Will we ever get to overthrow the cooperate system?

[Vicson_Steele]

One strong theme of the game is the abuse of power the elites of society have over the common man and the exploitation of other planets and the bodies of the aliens who resides on those planets. The first planet has you witnessing a strike for the sake of the Zil if you capture them for Dr. Julian. The game even references real abuses by corporate interests by having a Nestle reference in Snuggle. When you turn in RK Lah to Darnock he references Heart of Darkness. a book based off real life abuse and exploitation in the congo that went into making products for the rest of the world! This all culminates in Dhaal where the entire planet is being run by several corporations doing morally reprehensible shit behind the scenes while controlling the fate of the poor folk who have little to no say so to how the planet is run. There is no option to refuse to side or give power to any side of the conflict. Your character just moves on while the Dhaal continues to suffer and the cooperate capitalist machine keeps turning!

I hope there will be an option to dismantle this system or at least do something to inhibit the exploitation you see! It's nice that you can side with Rk Lah but I hope there's an option to do that again in the future!

You're not going to get to overthrow capitalism in this game, no. The machinery of exploitation is simply too big and too powerful to stop, even for the ultimate space badass. TiTS is at its heart a spaceborne cyberpunk setting, and cyberpunk depicts a world where any hope of overthrowing capitalism has been permanently crushed, it is an inevitable and unbeatable force.

What you can do with your immense wealth and privilege is make your own fiefdom a comfortable and non-exploitative place to live in, and the game gives you a substantial number of opportunities to do this.
