The horror. Bodies strewn everywhere. Some crucified, while others were left to rot out in the sun. I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night from the horrible images I saw that day.

Quests[]

Effects of player's actions[]

  • When the Chosen One is talking to Jo to receive the "investigate the ghost farm" quest, they can ask him to cut off his right pinky finger. Should he go ahead, bad Karma along with the mutilated finger will be received, it is also possible to stop Jo by realizing he is serious about the situation, allowing the man to keep his appendage. If told to saute the finger "in a light garlic sauce," after he cuts it off however, he will pull out a shotgun on the Chosen One in response to the bad joke.
    • This option is only available with positive Karma, and only still if one does not have too much of it. 346 Karma will suffice, which the player character can have if they did every quest until now and helped Tyler against Lara. But, if one helps Lara (ca. 360 Karma), Jo outright rejects cutting off his finger, saying he is desperate, but not dumb.
  • If Jo dies, Bo takes his place as Justice of the Peace.
