Its a good idea, they mention every day in this game how bad night city is, V could run the city as a mayor. I mean they also had side missions with Mr and Mrs paralez where V found out about the shits happen in the politics their. Buuuut maybe this everything in the second or third expansion(dlc). Since V has 6 months to live, it wouldnt make sense to Start something in this area, they should go first With the cure and the relationship With panam/Judy then they can come back to the City to finish Business and go deep in the Dirty poltics….
That sounds like an unexpected turn of events could land V in an unsuspecting TV show where V would get all the attention and accept to run as a candidate...Besides, I wonder who would vote for V, a simple totally unknown merc, who earn money by accepting contracts from Fixers (more or less lawful), maybe researched by Arasaka/Militech (if you help Royce) and also unofficialy inplied in Saburo death.
Sound quite unlikely even if V was in good health
Nah, V doesn't know that at the time.
That's not a reason.
Its cyberpunk politics, a bullet seems more plausible...just look how arasaka family handles a change of chairman of the board.
So let's imagine, I see a young guy/girl on TV :
I don't think becoming a mayor would.
Yupp, out of the blue. V. One TV show changed it all. And V just happens to be liked by the people of the NC, "and that is all that couts, if you believe your Stan. We'll vote for you, V!"So let's imagine, I see a young guy/girl on TV :
- Who was totally unknow few days/hours ago.
- Who is certainly implied in some very suspicious cases like the murder of the president of the biggest corporation in the world (even though he/she is innocent)
- Who has no funding.
- Who has no campaign program.
- Who presents him/herself like that, as a candidate for mayor on a whim.
- Who come from to the Badlands or to the bottom of the city or simply banned by his/her Corporation.
And with that, I'm like "great, I'm going to vote for him/her, that's a great idea !"
Knowing that one must surely have supports (financial, influential and powerful people) to be a candidate, it is not just any gonk who can claim to be a candidate for mayor. And at the last news, V does not have one.
It seem to be very unlikely, for me at least.... But yeah, that's just my point of view
That's just the language my V speaks actually. So... I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to send anyone at V more than once if at all. Else, V will be the only candidate left in the end... Remember, it's the merc who raided the Arasaka Tower single-handedly, killing most if not everyone inside, and lived to tell the tale. Those politicians would have better chances up against a couple of Adam Smashers, with a dozen of Odas joined up. I think Peralez/AI would want V out of the race, not dead.
Applying that logic, no story expansion is possible in this game around lvl 20-25(or many rpgs at top level) because you are a demigod of destruction regardless you did solo ending or not... at some point you will need to do an "act" of faith and accept the story incongruence (hello shadowrun shadows of hong kong, i did beat that demon god and you knocked me out with a police gas canister).
At this point, it doesn't look like you even follow, or are at the slightest able/willing to follow what I am saying. And that is the first step if you want to talk about "my logic" (how rude). Nvm. I think you just don't see your V as running for Mayor, and players like you should have the choice to never go down that path.
I would say, that its not just me who doesn´t see it. But since its your post and idea and i don´t want to summon moderation, I just unwatched the thread to don´t disturb anymore.
From my side I apologize too. I respect your suggestion and your wish to have it in the game.
