Yes you can.

If you smash it he goes to 0 loyalty, but that doesn't matter as long as you have everyone elses' vote tbh. Grimley only has four people on his side.

If you laugh it off on the first instance and then ignore the second instance, Templeton will directly intervene causing a punch up between him and Grimley.

You then get different options to deal with it and it's not brought up again tbh.

Thanks, that's very helpful! Time to do some accordeon smashing :)

I laughed it off the first time and had a chat with him the second time. He stopped and I don't remember getting any severe loyalty penalties.

first time i laught it off and nothing happened (weirdly enought the gave the archievement as if i smashed the accordeon)

second time i decided to let him , wich lead Templeton to confront Grimley. One of the options there gave me a huge boost with Grimley

I dunno what I did different this time (I neither smashed accordeon nor laughed it off), but in the end, Grimley's brother told me he will talk to him to calm him down, and there was no confrontation with Templeton. So no morality boost, but also no morality loss.

I laughed it off the first time. The second time, Templeton stepped in and I pulled Templeton back because Templeton's loyalty is easier to maintain.

this event actually made me think it was possible to get Grimley loyal and on my side, how it played out was very favorable,

i remember thinking "Templeton this is the most usefull thing that you ever did and you arent even aware of it"

Yeah I was like... amazed at how his jerkishness turned around my situation with Grimley instead of making it worse.

Laughed it off the first time, talked with him about it the second. Earnest options concerned with the wellbeing of the crew seem to be best for building his loyalty, those his was the second to last I earned (Cordell's being last).

So true and its hilarious lol

really appreciate people sharing their choices and outcomes haha -- i laughed the first time, then chose "let grimley be" and let templeton fight the second time.

esp when combined with the loyalty boost from jumping between kurt and hammond a bit later, grimley is closer to loyal than i ever believed??
