Wasteland 3 is a terrific entry in the already incredible Wasteland series, and it brings a lot of problems for the player to deal with. These issues include the harsh, ice-riddled landscape of post-apocalyptic Colorado, warring factions, dangerous enemies ranging from animalistic to mutated to robotic, and a deadly family feud. That last one is where this choice comes in. 

The game introduces you to a character known as The Patriarch, Saul Buchanan, an ageing ruler of Colorado with three exiled children. He asks you to deal with his trio of offspring, one of which being the ruthless Liberty Buchanan. You'll typically encounter this clever yet ferocious warlord in the quest "The Traitor," which can go several ways depending on the choices you've made. 

However, this specific decision comes down to killing Liberty or arresting her. 

It seems that devastated Colorado, according to player data, isn't as blood-thirsty as you'd think, given that (as per PSNProfiles) only 11.62% of players took the route of death, earning the "Give Me Liberty, Or..." trophy for choosing to finish her off. In fact, Steam has it even lower at 7.3%, with True Achievement sinking to 4%.
