Starfield: Shattered Space - Should You Kill Or Spare Vaeric?

has a number of quests in which players will need to make a difficult choice, including, as is the case with the "" quest, sparing or killing someone. In this case, it's a man named Vaeric, who is wanted dead by Viktor for being a traitor and alive by his mother, Vitoria. It's a tricky choice, especially as both sides can present compelling arguments, depending on what type of character the player is roleplaying as.

After the deed is done, players will then need to return to Viktor and tell him the good — or arguably bad — news. There are once again three options, with each one being a slight variation on the same dialogue choice and all of which result in handing over the signet ring.
