Deek starts to see this in side missions where you see him lying to Tucker more often, reporting that ppl he was supposed to bring back were dead. On Tucker, whoвЂ™s Slave camp pushes Lisa into a worse scene than the one Deek found her in. The responsibility falls on the stripes giving orders. Following orders is a good way to disconnect yourself from what youвЂ™re doing, taking morality and conscience out of the equation so you can do terrible things but still sleep at night. HeвЂ™ll see the consequence of sending Lisa to TuckerвЂ™s as well. An increasingly common issue IвЂ™m seeing in open worlds.ДeekвЂ™s history with the Army plays a bigger role later where you see how rank can be used to subvert and exploit. In other words, the gameвЂ™s arguably too long. Winds up being super important but it takes a lot of the same mission to get to his sweet ending. The decompressed storytelling due to sheer mission volume makes it take some time to progress. They didnвЂ™t all believe in NeganвЂ™s ideology, but they didnвЂ™t need him as an enemy. ItвЂ™s like some of the Saviors in Walking Dead. If he doesnвЂ™t relent to his clients, he wonвЂ™t get paid and then he doesnвЂ™t eat, trade or have shelter. Part of that might be his mercenary life style. It's like DSJ is managing his anger at all times and with all people other than Boozer. He gets so frustrated at people, but then at the end suddenly calms down and relents to do whatever the other party asks of him. I also feel they really were wishy-washy with the protagonist, at least what I've experienced so far. So the text feels more lofty and less grounded in a character we're playing since we are no longer creating the story of that character ourselves. Kill the woman or let her live? No longer a choice.ДЄnd in this situations the writing isn't focused on developing a single character arc for Deacon, but on the idea that player is directing their own path. Take Boozer's shotgun or leave it with him? No longer a choice. But they started out with a branching storyline concept that wasn't as well written in all directions that many of the choices they decided to go with weren't written with just those in mind. It was obvious that they removed the player choice decisions in the game to then tell a story that they wanted to tell.
