Only 26% of broadcast players made this invisigal choice, and I feel bad for being one of them

Dispatch is the best choose-your-own-adventure-style game I've played since Telltale's heyday with classics like The wolf among us and Tales from the borderland. AdHoc truly captured the writing and narrative weight that made these iconic Telltale games so beloved Dispatchbut it also triggers my choice paralysis in the same way. I often struggle to make the “right” choice in these types of games, and Dispatch immediately made me regret a decision I made with Invisigal in episode 2.

As a player who tends to follow the “lawful good” options in most RPGs (boring, I know), my picks for Robert Robertson's story in Dispatch reflect this tendency. I wanted to take the Z Team from a bunch of underachieving criminals and turn them into a top SDN performer. To this end, I made sure to choose the no-nonsense, tough love options whenever possible to fit with my legal good playstyle. However, I think this turned out to be a mistake, and now I wish I had taken a different path.

Dispatch made me feel guilty for nagging Invisigal in episode 2

I'm probably in the minority, but Invisigal really rubbed me the wrong way when she was introduced during Robert's first day at SDN. After Dispatch Episode 1, I was 100% on the Blonde Blazer bandwagon and even got Robert to kiss her during their billboard date (which 55% of players did, so at least I'm not in the minority). When Invisigal came into the picture as a slacker who wouldn't follow orders and became a liability to Robert's job, I couldn't help but be annoyed with her character when I compared her to the much more capable Blonde Blazer.

Invisigal's episode 2 choices didn't prepare me for her episode 3 and 4 story

• 8% of players rejected Royd's brother fist

• 26% of players rated Invisigal

• 46% of players did not let Sonar face Vanderstenk

I think I played this episode a bit too deterrent compared to most players, fending off Royd's bathroom brother fist and stopping Sonar from bugging Vanderstenk on a mission. But the absolute biggest mistake I made in Dispatch Episode 2 was too harsh on Invisigal and then she ranted at Blonde Blazer for hitting Robert. Wanting to maintain a positive image in the Blazers' eyes, I felt that Invisigal would be a small stop on the Z-Team's path to success.

It's obvious in retrospect that Invisigal would be a more crucial player in the story of Dispatchgiven that she is voiced by the illustrious Laura Bailey. But with Dispatch Offering myself only a short window to react and make my decision, I panicked and went with my gut, which told me to rebuke Invisigal to better the Z-Team. As Invisigal's crush on Robert becomes apparent in the following episodes, I suddenly realized that I was unaware of the signs present in Dispatch Section 2.

I Feel Like My Obliviousness ruined my chances with Invisigal in future dispatch episodes

Although by this point I was pretty thoroughly committed to romancing the Blonde Blazer, I still felt guilty about how I had treated Invisigal thus far, especially after I had successfully helped her capture Lightningstruck. I got what I wanted in the form of a more competent team, but I felt it came at the cost of rejecting a potential romantic option. After I chose to cut Sonar in Episode 3's finale, I began to wonder if I needed to rethink my strict, no-nonsense approach.

My last choice in Dispatch Episode 4 stung even more after how I treated Invisigal, and I wish I could undo it

After telling Invisigal to make her own destiny rather than pester her further, I expected that to be the end of my guilt for how I had mistreated her. That wasn't the case, as the end of episode 4 hit me with the impossible choice: go to dinner with Blonde Blazer or see a movie with Invisigal. I felt this was the central choice for Dispatchs potential romantic paths, but I was already committed to Blazer. Rejecting Invisigal after feeling like I'd turned a corner with her hurt even more than any previous choice I'd made, and if I could do it all over again, I'd be sure to treat Invisigal with more grace than I did in the first place.
