Every lie has its price.

Starfield features many quests involving choices that will more or less affect self-contained plotlines. Of course, decisions such as the choice between Hunter and Emissary have enormous story consequences, resulting in the ending being easier or much more difficult. As for A Legacy Forged in Starfield, your choice to determine the life of Vae Victis matters much less. Finishing the United Colonies faction questline, you will decide the fate of this detained admiral. You know that he is to blame, but should you lie?

Should You Lie For Vae Victis in Starfield?

First of all, it is worth noting that this choice does not have a “correct” solution but a more profitable one. To put things frankly, we suggest you choose to side with Vae Victis in Starfield during A Legacy Forged. This decision will give you some side content but will not affect the final mission. Once you complete the final faction quest, you will receive 100,000 Credits and a high title in the United Colonies. But if you are looking for more specifics, you will find all the details below.

What Happens if You Side With Vae Victis – Best Choice

By siding with Vae Victis, you will have to lie to Hadrian and the UC Cabinet. Instead of confirming the guilt of the old admiral, you will play along with his lies and slander the dead colleague of Vae Victis. However, you have nothing to worry about with this decision. The UC Cabinet will not notice your deception because the defendant brought evidence of his colleague’s guilt in advance; the commission only needs your verbal confirmation.

As a reward for your lies, you will be able to meet Vae Victis once again in the Subsection Seven building not far from the MAST building. Then, you can start a new line of side quests involving hunting down Colony Wars war criminals. Each eliminated target will bring you a good income, so your lie will have ended up raking in a decent profit.

What Happens if You Turn Victis In?

If you decide to do the right thing and tell the truth during Starfield’s Vae Victis choice event, he will be executed or sent to prison. We say this as an assumption of his fate since you cannot find him in the Subsection Seven building afterward. With this A Legacy Forged choice in Starfield, you will lose out on accessing the war criminal hunting quests.

To conclude, here are the two choices for A Legacy Forged and their outcomes:

  • Lie for Vae Victis: Gain access to some assassination quests.
  • Turn in Vae Victis: Receive nothing but the satisfaction that you did the right thing.
