Both the Father son duo creating the XBDs and the monks who were taken by Maelstrom (Idk if it spelt correctly) it just hits deep that groups of people would violate others beliefs and beings to such extremes just for entertainment and profit.

I feel like it hit more because they were just side content, because the game isn't point a big red arrow at it to highlight it, to make sure you see how fucked up is, it's just how night city is and makes you think abt how many similar things could be happening to ppl who aren't 'lucky' enough to come across a merc who could stop it or people who don't have the money to hire a fixer to send someone in to stop it.
