After thinking it over, I believe the reason Yorinobu put Silverhand's engram on the relic was not just a middle finger to Saburo, but as a contingency. Should the chip be returned to Arasaka and inserted into him to initiate Saburo's revival, Silverhand would appear instead. In his own words in the Devil ending, he'll become the bomb.
just picked up cyberpunk again yesterday after not playing it for a few years and i’m so glad i found your channel to accompany on my journey. the effort put into your presentation is incredible
You've quickly become my new favorite Cyberpunk lore channel! I'm excited to put this on my other display while going through my latest run in Night City 😁
Just discovered your channel. Loving the cyberpunk character analysis videos! I fell in love in cyberpunk 2077 despite all the day one bugs and watching your videos makes me want to replay the game for the 4th time 😂 Your definitely deserve more subs!
I always feel robbed that I was not able to confront Dexter de Shawn. The other thing that bothered me was Viktor saying V was lucky to survive because the bullet was a point 2 calibre. Now I don’t claim to be a gun expert but the cannon used on V by de Shawn was no .2 calibre.
Been watching your CP2077 stuff for a while, really enjoying falling asleep to this. Fantastic work. I know someone with Reynaud's too, that was a nice moment!
Hey! Happy Holidays! Leaving a comment to feed the algorithm. This was a great video shining a thoughtful light on some characters in the game. I thought it was maybe a little light on substance in some areas, but I also respect that that might not be what you were going for all the time. Great work on researching other source materials than the game itself. With that said... I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
It was truly amazing thank you ! I really loved your analysis about Goro, he's one of my fav characters and it's a shame that he's not a romance option 😭
Regarding what you said about perspective and overall complexity of characters: Saburo had a knife on him, and yet he didn't defend himself, he let his son strangle him. Why? Did he hesitate out of affection, or was he just protective of his legacy, his new host? Was he so calculating that he foresaw he would keep living in Mikoshi anyway, so he let himself die, even if he was but one knifestroke away from salvation?
Something I really want you to check out is the Netwatch and vdb's situation. The possibility that Mosely isn't actually himself, and just how agitating and easy to kill vdb's are.
@lydiscott I'm currently going through my 12th playthrough and just happened to scan a body with the exact same name. If I can find the location again, I'll reply here again.
I remember river just ambushing me (a straight man playing male V) with his proposition and being confused about what exactly he was saying. They really should have added a "hey man, i don't go that way" dialogue option like how Judy does to male V lmao
River should have been Takemura at least in my head - cause i like Takemura much more not only his character but also his looks- i mean come on! these steel grey eyes, that hair, his clothes, omg everything!! while River is what - just some mediocre buff guy- no, thanx! Because in reality Takemura was romancable as u said at the beginning but they didn't have the time to do it and instead gave us that stupid ass half baked romance with River.
You have to have picked the lifepath of the Corpo to catch the glimpse of Hanako slipping the Relic into Yori's neural port. There's A LOT of extra dialog and extra content & things that you can say and do and find out and see if you are a Corpo and you choose this ending. Also, SAVE Takemura. You always should, but if you want to get the best out of this ending (especially if your a Corpo) then saving him is the best option because you get to have alot of extra dialog w/ him aswell. It's very much worth it just for gameplay sake, and it makes so much sense that if your a Corpo then you'd have extra little tid bits of secrets and comments and stuff if you are returning to your former life but as a kickass Merc intead of the kickass Counter Intellegence angent that was tossed to the wind after working your way up the corporate ladder for their whole life... just chewed up and spit out.. who wouldnt be mad, right?! 🤩
Might sound a bit corny or whatnot coming from me with putting Eurodyne as part of my profile name thing, but any chance you might be able to do a character analysis of Kerry Eurodyne, there may not be as much as others, but I would appreciate a look at his character if able, I grew to like him over the time I replay the game again and again as one of my time five characters. Regardless, have a good one.
Ummm sooo... I'm kinda asking for a friend, is their gona an Aurore video?? That spicy lil red headed French girl has been running around my head rent free.. I mean my friend's head...
Just on the takamura vs smasher point, I highly doubt pappy saka wanted smasher close at hand; he’s someone who couldn’t be stopped if he tried something funny, whereas takamura is loyal, extremely so, and thus he is safer with him
@Shapedbystories You know whose needed way more lore, Sasquatch. Shes the leader of the Animals but has nothing of lore, wonder what you could find in your investigation
OHH YES THATS AN EXCELLENT POINT! I want to cover all the gangs this year, so I’ll have to do some digging on Sasquatch for the Animals deep dive. It really sucks we didn’t see more of her. For a lady with a boss health bar, she disappeared real fast from the game. Like, as fast as she arrived lol. Shame.
I never really cared much for River. He's kind of a deadbeat uncle. short fuse and all around creep, I mean you get done with rescuing Randy and the next days on the holo he tells you he misses you?? Cmon River!! that was NOT a date!! Lets also not forget him totally leading Male V on. I mean he takes you up to a pretty romantic spot, give you his gun and when you make a move he's all WOAH!! I dont swing that way... Couda fooled me River...

I do love that idea!!!
Dude. New headcanon installed. Yorinobu giving the middle finger to Dad just when he thought he'd won is amazing . Stupid V and Jackie screwing it up

Aww thanks so much! That’s so awesome, enjoy! 😊
Fell asleep to this, in a good way, but want to relisten. Good job on this choom!
Happy Holidays everyone! See you in the New Year with more Cyberpunk videos! :D
Love these vids. I like to listen to them while I'm working. You have a lovely voice and clearly put lots of effort into these.
Hi filthy* (hugs and loves you) hey V
Just discovered your channel. Loving the cyberpunk character analysis videos! I fell in love in cyberpunk 2077 despite all the day one bugs and watching your videos makes me want to replay the game for the 4th time 😂 Your definitely deserve more subs!
Awwwww thank you so so much for your kind words! Seriously! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 have fun in your next playthrough!!!
If they ever decide to do a Cyberpunk movie or another type of Cyberpunk series, you must have a hand in it.
It’s a good video but that feels dramatic. Splash some cold water on your face or something.
@SteveHoover69 you look dramatic. Have a good day.
I don't have a dog in this but "have a good day" was pretty dramatic lol.
@kolgax2064 have a good night.
3 hours?? You spoil me. Perfect time for the gym. Thanks!!!! ❤
Ahhh have fun! Thank YOU for listening! 🤗
god i love your videos so much. this is my favorite game of all time and you rlly do it justice. thank you.
Perfect to listen to while I game over my holiday break - can’t wait for you to hit some of the complex phantom liberty characters ❤
Ahhhh happy holidays! Thanks so much for your kind words, super excited to get into the PL stuff! So much good story material omggggg
Liddy you are very talented. You know how distill the stories down for us.😊
I always feel robbed that I was not able to confront Dexter de Shawn. The other thing that bothered me was Viktor saying V was lucky to survive because the bullet was a point 2 calibre. Now I don’t claim to be a gun expert but the cannon used on V by de Shawn was no .2 calibre.
I just started a new playthrough for 2.2 changes. This is well timed as a refresher.
WOOOO HAVE FUN!!!
Well, now i know that i need to binge watch every video about cyberpunk. I'm not complaining tbh 😂
Been watching your CP2077 stuff for a while, really enjoying falling asleep to this. Fantastic work.
I know someone with Reynaud's too, that was a nice moment!
This must have took 2 weeks to make this. Thanks for more lore :)
This is outstanding
Aww thank you!

Ahh I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!! Same here, forever sad that we didn’t get even a bit more goro
You is a good story teller, i didn't even notice the time that passed, the video is over and so is my house work 😇
Awww that’s awesome HELL YEAG
I just need that sweet Johnny Silverhand video... This will do until then
I SWEAR it’s gonna happen, I’m just trying to get as many interactions with him as possible for his case study video lmao THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!! 🤗
Regarding what you said about perspective and overall complexity of characters:

Would love to! That’s a really interesting theory, and damn like, that whole part of the questline has so many unanswered questions ahhhh.

Are you planning to go into phantom liberty’s character lore at some point? 👀 would love to see it!
I just don't think panam would be using fixers from night city when dakota is right up the road.
Yeah, Dakota is sorely underused. Wish there was a lot more stuff tying her to the nomads and whatnot, would’ve been cool.
Well, it's not like I was traveling to NightCity or anything like that. Definitely do not need a 3h Lore Dump by the one and only Lydi!
Oh btw the original Crystal Palace was a nineteenth century exhibition hall in London.
As a person from Russia I laughed so hard at his original name. No way would I have been able to take Sobchak seriously 😂😂
bummer that we didn’t get the takemura romance option
I will forever be sad about it RIP lol
bless you 🙏
Finally, some good fucking sleep.
Phew god bless timestamps

OMG YES FOR SURE! 🤗 not corny at all! Thanks for commenting, I need to add him to my list for next months videos. Kinda slipped my mind. Thank you!

What’s your opinion on the macroeconomics of Canada micheal
