The Information and The Package
Long episode discussing The Information, The Package, Lizzies bar, and Braindances....
The life paths have converged and now we start our first day in the life of a Night City merc. In this episode we cover the first half of the prologue as we discuss the first three main missions: The Rescue, The Ripperdoc, and The Ride. Before that, however, we need to revist the Corpo opener. Jaa has played through it and feels Bob missed a few things.
The game gives us a double dose of tutorial as we work with T-Bug in a training construct, and then get to put it to use as we save a kidnapping victim. We also get our first taste of how different choices can effect outcome. We meet our first Ripper doc to help fix a glitch in our system and get upgraded cyberware up to meet with the best fixer in the city: Dexter Deshaun. We’re making our way to the big leagues, as Jackie likes to say.
