Here's a very interesting idea if you're looking for reasons to play the reboot: Mainly play as Shaundi (SR2) or "Fun" Shaundi as they call her in SR4. HEAR ME OUT, IT'LL MAKE FULL SENSE AFTER I'M FINISHED. The context could be that Boss got tired or worried about her ongoing situation/behavior of being a burden. In response to that Boss sends her to military school / Marshall to recover from Loa Dust (drug), parties and sleeping around...
Now, you might ask: WHY would Boss care? Well, Shaundi knows a lot about the life so it's either help her or else he/she might be forced to do something they don't want ... Which previously in SR2, it's something Boss warns Shaundi multiple times about it. Another thing is that Boss already lost Carlos for taking all the responsibility for him. That's why this time Boss rathers for someone else to take care of her. That and as he/she claims "they aren't a babysitter".
Then as seen in the reboot story; Shaundi recovers and becomes another Boss of the new crew in Santo Ileso. She becomes more defensive but still aims to have some fun in the process. Of course, she receives support from her main Boss for being on their side again. Support from her other direct friends like Tobias for helicopter missions, his wife Laura, Pierce, and even "Zombie Carlos". Either she connects with Carlos through a black magic spell from Sons of Samedi & Marshall's high tech? or ... she's still high on Loa Dust.
Carlos is not just some guardian angel but a reflection of Shaundi if she fails at the life she picked. He's her instant muscle help beyond human capacity & guidance to not end like he did. In the other hand he might not get enough help from her and this is where we also ask if he's part of her delusion, if he's a spirit, being controlled or just very humble.
To finalize, this can be the story on how Shaundi became SR3 Shaundi.
Character roles:
Fun Shaundi - Marshall & Idols missions + more.
CarloZ - Panteros missions + more.
SR3 Shaundi - game's last missions.
Josh Birk - bunch of silly missions & ventures to stalk Shaundi. Missions such as larpping..? Not all.
Asha Odekar - secret spy-like missions. Not necessarily affiliated with the Saints yet.
Tobias - heli missions
Pierce - easy missions? Lol
