When you jump into a game from the creators of The Wolf Among Us, you know you’re signing up for a ride where every word matters. The core of this game is the Dispatch choices you make. With Episodes 1 and 2 finally out, I’ve played through them, and let me tell you, the pressure is on from the first minute. This isn’t just about picking what to say; it’s about managing relationships, your (already ruined) reputation, and even navigating some… complicated… romance.
This guide covers all the major, relationship changing choices in the first two episodes. If you’re looking for the release schedule for the full 8 episode season, check out our guide on the full scoop on all Dispatch episodes.
The Full Breakdown of Dispatch Choices
You want the info fast? I get it. Here’s the quick and dirty summary of what you need to know about the choices in Dispatch Episodes 1 and 2.
- What This Guide Is: A full walkthrough for the major decisions in Episode 1 (“Pivot”) and Episode 2 (“Onboard”).
- What Choices Matter: Most “flavor” dialogues just change the next line. The real choices are the ones that give you the Blonde Blazer will remember that notification. Those are the ones that affect relationships and story outcomes.
- Good vs. Bad: There isn’t really a “Game Over” bad choice, but you can definitely make your life harder or lock yourself out of relationships.
- Romance: Yes, there are Dispatch romance options. And yes, it’s exactly who you think it is.
What you will read here:
Dispatch Episode 1 Walkthrough
The first episode, Pivot, is a gut punch. You start as the badass hero Mecha Man, tracking down the villain Shroud. You get a taste of the good life, complete with QTEs and hacking minigames, before it all goes south. After your suit is destroyed and your career is over, you get a new job offer from Blonde Blazer. This is your full Dispatch Episode 1 Walkthrough with all the choices, in order.

Dispatch Episode 2 Walkthrough
Episode 2, “Onboard,” is your first day at the new job, and it’s a total train wreck. This is your Dispatch Episode 2 Walkthrough, and it’s all about meeting your new “team” of dysfunctional ex villains. You’ll meet Royd (the “bro fist” guy), Invisigirl (voiced by Laura Bailey and a total pain), and the rest of the crew.

Dispatch romance options
Alright, this is what everyone is here for. The main Dispatch romance options right now seem to center on one person, and she’s technically your boss.
Dispatch Blonde Blazer
Your relationship with Dispatch Blonde Blazer is the most complex one in the first two episodes. She’s the one who saves you and gives you a new life. As mentioned, you must choose KISS HER in Episode 1 to even open this possibility.
In Episode 2, you can build on this. When she takes you to the conference room, choosing I’ll take your lead increases your relationship, while We were drunk damages it.
Blonde Blazer Date
This is the big one. At the end of Episode 2, you have a private chat with her. You get the dialogue option: Do you want to grab dinner? This is the Blonde Blazer Date prompt.
If you choose it, she seems interested… and then her boyfriend, Phenomaman, walks in. It is painfully awkward. He then invites you to dinner with them. My advice? Just pick Sorry, I already ate or Gotta get home to my dog. Both increase your relationship with a very uncomfortable Blonde Blazer. Choosing Yeah, sounds fun is the worst option and makes you look like a total creep.
Dispatch best choices
So, what are the Dispatch best choices? It really depends on what you’re going for. There isn’t one “golden path” in these Telltale style games.
Dispatch game best choices (For Relationships)
The Dispatch game best choices are the ones that build trust.
- I like helping people (Ep 1, with Blazer) -> +Relationship
- I’ll take your lead (Ep 2, with Blazer) -> +Relationship
- BRO FIST (Ep 2, with Royd) -> +Relationship
- Lying for Invisigirl (Ep 2) -> +Relationship (with her, at least)
Dispatch all bad choices
The Dispatch all bad choices are the ones that make you seem like a jerk or kill the mood.
- I don’t know (Ep 1, with Blazer) -> -Relationship
- We were drunk (Ep 2, with Blazer) -> -Relationship
- Yeah, sounds fun (Ep 2, accepting the dinner with her boyfriend) -> -Relationship
That’s the full breakdown for the first two episodes. Good luck, dispatcher. You’re going to need it.
