@@ilikeceral3 There was rules for surgery requirements for cybernetics, from popping in to the equialent of a complicated piercing at a tattoo shop to a clinic with weeks of recovery. Each piece of tech in the game was assumed to come in several different models. On top of that, street tech is often repurpoused from several different bits or customized. How much Humanity Cost an implant gave you was random. A Mr. Studd would give you two six-sided dice of HC, where every ten accumulated HC loses you one Empathy. This was the same regardless of surgery. Your physical recovery does not relate to how alienated from the human condition you get. In an optional rule you could splurge for therapy to better adapt to your new, dehumanized body. The orgs who sponsor a full-body cyborg often add therapy if they can, so their enormous investment won't just turn to an uncontrollable berserker.

Well, he was void in that regard since the beginning of the story. He didn't have dreams of his own, but he actually never tried to find one. I think that the reason for that is that he always thought of himself as a nobody without possibilities... even when he said repeatedly that he was special because of the lack of Sandevistan's secondary effects, he never used those powers for his own direct benefit but for the benefit of someone else: he was a pleaser. And at the end, I think that is confirmed when Adam Smasher tells him that he could be a good Contruct, but David responded with "I don't care". Also, he was not a hero, he never cared about others, but just for the people that apparently cared about him, and even that said, he urged them to put their lives in danger... like he did with Lucy that retired from being a cyberpunk but he wanted to do heists with her. Why would he want to do that if his goal was to protect her? That's because he was very selfish. I think that David was a very interesting character but the reason for that is because he was just a tool for the story to progress. He was a chosen one for the plot's sake. He lived, progressed and died the same way as many other secondary characters. As if the moral of the story is that it doesn't matter how special you feel you are, life will be harsh and unfair for everyone without exception in Night City.

Precisely a mother who works hard for them to study, imparting in them wills that aren't days, leading them to live a life that's not their own, for the majority of their life, it is just 'cope'. Your placed in this shitty environment and you have to find a way to cope... David did everything he could with what he was presented, there was an enhancement, he could have sold it cheap but choose to implant it, choose to follow Lucy, was betrayed and choose to be of use to them and become a criminal, choose to use a gun despite his mother's teachings to survive, he did whatever he could to cope... until that became his reality. The scene with Lucy in which he says that a ticket to the moon is cheaper than he expected was a clear indication that he could have retired, but the city had already engulfed him and corrupted him, he didn't want to leave the city with Lucy (her desire), he wanted her to live that reality with him, in the end, they were just opposite sides, she wanted to leave (take him to the moon with her), he wanted to stay (be an edgerunner with her, he even said verbally that he preferred her over Kiwi). But none of the two wanted it without the other... Lucy knew she couldn't convince him to leave, so she protected him from the dark; David also stopped inviting her to participate in their crimes until he was asked to do so... they were in a stalemate of not moving forward but David was getting worse and worse and Lucy knew this but couldn't do anything, when she finally thought it was enough David was long gone and wouldn't stop using the implants. The whole shit is too tragic, in the end, the one to blame is the city, if CDPR ever makes an expansion in which you can nuke the whole damn place, I'll buy the console, game and expansion just to do that.

"You're still fighting for other people's dreams". (Not to mention he has a warped view of his mother's dream for him). But it goes for all these cyber guys. The itch to keep improving and getting more and more. Even though they know that it's not a matter of if but when, for cyberpsychosis. But David believed he was special on top of it all, too.

You feel that you're special and that you NEED to live up to everyone's expectations no matter the cost. It's something that I have personal experience with. And yeah, while I love Rebecca and support the meme of "Rebecca is the best character in all of Edgerunners".

Simon in his character arc, wanted to live up to people's expectations and worked so hard for it to the point where he couldn't fight anymore. What ended up happening is that he had an awakening where he realized, he doesn't have to live up to people's expectations of him to become the new Kamina, just fulfill his own expectations of himself and embrace himself as Simon the Digger. David is like if Simon never had that awakening of him realizing that he doesn't need to fulfill other people's expectations of him. He thought himself as someone "special", and as someone "special", you feel the need to fulfill everyone's expectations for you. He never had that awakening Simon got, and instead of listening to his body that told him he couldn't fight anymore, he just kept moving forwards, in an attempt to please Maine, his mom, and Lucy's expectations for him. And eventually, it leads to his death. And although, tragic, he did end up fulfilling everyone's wishes at the end. One is a Tragic Hero, about a man who found himself, and saved the world, but ended up losing the love of his life for it. While the other is a Heroic Tragedy, about someone "special" who got too caught up fulfilling everyone's expectations, that it ended up with his brains scattered across the pavement. But at the end of the day, both their stories ended with them smiling, one had fulfilled himself, while one had fulfilled everyone's expectations that they had for him. Both will be remembered as legends til the end of time.

@@kiril10 They might have used the formula as a basis for their story. But far from copied. It's like sharing a movie genre, but being even more closely related. Yet they're distinct stories overall.

The writers knew precisely what they were doing and why, which is the opposite of blindly copying stuff.

love how adam smasher calls it a rudimentary implant

From what I remember of 2020, the sandevistan implant didn't make you faster. It improved your Initative by +3, making you react faster than the world around you. You experience the world in slow motion, but you are not moving in super-speed apart from other objects in it. You activated it for bursts of five rounds or so. There was another model as well, kerenzikov boosters. They were a lot harder on your Humanity Cost since they were always on and you lived permanently in a weird time distortion. Their bonus was +1 or +2. On the plus side, they were always on. Both were neuralware, so you got to have a neuralware system to plug them into. And you couldn't have both kerenzikov and sandevistan, they are doing the same thing but placing the strain slightly differently. As a comparison, an experienced solo could get a skill that increased their Initiative. Solos with +5 or +7 were easily playable or encountered on the street, even +10 Initiative from pure skill and street experience existed in the world. But when solos face other solos, they value every edge they can get. Winning Initiative often determined entire firefights, you get to be just a fraction of a second faster when rolling into cover or lining up a shot on the other bloke. You could get an adrenal booster on top of those. +1 Reflexes (and therefore Initiative) a few times a day so not all that often compared to the pure neuralware.

love how the entire power of david was the singular sandevistan, while adam smasher and V from 2077 use it casually like its just another implant

By far the best choreography of showing agility levels of characters in anime I have seen

“Show them who you are, What your made of. Your special, member?”

During the chase in episode 3, and judging by all the fast moves David made and us seeing him use it, my best guess is that he used his Sandevistan 15 times. At that with the times before and after the chase, David used it 17 times, which is almost 6 times more than what his ripperdoc's recommended limit.

Rebecca: Don't even think about using your Sandevis-ttttttaaaaaannnnn...

You'd probably break someone's bones just grabbing them from a standstill and moving them this fast. The whiplash.
