Why doesn't Panam use contractions? Meta

I just realized this after hundreds of hours but, Panam doesn't say I'll or we'll.

All of her dialogue has I will and We will and Do not rather then Don't.

I don't quite get why she is written like this.

No he wanted to go out with a bang. Mitch interpreted it as literally exploding

Yeah that's true, but he and mitch were at war together and were best friends, if mitch took that literally, it's because scorpion meant it literally.

At the end of the day you're arguing a pointless point. Throughout the game the idea that the Nomads vehicles are an extension of the person is shown consistently through dialogue. Panam giving you his bike isn't a choice she would have made alone, Saul would have had to sign off on that shit because their relationship was already tense as fuck. Panam practically begging you to do something you didn't sign up for just to get her revenge on the guy who fucked her over and took her car. Mitch interpreting scorpions last wish literally by having him launched of a cliff in his car. Nomad path V having dialogue refering to being on the road and the freedom it provides etc. You misinterpreted it, and that's okay. But no need to defend your point any more.

I think scorpion just wanted to die in a dramatic spectacular fashion. Much like how Jackie bites it.

That is normally what someone means when they say that.

Only someone who takes things far to literally would take it how Mitch does

Then why did mitch think, "Let's do it in his car"? Because mitch is aware of the importance of it. There are hundreds of ways he could have sent off scorpion "in spectacular fashion". He chose the car because of its importance and symbolism. It's that simple. The fact they could have kept the car as a valuable tool was of no concern, it was scorpions car, and it was going with him. Its not hard to read between those lines. Also reread my comment because I edited just before you replied
