Im no talking about giving V more time im talking about the game saying you have mere weeks left then proceeds to get you to wait literal months to hatch a egg, how it expects you in mere weeks to solve nigh every problem in night city and then when you do it basically says cheers now fuck off an die what you did is pointless but here just one more gig??
Vik saying "You have mere weeks" makes everything pointless apart from trying to get something to fix V, after being told that then having to wait 2 MONTHS for a stupid egg to hatch is hilariously stupid, that 1 line adds urgency to the narrative, it tells the player to move there arse not waste time waiting on eggs to hatch or hop skip and jump solving everyones problem but your own, that 1 line sets the tone for the rest of the game, a tone heightened every time V has a attack.
As is following the main story leaves no room to divert from it, diverting from it leaves only room to ignore the main story because you only have "mere weeks"
Simply having Vik say " I don't know how long, but not long" changes alot, it lets progressing the main story dictate how long V has instead of out right being told how long, it allows you to mess about without the thought of mere weeks to the simple thought of no idea how long but im going out best i can.
If you cant see the difference or easily ignore it then thats fine, good on you, personally as i've said before having more content released in the form of free update/dlc or expansions set in this windowed timeframe, AS IS, makes zero sense if it doesn't address these issues
Edit: You also saying 10 weeks can equal mere weeks is tbh silly, 10 weeks has went from mere weeks to mere months then, hence how things are said in the narrative matter, if they wanted to give V months then the narrative should've said months not weeks, im pretty sure "mere weeks" means less than a month to the vast majority
