You know how all the missions in the game are named after songs? At the beginning of the Nomad lifepath, you run into the sheriff of some pockmark SoCal town near the NoCal/Night City border, and he makes it absolutely clear within seconds of meeting you that he hates Nomads. All the hallmarks are there that the game is setting this guy up as an antagonist for you, if not now, then later on.

But after the prologue, you can never go back to that town again for any reason. No mission takes you there, and even if you took it into your head to freeroam it for no in-game reason, you can't--the SoCal border patrol blows you up if you try to cross back into the state.

I feel like this has to be an unfinished part of the game. Surely they wrote that prologue with the specific intent of linking it later on to a mission called "I Shot the Sheriff".
