But V is in no way and manner a nobody. He is literally a problem solver. He is highly competent and determined. He has all the attributes to be someone special. And if you wanna stay meta, he is someone by the pure fact that he is a player character.
I've only met one mission with a zen master in the "park" area in the middle of the city. Is that the one you are talking about?
I fully agree that writing is bad, and if you want to kill V in the end, you should justify this way better, starting from the very beginning of plot. A good example of protagonist death and good closure - Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yeah, one of my favourite tropes is a nobody becoming somebody.
Yes, There are 3 afterwards all strewn around night city, you end with him disappearing again but leaving a special gift behind.
That's why it is bad RPG.
True, but even such men as V can be ruined by a bad luck. The game they play are too big and complex to be immune to bad luck. Not that videogame as jenre should kill protagonist that way.
Bad RPG but not half-bad visual novel in criminal drama genre, where plot is set and protagonist is pre-written and should not immerse players into his skin.
Or women, no difference)>Men
>V
That's the problem. I bought a RPG, not a novel. I have no influence on a novel plot or characters. I expect to have some in a RPG.
This.
Yes, we have been deceived and got every right to be angry.
Thanks! will make sure to look out for it.
I personally think bad luck only should be used as a mid story twist. Finishing off a character because of bad luck is just bad writing. The beauty of writing is that you can easily stear away from reality.
Both red dead titles do this quite good. Dragon age origins does it very good as well.
And this gift will adorn your apartment, which conclude its usefullness and impact on the plot). Taro cards quests also grant you with sweet useless amulet, but at least Misty hints the endings).
I doubt there are a lot of people who actually content with endings as they are. I, for myself, are just not hit by them, due to my personal views. But i would be glad to see a completely re-written endings, as most people here
Not everything needs to be some kind of spectacle, just knowing V had help in spiritual "oneness" can help boost confidence.
You know. If I was Jhonny who was gifted with V's body, i would be a psychological mess. The guilt I would feel after just looking at "my" hand would just eat me up. But then again, I don't have Jhonny's ego so he probably has no issues with the fact.
So it boils down to: "who has to keep the wreck?" and "who is allowed to live a peaceful live in cyberspace?"
It’s become a “get out of writing a meaningful ending free” card. Why spend time crafting an ending, confronting the morality of sacrificing humanity’s safety to an AI or a Corp for your own survival or wondering if you’re even still human anymore or literally anything that makes a person actually think when you can go psuedo-intellectual and just say “what if... nothing matters, we’re all insignificant, and we’re all going to die?” Amazing, truly a unique take.
Johnny looks pretty darn depressed to me. I mean, rogue chews him a new one if he takes over the body and tells him to never to return to NC. He's already guilty enough as is when he looks in the mirror. I don't expect him to survive long, or be able to sit long with what went down. Doesn't help that Johnny is now entirely alone.
My wishfull thinking about the endings:

That, and a little bonus to V's Empathy would be nice. Here is my dreams about endings, to explain why i talk about Empathy:

I wonder, why can't V and Johny both join cyberspace?
