Can one side with Rauatai AND keep Tekehu?

[Stardusk78]

I wanted to try a playthrough like this. Are there any options for this?

I think I remember hearing you could convince him to stay. I haven't tried it myself. Some possible factors :

 

1) You might have to boost his rep to +2 and or romance him. Maybe need get to a point in his quest.

 

2) You might need to avoid assassinating the Queen. This is a guess, but this might be avoidable if you don't help the Huana faction much or if you do the self defense thing. Which is you agree to help her and then back out of her plans, after which I assume she has to try to kill you.

You can't avoid assassinating the Queen. This is the final quest for RDC. If Tekehu is present when you receive the quest, he will leave. I didn't romance him when going for RDC so I don't know if that prevents him from leaving.

 

Also Queen never tries to kill you. If you fail every quest for her and then just decline her final offer to join her she gets very angry but that's it. The self-defense option is only for RDC - before giving you the quest to assassinate the queen, hazanui asks for your loyalty, then reveals the plan and then if you reject it, she will try to kill you.

Well ****. I guess that says more about the RDC than I thought.

 

Thank you for correcting me!

What happens if you attack the queen before taking the RDC mission?

Then the RDC says you have to assassinate Castol and there's no other way and they're trying to minimize the loss of life, and try to kill you if you back out. (/s)

But, presumably Tekehu wouldn't object to that one, right? 

 

Does he still leave if you kill the queen on your own, as opposed to part of a mission?
