If you make all the choices to be on her side all the way to the end, you’ll eventually be carrying her to the space shuttle … and then in comes fucking Reed to block your way. You have several dialog choices there, but only two possibilities: you give up and give her to Reed, or … Reed shoots you in the head, you die, game over.

I really wanted to fight that motherfucker and have an awesome boss fight. It was one of the last quests I did, and with the build I had, I could probably take him no matter what. Hell, with the cyberware I had, I bet I could take him without putting Songbird down. But the game doesn’t even let you try. Cutscene death, every time.
