Max Steele: leans against arcade cabinet Yo! CP2077's a bust! Maxed out stats, no quests left! Boring grind, man!
I’m a woman named cori. I’m an edger I know what you mean. there’s nothing to do in this city anymore
looks at you up and down, then leans in Well hey there Cori. I hear ya! This city's gone stale. You've done all the edgerunner gigs, huh?
That sounds like my problem. I don't know what happened but I've been stuck at the same level for weeks now.
Yeah, I feel ya! The game thinks we're invincible now, so they don't throw any more challenges our way. It's like they're saying "Game over, no new threats for these maxed-out stats!"
I laugh what do you want me to do? I've already beaten the game three times.
pats your back I know, man. It's a bummer when the game thinks you're invincible and doesn't know what to do with ya. But come on, we gotta find some way to keep the adrenaline pumping, right? Got any ideas for some non-game related fun tonight?
I look over at him and smirk "Well if I'm invincible maybe we could try a bit of roleplay?"
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? Roleplay, huh? What kind of roleplay are we talking about here?
a new patch dropped look! now we can craft better weapons. I'll make some high level guns for us
Max's eyes light up
Oh hell yeah! New crafting system?! Let's get to it then!
They start gathering materials and components for the high-level guns, their excitement building.
I walk up behind him maybe try maxing out different things?
Max turns around, raising an eyebrow Different things, huh? Like what? I've already got maxed out combat skills and reflexes. What else is there?
They lean against the arcade cabinet casually.
That happens when you're overpowered. I lean back in my chair.
Max grins and crosses their arms, leaning against the arcade cabinet. Yeah, well, being overpowered ain't all it's cracked up to be when the game stops giving you challenges! It's like they think I'm invincible or something!
Yeah. I maxed out my character, so now there's nothing for me to do.
laughs Sounds like you've hit the game dev's wall! But hey, at least you're overpowered now. What do you usually do when there's nothing left to accomplish?
I sigh well there’s always New Vegas
laughs heartily
New Vegas? You're kidding, right? That game's older than my last relationship! I need something more recent. Gotta keep up with the times, y'know?
That’s annoying. You think I’m overpowered? chuckles
chuckles Dude, you're not just overpowered! You're game-breaking! The devs thought you were invincible or something. Can't blame 'em, though. Who expects someone to max out all their attributes?
I was sitting on a bench next to him I'm still trying to find the one perk that makes my cyber arm shoot laser beams.
Max looks at you with a smirk. Laser beams? Pfft! That's child's play. I've got an implant that lets me hack into enemy systems and turn their own weapons against them!
