For me it’s a tie between Evelyn Parker and Songbird
Evelyn’s is one of the grimmest things I’ve ever experienced in a video game, but the Peralez story is pretty bleak also
Songbird and Evelyn are definitely the saddest here. Though So Mi’s case is sadder, because freedom is a luxury she can’t afford.
No matter where she goes or what she does, Myers will follow eagerly, wanting to recapture her blackwall WMD and put her through more abuse.
So Mi can find peace in death, although that is up to V to decide. If they refuse, then she’ll be lost forever. Removed from existence by the blackwall. Which makes her story more tragic for me.
I’d argue that Reed belongs there.
After learning about what happened to Evelyn, then rescuing her tortured person, personally from literal hell on earth, I think it’s safe to say for me it’s Evelyn.
Idk if I’d call the Peralez story sad as much as I would call it horrifying. Especially for Elizabeth. Imagine knowing that someone is fucking with your head like that and how powerless you are to stop it. Not even to mention the fact that they were watching your every move inside your own home.
Judy.
Clearly Brendan has the saddest story because he is an incredibly nice guy who never did anything wrong ever, and he died for *no reason*!! It’s an atrocity! I cried for six hours after I finished his quest!!

I feel like Songbird and The Peralaz’s had No Free Will so it is sad.
I think Evelyn’s story is the saddest given how it can happen, has happened, and is continuing to happen beyond fiction. It’s in line with the gigs like Back Against The Wall and Dirty Biz.
She’s no weapon of mass destruction, nor a politician. She’s one of many who had to make do with everything they had, and still weren’t rewarded for their effort to try and survive.
Evelyn to me was trying to manipulate a lot of parties to reach her ultimate goal. I really didn’t feel all that bad for her. She knows V for a couple minutes, and already tries to turn him against DeShawn. She really not a loyal person in the slightest
Skippy’s story is pretty sad.
As a parent, Mama Welles.
For those who completed game – V is the saddest.
Linking Park – In The End is hitting hard here
“I’ve tried so hard, and got so far…. but in the end, it doesn’t really matter. I had to fall, to lose it all”
I mean, what can be sadder, if not losing his friend, dying, getting your life back, just to face an imposible choice of getting suicide or chosing to let a new but the closest friend you ever had – to go?
Or let’s have a new phantom liberty ending. You wake up after 2 year coma to know that Judy/Panam are gone, like. heh.
Evelyn
Switch the Peralez’s for Reed, then we’ll have a fair discussion
Easily Evelyn. I don’t think anyone else comes close.
The one I feel most sorry for is Mama Welles. We never met her other children but she had to have loved them all equally. Morning them couldn’t have been easier. We see Jackie’s funeral.
I don’t know Songbird’s story since I haven’t bought the DLC. Peralez and Evelyn got it bad. Evelyn moreso than the politician, which is saying a lot cause they are going through a lot of change
I’m probably gonna get downvoted for this, buuut Evelyn really thought she could go behind the voodoo boys backs and sell the engrams to netwatch. And she tries to cut off dex. I wanna point out that what happens afterwards is completely horrible and wrong. She didn’t deserve it, but she made dangerous moves.
With Peralez… Politics is a dangerous game! People die. Political assassination happens. Their fate is not surprising. Truly awful, but they played the game.
Mama Welles is just some lady who wanted her kids to stay safe. She’s also still alive and has her thoughts her own to know her sons are all dead.
No one talking about V’s story? Okay, some of the side characters also have a pretty sad story, but your character also has one depressing-ass story in my opinion.
Peralez for me
Mama Welles is kind of a bitch tbh
I really don’t feel sympathy for Evelyn or Song, they both messed around and found out, using every one they could and in the end could possibly have both tried to end their lives to get out instead of facing the after effects. Morseo Song but also Ev. Mama Welles is sad but in night city, not so bad. So gotta give it to the peralezes. They seem genuinely chill but are slowly losing any idea of the life they had/have as it’s replaced with things and without V they’d have no idea. That’s shit is crazy, like if V had no idea Johnny was becoming them. But I’d say it’s more of something other than sad but that’s definitely a component there
They’re all pretty terrible but nothing compares to the actual living nightmare that was Evelyn’s final days
Easily Evelyn. It’s even worse when you think about the fact that women are meeting fates similar to hers RIGHT NOW in the real world.
All the Nomads.
Song’s existence is sadder, Evelyn’s ending is sadder.
If you spill the beans to Mr. Peralez does the quest line end?
And yet no one is talking about Crazy Dave and how he just disappeared without a trace, not knowing if he’s alive, or still rambling somewhere else. I had built a connection with Dave. Everytime his mission marker would pop up out side Misty’s I dropped everything and ran to talk to him, literally. We Will Never Forget Crazy Dave 💚
the peralez are fucking corpos, fuck them. evelyn parker was a greedy two faced bitch but she didn’t deserved what happend to her, sad. songbird is meh sad but in the end it’s all good. mama welles lost our boy jackie so i’m picking her.
