Learn how to start and complete The Fourth Estate assignment in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Includes dialogue options, choices, and rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1Once you have become a Spectre (after completing any main mission and leaving the Citadel), return to the Citadel.
- 2Take the Elevator in the Docking Bay up to C-Sec.
- 3As you exit the elevator, approach Khalisah Al-Jilani to begin the Assignment.
- 4You will be presented with a series of interview questions. Your objective is to cast humans as the superior species. You can choose dialogue options that utilize Charm or Intimidate skills, or you can attack Khalisah Al-Jilani at any point to end the interview and earn +2 Renegade points.
- 5Regarding placing the Citadel’s needs before the needs of Earth:
- Saying “It’s not like that.” (Requires 2 Charm) will defend the Council’s authority.
- 6Saying “They know better.” (Requires 2 Intimidate) will defend your own loyalty.
- 7Regarding the command of the Normandy:
- Saying “The Turians helped build it.” (Requires 3 Charm) will state the Turian’s involvement.
- 8Saying “A great human innovation.” (Requires 4 Intimidate) will state human superiority more.
- 9Regarding the handing over of the Normandy to the Citadel:
- Saying “The crew is still Alliance.” (Requires 6 Charm) will attempt to reassure viewers and skip the next question.
- 10Saying “I command the Normandy.” (Requires 5 Intimidate) will assert your own authority and skip the next question.
- 11Saying “That’s only a formality.” will lead to an exclusive question.
- 12If you did not choose a Charm or Intimidate option in the previous question, you will get one final question:
- Saying “If we earn it.” (Requires 8 Charm) will demand humanity earn respect instead of being given it.
- 13Saying “When we’re strong.” (Requires 7 Intimidate) will inform her that military might will demand respect.
- 14The final question pertains to your tracking of Saren. Your choice here will impact what Admiral Hackett remarks when you return to the Normandy.
- 15After the interview ends, you will receive XP and Credits. You will not receive any Paragon/Renegade points until your conversation with Admiral Hackett back on the Normandy.
