Status Notifications

Officer Status Screen

Faction officer screen showing health and conditions, which reveals Louis is Paralyzed and Bound.

Story so far

When Louis stops answering, Carl pulls up the officer status screen. Louis is still at full health, which is a relief — but he has two status notifications attached. Carl clicks over and drills down: Paralyzed, and Bound.

It is the only way anyone learns Louis is captive rather than dead, and it's what sends Samantha into The Reaver Castle to look for him.

The diagnostic tool that turns a silent officer into a rescue mission.
