    Edit 2: Fixed it!



  • I really enjoyed Cyberpunk, but I dont think it did enough to make me hate corporations. I wanted to see them activily being terrible, but you mostly just hear about how bad they are and idk, they just weren’t portrayed as villianously as I think the game wanted them to be. Adam Smasher was the only enemy that I like really wanted to get my hands on, and even that was because of Edgerunners.

    I did start to notice things during gameplay, like how there arent any animals, save for a few cats, no birds, nothing like that.

    Now when I finally to the dive into the tabletop lore, that was when I found all the henious shit that I wanted to. Multiple corporate wars, purposly getting people addicted to cyberware, overthrowing governments (hey Ive seen this one!) And all sort of just vile disgusting actions that make you want to be Johnny Silverhand. Actually made me sad we didnt blow up Arasaka HQ again. Or Millitech for that matter, theyre actually kind of worse imo.













  • I think it takes a certain kind of person who can put up with snarky comments and act extremely aggressively towards people. Like my character! I made my classic Neutral Tiefling Fighter I play in tabletop, who doesn’t give a shit what others believe, thinks violence is the second option if the first one fails, likes killing and fighting, tries to respect other cultures (most of the time,) and hates slavery. I tend to get strange looks at my table when I say, “Not saying we should, but we could just kill him,” in regards to the innocent guards protecting a prison. Karlach is like my second best friend ingame, and she’s like a good version of my character.

    Anyway, Lae’zel respects that if my character doesn’t like someone, I’m cutting off their head then and there. My character also tends to be brutally honest with people, and she enjoys that. You can have her like you without being evil, I still helped the grove and tieflings, I saved the Harpers, helped Halsin and stormed the Moonrise towers. AND I murdered dozens of her kind at her crèche and she was pretty chill with it after some stuff I won’t get into involving the parasite and Vlaakith.

    She’s my favorite character.


  • Lae’zel is my best friend. If anyone makes her sad, I will kill them.

    Additionally, my favorite i interaction with her involved freeing the Drow Nere, who I then talked to. I was like, “Nere, you use slaves, thats terrible,” and I saw a little ‘Lae’zel disapproves’ box. Nere was mouthy, then I responded, “You don’t understand. You aren’t leaving here alive.” I then saw ‘Lae’zel approves’ immediately after. Best natural interaction ingame I’ve had.

    Her trust bar is maxed out for me because if bad people give me shit, I tend to murder them enthusiastically, and when good people give me shit, I ignore them and tell them to go screw themselves. And hey, she’s gone from evil crazed zealot to less-evil skeptic that loves me. She’s my bestie 💓
