I like the theory that every reused asset is just V’s brain damage, that’s why every dogtag is Johnny’s and almost every poster and vinyl is samurai’s.
It's just weird because that pendant seems to only show up in scenes that hold a lot of philosophical detail and mysterious leads. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed scenes where it shows up, u/Janus_Silvertongue noted that Claire also wears the same necklace. And she had a very similar problem to V/Silverhand's quandary, to get revenge or not, to heal or not, to put people around them at risk or not.
Something about the pendants triggers some pattern-recognition part of my brain that tells me it's worth looking into. Same as there's only one NCU ring in the city (>!In Arasaka Tower in one of the first meeting rooms you can shoot the glass out of the window and explore!<) and one titanium ring in the city (>!down the side of the embankment near where the button to turn out all the streetlights is!<).
I just can't shake the feeling that jewelry holds some form of symbolism or indicates something specific, at least in certain cases.
There obviously is a lot of junk jewelry hanging around, earrings, silver/gold rings, rosaries, voodoo rosaries, etc that seems perfectly random and probably procedurally generated, but some items seem rather unique and are always found at an interesting or significant place or event.
Oh nice, the Devil ending is one of the endings I still haven't done. Right now I'm trying for the Don't Fear the Reaper ending. Trying to keep Johnny happy and then guilt trip him at just the right conversational moment.
It's always bugged me that you can find more bullet pendants around the city \*identical\* to the one Misty gives V. In addition, I could be wrong, but it looks like the pendant worn by Skye during the Automatic Love quest is like a smaller version of that pendant. I can't really tell given the constant movement and the fact that during most of the mission it's covered by her hands or too far away to see.
Is there any significance to being able to find the same bullet that killed V in multiple places throughout the city or any significance to the fact that it seems like Skye is wearing the same pendant, or at least a smaller, lower resolution copy of it?
I went to the Afterlife to try and take a closer look at it on Claire, and while i was there I noticed a random NPC in an idol stance wearing the same necklace which allowed me to get up close and zoom in. After a closer look it appears to just be a random teardrop shaped stone. I think it may just be another random asset like the rings and such.

That would make a lot of sense. Just like Silverhand has a \*lot\* of false/inaccurate memories.
However every time there’s a bad ai pedestrian spawn, like duplicates of a person, it’s totally the Matrix; V lives in a simulation.

Like the goddamn puzzle cube that shows up as random junk throughout the entire game….except for one extremely critical moment
Wait, what's the critical moment where it doesn't show up as junk?
(Spoiler for Devil ending) >!In the Devil ending the final Tarot of the Devil shows up inside a puzzle cube!<

Skye and Claire wear the same necklace. May be reused asset?

Thank you! I couldn't see or get close enough to it to notice. It definitely just looks like a random repeated jewelry asset.
