Her biosculpting was undone by Scavengers? Was this in the last few updates? I thought the discussion with Ripperdocs was about her not having fixed her eyes and stuff for a bet, if I recall. Also, wouldn't Scavs have caused all sort of damage when ripping out the sockets etc that allow her to use a Deck in the first place?
...yeah, you're right, not concluding that our Taylor is a fucking pod person is a plot hole if they have access to that evidence.
Wait, do they know that? Because you're right that's the one big flag.
I don't think this point was ever addressed further.
I think you're making assumptions there, he says he's a full borg yes, and that Adam smasher is another example of a Full Borg. But nowhere in the text does it say that he's on Smasher's level, even if he himself believed that he's an equal to Smasher, well, so did many others that are now dead. Note that full borg conversions aren't that rare in Cyberpunk, it's rare for them to be able to function well, but they still should exist, it makes sense that in billions there would be more than just Smasher that can do a full conversion.
In several "timelines", V/Johnny kills Smasher, so there could be an exception to this 15ish years down the Cyberpunk timeline.
Well, there is the weird mushroom AI thing. Somehow doubt that's against orders, it's in the patent application and everything.
That's not evil, that's just developing an organic AI. Cyberpunk Shady, not "for the LOLs" Evil that we see Biotechnica do to locals in Night City. The local corp did some really evil things, just to save a few eddies or avoid local PR hits.
I'll be completely honest, corps doing that shit all blurred together in my head. Some atrocities were memorable, but you're just describing business as usual in business. Now, if the werewolf thing or the secret shadow war with extinction of species as the weapon were legit (though even the conspiracy guy says the Biotechnica suits he got drunk swear they didn't fire first on that one)...
Wait, that shit was them?
Yeah, I was usually doing stealth, but after I got seen in that asylum I just started killing instead of quickloading. Regretted nothing, especially not using grenades near where I'd stored already knocked-out guards.
Amazingly, its not a plot hole at all, because 'real Taylor went to an amazingly competent back-alley ripperdoc who doesn't keep records and had all her work removed/undone on a bet or something stupid' is the only thing that makes even a lick of sense.
I'm inclined to blame Alien Space Bats in the ROB-role, as you might suspect they've got a lot more subtle, these days, after being slapped down.
If these were based on a coronavirus, then they'd be literal idiot balls.
Isn't the smell loss thing literally brain damage?
You're thinking of an overly specific virus. Coronas are round with spiky proteins, hence the name of the category.
Ah, right, right, that's why everyone official uses its number.
