Replaying the game after a couple years and just finished the questline.
This was genuinely the most pointless quest of all time and it’s all Claire’s fault. Now I don’t hate Claire, I think she’s just a character who let her grief cloud her logic, which is fair. Do I think Sampson deserved to die? No, and I said this to Claire after finding out the truth but she shot him anyway, but I’m a merc so I don’t really care.
But if you just wanted him dead, WHY WOULD YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH THESE FUCKASS RACES??? This bitch is a bartender at the Afterlife, knows better than most people how the merc game works, and knows that V is a merc. Why would you not just ring V and say ‘This corpo killed my husband I want him dead’?? And to those who’d say ‘she wanted to kill him herself’ she could have just tagged along for the hit like that one dude did in the Wakako job. Why lie to a merc who does not give a shit about killing by making him think this race is for honourable reasons?
If she’d have just said from the start ‘I want him dead’ I would have been in his apartment that night with a Liberty pointed against his skull while he slept. But no, instead she decides to waste everyone’s time with this bullshit quest.
