After my first playthrough I said “ok next time I side with the vdb to see what changes” but then on my second playthrough, Placide was such a thundering dick head that I betrayed them again.

Knowing the vast majority of VDB is apocalyose cultists really narrows it down to wanting to dispatch them in person or remotely by Netwatch.

Netwatch are probably the old “good” corpos. After seeing what horrors the AIs can bring, I think it’s in everyone’s best interests to keep them at bay

I always side with VDB… So I can shoot Brigitte in the face myself.

Dude called me a shit rag, so I had fun killing him.

VDB are probably the all time worst group of people you encounter in the entire game.
JustSomeDudeItWas
That vdb lady was a real bitch after the ice bath mission, I usually wipe them out after that conversation.
hypnodrew
I thought I just had to earn Placide’s trust (it’s a closed society, not trusting of strangers) and NetWatch are obviously ‘the Man’, so I did everything he said, even didn’t start shit after the ranyon incident. Surely, this would lead to some interesting interactions. Then, nothing. He just disappears from the game, the VDBs are not a factor except for one mission in PL. Can’t even find Placide to right an injustice.
Second time round, roasted the lot of them.

Was kinda hoping there’d be a Haitian Creole good guy, but they were all bad guys and that sucked.

Why not both?

I only side with them so I can tell Maman Brigitte to her face I’m going to settle the score and I can shoot them all in the face! For EVELYN & for JUDY!

The VDBS are what I’d call a “literary punching bag”.
Dveralazo
Nah, because in that case I don’t get to personally dismember them.
kuchiie
i’ve played that mission so many times and everytime something different happens i love that game

First playthrough, I betrayed the Voodoo boys and Netwatch betrayed me.
Second playthough, I figured I didn’t give the Voodoo boys a fair chance. Gave them a shot, got betrayed, and wiped them all out (even though I didn’t have to.)

F netwatch and F the VDB, I let the agent die, and then slaughter all the VDB after I use them to contact Alt.
Do you know what Placide means in Haitian? Coat rack.
Great design because that’s all he’s good for. Keeping my coat warm for me.
BX_N3S
i’m not doing this for netwatch’s sake, i just maintain a “you disrespect me, i disrespect you” policy
Hawkadoodle
Called me a ranyon. Shouldn’t have called me that.
zanziTHEhero
Fuck the corporats at Netwatch. But also fuck the Voodoo Boys for frying Evie. Everyone dies in my Johnny-friendly playthrough.

I hate the way he walks. Next time you’re doing the mission where you have to follow him around Pacifica, pay attention to how he walks. It’s infuriating 😠
tommycahil1995
Just did my third playthrough and sided with them again. I did punch Placide in the face this time however.
I find them as a gang the most interesting but also the most understandable in terms of their goals and why they are terrible. A lot of the others like Maelstrom just do fucked up shit for no reason. With the VdBs at least you understand their mentality especially since they are a Haitian refugee community (and Haiti doesn’t exist anymore because of climate change)
I also don’t kill Brigette either… in my head it’s really not worth having the VdB after you if you can help it. So leaving without a fight is a better option for me.

I have such mixed feelings about Placide. He’s such a asshole to V and I won’t lie and say that killing him doesn’t warm my heart a little bit, but at the same time seeing the care he shows the people in his community makes me respect him, and the Voodoo boys as a whole.
I just can’t hate them as completely as the rest of the fandom seems to because I understand what it’s like to be part of a marginalized community and therefore don’t completely fault them for watching out for their own.
However, I think they way they treat random outsiders is despicable but not particularly unique to how other NC gangs operate.

Lowkey, I will mostly attack VDBs on sight because I can’t forgive them for trying to Zero me after I snuck through the GIM and killed Sasquatch.
JonnyF1ves
I take out net watch then betray the voodoo boys after alt when Brigette treats V like garbage.
FEARtheMooseUK
I personally find it more satisfying to not side with the netrunner and kill every single last one of placides crew myself. (If you side with netrunner, he kills a whole bunch of the voodoo boys via brain melting)
