I really liked the DLC, all options are so morally grey that it boils down to each player’s worldview.

Well, I only try all choices for getting the trophy for all endings. But I would always help Songbird out. And kill Heimdall.

This game attracts a lot of anti-authoritarian players, so they really identify with Songbird against the US. Which is ok. Those are very Cyberpunk themes.

I try to keep an open mind whenever I get told off for siding with Reed and I give them my personal and most of the time irrational reason that will only makes sense to me on why I preferred that choice narratively and I do get it because I also understand the myriad of reasons on why they sided with So Mi but can y’all chill for a sec cause I’m trying to have a civil conversation on how I played my game and I would love to discuss your game choices so I may understand your perspective on why you chose that decision

From my perspective So Mi is a character who has been lied to and taken for a ride since she was recruited, and she’s desperate to finally get out. That means stepping on toes to get an out, even if she doesn’t want to.
The NUSA on the other hand have made a habit of lying and betraying, and their true believers are no different. So Mi seeks to preserve the little life she has left, the NUSA seek to maintain power. It’s an easy choice. I didn’t think twice to put her on the shuttle even when she said she lied to us.

I personally think Songbird is a victim in what was going on. This might just be me, but I was under the impression that she was messing around with the Blackwall under orders from Myers which is how the rogue AI demons got to her. The rest is just her going through some extreme lengths just to ensure her survival. I don’t think V is really one to judge considering how many people you may have already killed by that point.

If anything, it’s absolute opposite. A lot of players complain about her lie (which isn’t even out of malice and who the hell would put their trust in a random NC merc with no set standards or morals), call her a lying b**ch, say how she is the worst, etc., but see nothing wrong when they do comparable actions in the game. The problem isn’t whether you betray Songbird back, the problem is when players who betray her start picking moral high ground, as if they’re any better, or trying to portray themselves that way. Which is definition of double standards and hypocrisy, aka “I am allowed to betray you, I am allowed to lie, kill, steal, etc., but you’re not.”

Yeah fr i saw a guy earlier today talking about how if you betray songbird you steal her only chance for a cure while V has other options. Like why would i give up the one method thats a guarantee to live for someone i met a while ago? I get she has her reasons but so do I.

Some players at the earliest opportunity:
