I really wanna enter the independent route now, purely due to being able to kill the Trio. There are consequences to using a human as a living weapon, one of them being the ability to hold a grudge regardless of moral standpoints.
I just hope the MC won’t have to be an asshole to want to do that and that we don’t have to be the “villain” of this story for that, only an enemy of them : )
Hunting the trio, if you’re actually allowed to off ‘em sounds like the perfect route to take with the romanced Mouse and she got killed at the end of one ending. Where it stops being about the job, and is entirely about settling the score.
I believe they said Raquel is one who you can bring with you on the independent route if your romancing them. But that’s only if killing the trio isn’t your goal. (I could be misremembering.)
In all my years of playing and replaying this game I never sat down and took the time to properly try the FBI routes, I always told myself I’d get to it later. I love the Archangel path dearly but god was I missing out. When you’re in the thick of the mess as an Archangel it’s so easy to forget just how much sheer destruction and corruption is taking place. I love how much the FBI path adds to the worldbuilding, it’s like a juicy crime thriller where you’re in the driver’s seat.
I had so much fun. Breach is always a genuine blast to play and will forever be one of my absolute favorites.
