I don’t think your game is cyberpunk if it doesn’t touch upon income or class inequality. Otherwise it’s just a cyber game without the punk

Would love if it made it possible to do all the content without helping cops 😑

You mean the one where you help the suicidal PTSD cop neighbor of yours? I actually liked that one, showing how even the good people in the police are ruined by the abhorrent injustice they have to tolerate from their corporate masters.

In case you mean the river storyline, dude is just an uncle on a mission.

Ya, but that cringy-ass asking you out/kiss move on the water tower after dinner with his family was just awful.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Agreed. I also wish there had been an "I have a girlfriend" option earlier in the relationships that could just skip any later advances.

No i mean literally all of the ncpd gigs 😂 i don't mind helping out that guy, he's not a cop anymore

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But you don't have to do those. I basically only ever do them by accident.

[–] skulbuny@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah but it'd be nice to be able to have that kind of content available without it being tied to cops is all

Eh, I see those as cleaning my town.

If the NCPD wants to pay me for my trouble, fair enough, been paid by far worse, though I'd probably be doing it for free anyway, especially scavs, wraiths, tigers, Biotechnica, and scavs. The rest are mainly just gonks, so I usually just beat 'em up instead of slicing and dicing them.

There's also that cop you have to get rid of to help some corrupt cops she's been getting in the way of.

You can either kill her, helping said corrupt cops, or warn her to leave town, thus helping her (to stay alive, at least, though obviously not to do her job).

Either way you're helping cops, but the NCPD looks like trash (which can also be said for River's storyline), so there's that, at least.
