*Casts resurrect on thread*

I've only played The Protectorate so far. I was totally down for The Protectorate for most of the game and the questline, since they seem to be a more organized institution and with a clear goal for South Underrail. I liked their ideals, liked the people and its approach. Everything was good so far, despite the clear prejudices and poor attitude of many of its members.

The real beauty of the questline of course, is when the Chemical Assault Unit appears. Once they enter the picture, everything The Protectorate and the United Stations supposedly stand for, completely falls apart in front of the player's eyes.

It was a great twist in my opinion. I imagine a similar type of disillusion awaits me when I go with the Free Drones.

That's how it is.  Protectorate looks good at first, drones look bad at first.  After doing their questlines, it switches.

I choose drones for personal reasons and experience.

 While i do see the good arguments for protectorate, i belive in free drones, as having an evil government is worse than any bandits.

Plus:tin cans remind me too much of NATO fascists...

Both. In different playthroughs.

As well as BS Expedition and pirates.

The Drones and the Protectorate are two polarities that I have to choose between, and I really don't like that, and I'm a little angry at Styg for basically shoving an "either this or that" ultimatum in my face, even though neither is a "correct" choice... in fact, it's better not to choose at all, but if you have to, the Protectorate is the only correct choice. The Drones' fight is pointless and merciless, it's doomed to failure, they confidently march to hell ahead of the Protectorate, but they drag innocent people along with them...
