The Verge posted an article over the holiday about the Lizzy Wizzy quest. In the quest Lizzy comes to you about her having clues that her boyfriend is cheating and wants you to verify such with evidence. Depending how you handle it you could end up 'wetworking' the boyfriend and dumping the body in the trash. For context, Lizzy is voiced by Grimes, who was at the time of the games release the real life girlfriend of Elon Musk. Who among his many shortcomings can't seem to keep his pants on as other women kept having his babies. Art imitating life? This article explores that and the irony, here is a snip;

Musk was in a pretty different position in the cultural consciousness at the time of the game’s release. For most gamers then, he was the guy who makes Cybertrucks, which look like they’re straight out of Cyberpunk 2077; now, he’s the guy who thinks iPhone strategy games are superior to chess and has the worst Elden Ring build you’ve ever seen. Also, he and Grimes are broken up.

Between the various rumors of infidelity to Grimes and his overall flagging popularity since the acquisition of Twitter, maybe the “Violence” side quest was just too ahead of its time. If it had been written today, Liam Northom could have become a much more explicit nod to the billionaire and the whole arc would have been much funnier. Maybe Liam’s body would be unbelievably heavy due to carrying two shields. Maybe you’d get rewarded with a Cybertruck that’s supposed to show up in your inventory later and never does.
