Effects of player's actions[]
If the Chosen One gets Hoss to back down, Dusty will provide them with drinks on the house. Tandi will also be impressed and state that she may have a job for them.[3]
Other interactions[]
The Chosen One can either ignore him (-5 Karma) or accept his challenge, where, upon landing the first successful hit, Hoss' spirit breaks and he yields faster than one could think. Pulling a gun on him also freaks him out, and will not draw attention from the police.
