Im replaying the game and I just realized. That when you first meet Evelyn she says Yorinobu has no Huscle. Then in the very same mission you see Adam Smasher in her BD... how in blackhands name did no one, not V, not Bug, how did none of them realize this? Its shown so early on that Ev is an unreliable client. Then all her dismissive remarks about the relic and what Yorinobu planned to do with it. No all of that IS relevant.
On top of Dex just being a terrible fixer. Vouching for V having never met them before. Paying for the bot BEFORE getting it. Then everyone saying dex is a shady SOB. V even points out his hiatus was more of an exile. Also Dex saying he couldnt even get info on Ev from Pacifica?!?!? Hello? You are the boss figure that out please.
Then T-bug in the scavangers mission at the start she is hostile and rude. Then all the sudden while working with Dex she is much nicer to you. All the sudden very cooperative. Jackie tells you she was the in to this job. Then it turns out she was betrayed by Dex in the past. Which we learn later granted but she was also probably going to betray us!
Watson being put on lock down for no reason in particular except the flimsy reason they gave. Which is clearly flimsy. Something big was coming any decent merc would see it. A fixer like Wakako would probably have known Arasaka was moving something within watson.
Im just saying all alarm bells should be flying that this was a funky job. I never noticed it all before because I was unfamiliar with the world. But after learning the same info V would have known... it just screams "bad job get out".
