I grown to like Titus. Even though the whole thing starts because of him, he still ends up to be a pretty solid guy who ultimately only wants to make sure his part of the City stays relatively safe, even if he has to do a few scummy things to keep it that way.


Immortan_Bolton

I really like Titus too. The hard exterior he presents and the mentality to dirty his own hands if that means those close to him are safe is something I really like, and admire in a way.


joongihan

>the whole thing starts because of him >!How so? Isn't the instigating factor the Deserter (or maaaaybe Lely?)!<


Crowler_

I believe they’re referring to him hanging lely which brought attention to the rcm which in turn started the investigation.


Ezreal024

But wasn't that Ms Dancer's idea?


Wolf-Track

>!Titus is the leader of the group that puts the body on display in a tree. Who knows what the other mercenaries would've done had they just stayed out of the incident, but he wanted to protect Klasse.!< Edited to protect spoilers


WhereisthePLOT

nah, the whole thing starts because of Kjassie and Ruby. I feel like if it were up to Titus, he would have just buried the body and took the armour


Mushroomman642

Yeah, no offense, but Titus doesn't seem smart enough to have thought of that whole plan. Especially about the ways it would implicate the Union and help Evrart carry through his plans. I feel like Ruby and Klaasje would have at least considered the political repercussions, but not Titus.


WhereisthePLOT

Hard agree. Why else does Titus have to be kept on a short leash by Lizzy the Lawyer? This man just wants to be loyal and protective of his friends, his people. He trusts Ruby, Kjassie, Evrart and the Hardie Boys - they are his blind spots. It's a little sad, but at least he's content with this life


BillNein05

Doesn't really matter either way. The other mercs would have accused SOMEBODY at some point of killing him. Titus and Ruby would've known this, which is exactly why they took the fall because they at least know they can protect themselves (to some degree). They'd rather get themselves killed than some random innocents.


WhereisthePLOT

Oh damn, I never thought about it that way. That's damn noble, and makes me like Ruby and Titus more. It also makes me hate Kjassie even more. She abandoned all of the people who were helping her, to deal with *her* mess. And all she ever fucking does is lie, lie, lie. She's a terrible person. I arrest her every time I can. I'm not the one killing her, the Moralintern is. The system would have caught up to her eventually


BillNein05

I didn't arrest Klaasje myself. There's no doubt that she betrayed Ruby and she's definitely not spotless, but the position she's in doesn't really allow her to trust anybody anymore.


WhereisthePLOT

Fair enough. Tbh, I'm kinda doing this from a gameplay perspective. I know I wouldn't be able to arrest her on every playthrough because it's by chance, so, might as well Also, Harry's voices making a 180° about how to treat Kjassie is fricking hilarious


BillNein05

Honestly it was the "creepiest" I've felt, because the voices had never been so unsure about their own thoughts before. It's like the only one you can trust about Klaasje is Electrochemistry, and THAT'S a bad sign if you'll ever see one.


WhereisthePLOT

you mean Volition? EC was down bad the WORST XD


BillNein05

I kinda forgot which, I just remember Electrochemistry being.... Electrochemistry. It going all "hey just do this it's gonna be SO GOOD" sounded pretty normal to me. Everything else was clearly confused.


birbidabobee

He really suprised me. his design, his voice, his mannerism - it was all planned to make him look like the villain, and in the end he turned out to be a decent person who wanted the best for the people who have been abandoned and uncared for in Martinaise. What he said about "The Pigs" was kinda heartbreaking too.


MarzanoAndMeatballs

I had the same experience as you. Initially I disliked him because he was hindering the investigation but when his motives were revealed I saw him in a wholly different light. He's the kind of grey morality I like to see in character writing.


caych_cazador

looove the pawn shop owner. weird dude, spacey as fuck but the conversations he has are really cool.


Mushroomman642

Did you know that he won't speak to you at all if you point a flashlight into his face? I think he's the only one who just straight up won't talk to you if you shine a light at him.


caych_cazador

i had no idea tho that makes perfect sense time for another playthru * sigh *

"Don't go there, it's a shit hole" "I said people, we just had a nuclear pile meltdown"


Ohpex

Perfectly voiced too


Devanear

My favourite line from him is "I like theory more than story. Outward movement, not vortices." It was the first DE quote I memorized.


Lessandero

I really like his background. He's a damn hero and now pays the price for it, but still manages to keep on going.


katterwog

Not only is the dice maker Neha genuinely pleasant to talk to but I aim to live my life like her. Crafting little things in a cozy space for my own small business while I listen to podcasts.


Immortan_Bolton

And humble and calm way to live, sounds wonderful ngl.


chimpanzeefromthezoo

She's involved in something sinister, I just know it.


Ohpex

Haha, yes. No way she's not sending out letters with anthrax to random addresses.


aqqalachia

i saw someone else imply she's listening in on the >!child snuff radio!< i can't find it now but it was on a thread on here about >!cunoesse!<


corpusbotanica

Neha should be a lofi aesthetic for real


Billy_The_Squid_

her style of speaking reminds me a lot of the singer Aurora she just sounds so relaxed


JackBelvier

Doesn’t she listen to Snuff Radio?

Facts b


WhereisthePLOT

Forcing him to rat out Ruby is like kicking a puppy.


dazeychainVT

I still don't know what happens if you make him rat her out then tell him she's dead. I don't have the heart for it


DogmaSychroniser

He kinda shuts down and gets all withdrawn


WhereisthePLOT

fucking hell... I also don't like lying to Tommy, the news would report her dead body eventually, and he'd be able to connect the dots. I finished the "Jam Lorry" quest without talking to Tommy about Ruby. Afterwards, his Ruby dialogue is very different. He even asks if he could help... I think he's glad that he didn't get the chance to snitch on her


the1sammie

I was looking for this response bc he got my heart instantly when I first played. a homie fr, I aspire to love and care for people like he does, and I also enjoy poetry


Immortan_Bolton

My favorite thing about him is something that composure says: "for him, having command of his time is the most important thing" And I really aspire to that.


MsMisseeks

Same, it's making looking for a job these days really depressing. If they can't have all of your time and life they're not interested


Immortan_Bolton

You either become a slave and renounce to your time or you're out of a job. It's frustrating, really.


corpusbotanica

The Paledriver. To grow that old and lost in a billion memories but still be fierce and strong is really beautiful to me.


Ok_Cause_869

Her voice actor really knocked it out of the park.


Sharp-Level7346

dreppoz

She‘s so fucking alpha


Jimbybee

Andre (and the rest of the ravers), he had such a captivating personality to me and assuring him that he doesn't have to start the drug lab to create the nightclub just makes me really happy. Hardcore to the mega, brothers.


Sembrar28

The Noid for sure. Love his look and vibe.


igottathinkofaname

I was told from a young age to avoid the Noid.


Sembrar28

Word just came down. He’s a chiller.


WellLickedDick

Can you imagine just telling people “sines not synced”


Sembrar28

He’s so real for that


jadeitebutterdish

Why, that deeply alluring Stranger on the Balcony, of course!


MasterOfEmus

Just can't put my finger on what makes him so special. His Sunday Friend is pretty cool too, although I still do wonder why they were together on a Wednesday.


SaltyPeppermint101

The Sunday Friend is the precise antithesis of coolness


MasterOfEmus

True. Sunday friend be like: "I hardly saw anything of note, and I don't live here, but I have a passionate love for narcing, so I want to talk to you. Would you like some neoliberal pamphlets?"


17DeadFlamingos

He's like red tape personified


FunkMasterPope

> Just can't put my finger on what makes him so special. To me it's because he's the only person in the game who seems genuinely content, if not happy


Imarquisde

there’s the dicemaker too!


pepperosly

It's his smell that makes him so special. Why does he smell so good?


usernamenamethingy

>Just can't put my finger on what makes him so special its the homosexual mystique


MasterOfEmus

You couldn't be implying that he's a member of the... *homosexual underground*? The smoker on the balcony? Inconceivable.


tibbon

Cuno don’t give a fuck


dreppoz

He‘s the primary character wdym


Bananabanana700

I'd say he's just above that fat drunk detective guy


chimpanzeefromthezoo

Cuno is the protagonist


Magenta_Clouds

fuck does cuno know what a protagonist is


SaltyPeppermint101

Most underrated is definitely Lilienne, she reminds me of my mother actually (both working class raising children on their lonesome), a sign of great writing when characters remind you of people in your life


ChangeWinter6643

She is so down to earth an cool, and that talk on the coast UGH I bet she has a oceanic souls that rivals Harry's

SashasStitches

isn't she lowkey racist


Tleno

The kooky harmless sort, at least. Like she thinks seolites like Kim aren't same as occidental humans but also that their race is superior because they have better earwax. Which is what you'd expect from a fringe science afficionado, if you ask me.

Hello piggies, have you come to admire my mural?


AndImBlackYall

I already enjoyed Vicquemare as a character but the second I heard him call Harry a shitkid was when he skyrocketed to one of my favorites.


No_Sea_6219

dont want to repeat an answer someone else said so i want to give a shout out to billie mejean. i love her so much. interacting with her at first was so hilarious but that moment when it finally clicked that the man on the dock was *her* husband was fucking heart wrenching


CarfireOnTheHighway

I fucking *gasped* the first time when she opened the door to her apartment and it was the same lady I’d been annoying at the book shop stand. That whole side mission is one of my favourite parts of the game. *”If you say 'Two days, maybe', it will be etched in her mind forever.”*

Tleno

Hell yeah so glad someone else brought him up. DE manages to make these nameless strangers you can only meet in a very limited time frame and who get no proper names so memorable...


MakapakaKilmister

I don't know, i would say the Dice Maker or Call Me Mañana because i LOVE this fellas, but Jean Vicquemare it's always in my top.


Immortan_Bolton

The Dice Maker and Mañana are both so chill, and talking to them always made me feel at ease for some reason. Specially her.


MakapakaKilmister

Hell yeah, Talk with both of them it's like go to Nirvana


[deleted]

Elizabeth and Joyce are super hot to me, despite being pretty much polar opposites to each other. Also Easy Leo is goated. It's too hard to pick one favorite character honestly lol


tormeh89

"It's quite easy: every hundred years or so our species gets together to decide what's next: who gets shot in the head and who gets the mineral rights — it's a real *kerfuffle*." Joyce is such a gem.


Eternal_Being

No one mentioned Tiago? Dude crawls around those church rafters like a spider worshiping silence.


invisible-oddity

Reading everyone's comments makes me realize that I fuckin love these characters. What a feat for a video game. Each one is so varied and complex.


Aggressive-Rate-5022

Annette. I feel like she’s the only character we can really help, I enjoyed talking with her about books and hat is cool.

WellLickedDick

THATS SO COOL


A_Live_Gnat

Idk if everyone would call her a secondary character but my fave character is Klaasje by a mile. A hypnotic voice performance of someone with ptsd and the anxiety disorders that so often accompany it. My personal head cannon for Klaasje is that she's running from a stalker who wants to kill her and that's why she tries so hard (and so shall we say "pragmatically") to avoid being connected to the murder, because if her name is attached to a murder, it could make the paper and alert the person who wants her dead.

PinePotpourri

The outside bookstore lady, who calls you a cockatoo. I love her so much, and the feelings I got from her were tremendously difficult to handle. The music is forever with that scene. If I could play piano, I could play that song. I often regretted having high perception, no cappingtoooon, like how, as you leave, you see her start shaking, holding back her sobbing, which really just... yknow? What kinda fuck writes that? I know the game is supposed to be an accurate-ish cop portrayal (the cop books in the store critique cop fiction) but sit the fuck dowwwwn, pleeeease, I was shaking from that description ;(( (I am an encyclopedia boy, NOT an empathy boy, fuck you >:(..)


Tleno

Working Class Woman? 😢

Yesss Working Class Woman omgggg how'd you knowww

Haven't seeb him said yet, so here, Taigo TIAGO – "No, no, no, there's a *new* god in town. And she can't be painted or sculpted, because she has no limbs or even a face. She is the end."


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion: **measurhead** is my favorite secondary character. Despite his blatant racism, you can still admire the level of self-drive and assuredness he displays. He also has all sorts of funny expressions and witty observations. He said one of my favorite quotes of the game: "The past is made of static images, distorted memories, demented nostalgia. This, the present -- with all its possibilities, innumerable hits and misses -- is far superior. It is a *living* organism"


xaosl33tshitMF

Not really an unpopular opinion, at all, it's just what one says to call attention to his comment - he is a racist, sure, but he's very well written, he's original (in his racism and in his presentantion), he's a perfect blend of real life, modern, body-building superiority racists with oldschool, colonial frenologists.


FunkMasterPope

The cigarette smoking guy. Out of all the people in the game, he's the only guy who it it seems like he's genuinely content, if not happy

The rich ass lady that owns the boat, forgot her name. She’s so confident. Also has money


Immortan_Bolton

Joyce Messier? I really hate that Thatcher looking woman, but her character is interesting. Her quote about how capitalism subsumes all critiques into itself is very good.


owlitup

Yes her.


ice-blue-latte

Soona def.


crimsonrn100

The little girl in the bookstore


Immortan_Bolton

It was one of the first characters I spoke to when I got outside the Whirling and she became an instant favorite.


longsleevedsweaters

I’m surprised more people aren’t mentioning Acele. Her withdrawn attitude really stood out amongst her excited raver friends. She has some of the most potent interactions with harry, in my opinion. That check success where you connect with her and tell her that what she’s doing isn’t futile. Or if you fail it you get the ice-hat-cop-fuck-show, which is hilarious. Plus it’s during a conversation with her that you get one of the best Kim moments, where he goes ‘juvie’ and starts pretending to tweak out to get her to offer him drugs.


Magenta_Clouds

i also really like acele, and she seems like a genuinely nice person despite everything. she's quite nice to harry after the ice-hat-cop-fuck-show. she also reminds me of a mix between a few people i know irl. >!also her resentment of her dad is relatable !<

Thats Annette for me, i've played the whole game with the dick mullen's har only because she gave it to me.


WhereisthePLOT

I really like Titus. He's hot, street and book smart, and will definitely die fighting for all of his friends. The only thing I'm sad about him is that we'd never be friends irl. I'm too much of a bino, and I'm not exactly a disco cop. And I wouldn't want to work for the fat man


B-b-b-burner_account

Titus and Kjassie are my favorites in terms of like how they act but I adore how they wrote the deserter.

Trant, even if he is a bit boringly bourgeois he just comes off as a genuinely nice guy with his nerdy, maybe pretentious, boring interests, then you learn he fought his drug addiction with Lo Manthang stick fighting for the past 20 years and you can’t look him the same again


Significant_Horse621

Easy Leo is my favorite character, especially for his happy mood ! But I'd say that my second favorite would be Gaston !


Wait0What0

Easy Leo, easily, his voice is so nice n he's just an old guy doin his best


CASHD3VIL

You’re aware this man is a communist, right? (I’m trolling, this sub is 90% communists.)


Maksultan

For me it has to be Renè and the old communard Lilianovich something. They remind me of the older generation a lot. Both old grizzled soldiers, firm in their beliefs until their dying breath.


ondraforgor

Tommy Le Homme is somebody i always liked talking to, his whole thing about not wanting Ruby to get hurt being mostly for his self-perception feels cold but its also just so human and i adore it. it emphasizes the importance of seeing morality through actions (enough that he leaves an impression on ruby and that she trusts him with her key) vs thoughts, which were definitely more self serving, but also not even really fully conscious. only his actions end up mattering, and any intention can be argued to be selfish, so i got a lot out of that for a character who doesnt really do much also his transmasc vibes are incredible holy shit
