10 Characters You Should've Been Able To Save (But Couldn't)

10. Evelyn Parker (Cyberpunk 2077)

Death is a fate that befalls many of V's colleagues in Night City. But while the unavoidable demise of the beloved Jackie Welles, for example, plays an integral role in the story, Evelyn Parker's ending feels a little more preventable - even if it's not. 

Evelyn is a doll you encounter early in the game. She seems destined for narrative relevance as she plans the heist on Arasaka Towers and kicks the whole story into motion. However, after everything goes tits up, Evelyn experiences a fate worse than death, becoming the subject of numerous torture BDs. You and Judy eventually come to her rescue, but the damage is too great, and she takes her life. 

While her response to the horrors she's been through is highly understandable, it hurts that there's no option to help her get through the trauma. You can prevent many character deaths in the game, including Takemura, Songbird, and even V. The fact Evelyn's demise is fixed indicates how much she went through and how hopeless this setting can be. 

No matter what you do or try, this tragic doll will always end up broken.
