Episode 2 immerses you in Robert's new role at SDN, where every conversation and decision shape both professional growth and personal relationships. This chapter builds on the foundation of Episode 1 but shifts focus toward managing heroes and maintaining a strong workplace dynamic.
The episode tests hero management skills through complex dispatch missions that reward careful decision-making and penalize recklessness.
There are five critical choices that heavily affect relationships and performance ratings, alongside several minor ones during missions. The new “relationship memory” system ensures your decisions echo in future interactions, giving weight to every action.
Early on, Royd offers a friendly gesture that seems harmless but holds significance for his perception of you. When he jokes about his nickname, select:
"No, I'm just kidding."
This keeps the conversation light and preserves a positive rapport between you and Royd, opening trust-based dialogue paths later.
Unlike the more introductory first episode, Episode 2 emphasizes professional competence, consequences, and relationship dynamics. Poor judgment may result in long-term penalties that shape the overarching story arc.
Episode 2 deepens the Dispatch experience, blending workplace strategy with character development where each decision shapes both career progress and emotional connections.
