A developer on Cyberpunk 2077 made earnest remarks about some of the sci-fi RPG's shortcomings, including the shortage of homeless characters on its streets.
You mean the one where you help the suicidal PTSD cop neighbor of yours? I actually liked that one, showing how even the good people in the police are ruined by the abhorrent injustice they have to tolerate from their corporate masters.
In case you mean the river storyline, dude is just an uncle on a mission.
There’s also that cop you have to get rid of to help some corrupt cops she’s been getting in the way of.
You can either kill her, helping said corrupt cops, or warn her to leave town, thus helping her (to stay alive, at least, though obviously not to do her job).
Either way you’re helping cops, but the NCPD looks like trash (which can also be said for River’s storyline), so there’s that, at least.
If the NCPD wants to pay me for my trouble, fair enough, been paid by far worse, though I’d probably be doing it for free anyway, especially scavs, wraiths, tigers, Biotechnica, and scavs. The rest are mainly just gonks, so I usually just beat 'em up instead of slicing and dicing them.
I don’t think your game is cyberpunk if it doesn’t touch upon income or class inequality. Otherwise it’s just a cyber game without the punk
Would love if it made it possible to do all the content without helping cops 😑

Ya, but that cringy-ass asking you out/kiss move on the water tower after dinner with his family was just awful.
Agreed. I also wish there had been an “I have a girlfriend” option earlier in the relationships that could just skip any later advances.
No i mean literally all of the ncpd gigs 😂 i don’t mind helping out that guy, he’s not a cop anymore
Eh, I see those as cleaning my town.

But you don’t have to do those. I basically only ever do them by accident.
Yeah but it’d be nice to be able to have that kind of content available without it being tied to cops is all
