A large part of maturing, (I think, I wouldn’t know, really) is acceptance. Accepting who you are, what you can’t or can change about yourself, maybe even accepting that you can’t accept anything is the best path for someone. The ending I got in this DLC was extremely tough to play through, because V could not accept she would never be the fully-fledged legend she set out to be, both for herself and for many others. No choices I made in dialogue could make the circumstances seem OK to V, and (although I think this definitely V’s story and not mine) that made sure it wasn’t OK for me either. I would go so far as to say the ending in which V gets to live free from the impending (or not) death that the other endings provide is by far the worst, the most thematically dissonant. I feel like a little bitch. And it’s all on me.
