* {{Deconstruction}}: The book pulls no punches in showing how the CityOfAdventure setting can very quickly go wrong and be far from an idealized power fantasy. The Impromptu Gang are not hardened and experienced mercenaries, but amateurs plucked from different walks of life and forced to commit crimes to make ends meet. As a result, they are often ill-equipped for their capers and make mistakes that create more problems for themselves in the long run, [[spoiler: leading to their eventual demise without ever coming close to reaching their goals.]] "No one wins in Night City", indeed.
