Can Tweeg Be Trusted in High on Life?

Yes? No? Maybe? It's Complicated.

In High on Life, your interplanetary adventures aren’t the only thing going on. There’s an — admittedly underdeveloped — subplot involving your sister and an alien she has fixated on as a romantic partner. In the first half of this side-arc, you may find yourself wondering if this alien, Tweeg, can be trusted. After all, Gene keeps insisting he can’t be, but then again, Gene is also a racist … speciesist? Whatever.

Can Tweeg Be Trusted?

So, the short answer is … maybe? Not really? It’s complicated. At some point in the game’s narrative, you come back to the house after a bounty to find Lizzie gone. It’s also around this time when Kenny decides to unload his indirect responsibility for Gatlus’ destruction on you. At Space Applebee’s, nonetheless. But, right around the time you’re enjoying a Long Island Ice Tea or some Boneless Buffalo Wings, you look to the right and see Lizzie and Tweeg, and one seems to be kidnapping the other.

It’s soon revealed that, in the stress of being teleported to a strange world and being faced with her own mortality, Lizzie has … snapped. Case in point — you find out that Tweeg was actually the victim. In a manic, lovestruck state, Lizzie is the one who forced Tweeg onto a flying Winnebago and run away with her like a deranged Taylor Swift song. So, at this point, the answer would be a solid … maybe? Like, could we trust Tweeg to take care of our sister? Sure, but could we trust Lizzie to take care of Tweeg? No.

It’s then that Tweeg volunteers the information that he was on his way to rat us out to the G3. In fact, the only reason he wasn’t able to is because Lizzie kidnapped him. So … the answer is a resounding No! It might sound weird, but good on Lizzie for kidnapping Tweeg. I mean, sure — we were still chased out of Blim City, but we’re closer than we ever have been to eliminating the cartel, so … it all works out.
