I understand Placide because he is very tribalistic, You can see that from mile away.. But Claire is something else. I can’t fcking drink at AfterLife anymore becaouse of her personal reasons.

    Let’s be honest, V has killed way more people for far less. Claire may not have the best reason, but I can’t judge her for it.

    >I can’t fcking drink at AfterLife anymore becaouse of her personal reasons.

    You mean because you completely ignored her, right?

    You have two choices during the final race: follow Sampson or keep racing. If you keep racing, Claire cuts you off at the Afterlife. If you follow Sampson, you get another choice: let Claire kill him or convince her to stand down. It doesn’t matter which one you choose because both will end with Claire getting the closure that she needs after the death of Dean.

    So the only way you can’t get a drink at the Afterlife is to be a selfish arsehole and win a race that nobody cares about whilst simultaneously refusing to help a grieving woman get any form of closure. I’d say you earned it.

    Eh… I think Claire is far less of a frustration than Placide. Claire misleads you but not in a way to cause you direct harm. It’s annoying that she couldn’t just cut to the chase, and it makes you want to just stop associating with her, but placide straight up uses and tries to kill you. Twice. He’s not someone who even feels bad about doing it.

    No where near the same levels of unlikable.

    Claire and >!So Mi!< are no different, they both mislead you. Only thing is, >!Song is using your life as a carrot!<, Claire is using a cool as shit death race as a carrot.

  5. I mean I can also see where she’s coming from id Probably also be upset if my spouse died and she can be talked out of it but I think she should have been upfront with V about what she actually wanted

    Claire is ok all in all, i understand being mad at her if you didn’t get the best scenario ending, but looking at it more analytically she still tells you in time the whole killing Sampson business, and you can walk out if you’re not ok with it (personally, given the nature of the races i was ok with killing him within the boundaries of the race, which ties to the next point i’m gonna present) i think part of the frustration comes from the fact that the multiple choices you’re given are pretty misleading, since they don’t reflect what you actually end up saying, or they do that only partially.
    I’ll give her props because in the best scenario ending she ends up doing the right choice, recognizes that it was unfair to rope you into this story (she doesn’t pay you, but it’s also true that if she kills sampson she still gives you the car, which i’m pretty sure costs more than half the winnings of the race), apologizes and thanks you for being her voice of reason in that dark moment, if there was no way to convince her then yes i’d be 100% with you, but eh, she ain’t one of the people i’d call bad (ok she was but only for a specific window of time), or insufferable in CP77

    Claire definitely isn’t nearly as bad, it’s strange she doesn’t just hire you to kill the guy tho. He was actually a piece of shit anyway

    Placide tried to kill me. So what? 1000 people try to kill me every day, and honestly it’s not even him, that’s just how the VDBs do, he doesn’t know any better. Yeah, he dies like a bitch, but that’s just the principle of the thing, wasn’t personal.

    But Claire? Claire lied to me, made me do those races for nothing, made me drive her shitty truck through the desert, then cost me an awesome car because I accidentally made a slight mistake in her maze of dialogue. Fuck that bitch.

    Placide’s intent: Use V to carry out a mission, that will kill V as part of it. After all, you’re just a filthy Ranyon.

    Claires intent: Use V to get close enough to kill the person that she holds responsible for the death of her husband.

    It’s not even close.

    Placide, still the undisputed champion of Insufferable Personality and remains ranked #1 for ‘The biggest douchecanoe of Night City who deserves a beating from either Sir John Phallustiff or the BFC 9000’.

    Edit: As it is, I dont like that Claire lied to me, but it’s Night City. We get lied to 10 times before breakfast.

    I mean obviously Placide is a dick for his deception and let’s be honest he probably a racist, but Claire really should’ve understood what her and her husband signed up for plus the guy she wants dead wasn’t even that aggressive like them 2 but “boo hoo he killed my husband in self defense even though we totally pushed him to do so within agreeably terms, help me kill him.”

  11. Prepared_Noob

    Have some media literacy holy shit. Her husband, her friend, her lifeline, her number one supporter (for transitioning among other things) just died around a year ago. Ofc she’s gonna want some revenge

    More importantly you were hired by her to do whatever she wants you to do. V isn’t a liscenced therapist. Your client says shoot the mf shoot the mf

    And if your made abt her beating around the bush abt the real reason she hired you. Yes, it’s annoying, but fucking placide level?!?! Not even close.

  12. Hot_Ad8643

    could’ve just told me that she’d pay me to kill that guy and I would’ve done it in a heartbeat

  13. tcarter1102

    Claire is fine. Where’s Rachel Kasich on here?

  14. RecLuse415

    I hate placenta and the vagina boys. I completely wrecked them without even a slight conversation

  15. JohnB351234

    Nah, fuck placide and all the voodoos, 1)they killed Evelyn after *their* botched heist cause of their bullshit secretism 2) fuck the voodoos, it’s on sight 3) Claire’s story is a dime a dozen in NC, if she said from the get go this was a hit I wouldn’t have changed my decision

  16. RareSalad6573

    I’m sorry, but are we forgetting that so many characters ask you to kill someone for them?! Even Judy and Panam ask for your help to seek vengeance. They all get pissy with you if you don’t agree with them. Why does everyone hate on Claire so much for this?

  17. Nullcarmen

    If Claire just said “yo, this guy killed my husband. I want to kill him. You in?”, less people will be angry with her.

    She strings you around and then reveals that she’s pissed off that her husband died in a DEATH RACE.

    She hired V to win the race. And by damn, V will win that race.

    One tried to kills us, play it off as nothing and had a really bad attitude. Then tried killing us again. And killed Evelyn.

    The other just wanted help with revenge.
    True Claie kind of tricked us and lied about it. But id take Claire any day of the week over Placide.
