I could not get through the embarrassing story of the DLC where you literally save the president and join the FBI.

The thin act of humanity Myers and the FIA agents put on in the beginning steadily drops away, with your actual client (Songbird) even all but saying "Myers is actually ontologically evil" in part of the opening sequence, just in much more guarded words than that.

spoilersIt becomes increasingly obvious that the NUSA agents are in fact the bad guys as it sets up the moment of truth where you either keep working for Songbird or betray her and side with them instead, with Sol at one point breaking from the plan to just straight up murder two captive bystanders in front of you, and while I have no clue what side-with-the-FIA questline looks like the Songbird path ends with Myers ordering NUSA troops to No Russian the Night City spaceport and raving about wanting both V and Songbird dead.

I also liked how they made the president this tough lady who can fight for herself when the 2 most recent presidents have been bumbling geriatrics.

It's a setting where wealth buys superpowers and nearly eternal youth, and Myers is basically Adam Smasher with a human mask.
