If there wasn’t such a strong incentive in the system to become wealthy, V possibly wouldn’t ever try to get into problematic situations like the Konpeki heist.
Night City is known as the city of dreams because it offers the rich and powerful all the comforts money can buy, and a quick way there is merc work. If you don’t have money, you’re less than nothing.
The game does go out of its way to attenuate or neuter a revolutionary message every chance it gets. Hell, V recognizes the problems with unfettered capitalism (conversation with Takemura outside Arasaka warehouses), but defends the status quo every chance they get (convo between johnny and V in Pacifica after Placide). The game always defaults to implying the system is fine for most people.
Not like he is literally dying because of the system. I wish I could play V as a fledgling socialist, honestly.
Perhaps the wild shape could come from a cursed Ushanka. Otherwise, Warlock/Druid would be hella MAD.
Solo: Baldur’s Gate 3 in Honour mode, goddamn, it’s tough. Also, CK3, doing a hellenic socotra run and it’s been close to being over so many times. Was playing Skyrim but bethesda updated the .exe and I don’t even want to know what broke and what didnt.
MP: Baldur’s Gate 3 with friends, Squad, and Hunt: Showdown.
