The 007 First Light painting or poster choice is an early decision in the game where James Bond is asked to choose whether to hang Lennox Monroe's martial arts movie poster or Cressida Bright's abstract painting. You're not allowed to progress until you pick one, and it can seem oddly weighted as a choice if you're still not used to the game. Below in our spoiler-free guide, I'll explain whether you should choose the poster or the painting in First Light and what it changes.
Painting or Poster choice in 007 First Light explained
Having played through 007 First Light and all of James Bond's story, we can confirm that it doesn't make a difference to the story in any way whether you pick the painting or the poster.
The only difference that we could find across the whole of 007 First Light is that whichever of the two you pick is hung up in the kitchen as your flatmates suggest, and remains there during the apartment scenes. Otherwise it doesn't seem to impact dialogue, gameplay, or the overall experience in any way that we as a team could deduce.
It's worth keeping in mind that First Light actually has a fair few choices like this, where James Bond is given options that don't significantly impact the game experience as a whole. These moments are more about fleshing out Bond's character and giving you a little leeway to play him how you want, even if it doesn't massively change the overall experience.
