The whole op would have been fine except for a complication that even a great fixer couldn’t have accounted for. dex was shit but that gig was fine until Saburo decided to show up.

That’s the point. They all do.

Jackie is a real type of street dude. Nice guy, total fuckup, definitely going to get you killed or locked up eventually. But this character has pretty conclusively proven that the vast majority of people just can’t see it for some reason.
The whole thing is obviously a terrible idea from the beginning, and when Evelyn approaches you to cross Dex, I would have bailed right then if I had the option. The criminal procedural side of CDPR’s writing is not their strength.

Jackie only has it coming as much as any other edgerunner in Night City, however I find him irritating and don’t feel bad when it bites it.

Literally everyone hates on Dex and Jackie but I never see any flak for Ev who was only supposed to record a scroll and instead tried to swipe it for herself and got everyone else mixed into her bad idea.

The whole heist was a literal ship of fools, V just shits gold

That crew wasn’t ready for a gig that ambitious.
From the way it’s presented most established crews wouldn’t have touched it because there were far too many ways it could go wrong even if the crew did everything right.

Jackie’s flaw was that he was dazzled by Dex’s reputation and allowed himself to get suckered into an extremely messy business without really looking too deeply at it. T-Bug’s flaw was that she was overconfident, and though she prepped as best she could, she couldn’t quite pull it off. Dex’s flaw is that he didn’t vet Evelyn at all. If he had done his due dilligence, he would have realized he was getting in way over his head with both the VDB and Arasaka. Evelyn was too ambitious and overestimated her ability to play the VDB and walk away unscathed. As for V, they allowed themselves to be talked into a job they knew was bad from the start.
It’s a tragedy because everyone was flawed, and despite their best efforts no one walked away unscathed. However, none of them could have known Saburo would be there that day, he did not make any announcements and came to surprise Yorinobu.

Since when does trusting the wrong person equate to “having it coming”? Having it coming usually means there’s something deserved or karmic about it, not just a cause and effect.
