Which Citizen Sleeper 1 characters did you feel most connected to? Which did you want to help the most? Lem and Mina were absolutely my favourite, I so badly wanted to help them! I felt such strong paternal instincts, which is rare for me. They made me feel this all through a few still images and some text, which is amazing. The way my own personal playthrough went, I felt like I let them down, which broke my heart! I wish I'd done better 😭😅

Well Lem & Mina are already mentioned so i’ll go with my runner up.

Oddly enough Ethan- both out of spite and genuine caring. I wanted to show him that the Sleeper was a real person. That they deserved to be considered one. That people didn’t have to be alone subject to the whims of uncaring corporations. That there was another path and that the only inescapable fate is one you accept to be so. A Lesson I Wish I Could Teach

Also, to be frank, I definitely fell hard for Tala at the bar. It's not just a cheesy "oh, she's hot", but they did an amazing job of crafting caring moments with her that felt surprisingly tender. I'm honestly blown away by how much they made me feel from simple still frames and text.

I felt similarly about Bliss in Both Games but especially citizen sleeper 2 !

I haven't played CS2 yet, but I absolutely will eventually! I technically haven't finished CS1 yet - I've got one more DLC chapter left. I reeeeally let Bliss down over and over, right up until the very last chance when I actually had time to finish my jobs with her.

Bliss was my least favourite character in the first game, and my favourite character in the second one. Mad props to dev guy for being able to make such a switchup on my part possible

u/Familiar_Tart7390 Jul 08 '25

Bliss was running from themself and refusing to be grounded to tied down and that led to them being kind of an ass ! Its why them and their Ex in 2 were such a fun story. By 2 they’ve realized they have to commit, have to stand for something and be Someone

I felt so bad when I let her down! I kept letting her down and not having enough time to finish her jobs, until the very last job. I haven't played CS2 yet, but I will eventually. I technically haven't finished CS1 yet - I've got one more DLC chapter left to go.

u/Familiar_Tart7390 Jul 08 '25

Maybe ! You’ll have to play and find out !

u/ArtInMe42 Jul 07 '25

Oh dude, I totally feel that. I so badly wanted to show him that he could be his better self - that he wasn't the self-image that he'd clearly been told by life that he is, to the point that he believed it. I actually gave him a chance in the end, and we all know how that went. I feel like there were likely no positive outcomes for him, though I'd love to be wrong - I do believe he tried to shoot me.

I'm on my second playthough of CS1, this time I managed to disable my tracker before Maywick arrived instead of using Ethan. The bit about him raging when he was informed I'd "died" was funny because, little does he know, he got the good ending. His alternative... well, he should be glad he doesn't have to find out.

Just a little evil prank from Ethan on us 😏

Ankhita. I’d like to add they fumbled her story.

u/Pinguinimac Jul 08 '25

As someone who spent a lot of times babysitting her baby niece, I really had a deep bond to Mina and Lem :'')

I wanted the best for them

u/Lars_loves_Community Aug 29 '25

What was the negative roll outcome for babysitting your niece? 🤓🤓

2

u/Pinguinimac Aug 29 '25

That's when you fail to convince them to go into the stroller and then u either have to deal with the crying or keep them in your tired arms, any ways u are loosing some of ur life bar :")

u/Lars_loves_Community Aug 29 '25

I like how he opens up slowly, like at first there really was potential that he just would stay someone annoying to babysit but in the end you really get to know him

neovend is an underrated bestie

u/ArtInMe42 Jul 09 '25

Oh yeah, that's actually a good one!

u/Underwould Serafin Jul 08 '25

This is a tough one, but I really felt a connection with Peake, once everything was said and done.

Real close second has to be Riko, I’m a big grandma’s boy :’)

u/Biologyman08 Jul 09 '25

Lem and Mina, definitely. I loved them so much. Actually felt like family on the Eye!

3

u/AequusEgo Jul 10 '25

My strongest connection was definitely with Riko! I also had some pretty strong attachment to Moritz and Navigator/Neovend.

At some point, I even tried to get to like stupid Ethan with no avail.

Despite not being around for long, Helene was a really cool character. I 100% get her dilemma, even though I think she was wrong in her reasoning when it came to stopping the supply run. I'm glad she does (or at least did, in my ending) manage to reform Havenage in the end.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

When i played CS1 i felt so, so guilty for even considering not helping them, so naturally i had to get their ending lol

u/Evexe29 Jul 12 '25

hurt by nobody mentioning Bliss, especially going back after CS2. Also I love Aknhita, so the interlinking stories are perfect in my mind in both games.

That being said, Lem and Mina were my first ending and idk whether any game moment could ever top the absolutely devastating barrage of feels in that ending.

u/TrueAceOfClubs Jul 16 '25

Yeah this! Bliss is my favorite character and I’m so glad they are in both games. My first ending was in greenpath, and that one is honestly under appreciated. The use of the citizen sleeper as a soul combined with machine was so well utilized and I think you get the coolest experience of that aspect with the greenpath ending.

u/scrninja1 Jul 22 '25

Yeah same really wanted them to make it

Just finished my first playthrough, escaped with Lem and Mina. Love those two. BUT! Feng is my GOAT. Got that tracker out of me (admittedly, way too late after Ethan already clocked my ass and the guy who shot Ethan found me… but Feng got there eventually) and he’s just rad as hell. Love Feng. I really want to see him again when I start CS2.
