      My ending I thought was very bittersweet. My V got cured like this ending, but I did all of the side missions, gigs, and helped a LOT of people. Sure, he isn't going to be a legend, but a lot of people will remember him for his services I would think. He chose the quiet life before going out in a blaze of glory.

    Man, this was hard to watch. A lot of the characters sounded depressed, no anger, no malice, it's sad seeing everyone moving on in this game while the main character was in a coma. It resonates a lot with me and my life at this point, minus the coma part. The part with Panam really hurts the most because it wasn't V's fault at all. This game seems to have gone a very depressing and self reflecting path compared to the one it took three years ago. Cyberpunk with forever hold a place near and dear to me.

      Imo this is a very good ending and pretty realistic.
      I also think that V and Panam (if you chose to romance her) will eventually be together again. V and Panam as a romance built a very strong bond as she is very hard to get as a couple. Think about it, Panam was surrounded by dudes for years and stayed single until she met V so she doesn't really sleep around or get into serious relationships often, specially now that she became a co leader of her nomad clan which demands her to hold an even more respectable image among its members and 2 years is not even that long of a time.
      The corpos will continue their own natural cycles and V retires from a life of killing in order to become a more down to earth human being.
      There's also the chance that V is stronger than the average person similar to David Martinez and the other Cyber Psychos, I mean he is a main character after all so he could eventually recover and keep going in that sort of story arch.
      Johnny Silverhand was not alive anyway, you were dealing with a digitally stored consciousness AI since day 1, it was never real, his soul was gone the minute he died back then that's why the process of doing that (extracting someone's consciousness) is called "soul killer".

      I understand her not wanting to help V given that her Pyramid Song quest line is specifically about her bidding you farewell and wanting to leave Night City. Her hesitation on helping out V is her refusing to relieve all the trauma she experienced in NC all over again. Yet, she remains a friend by extending an invitation to V for a drink when V drops by Pittsburgh for a visit.
      That's heaps better than nothing.

    I know that a lot of people see this ending as just bleak and depressing, but in truth it is the most hopeful and 'grounded ending. At least for V.
    Waking up after two years to find your old life and most of your friends gone would push anyone into an emotional breakdown. It's a real gut punch. It is just human to feel like everything is lost and all your sacrifices were for nothing, even if there is hope left.
    And there is a lot of hope in this ending.
    V is finally cured for good and has more than enough time to build up a new life. This isn't the first time for V to hit rock bottom in life, as this is a core part of the prologue for every life path.
    Also, since she didn't rely on Alt's 'help', V has not been soulkilled and remains her true self. (I feel like people tend to ignore the implications of this in most of the popular endings)
    V also doesn't really lose all her friends and connections. Keep in mind that V met most of them over a span of only a few weeks, maybe two or three months at most. And they always knew V was dying. They all obviously cared for V and were heartbroken by her presumed death. They had to move with their lifes. But her old friends like Vic and Misty were still there for her. And Kerry immediately offers V any help he can provide and promises to meet with her asap, despite being in the middle of a tour in space.
    If it took V just a few weeks to make new friends while running from death, she will quickly meet new friends again now.
    V's physical condition is also exceptionally good for someone who just awoke from years of coma. There is no time skip between waking up and leaving for NC, which means V hasn't received any physical therapy or other treatment before leaving.
    The loss of cyberware compatibility is probably the hardest part for V, as it means V's Edgerunner career is over. Yes, people can achieve a lot without chrome and there are enough examples within the game to prove it, but you just won't last long as a top-level merc. Still, V has both the experience and the skills to become a highly effective fighter again once fully recovered from the coma. At least one capable enough to survive most low level threats out on the streets.
    And considering what awaits the world in the near future, it may be a very fortunate thing for V to no longer rely on implantats...
    There are endless opportunities for V to build a new life now, meet new people and maybe even get back into the business as fixer or a specialist merc. V knows how NC works and while a lot has changed in two years, the rules are always the same. It wouldn't take long to sort out what has changed, who's in charge now and what's going in the city, especially since V could easily turn to close contacts like Rogue or Mr Hands for help here.

    • @yarhar9732
      @yarhar9732 4 місяці тому +1

      I'd actually argue that the Star ending is more hopeful, that hope just isn't as overt as this ending. There are a lot of little clues that hint at V's fate in the Star that people have picked up over the years.
      For starters, one of Panam's contacts is almost definitely StormTech, who specializes in nanotechnology and other fields that could certainly help V. Misty's Tarot reading also sounds way too hopeful for someone to be dying in 6 months, and her readings are always accurate. Finally, next to the Basilisk is a datashard containing an excerpt from The Iliad that I would highly recommend looking up. It basically spells out the likely outcome for V, especially when paired with the final cutscene.
      I'd also like to add that I do firmly believe that V is still themselves after Mikoshi. Engrams are less like clones and more like a blueprint the biochip gives to the brain. It is effectively brainwashing, this is what Hellman was alluding to in the hotel. Johnny was never there, he was really just a split personality being forced onto V's brain, converting it. Every instance of V and Johnny interacting is just V's brain processing this change. This would also mean that Johnny in the Temperance ending is really just a version of V believing they are Johnny. Any ending that has V's engram take over is basically just the brain swapping blueprints.
      The Tower ending is ultimately the only one where we actually get to see V live, but a few other endings imply a similar fate for V down the road.

      I've heard people claim that the star was hopeful for V's future, but as far as I knew it was mostly based on Misty's Tarot. I always thought help from Panam's contacts was mostly wishful thinking by people who just wanted a happy ending.
      When it comes to the nature of engrams (and by extention Soulkiller), this is one of the most fascinating topics in the game imo. The nature of consciousness and the blurring of the line between technology and the human mind is a such classic theme of the cyberpunk genre.

    And how everyone turns you down, how you are just something that's an afterthought in everyone's life, how you are a nobody is just bonechilling.
    Vic stands up for you, but even he is not Victor you know from beginning of all this, he too is a corpo slave, depressed and just pretends things are fine.

In a world where every fucking line cook and construction worker has at least a joint implant, do you really think V reduced to basic human speed/strength/skill/net running ability could survive a single minute as a merc? Nah, if you pick this ending, V ends their story as just another person in the crowd. They'll never be a legend. The ending is a question. What do you value more? Being a legend and snuffing it in flames and horror to be revered forever, or holding onto life as just another person, and trying to live a meaningful, normal, life? And the other question, too. Whatever you chose, how do you live with yourself after all is said and done?

    Here I am, desperate to pick up pieces and build a C.A.G.E fiction one-shot. I will say, though, that Phantom Liberty *does* prove that V can be cured, albeit at significant cost by the time the FIA rolls around. Which means in hindsight, it isn’t even “too late” for the more ambiguous endings.
    We’re still left quite open to Mr. Blue Eyes, and Panam’s endings. That’s the beauty of Cyberpunk, though. Contemplation, speculation- some stories are much more finite than others, but there is hope to be had for those who won’t quit fighting.

Then I returned to body as V. I think it's the best ending for my concept of the character.

      I couldn't steer V who partnered with devils like Myers and Reed and sold them So Mi for eternal torment. No, just no.
      ps.
      "Luckily" it's non-existant problem, I doubt CDPR would continue the same story further, I think it's closed episode and if we ever see V again it will be only a form of flashback or side char. It's very hard to continue THAT good stories and barely ever works.

So Mi is ok atleast she as not as worse as alt. But hey nightcity did change after 2 year. Corpo like Arasaka is more much evil then government. Now exchange your chrome for the cure haha so you can start over again except without the relic right?

      @@darkart4551 Yeah, would be cool to have a sign of V. But you know, thinking about this, each ending can be canon one easily. NUSA somewhat saved him, right. But other endings (except Temperence) are still unfinished and untold and in each there is hope and chance for V. ;)

      What if I tell you that the temperance ending is showing up that the V that we are playing isn’t actually the real V, I mean Johnny is the main character and when them both 2 combine this become the real V

      Judging by what Rogue said, I'd say it's pretty likely V will get a drink named after them.
