I managed to come into this thing knowing the bare minimum - bad launch, cool setting, Keanu is here somewhere. That's it.
I thought I was building a crew of companions that I would be able to switch out companions eventually (like a Fallout 4 perhaps), so I was actually kinda crushed when Jackie died. (I sent his body to his family). The whole heist and escape was fantastic, made better by having that connection to Arosaka. Once everything went to shit I thought I was going to get a timeskip or something, but then Dex started acting shifty and I just knew. Didn't make it any easier.
What I didn't expect was to then be dragged out of a landfill, still barely alive, and then DEX getting merced right there instead. That escape was also really fun. The whole start of the story is just great.
And I never would have guessed that Keanu is a dead terrorist hell bent on revenge against my former company that is locked in my brain and slowly taking over my body of all things. So much potential there.
Since then I've mostly been exploring and doing gigs and following the Judy and Evelyn strand of the story. But I think I accidentallied into the start of the DLC somehow (?) so I'm backing off of that for now.
All in all, very fun so far! Starting to get into the Tier 3 of weapons and mods so things are starting to feel more full.
