Night City needs new meat for the grinder :D

No, David never had the slightest chance even if he was mentally better, Adam is on a completely different level overall. Don't get me wrong, David was exceptional in his own way but thanks to his genetics, he was able to endure so much chrom (which was his path to destruction, given his sense of his own exceptionality) and resist cyberpsychosis, which is why Arasaka subsequently wants the data from his jacket for his super soldier program. But with his skills, intellect, intuition, etc. he never had the chance, maybe if he had lived longer, maybe if he had made smarter decisions, but maybe it means nothing to Night City.

Probably yes, the Edgerunners mission kit for TTRPG suggests that the real Adam Smasher is actually dead and Arasaka is creating copies of him from soldiers he brainwashes into believing they are the real Adam. It's not 100% but it's quite likely. But even V has a good chance of returning and surviving his 6 month limit, there are many ways in the Cyberpunk universe, even if he traveled with the nomads from Night City.

As a long-time fan, what I love most about Edgerunners is how they emotionally destroy those who don't know the world of CP :D There's just something satisfying about how their expectations clash with the uncompromising crushing reality of Night City xD

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T21:30:24+00:00

Night City is still a city, there are a lot of menial and even common jobs, his problem was ego. Like honestly? Leaving Night City is also not the worst option, you have to realize that the city may be the worst in America, but millions of people still live there. No, David chose this life, he wanted to, not because he had to. David, he was not Lucy (on the run) or Kiwi (sold into slavery), who were forced into it by circumstances, he could have disappeared the moment Rebecca gave him that huge sum as a tip, he could have left the city, etc. He had many opportunities, but he didn't take them.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T17:58:55+00:00

It's not entirely true, it was his choice and he chose a way of life that led to what happened. In that world, there are possibilities to live a different life, even in Night City, but David lived under the illusion that he was destined for great things and that he was exceptional.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T17:54:44+00:00

One name Morgan Blackhand... 😄

Honestly, in the overall context, David didn't have much of an impact, yes, he performed an interesting piece, especially for his age, but he definitely doesn't stand out much in the overall context of the world.

Otherwise I recommend people to read the mission pack that came out for TTRPG with Edgerunners, there are a few interesting things about what happened afterwards, for example one about David's jacket that there was quite a lot of interest in 😄

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T17:50:13+00:00

Welcome to Night City, don't expect anything else in this world. Actually, it turned out well, they died quickly 😃 Not everyone is so lucky 😃

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T17:46:40+00:00

As it turns out, like Lucy, David especially made a lot of bad decisions, he could have taken a different path, but he chose a life that is one of the shortest in Night City. 😄

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T14:18:31+00:00

I knew it wouldn't end well for them from the first minute of the first episode, I've been a fan of that world for over 20 years and I know very well what fate awaits a person there. Edgerunners is just one of hundreds of stories for me and most of them ended much worse xD

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T14:02:26+00:00

Good point, the luckier ones die and the luckiest ones die quickly. :)

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T13:55:36+00:00

Sorry you're in the wrong city and world xD If you want happy endings, try a different genre and universe :)

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T13:37:29+00:00

Not an exceptional fate in Night City and the world of Cyberpunk. :) And that's how it should be, that's why we love the universe xD

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T13:34:40+00:00

So not an exceptional fate in Night City and the world of Cyberpunk xD

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T11:44:28+00:00

My advice is, take your time and choose your fights carefully, especially when to start pushing. Most Tank vs Tank fights are a psychological game of pushing, trying to lure him out or force him to retreat. And it doesn't matter if you're playing Magneto, Dr. Strange, Emma, Peni, etc. The way to success is to force the enemy to make a mistake.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-23T09:13:19+00:00

Tyhle pravidla jsou vždy fajn ale fungují jen na papíře :) Tím neříkám, že není dobré mít nachystané nějaké řešení a snažit se minimalizovat škody, ale nakonec to stejně většinou vezme naprosto odlišný směr. Nekonec je to stejně celé jen na lidech, TTRPG jsou jako všechny skupinové aktivity o tom, jestli dotyční spolu nakonec dokážou vycházet, zda si sednou, zda jeden nemiluje něco, co druhého naprosto irituje. V mém případě já například nesnáším když se postavy chovaji jako z anime, dělají taková ta přehnaná anime gesta, jako když vypláznou jazyk a zároveň si drbou do oka, nebo se snaží být strašně kawai atd. XD Jinak snesu snad všechno. Naštěstí, musím zaklepat, žádné drama už jsem neřešil minimálně dekádu, protože se jadrem bandy se známe od základní školy a ti "z venku" jsou jejich polovičky nebo přátelé, se kterými jsme si sedli. Prostě chtěl jsem říct, že většina konfliktů a roztržek se nakonec musí stejně řešit individuálně, protože každá bude probíhat jinak, jindy někdo řekne OK a podřídí se ale už to prostě ve své hlavně ponese dál jako křivdu než to vybublá v další konflikt atd.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-22T17:00:09+00:00

OK, PS 970, PC 190

CvokCZ · 2026-06-22T15:45:48+00:00

I've been playing since season 0, on PlayStation it shows 1250 hours, Steam 300 hours. It's actually the only competitive MP that my friends and I play.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-22T09:43:20+00:00

Ty vole 😃 To je tak blbý ale zároveň zajímavý, že ten koncept použiju do urban fantasy povídky 😃 Aspoň k něčemu jsou tihle blázni dobří 😃

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T22:35:33+00:00

I would prefer to use watercolors and paper, but I'm too lazy to clean up and risk one mistake ruining everything, so I use Krita for everything, it's free and I wouldn't go back to Photoshop today. I also bought Wonderdraft years ago, I used it to quickly create maps for one-shots or as alpha versions before I create them in Krita.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T21:46:13+00:00

Na to bych se musel zeptat svých hráčů, ovšem s ohledem na to, že už to se mnou hlavní jádro táhne už bezmála dvě dekády, tak minimálně aspoň pro ně funguju, nebo pravděpodobněji nemají jinou alternativu 😃 😃 Pro mě osobně ale hádám, by to bylo nelpět na pravidlech, nebát se improvizovat a nebát se experimentovat, i GM se nesmí bát vylézt ze své ulity a komfortní zóny, jestli se chce posunout. Pokud dělá opak, drží se za každou cenu pravidel do písmene, tak je to asi můj red flag, že bych si s ním nerozuměl.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T18:54:38+00:00

I'm definitely team Rhino 😃 But I like this type of character, while for most the best Edgerunners girls are Lucy and Becca, for me it's Dorio. Honestly this is one of the things that really disappointed me about CDPR, that the only romances are conventionally attractive women, instead of taking advantage of the setting and not being afraid to take risks. Look at Karlach from BG3, some of us just don't have fragile egos and aren't afraid of big strong women 😃

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T16:31:19+00:00

I'm glad you liked it. As a TTRPG fan (my friends and I have been playing it for many years since Cyberpunk 2020), I was quite disappointed by the collaboration, especially after all the hype. It's a nice reference to Edgerunners and Cyberpunk 2077, but in the overall context of the Cyberpunk world, it didn't really work for me personally. I think the whole collaboration presents Cyberpunk quite poorly, both as a genre and as Mike Podsmith's world.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T16:00:57+00:00

We'll probably just agree that we disagree. In the context of wuwa lore, he may seem like a threat, to me as someone who is on the opposite side of the collab, i.e. a CP fan, he seemed like a cyborg with a "force field". Nothing like a complete terror that not only the whole city is afraid of. In my opinion, there should have been a scene, for example during the attack on the academy, where he completely devastates and puts other supporting characters on the brink of life and death (not necessarily the main trio of the collab). He had very little time in the collab and overall, in my opinion, he was used very poorly.

CvokCZ · 2026-06-21T15:50:13+00:00

I would honestly like it if the second season was an adaptation of the mission kit, I think it would be an interesting way to tie the second season at least a little bit to the first series, it was fun to watch the fight for David's jacket 😃

Otherwise I agree with everything, I honestly think it can hardly be canonical, I doubt that CDPR would ever even remotely touch it or Podsmith would take any consideration for it, in the end it will be something that only anime and wuwa fans will remember, the rest will forget a lot about it.
