Forum:(The Pitt spoilers) Who should I side with? Ashur or Werhner?

So, I've saved just before I talk with Ashur. I know I have to kill either Werhner or Ashur, but I don't know who. The only thing I've got so far is I get Ashur's Power Armour from killing him, but thats it.

I sided with ashur, cuz he's ex-BOS, and then reversed pick-pocketed his armor with Tesla armor (hard to do but not impossible).Septic101 15:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

It depends on your perspective of which is the better ending, the slaves being free but almost guareented of not being able to find a cure or Ashur and the raiders controling them and the possibility of the cure being found.

seeing as Ashur and Sandra are seemingly the only ones with scientific and medical knowledge its a safe bet that they are the only ones capable of finding a cure, as Midea has been a slave her whole life with very little education. Werhner's intentions must also be considered, is he truly in it to free the slaves or only control the Pitt. Will the slaves survive without the Raiders to guard them against trogs, wildmen, an other raiders and slavers. do the slaves lives truly improve when you side with Werhner? is it even possible for Ashur to find a cure, and if not wouldnt the slaves be better fighting and dieing free then being suppresed by the slaves. could the raiders truly stand to let Ashur free the slaves if a cure is found? Is Ashur's intentions true if he lets the Raiders enslave and force the slaves to fight and be treated so increbidly poorly? its up to your interpretations, im still deciding after finishing it every way possible.

It is a bit of a morally grey area, but I chose to side with Ashur. He is ex-brotherhood, and if you look in his safe, he really does intend to free the slaves and give out the cure, which is more that I can say for that tool Werhner (he treats you like crap one you've served his purposes, and he seems to more interested in ruling that the slaves welfare). Though more slaves will die in the short run, in the long run a functioning city will be rebuilt with a working steel mill. Also it's not jut that Werhner treats you like crap, his lab is clearly thrown together and he has no background in science, so there's a good chance he'll kill the baby and not find a cure at, and a lot of people will have died for jack squat. If you concerned about loot, don't be, you can get Ashur's power armor by reverse pickpocketing (along with the other unique items), plus the vendors in downtown stay alive (not sure if Slaves take their place if you side with Werhner). Honestly I'd consider this the "good" route, even though pretty much everyone other than Ashur will treat you like crap, it's what's best, sometimes that's what being a hero comes down to.
