I am terrible at roleplaying in video games, and, despite its promise of offering a truly next-gen open-world experience, has not fixed that.
I'm not sure where my struggles with roleplaying come from, whether it's the limitations of the game stifling my imagination — getting stuck in terrain or NPCs running out in front of my car definitely don't help — or whether I'm simply ill-equipped to totally embody a role, especially one that's already laid-out, such as V.
Nevertheless, like others, I find to be one of the most immersive open-world games ever made, and, so, I have little trouble believing in its world and characters, even if I'm viewing it from an outside perspective, rather than truly embracing V's.
Yet, as much as I may be terrible at roleplaying in video games, often feels like it doesn't want me to, or, at least in the way I want to.
Despite lots of marketing heavily implying the contrary, and its neon-soaked gritty Night City refuse to let me be a bad guy.
