So we're supposed to fall in love with Gobbet, right?

[Holly King]

Anybody else? Just me? Guess I'll commission just the one dakimakura, then.

[noobcommando]

my cybered ork samurai is totally into her however she just doesnt care :(

[Clown Reemus]

I hoped there would be a romance line, but well, sci-fi.

[Cutlass Jack]

Be sure to stuff the dakimakura with old food so it smells right.

[lex machina]

What a tasteless thread. And getting attached to a fictional character like that. I look upon thee with disdain!

I'll take one of those dakimakura.

[Oberon]

After she explained how burning down that multiplex and not getting paid was a good thing ("I got to ride in the front of a fire truck and they gave me cookies and a blanket.") I just thought "This girl is ♥♥♥♥♥♥' weird. I like her!"

[Kernest]

I did like her very much, but I kept thinking that there's something majorly wrong with her.

In her extra quest, in the floating city, she's ready to kill everyone on that thing just to be rid of the shiny object, she actually had no plans of warning people to get off until the player arrives.

That and her story about setting a building on fire just cause her gut said so, I ended up having very mixed feelings about her. Though she did admit she should re-think things when new info comes to light...

It's very easy to forget that she's barely out of her teens, and quite often acts like it. Your main team is you, who spent years in prison doing next to nothing, an ex-cop new to shadowrunning and two kids who are barely out of their teens. Compare that to DF where you were an experienced runner and also had an ex-military sniper, a super-cybered up killer and a very experienced (read: old) shaman / mage...

[Cypris Melaenis]

Well I dunno, I thought Reliable Matthew was the most charming character from HK, LOL. And from female characters, hmmm.. that's hard question, well I suppose Queen had something charming about her too, those thousand teeth.... Like Racter said with his jaw open "Magnificent. Absolutely Magnificent.".

Hey, don't forget the psychotic Russian rigger with a custom killbot and the ex-Renraku special forces ghoul.

To be fair to Gobbet, setting the building on fire -was- a good choice in terms of getting out of that mess alive. The problem was her team decided not to pay any attention to anything but themselves..

With the Shiny Object, she likely panicked, plus it may have been hard to tell who was loyal to Malvina and who could be told about her plans without tipping her off. And on her own it seems unlikely she could fight everyone who'd side with Malvina if they found out.

Yeah, but they're not *main* team so to speak, like in DF Blitz is technically optional.

Call it a good choice if you want, maybe I'm just being overly moralistic about burning down (or sinking) peoples homes and killing innocents...

Well they were on my main team.. Ahem, anyway. If you want to argue the morality of burning the place down, well.. How about the morality of taking a job to kick someone's door in, beat him up and take his stuff, Re: What Gobbet and the others were hired to do there in the first place?

Not to mention gunning down security troops just trying to do their job on every other mission..

Shadowrunners generally aren't supernice people nor do they get nice jobs.

[floccinaucinihilipilification]

She ends up in most of the art hanging out with Duncan. Perhaps he's a stand-in for you. Perhaps what Duncan says at the end of the game has an alternate meaning. Perhaps you're into young girls. Pretty sure you're an old x-con with daddy issues out of prison to solve them. Not sure those things together are quite a chick magnet combo. Just replace your heart with cyber tech and move on. She's just doesn't seem that into you.

[Kyopo Von Elsass]

a shadowrunner with morals and ethics? You'll end up in a gutter man :p

Keep in mind that gobbet grew up in a harsh environment, in shadowrun, lives aren't worth a lot, and it's even more true in slums area where gobbet grew up. Plus, she's a follower of rat, the survivor. So yeah, in our world, she'll be a criminal, but eh, she's a shadowrunner anyway.

In the sunking ship, excuse could be that she's already under small influence from the shiny thing and not thinking straight, which is why your character become a little bit concerned by the fact that Rat may or may have not be the one to give her her new magic stone.

Yeah, but there's a difference between killing corp security and civilians, and AFAIK most shadowrunners don't exactly sign up for "go to a plaza and open fire on civilians" type of missions.

There's always a difference between doing what a job needs doing, and putting actual innocent civilians in danger or doing something morally dubious. Heck, most of your team will start moralizing to you if you let Gaichu turn that poor defeated Renraku Red Samurai into a ghoul.

Fine line between setting a building on fire, particularly near the top floors, giving people time to run and for the cops to help them evacuate, and going to a plaza and suddenly starting to gun down civilians.

Gobbet didn't have many other choices for getting out of there with her skin attached, the police would likely not have looked kindly on the carnage her boss inflicted in that apartment if they were caught.

[noobcommando]
