I hate\/ love\/ hate is Sinnerman. Spoiler palooza, because there’s no way to discuss it without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Basically, Wakako winds you up and sets you off on a gig to help this guy who wants his wife’s murderer dead. Sounds reasonable, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nay. Guy wants you to drive and wants to do the murdering. Okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops, Murderer’s bodyguard kills guy. Well, fuck. Who is going to pay me now? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then Bodyguard asks you to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Murderer cut a deal with Network Lady to have his death captured on a BD, for reasons I do not care to remember. Some martyr shit. You get to accompany Bodyguard, Murderer, and Network Lady on a trip all over hell’s half acre on an apology tour, for his last meal (which is basically a Last Supper tableau), and finally for a round of hand-holding for Murderer right before Murderer asks you to literally nail him to a cross, so they can make a BD so that people can experience how Jesus felt when he was being crucified.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What. The. Everloving. Fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m as atheist as they come, and even I thought this was incredibly disrespectful. Jesus wasn’t a murderer. Jesus was betrayed and died for the sake of everyone else. Murderer’s death sentence was a direct result of his own actions, not the result of some betrayal. They are not the same, therefore their mentality in death would be dissimilar, making the entire project a narcissistic money grab on behalf of Network Lady. And the fact that they promised you a load of cash to star as executioner? Fuck that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole quest is disturbing and I hate it. However, CP2077 is set in an incredibly fucked up time, and is populated by a bunch of weirdos who get off on the suffering of others, so Sinnerman feels like a damning commentary on the fucked up mentality of the average person in that world. I hate it, but I don’t. I hate the quest, but the writing is good. I’m conflicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of people think it’s a moral dilemma, because they think you’re supposed to want to save this jackass or convince him to live instead of walking to the gallows. I have zero issue with him dying; it’s the insulting false parallel that gets me. Either way, now when I see the quest coming, I murder all three of them before they can speak. Fuck that whole quest. Guy with the dead wife wanted him dead, I want them all dead, and Wakako pays me. So they die. It’s a good\/bad quest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
