You dont get soulkilled but cause another corporate war, in my mind that is ten times worse.
you're coming from a corpo background, and you get specific dialogue options because of it (useless). Not to mention you can role-play as a corpo if u want.
You're still an engram, you're not really -you-, which begs the question, couldn't Alt just make an engram instead of soulkilling but then again, no explanation, doesn't even explain why "everything" is gonna be different, I feel like it's more of a placeholder so it more or less fits with every ending.. If everything changed surely they should've shown it in the ending sequences but they don't.. Not in every ending. (King of NC shows this for example imo)
In Arasaka ending V gets a surgery, chip gets removed, but still gets told that he/she dies in 6 months.
The endings are just right, grim and sad as it should be. There can be no lasting happiness in a world, ravaged by capitalism in its pure, predator form. Even the "free" nomads are still the cogs in a system, raiding caravans and smuggling goods, filling the dirty and controversial niche. And yes, carma-wise V deserved death in 6 months. Man who freely chose to make a living through violence usually meets abrupt and violent death before 30s. Part of me were agreed to leave the mortal realm and step into world of digits, if not for Panam and other people, good people. V didn't deserved their love and friendship but is still obliged to respect it.
In the end V, and player too, have to decide, does he still really believes in anything at all in this world, perpetually tormented by animal part of human nature. Friendship, love, brotherhood, family, wealth, power, glory? Or better through all this away and step into new world? Perhaps, in cyberspace, with different laws defining this world, thing could be different?

I genuinely reloaded after picking Panam because I thought they'd all die including her, what'd be the odds? In the end countless unnamed npcs die and only 3 named so I was like "Eh ok nice plot armor but atleast I don't have depression."
So this is just, you're not going to get killed but we're going to probably use you, later on, to work for us as a merc. Makes me wonder if we do still have the six months, or if they're just saying that to keep you connected to them.
It's probably one of the dlcs, it's the only kind of replayability this game offers sadly, it's literally a no-brainer dlc to make and it would make sense to have it, not to mention they confirmed it in 2019.
Post automatically merged:
Everyone in the CP world abuses and does violence/crime w/e infact corpos probably do it more often than streetkids and nomads, they even buy Maelstromm to do their shady businesses..
NG+ in game like this makes no sense, same as it would make no sense in TW3. If you begin as a fully decked out merc and getting one punched by DEX's bodyguard then, ughhh
Continuation after main story? Yes, of course, with new stuff to do, new activities, new gigs
Story-wise it wouldn't make sense, no, but I want to open a few doors, hack a few terminals that I could not during the main story to find out what info those hold and if it would've changed my POV first playthrough, not to mention it's just to wait for the next expansion/dlc or simply to experience the fixed game (when it will be).
Because one thing in games I hate is starting over all the time, it's just how I am sadly..
Violence breeds violence. And violence of corps doesn't absolve anything
Adapt your build to them then, don't play every game the same
That is what multiple playthroughs are for, experimenting with what you can come up with builds and taking different choices
Intriguing, I didn't know about the Triss update. What did they change exactly?
It's a fucked world but we have to consider 2 things:
1) It's a game, lots of people use it to escape reality which is already depressing for some of us, or can be easily, I don't want to have a void in me just because there's no "ok" (not even good, just neutral) ending and I have to wait 11 more years for cp78
2)Sure CP is basically grimdark but it doesn't lack hope, I think nomads have it pretty honestly, if you check the maps, they're hunted by corpos but they're ultimately free and they like dying as free men, I think that's the epitome of hope.
Also it doesn't excuse the fact that there's no neutral ending, like.. Sure, it's dark, depressing et.c etc., it doesn't -HAVE- to be the world is there to provide challenges and it did and challenged morals, I'm still thinking about the whole soulkilling thing and what really makes us humans.
A guy that blows up 12k people with nuclear weapon can get a second chance in almost all of the endings, yet someone like V, get's screwed by some fatso and then tries hardest to find a way to survive, deserves to die? In all 7 outcomes?
If the world is dark, doesn't mean that stories in that world needs to end in dark.
If its dark in the room, it doesn't mean that lightbulb went out, it might mean you didn't pay your fkn taxes.
i think the arasaka endign is pretty bad because you basically are being told that you were operated successfully but you still die eventhough the chip was removed and also the bad brain parts were removed. i like the touch of jonny still being in your brain but everything else is pretty bad. though i think that the war with militek is actuially stiopped yorinobu wanted to war agains militekt to unite the factions of araska but when the old one is bag they dont want a war anymore becuase it is too expensive though i might have missed soem parts. i took that ending becaus ei didnt even know that was the ending neither did i know there were other options (i didnt do the panam thing at this poinbt because i really thought i will die) and i also though about my mercenary as a cold mercenary doing everyjob no matter what as long as he gets payed. though with some exceptions as i also thought of him as loyal to his friends etc.
Yeah, but with this, you can't bring up Karma and we deserve to die when the guys we're up against are the bigger fish who've done way more damage than you ever have. So why do we deserve to die but the big bad wolf gets to live? Karma having a laugh? You can do horrible things and yet you can also be human, you can help people in dire need. You can reject gigs that are morally repulsive while doing those that rid the streets of vermin.
Corpo's butcher people for the sake of business and their own gain. Even killing innocents for the sake of 'loose ends' or 'oops, we messed up but let's just say they were smugglers anyway'.
Almost everyone in this world is corrupt in some form or fashion who actually has some sort of substance of character.
Karma doesn't give a damn and if anything you are Karma for the filth you're putting out of commission. Right down to the fact that Karma is dead, like you in the end.
