I don't know if this was mentioned before, but the giant mechs that are chilling out around Asaka port give a metric fuckton of XP. I went from 47 to 50 in about 15-30 minutes just running around murdering them all. I was going fast because Shock straight up one shots them.

It could just be a fluke because I have not tested it on a lower level character and something wonky might have been happening with my XP gain. But, I think with more testing I can say with confidence that this might be the fastest way to get XP. So, take it with a grain of salt. Unless one of you want to test it before I get off of work.

I'm one of those that don't like Panam, Her schemes are nuts and she drags her "family" into it despite risks. when they give her leadership rights they play as a "she was right all along" but it was pure loving luck and the whole situation is batshit. and when doing the Aldecaldos ending it definitely feels more fleshed out than most endings but Panam still is woefully unprepared for her situation. gently caress she fails to understand why Mitch needs to go back to help because of her personal interest in the safety of those directly in front of her. The first playthrough I stopped before the tank mission because I couldn't tolerate her insane decisions and flip flopping anger when someone even remotely challenges her ideas. She behaves like a 15 year old with only her own self interest in mind and it drove me nuts. Second playthrough I pushed through it just to see the Aldecaldos ending, but the game pretending to redeem her doesn't actually redeem her.

Every character has their flaws, but hers are as me me me as my toddler.

That's really, really sexist.

I know there is a legendary one, but I have never seen an iconic one. Not to say it does not exist somewhere in the game, but I have close to 200 hours and I have never seen an iconic one.

Judy is the type that I generally settle down with for like a 5 year relationship until they decide that I'm not good enough or not going in the direction they want. :smith:

Eitherway, stop cheating on them you monster.

Judy is the kind of woman I've dated in my life where I was so sure I wanted this right up until the moment she decides it's time for commitment at which point I get massive anxiety and have to nope the gently caress out despite getting exactly what I wanted from the get go.

Don't get me wrong the Judy romance is great and she's great, I'm just a massive commitment phobe and going the path of glory actually let me breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't understand why there isn't an option for both Johnny and V to go to the digital afterlife. This would be the easiest outcome for Alt to perform, because there wouldn't be any biological complications with the host body rejecting anything. Even if V decides not to keep the original body, it shouldn't necessarily mean that Johnny must take the body.

I guess it is because it's assumed that taking the real body is always the better choice. I suppose that you'd be able to soulkiller yourself anytime you want to be uploaded to the Net. So even if V only has 6 months to live, that's just bonus time in the real world before V has to upload. The only risk is getting flatlined before using soulkiller.

Actually, my choice would be to both uploaded myself as a backup and keep my real body by removing Silverhand. This is basically what Saburo did that prevented him from dying when Kentaro killed him. This choice probably wasn't included because it would trivialize the decision unless you don't trust Alt at all, or have a moral objection to digitizing your consciousness or something.


Alt's motives should warrant keeping both copies of Johnny and V no matter what happens in the meatworld. Her own interest in V manifests in her real world version's relationship with Johnny, and only sticks with V's plan for Arasaka Tower because she stands to benefit from Mikoshi.

There's no reason we can't go John Malkovich and do like Saburo and bodyjack young people to live forever. If Saburo can keep his namesake alive thru transferring consciousness, some form of V or Johnny can do the same. Whether that is considered the original or a copy is another matter entirely tho

This actually comes up in the Corpo ending; they explain that Saburo pulled that off because he transferred into his son, while V has no living family.

Why does he keep coming up? Just a pop character from the tabletop version or what? I googled him but lost interest when I realized he was neither a pirate, nor a man with one black hand.

I think he’s the closest person in the game to a “good guy” and is the merc equivalent of captain america.
He’s also allegedly Mike Pondsmith’s personal character that he played the game with after he created it. He’s every bit of a legend that Silverhand is but not as idealistic I guess. Basically he’s a role model for all Solos like V or Jackie.

alot of the endings explain different plot threads. corpo explains the arasaka stuff and a bunch of their plans and motivations, rogue ending explains a bunch of the johnny/alt poo poo and rogue loose ends and nomad is kinda the happy ending that fits with alot of the story beats of the game. all of the endings outside corpo and suicide give you some glimmer of hope for an actual tomorrow. its alot like the witcher 2 where you learn ceitain plot points only from different paths/endings. also both rogue and nomad endings show different parts of how badly arasaka is hosed.

Being in cutscenes where you have agency over where you look makes a crazy amount of difference to the feel of things, and way less sleazy I think. I mean sure, Panam might be hauling freight but at least the camera isn't all like 'PHWOAAAR mate look at this :fap: :fap: "

Panam struck me as a hotheaded bloodthirsty maniac, which every western RPG needs at least one of. If this were a party-based RPG she'd be the HK-47 or Morigan of the party. Can picture her constantly getting into arguments with River if they ever interacted, since he's the token paladin character.

It's funny. When I fist saw the nomad background I assumed they'd have a post-apocalyptic cowboy vibe, but then when I interacted with them they turned out to be dumb (in a fun way) Son's-of-Anarchy-style biker gangs.
