Choosing whether to be a hero or betray your values in The Outer Worlds 2 is the most significant decision at the climax of the Golden Ridge region. Whilst pursuing Seer Wiley and his Order fanatics through the twisting corridors of Alexandra Monastery, you'll come face-to-face with an elaborate and sadistic quandary the seer has prepared for you.
On the one hand, you can save the hostages by completing an elaborate puzzle, but it'll give Wiley more time to accomplish his objectives. On the other hand, you can leave the hostages to their fate—getting squished by a pneumatic press—but you'll reach Wiley faster and might be able to throw a spanner in his schemes.
