We're the worst person in the whole game.

[Running With Razors]

A junkie kills our brother.


From that moment on, Steve becomes an unfeeling sociopath whose sole goal in his life is to avenge his brother by stacking up more bodies than John Wick in his three movies put together.
I'm not here to discuss the plot, we all have our opinion on that. I personally find it lame and predictable but the gameplay alone is what sells the game (and that's what makes it great).

In my opinion, Steve is arguably the worst person in the game.
Opinions?

I haven't finished the game yet, but as far as wanting to kill the degenerates who killed his brother goes, what else is there to be done? Get counselling and move on while his brother's killers persist in their way of life? Go on to meet and embrace them and tell them he understands them?

Steve is young, fit, aggressive and capable of doing it; he actually cared about his brother and his brother was like him. Steve would have betrayed his and his brother's nature had he not acted as he chose to.

Steve is alright. Maybe not the brightest sort, since he and his brother went to drink and take walks in what seems like a fairly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ place, but killing the junkies? That's a rational, productive course of action that actively improves his world.

[Snark]

Steve is literally Hitler 2.0

no more nu-sincerity, killing bad people is good

well you're still in the beginning, but have you considered how many random neighbors and bystanders you've murdered for being adjacent to people barely involved in your brother's murder?

[CHOO CHOO]

That's up to the player though. If you want to kill random hoodlums you can, but the game does bot force you to.

Are you telling me that shooting someone in the back of the head while they're watching TV at home for the crime of being neighbours with a criminal is wrong?

[A_Clever_Monocle]

Its a world of black and grey morality, the cops don't care so Steve decides to take matters into his own hands and gets contacted by someone who has goals that aligns with his but doesn't want to stick his neck out, the accomplice is an enabler for Steve, everyone he kills is simply a means to an end. one could even argue that Steve wouldn't need to do this if the cops weren't corrupt as the story implies. its not vigilante justice its a personal vendetta nothing more nothing less. the methods used are ultimately up to the player.

Gameplay-wise the neighbors and bystanders adjacent to the targets you kill (Ex. the glasses guy) are all armed and hostile, and shoot you on sight (and also occasionally call you homophobic slurs to insult your manhood)

So I feel pretty justified in shooting them in the back while they watch TV. I don't know how all these random crackheads all manage to afford guns and ammo that easily, though.

[CHOO CHOO]

Well, they might just be a highly alert neighborhood watch.

Someone should make a mod where you play as Judge Dredd

[SmugSeaDad]

Justice=/=Evil

[Wolfsmaul-GER]

all of the junkies were armed and would have killed you if you were just a stranger strolling by their hideout. if the police was there instead of you, they would have killed all of the junkies in shootouts, you are given the option to knock most of them out

[Cinco Aznable]

Can't wait for the mod that changes most of the Junkie guns into AR-15 pistols and Hi-points. Just for that sweet, sweet LARPer vs LARPer scenario.

So?

And that cringy Keanu flick is a bad example anyway.

Retired assassin kills scumbags who stole his fancy car and killed his dog and then comes out of retirement to kill more people for money. That's something a writer would come up with during a visit to "thinking room". And yet they made it into a movie with two sequels and people love it.
