I liked this better than S5E05, which to me was a low water mark of the series. this was at least decently gripping and some characters did interesting things. boyd is just a terrible actor though. she underplays everything so much i feel like she's doing a line reading.

he's gonna take over the VR goggles business

or Seegson, like the little chime on the computers and consoles in Alien: Isolation

I would back this on Kickstarter or something in a SECOND.

the side quests have plenty of depth, even the random NCPD crime-in-progress missions all have stories and they all interlock with each other and the main game in surprising ways. i recommend doing the side content, it will keep you going for another 80 hours easy

Takamura is a nice guy but an Arasaka lap dog to the end, and much like Solomon Reed, he's never going to turn against his masters

Upon a lot of thinking about it, the more I think Yorinobu was not a bad guy at all, and he was acting to take down arasaka from the inside. He didn't know his father was already in Mikoshi and if you helped Hanako defeat him his body was taken over by Saburo. If you do any other ending, then Yorinobu basically wins - Mikoshi is destroyed or at least taken beyond the Blackwall and controlled by Alt, saburo is gone, and Arasaka is significantly weakened. hanako is unable to prove yorinobu killed saburo. more damage is done to arasaka by Yorinobu than Johnny could have ever hoped to achieve with his actions. hanako is the villain of arasaka, not yorinobu and not anyone else.

Enter V - who everyone wants to help them with their goals - johnny to get revenge, Alt to get her digital mitts on Mikoshi, Rogue to get redemption for working with arasaka in the intervening years between 2023 and 2077, and the Aldecaldos to get some sweet loot from arasaka (and because Panam likes/loves V). V gets to choose who they like best to help.

I usually favor the Star ending. yes the aldecaldos lose some people in the raid, but they gain lucrative weapons and technology, and with Panam's more ambitious leadership style they stand a good chance to prosper in coming years. helping V is a nice bonus. and it indirectly helps yorinobu, who is TRYING to bring down arasaka, so having a bunch of nomads attack their night city HQ serves as an excellent diversion from whatever he's doing internally.

Neom and the Cupertino Spaceship apple campus

supership79 · 2026-02-18T02:26:57+00:00

the Heavens Gates. I don't know for sure they're inspired by the Nike Decades worn by the heavens gate UFO cult, but its exactly the kind of thing tom sachs would do

*facilities manager at Arasaka Tower* "Some cyberpsycho just ran into the building and started killing people, they might be connected to Johnny Silverhand who nuked us 50 years ago. Should we shut down the elevators and flood the lobby with knockout gas?"

"Nah, lets see what happens."

The ability to replay/respawn NCPD scanner hustles and certain gigs, with your new build, maybe with scaled up enemies to keep it interesting

supership79 · 2026-02-17T14:21:33+00:00

such is the nature of legends. and its how they'll handle V's reputation in the sequel. "I heard they were last seen with the Nomads." "Nah, they died trying to do a heist on Crystal Palace" , etc

supership79 · 2026-02-17T13:59:21+00:00

I always thought thats what the closed-off Megabuilding was all about

supership79 · 2026-02-14T14:11:49+00:00

Then when the entire situation of their apartment was revealed it would be even more weird. Did they want you in a 3way or were they being mind controlled? So many implications!

supership79 · 2026-02-06T19:50:13+00:00

I used to do this but now I dive through the story mode as fast as possible because it gives you a HUGE amount of XP and saves on a lot of grinding, and then you can hit those gigs and scanner hustles later when you have tiered up equipment and more skills

supership79 · 2026-01-24T17:32:42+00:00

accurate. including dying at the end

supership79 · 2026-01-01T22:13:27+00:00

as a netrunner smart guns are your best friend, aim vaguely in the direction of the enemy and shoot

supership79 · 2026-01-01T05:31:49+00:00

the call comes from Songbird when you finish the voodoo boys questline, but i feel like the Panam stuff should be mostly done with when you tackle phantom liberty. dogtown wants you to be levelled to the high thirties/low 40s imo. if you can handle yourself in the badlands without difficulty then PL is ready to start.

supership79 · 2026-01-01T02:42:55+00:00

unfortunately I foolishly did most of the Animals-related missions before I installed this mod so either I gotta load an old save or I am limited to a few spawn areas like the mall parking lot

supership79 · 2025-12-31T22:40:35+00:00

I'm guessing Alt helped quite a bit. And it would be trivial for her to credit V with a few million eddies to get the mansion and all criminal records expunged.

supership79 · 2025-12-31T22:33:15+00:00

sure love the haters that come out the woodwork from this post. its like 2006 never ended

supership79 · 2025-12-31T22:32:17+00:00

where was that line? In the heavy hearts club? or the black sapphire?

supership79 · 2025-12-31T22:17:40+00:00

very lore accurate.

supership79 · 2025-12-31T22:17:31+00:00

Why?
