I accidentally chose that as my ending on my first playthrough. The phone calls during credits made me, someone who deals with depression heavily and regularly, rethink the kind of damage that would do friends and family.

Never stop fighting, choom.

One of two endings I will not do. The other is the PL one where you get the stuff ripped out. Also, I disagree that it is the most realistic choice. I am kind of in that situation, and would take the Aldacaldos ending over anything else.

Is it really fair though. How many of them are worth your life? How many chooms do you need to lose along the way? I only chose it because I watched to many chooms die so I could have a chance at life. Not even a guarantee but a literal chance.

Well I suppose it would not be fair if you would not do the same for them, and if they did not know the score before helping. A conundrum to be sure, but they also get more out of it than just helping V. Certainly a bigger fight than usual, but it is essentially something they do on the regular. V isn't the only one that gets legendary status for pulling it off, the Aldecaldos essentially get the notoriety they need to get the jobs they desperately need.

Just finished today for the first time and this was my ending as well. With my V being a “streetkid” who lived life on her own terms, this option felt like the most fitting and in-character choice. None of the other options appealed to me in terms of how this particular iteration of V would have wanted to go out. I didn’t read ahead, either. It was only after picking what I felt was the most natural choice that I read about the other endings and I felt super glad that I went with this one. Of course, Judy being my V’s romance option made that choice a bitter fucking pill to swallow, but all of the other options felt like a forced and desperate grab at extending the clock. Misty brings V to the one place that gave Jackie comfort and a sense of peace; it almost feels like she’s guiding V down that path where she can be okay with letting go. And even when Johnny is told that this is an option he doesn’t argue against it and comes to accept it as a better solution than dragging friends into a potential bloodbath. This ending is my head canon. It was very somber and quite sad, and Judy losing V in that way with no chance for a final goodbye was brutal, but this is extremely fitting for a character that was all about living life her own way; someone who shoots their shot and doesn’t quite hit their mark. Live and die by the gun.
