Convince Gorin Bester

Mission

Bank Officer Kilborne in Oilville wants you to convince Gorin Bester to repay his loan money.

Description

Bank Officer Kilborne: The Bank is generous. Ask anyone. Most of what prosperity you see around here happened because of us. But the Bank is not stupid, and cannot afford to be overly merciful. We have loaned a substantial amount of chips to a local individual who sought to build and operate his own business. He has defaulted on that loan.

Go an ask him politely to repay the money, would you?

Player:

Tell me more.

Progress

Gorin Bester: Look, you don't understand!

Player: What's to understand? You defaulted on your loan, didn't you?

Gorin Bester: Yes, but -- but there's no way I could've made the payments. Gaunt's Raiders constantly sabotaged my worksite!

Player: Okay. Well, couldn't you explain that to the Bank?

Gorin Bester: I could -- I did! But even if they let me have some time, I sank our entire lives' savings into this. There's no way I can repay the Bank now. No way at all.

Player: Well, that's pretty bleak. What're you going to do once you leave here?

Gorin Bester: Like I said, you don't understand. I...I took out a sort of, of life insurance policy with the Bankers. If I die, the debt is canceled. My family will still be destitute, but at least they won't have to worry about repaying all that money.

Player: If you die? What, are you planning to kill yourself?

Gorin Bester: No, there's a no-suicide clause. It has to be a violent death. ...And you're the one that's going to provide that for me.

Player:

What? You're crazy!
