Dex or Evelyn?

Who would you choose?

[egg fu]

choose to side with? probably dex. evelyn came off as a slimy backstabbing opportunist, especially when she suggested that V cut dex out of the deal.

[Σᖴᖴᒪᑘ᙭]

I sided with Dex, because V's word is everything (regardless of knowing how the decision goes).

[Alun1]

moot point, you are forced to side with dex, he still stiffs you on payment.

[whatdoesthisbuttondo?]

Should probably post this in the story discussions subforum...

I tried to role play as someone who kept my options open, and didn't fully commit to a side until I knew more. Then everything went straight to Hell.

Dex? Evelyn? Neither. It's like choosing if you want to be eaten by a lion or a tiger.

If you mean do I tell Dex about Evelyn trying to cut him out then I tell him every time.

I chose Evelyn, because I could tell which way the wind was blowing from the start.
After the initial convo about him with Welles, and speaking with Dex in the car, and T-Bug at the meeting, I could see just what kinda guy he was and to definitely not trust him by his word. Not only that, after our partner died and we meet Dex at the hotel, his bodyguard is acting suspiciously, so I knew something was up, and it just reinforced my profile of Dex as a 'only looks out for #1 kinda guy'.

Personally I wouldn't have gone to meet Dex in the Hotel, I tried everything to escape that alleyway, but it's not an option, they even turn off your double jump and disable your guns and grenades. I would have left town.

i dont really like evelyn. shes that dubious vixen that wants to manipulate those around her except maybe judy. dex is pretty much the same but instead of being a femme fatale hes a pimp with connections and a cunning mind. both are real pieces of ♥♥♥♥ regarding their personality and would do anything to get what they want.

and i think the game makes a point out of this. both are people that went for that jackpot and they lost everything. they thought they could outsmart everybody and lost against the city.

Seeing how Vic warns you about Dex's rep for killing his lackeys, I would go with Evelyn

[Super Cosmic Space Magnet]

choose for what

[⭐️Good⭐️Game⭐]

Dex isn't any better since he you know. what he do to you at the end but Evelyn help you the most when things get out of hand.

Dex 100% planned on dipping out and leaving the boys high and dry. When the heat was on, he was planning on running away and ditching EVERYONE.
Don't forget he'd been chased out of Night City before because he was a sleeze.

Evelyn isn't much better, but she's just a schemer. She might stab me in the back plan wise, but she won't actually stab me in the back like dex would.

[captclaw]

Evelyn, because Dex never came off as trust worthy. And Evelyn wanted out, i got the impression that she wanted to get the heck out of NC and have a better life.

There's also the option to not commit to Evelyn, reserve judgement, and keep quiet about it with Dex. As someone else mentioned he has a reputation for screwing over his mercs, and the fact that he ghosted for 2 years pretty much tells you he plays fast and loose and only looks out for his own @$$.

That's the way I personally role played it. Just because I committed to the job didn't mean I wasn't going to have V cover his @$$ with a dodgy fixer if things went south (which they did, of course). As someone else mentioned the outcome is the same, but I felt like I stayed true to my version of V. He stayed true to the people that were open and honest with him, and kept things close to the vest with those that weren't. You can't be a legend in Night City if you don't survive long enough to earn a reputation.
