Something the game downplays a lot, but does mention, is how much life sucks for those who need cyberware like Jensen does. First of all, they’re basically always in pain. Phantom pain and rehular pain from how the cyberware connects to your body. Second, they need to take some anti-rejection meditation that has awful side-effects (not least of which was the big event from the bad guys that made everyone go psycho; but I’m not gonna count that one since it’s not something that affects Jensen through the whole game). Not to mention tbe societal perceptions of those with cybernetics.
I mean, yeah, it was a tongue in check comment. Of course losing most of your body, even if it’s replaced by supercool killer robot parts is traumatic af.
