10 Video Game Side Quests You Should NEVER Finish
3. Coin Operated Boy - Cyberpunk 2077
The world of cyberpunk is a pretty cruel place. Luckily for you, not everyone in Night City is a mean gunman glitching into the pavement. You can also find a new friend in the form of a jovial vending machine named Brendan.
Brendan is not your average AI. He's capable of cracking jokes, acting with kindness, and even giving relationship advice. When you meet him for the first time, he offers to give you some free soda if you move a dumpster blocking his view of the street.
This moment is the beginning of a beautiful friendship... with a very tragic finale...
After V and Brendan get acquainted, you can come back to him for more jokes and discounted snacks. Every now and then, you can also help him with more personal issues.
Unfortunately, if you help Brendan too many times, one day you won't find him standing in his alleyway. His other frequent customer, Theo, will tell you Brendan was taken away for a factory reset, and even though you can chase after him, the moment you arrive at the repair shop, Brendan will already be halfway through his update and then get disabled shortly after.
We just can't have nice things, can we?
