How to Collect Dieter Maliki's Debt in Starfield: Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide

Embark on a journey through the Settled Systems as a debt collector for GalBank in Starfield. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the "Due in Full" mission, focusing on locating Dieter Maliki, one of the debtors, and the various ways to resolve the situation. This mission is issued by Landry Hollifeld at the GalBank branch in the Commercial District of New Atlantis.

Starting the "Due in Full" Mission

To begin, travel to the Commercial District of New Atlantis and enter the GalBank building. Find Landry Hollifeld, the receptionist, and speak with him. He will task you with collecting delinquent debt from a customer who has fled the planet, emphasizing the importance of resolving the situation as non-violently as possible.

Locating Dieter Maliki

Dieter Maliki's location is randomly generated for each playthrough, adding an element of exploration to the mission.

Activate the Quest: Set the "Due in Full" quest as active in your mission log.
Follow the Objective Marker: Open your Star Map and travel to the planet indicated by the objective marker. This planet will vary from game to game.
Land at the Military Outpost: Upon arriving at the designated planet, locate and land at the Military Outpost.

Confronting Dieter Maliki

After landing, exit your ship and proceed to the Military Post. Head inside to confront Dieter Maliki about his outstanding debt.

Dialogue Options and Outcomes

When you speak with Dieter, he will initially tell you to leave. You'll be presented with three options:

Persuade him to hand over the money: Attempt to convince Dieter to pay his debt.
Ask him for credits and tell the bank he was dead: Attempt to bribe Dieter and lie to GalBank.
Attack him: Engage Dieter in combat.

Persuasion

Choosing the persuasion option initiates a persuasion check. Succeeding in this check results in the most favorable outcome.

Success: Dieter will relinquish the owed money, allowing you to complete the mission peacefully.
Failure: Dieter will become hostile and attack you.

A good tip would be to stick with the same type of Persuade lines.

Extortion

If you attempt to extort him, Dieter will become immediately hostile and attack you.

Combat

If you fail the persuasion check or choose to attack him directly, you will have to fight Dieter.

Defeating Dieter: You can obtain the debt from his body. However, Landry will not be pleased with the violent outcome.

Reporting Back to Landry

Once you have dealt with Dieter Maliki, return to New Atlantis and head back to GalBank in the Commercial District. Speak with Landry Hollifeld to report the results of your mission.

Successful Persuasion: Landry will be pleased that you resolved the situation peacefully.
Combat: Landry will be displeased that you resorted to violence, although you will still receive a finder's fee.

Additional "Due in Full" Missions

After completing the initial quest, you can speak to Landry again to receive additional "Due in Full" missions, each with a different debtor to track down.

Delinquent Spacer

The next target would be a Delinquent Spacer Ship. Similar to Dieter Maliki, the location will be random as well. Once you've located the ship, it will fire at you immediately.

Delinquent CEO

The third person that owes money is a Delinquent CEO who has taken shelter deep within a facility (on a random planet again). Go inside the complex and fight your way through hordes of Crimson Fleet pirates until you reach the lower levels.

Delinquent Mercenary

The last person that you'll need to hunt down is a Delinquent Mercenary.

Combat: You can kill him on the spot and get the debt from his body, which will result in a lower credit reward.
Show mercy: You can spare his life by paying 10000 credits, which will result in you receiving the Solace pistol.

After hearing from the old Mercenary, the good ending would be to show him mercy and pay off his remaining debt.

Rewards

Completing the "Due in Full" mission will reward you with credits. The amount of credits you receive will depend on how you resolve the situation with the debtor.
