Sucks to have insufficient intelligence to save both Delamain and the rogue cars

This is the first time I'm playing the game as I finally gave it a chance after many people telling me it's not that bad anymore.

So far, I just finished The Heist story mission which suddenly made the story so interesting. However, I've been focusing on exploration and side content maybe a little too much. Delamain saved our asses after the heist, and even delivered my boy Jackie to his family. So when he asked for help, I did it right away.

I love the personalities of the rogue cars, they reminded me of Detroit: Become Human. I was hoping I could save both Delamain and them, yet seems like I spent way too many points on other stats and disregarded intelligence as it doesn't fit my playstyle. I don't even know what happens if I merge them all up. I don't want to spoil myself because I can see myself replaying this game. But it sucks that Keanu's Johnny charmed me enough to listen. I chose the rogue cars, destroyed the core.

If I could have saved them all, I would have. I wish the third option wasn't blocked by a stat prerequisite.

Rest in peace, Delamain.
