How Would V from Cyberpunk 2077 Fare in the Deus Ex Universe?

When we delve into the question of whether a character fits into a different universe, it often leads to subjective interpretations. Not everyone will agree on the answer, and that’s perfectly fine. In the case of placing a character from Cyberpunk 2077 (Cyberpunk 2077) in the universe of Deus Ex, I believe V from Cyberpunk 2077 would do quite well.

V in Night City vs. JC Denton in Genesis

Let's start by imagining that we could put V from Cyberpunk 2077 into the Deus Ex universe, specifically the world of Night City. V, with his full augmentations and cybernetic enhancements, would likely fare very well among some of the top solo operatives in the city. However, it’s important to note that V’s not necessarily on par with every character, just like in his original universe.

According to some analysis, V would probably hold his own against someone like David Martinez, a notable operative from the Deus Ex series. However, it's worth noting that David Martinez couldn't defeat Adam Smasher, a hard-hitting character. In contrast, most end-game builds of V would easily outperform Adam Smasher in a fight. Therefore, V could certainly make a life in Night City (NC) but might want to avoid the harshest forms of tactical combat (maxtac) to stay safe.

Character Comparisons in Deceptive Environments

In the Deus Ex universe, the focus is very much on stealth and less on outright combat. Both V and JC Denton (the protagonist of Deus Ex: Human Revolution) are viable operatives, albeit with different approaches. While JC Denton is reasonably vulnerable in the early stages of the game, V faces similar challenges early on, making them both formidable characters with the right builds and tactics.

At end-game with the correct specifications, JC Denton (JC Denton) could be nearly unstoppable. However, it’s important to note that V has a few builds that could potentially outperform JC Denton, depending on the specific setup. While there are some characters in the Deus Ex universe that are overpowered (OP) on any difficulty, both V and JC Denton have the potential to adapt and thrive.

The Harder Universe Argument

Many fans of Deus Ex will argue that it is a more challenging universe due to higher-tier threats than those in Cyberpunk 2077. But if V from Cyberpunk 2077 is OP (Overpowered) in Night City, he would likely do just fine in the Deus Ex universe as well. The key is balance and adaptability, which both V and JC Denton can bring to the table.

In conclusion, while the universes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Deus Ex have their own unique characteristics and challenges, V from Cyberpunk 2077 would be well-suited to take on the threats in the Deus Ex universe. Whether he's facing off against hard-hitting combatants or high-tier threats, V's adaptability and powerful augmentations make him a formidable force in both worlds.
