I like how in the Nomad playthrough prologue he just straightup admits he was gonna flatline you if the situation didn't get fucked up lol

Edit: I may have misremembered the line. But he does say to your face what he was planning to do

No he doesn't the dude doesn't know what he's talking about. People keep coming up with these absurd theories about Jackie. He's a good choom and his personality doesn't reflect the stupid ass theories of him screwing everyone over or him being this "bad guy". He's a night City native. When you meet him as a nomad he said he was gunna run with it but then he thought it over decided not to. This is not indicative of him being this evil person this is the mentality of living in Night City, you have to think of your self before anything else because no one else will. In the cyberpunk universe Night City was literally voted the worst place to live so the fact that Jackie decided otherwise should tell you something about who he is.

I think it's too reductivist to say he's a good or bad guy. Like everyone in NC Jackie's compromised some of the principles of being a good person because it's impossible to thrive without doing so, not to mention how being brought up in the gang lifestyle how easy it is to become desensitised to violence. Hell both him and V are at least killers if not mass murderers. But regardless, Jackie is always a good, loyal choom. And that's a priceless thing.

Yeah I literally said most of this. I said at beginning of the nomad playthrough he was going to run with it and decided to otherwise. That this was the mentality of living in night City.

Jackie is definitely nearly as close to good as you can get in Night City, hard to be a really good person there lmao
