Dex offers V a 40% cut on that route; keeping Evelyn’s plan secret still lets V negotiate, but the cited guide reports a maximum offer of 35%. The choice is mainly about role-play and the payment conversation, not a major later-story branch.
What the choice is actually about
This decision is about Evelyn Parker’s proposal to bypass Dexter DeShawn in the Relic deal—not about telling Dex what the Relic might later do to V. Evelyn raises the idea after V and Jackie meet her during The Information. V gets the chance to tell Dex or keep it quiet during The Heist. PC Gamer’s choice guide covers the dialogue outcomes, while PowerPyx’s walkthrough for The Heist places the conversation in the mission sequence.
What happens with each choice?
| V’s choice | Reported dialogue outcome | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Tell Dex about Evelyn’s offer, then ask for more | Dex commends V’s loyalty and offers a 40% cut, according to PC Gamer’s 2021 guide. | The largest stated cut in the cited guide; it is a promised share in the conversation, not confirmation of a separately verified payout. |
| Keep Evelyn’s offer secret and negotiate | Jackie can support V’s push for more money, and PC Gamer reports an offer of up to 35%. | Withholding the information does not remove the chance to negotiate, but the reported maximum is lower. |
| Consider Evelyn’s proposal during The Information | Evelyn suggests bypassing Dex, but PowerPyx notes that V is not forced to accept the proposal at that point. | Do not treat the conversation as proof of an alternate main-story route. |
Does the decision change the rest of the story?
The cited guides describe the choice as having no significant effect on the later main story. PC Gamer says later events change the circumstances around Dex’s promised cut, and Prima Games’ discussion of Evelyn’s offer likewise says the decision does not substantially alter the questline. The available guides do not establish that either dialogue choice creates a major long-term branch.
Which option should you pick?
- Choose disclosure and negotiate if you want the highest stated offer and want V to act candidly toward Dex.
- Keep quiet if withholding Evelyn’s plan fits your version of V; you can still push for a better cut with Jackie’s support.
These are dialogue outcomes, not a guarantee of money ultimately collected. If your priority is the later story rather than the role-play or bargaining scene, the cited guides give no reason to expect a major long-term difference.
