they thought they were fighting for what was right but they were slaughtering people by the millions or countries that combatants are freedom fighters in one name, but terrorist in another. I think this is just a gray decision and its how it should have been looked at as.
Alot of complaint is that the ending was very mean spirited, and i can see how people can see that but my complaint is the game pre-judges you on the decision as wrong instead of it being just a decision you make.
Tell-tales perfected these kinds of true moral decisions Army of Two the 40th day was just playing with the idea in my opinion.
I played this with my best friend my only friend we played the game all night till morning this was morning when he said sacrifice my buddy and I looked down at our controls and at the same time said do it
I played this with one of my mother's friend's nephew doing co-op, he was Rios and I was Salem. It was a fun game, superior than The Devil's Cartel because of the choice options that makes the game more intriguing. He asks me what choice to pick each time considering he played it before and it was my first time playing, I answer my choices and made the vote on his controller, until this very last choice. I was analysing the situation and he asks me what choice to pick, then a thought came to mind that I narrow my eyes and made the vote myself for the first time on my controller. He starts asking what choice did I pick and I silently let the scene play with a sneaky smile.
"If that trigger explodes the bombs the second your finger lifts off the button, why does it need a button?"
With that, I voted Salem to kill Jonah against his bluff with this one flaw I noticed.
Forget all personality tests. That says everything about you and what you are.
@Zack0Amizuki That thing he was holding was a dead man's trigger. Basically you hold the button down to activate the bomb, and if your finger leaves the button the bomb detonates. If a person holding one dies then obviously they'll let go of the button involuntarily.
The thing people are a bit miffed about is that he never actually activated the bomb. His finger never touched the button, so the bomb couldn't have gone off. Yet you are still punished with negative morality for killing him.
in coop I was player one and played as Salem. The ending was slightly different. Salem kills Jonas by blasting him in the chest until both triggers go click.
The original No Way Out
how the hell does this armor not stop a pistol even though throughout the entire game he eats bullets?
I need to play this game again
This plot is bad,WTF
Yeah im actually surprised the plot doesnt go anywhere despite the strong set up. Suddenly we fight this guy who we never has any emotional attachment before? Compare it to the first game, which the plot starts with mystery and it builds up to the satisfying climax, this game is an embarrassment in comparison.
Come on, as good as a shot as these guys are. At such a close range I am sure he could have shot him in a NON-Lethal spot and still have tricked the bad guy into honoring the freedom of 7 million people. Then they could have BOTH shot the bad guy. That would have been the *best* ending to this game.
Theres a third ending if you kill your partner while playing as rios
My ending: After Jonah grabs that guy that you shoot a couple times...
Jonah: WAIT!
Me:-BOOM HEADSHOT!-
@PyroBooty96 killing ur partner its supposed to be the "good ending"
yeah i dont care about this games stupid morality, killing your partner is the bad ending. its called Army Of TWO!. btw, he says "if i let go of this detonator" yet he's not even holding it.
actually there are 3 endings. Rios kill Salem, Salem kill Rios, and they kill Jonah...
@l3awl3ag thanks pal. but that's fucking wrong, you killed hundreds of those fuckers, why would you obtain so much bad morale for one strange perv guy with deep voice? :D
Even though Salem turned bad he still is a badass
Hopefully if we get another game Devil's Cartel will fall into discontinuity
God the story for this game is so bad
i got a different ending when i played as salem, when i chose to kill jonah, salem starts shooting him up with his glocks and rios says "do you know what you just did?" or something like that
Considering he let go of the trigger and held it with 2 fingers, it is obviously not a dead man's - and it's pretty obvious to me he's just trying to manipulate with his speech. I'd have called bluff on the nuclear detonator gotten it from him somehow, then dragged him over to his computers to give the order to stop... if he didn't feel like doing it voluntarily I'd have begun pulverizing bodyparts until he complied.
That or gotten S3kshun8 to help out after I got rid of him. (if he's around)
Yeah I looked out for that sort of thing, but the ending still kind of implies he's dead.
Nice name by the way, fellow Whovian :D
Rios dies hu
when i played we choosed to kill him and it was similar but i dint get the same speach when teh choppas fly at the end at like 5 mins or so.
and btw i prefer salem mainly because i played him and most people always go for the big muscular guy usually so i went for originality pick i guess.
