Dude, life is already going extinct. Cats are mostly extinct already, and most animals are either robots or uber expensive clones! There are no animals in wilderness. There are acid rains and all sort of climate problems because the climate is already in shambles.

Cops will definitely kill you on a whim. Or it will be one of the gangs or corpo who will. Didn't you see the shootings in pacifica?

Religion is very much there with a guy who crucifies himself on a braindance!

Cyberpsycho would be killed on sight of Regina wasn't hiring you to extract them. Did you watch any of the media of CP77? It seems like you didn't.

Did you hear about the corpo wars? CP77 is about the start of a war between arasaka and militech btw...

This is not true. The game doesn't have to touch on this topics to tell Vs story but they do touch on climate on the news, cops are very trigger happy, religion is present in the game and you go to a church as part of a mission and there's a whole sect obsessed with cyberware that does judge everyone else constantly throughout the game, including mutilating a monk that refused to get augmented.

I see your points and I agree but I have to call out their climate is not stable. You often hear the news in the game talk about weather and temperatures being in the safe range for humans.

Also the cops gun you down over the slightest infraction, or at least they did, I haven't played since the Phantom Liberty update.

Also in Pacific you attend a funeral at a church and it is heavy on the Christian iconography. Oh and I just remembered you can help a dude crucify (kill) himself for his sins while it's being streamed and recorded for brain dance experiences!

I recall domestic/intentional politics and espionage being mentioned several times in the game. Even to the point where we uncover a conspiracy where someone is brainwashing potential political candidates. I have an inkling politics will come up in Phantom Liberty as well.

How do you know most of this isn't true just out of scope of Vs vision he is pretty laser focused on the brain cancer quickly replacing his personality and multiple threads of his own drama enough so he's not as interested in larger social issues.

Well the cops are corrupt and there are clearly tribalistic behavior. Racism is a type of tribalism. I don't know how racist arasaka is. Do they want to keep their bloodline "pure"? So why wouldn't a corrupt police force attack in the interest of racists? There might be a lot of racism for all I know.

It would be pretty weird for the game focused on a particular city to focus on global issues

Forgetting the bird flu?
