Should I Kill So Mi?

When It Makes Sense

• Good fit: You are pursuing the exclusive romance storyline with a character that only becomes available after So Mi is dead, and you are comfortable sacrificing her side content.
• Good fit: You are playing a high‑difficulty run focused on minimizing side‑quest complexity, and removing So Mi simplifies the mission chain and reduces combat risk.

When You Should Avoid It

• Warning sign: You aim for a 100% achievement or want to experience every piece of dialogue, because killing So Mi permanently locks out several quests and romance options.
• Warning sign: You are uncertain about the moral impact of the decision and prefer to keep your character’s alignment flexible for future choices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Eliminates a potentially tough combat encounter, making the associated mission easier to complete.
• Opens alternative narrative branches that are only accessible after So Mi’s death, providing a different storyline experience.

Cons

• Permanent loss of unique dialogues, side quests, and possible romance lines tied to So Mi.
• May damage your reputation with factions connected to her, leading to higher prices or denied services later in the game.

Decision Checklist

• Do I need the exclusive storyline or romance that requires So Mi to stay alive?
• Am I comfortable losing future content and potential faction benefits linked to her?
• Have I created a separate save slot so I can revert if I change my mind later?

Alternatives to Consider

If you are hesitant to kill So Mi, you can spare her and complete her side quest for additional XP and narrative depth, or use non‑lethal options such as incapacitating or negotiating to progress while keeping her alive.

Final Recommendation

Weigh your goals: if unlocking the specific post‑mortem storyline outweighs the loss of So Mi’s content, killing her can be a viable choice—just make sure you back up your save. If you value a complete playthrough or want to keep faction relationships intact, consider sparing her or using non‑lethal methods. For high‑stakes decisions that affect achievements or story outcomes, consulting fellow players or community guides can provide additional perspective.
