      This isn't in his defence at all, he's still a terrible fixer because he has no real leverage or skill, not particularly intelligent and not even at least principled in any way.

Like yeah they have some nice moments but you have to admit they fight like a good 70% of the time even after they had an established "Friendship" It kinda felt like they were just going back and forth with each other. The one mission that comes to mind is that one where they were stalking that woman in a pink dress because their husband thought they were cheating. V kept telling Johnny to basically piss off and yeah I get it you’re following someone obviously you'd want your full attention on the person. But at the same time, V could've easily just said one or two lines and played along. This is a very silly one but when after you kill the Cyberpsycho in a High-End Store. He pretends to talk to the Cop and instead of letting Johnny play along(I know this is a choice I'm talking specifically about how this is a choice) V just shuts him down like I don't know what they could've put in this moment but like I feel like we could've just let him also answer the question with us or take his answers as suggestions.

      I find Wakako to be the fixer with the dodgiest morals. The Evelyn choice was straight up awful especially when relatively little digging would have found the connection to Lizzies/Mox and thus Judy.
      Then there's the conversation with Rogue that you overhear when entering her business. This strongly suggests she is more involved with Tyger Claws' day-to-day activities than she initially appears.
      In her call after the Olive Branch gig it seems she was well aware of the true nature of the "gift". So as well as helping a Scav do a favour for the Claws, she deliberately mislead V as to the nature of the job.
      Plus there's her client involved in a messy divorce who murders his wife. As you can encounter her body *before* the gig, it seems to be a scrambled attempt to keep funds out of her estate rather than depriving his ex of undeserved funds.

      Bear in mind Evelyn was effectively comatose by the time she was handed over to Fingers, and had already been abused by Woodman.

    #9 is definitely the worst. Dexter thought it was a good idea to hire noobs to rob Arasaka in the Kempaki Plaza hotel and wipe his hands clean when things went sideways. From what I know, Dexter got his idea from Evelyn who got her idea from the Voodoo Boys. Evelyn planned to betray Dexter and cut him from the profits. I don’t think it was mentioned what Dex was planning to do with the loot. Voodoo Boys wanted it to use it to communicate to Alt Cunningham to get the Voodoo Boys past the black wall.
    Overall, Voodoo Boys were too cautious and it ended up being their downfall (depending on your choice), Evelyn was a fool to mess around with people you know little about, and Dex was just a child sitting at the grownups table.

    "hands down" mr hands is the best fixer in terms of character.
    But when it comes to gigs, i am all out for dino. All of his jobs are like "get in, steal one thing or kill one guy, get out". The jobs are so easy that you can just use one "distract enemies" quickhack and open your way entirely to the main goal, therefore completing it fast and stealthily. Most of his gigs has a stealth bonus, so that means fast and easy 20k per job.
    Overall, his jobs can be done really fast and the payout is godly for the start of your playthrough, so dino always will be my first go to fixer whenever i start a new save.

An experimental tech that is never meant to be released to the public? This shit is so hot that even If they somehow we're able to get it who would actually be dumb enough to buy it from them?

    Rogue has facilitated no less than 3x break-ins of Arasaka Tower: 1) to try and save Alt, 2) to set off the nuke, 3) to help V in Johnny's ending and has no problem getting her hands dirty.
    Meanwhile, as smart and conniving as Mr.Hands is, he depends _a lot more_ on V to expand his influence in Dogtown.
    Mr.Hands is a big fish in a medium sized pond... if said pond was full of hungry sharks and saltwater crocodiles, but Rogue is the Blue Whale. You don't get called the "Queen of Night city" lightly.
    Also, the Konpeki Plaza heist ONLY failed due to the _completely unexpected and unscheduled_ arrival of Saburo. I wouldn't expect any other fixer to think twice about killing us to get Arasaka off their back. Placing Dexter last based on an event that literally nobody could have predicted is something I don't agree with. *Imo, Dex > Dino at worst.*

    I mean, to be fair to Dex, the heist went south not because both Jackie and V were inexperienced but because the heist went south with Saburo Arasaka being done in by his own son which was not in anyone's playbook at that point of time. No one knew Saburo would appear and no one expected him to be offed in the process of that.
    What people don't understand is that the Tyger Claws are not just Yakuza-like, they're actually a mix of both Triad AND Yakuza being rolled into one gang.
    Night City is being set in California and in California alone, there's a huge Chinese, Japanese and Korean population thus when the Tyger Claw set stone in NC, it became a hotbed for Japanese and Chinese gangbangers to join the ranks thus if you look at the structures of Tyger Claw, it's more towards the Triad organizational structures but when it comes down to how they conduct business, it's more of the Yakuza ways.
    Also, the netrunner that Wakako vouches for and wants you to find is a parody of "Chan Ho-nam", the legend triad boss of Causeway Bay and the protagonist of the "Young and Dangerous" series that talks about Triad warfare in Hong Kong.

    Regina: She does have the most screentime out of the bunch, but she's one of the more fair and honest fixers. I really like how she's willing to try and make NC a better place by exposing the truth, and legitimately wants to find treatment for cyberpsychosis. I'd work for her.
    Dex: Traitor. He always prefers to take the easy way out and leave everyone else in the dust (V, Rhino and T-Bug). He always talks about honesty, but is just a massive liar. Vik was 100% right about Dex. And yet, he's not even the most detestable fixer as that honour goes to...
    Wakako: Finding out she's the one to sell Evelyn off to the Scavs after Fingers puts her on the same level as Woodman, Joanne and Jotaro. I get a visceral reaction whenever interacting with her, Dex may be a coward, but Wakako is straight-up evil. Her gigs are alright though.
    Muamar: Like Regina, he's one of the more honest fixers, genuinely caring for his people and wanting to make his community better (his reaction in the Family Matters gig is bittersweet). That said, he has the worst fashion sense; a bowl-cut mullet with trousers like that??!! I wouldn't work for him based on the fact I'd laugh too much about what he's wearing.
    Mr Hands: From the bits I've seen from Phantom Liberty, he's probably the best fixer. He's not as morally good like Regina or Muamar, but I love his professionalism, but also how he's willing to step in for V if things get tough. On my last-gen version tho, he's nothing special.
    Dakota: Easily he most likeable fixer, her voice and way of words is so soothing. And I love her endearment for her community, but that's to be expected from a Nomad. Probably has the best and most varied gigs on-average too, any gig that makes me go after Wraiths is good enough for me.
    Padre: He may be a hypocrite and may be extremely dishonest but man, his charisma is so good. I could listen to his poetic way of speaking all day. I love his relationship with (Street Kid) V, and he's probably tied with Dakota with having the best gigs in the game.
    Dino: Definitely the funniest fixer, but not exactly a good person, preferring to work alongside corpos despite having a rockerboy aesthetic. Still, any guy that makes me go after someone as evil as Joanne places Dino pretty high on being likable.
    Rogue: Separating my thoughts on her as a character since they're separate from her fixer position, I actually respect her pragmatism in order to get to where she is. Her gigs are alright, thought they would've had more variety considering they're supposed to be 'elite' jobs.
    On a scale of being most likeable and the most likely for me to work for:
    Dakota
    Regina
    Muamar
    Mr Hands
    Rogue
    Dino
    Padre
    Dex
    Wakako
    Best Gigs on-average (from a PS4 perspective):
    Padre

    Dino
    Regina
    Muamar

    I think Hands and Rogue have to be considered separately from the other fixers. Hands was totally redeveloped for Phantom Liberty, giving him more time in-game than any other fixer, plus his gigs are some of the best. Rogue's such an integral part of the story that she has a larger pretense than any other fixer. She wasn't added as a regular fixer until 1.53, with her own set of gigs to give us. And much like Hands, Rogue benefits from us getting some better-than-usual assignments for our V, the product of the dev's having less crunch and more knowledge of how players expected the game to go.
    Of the rest, I can't argue too much. Dex was always going to land on the bottom, no matter what, for the disaster of Konpeki Plaza. Dino gets us the fewest jobs, we don't really get much development from him either. Do get a terrific Easter egg, and a nice car. Padre, I used to think was one of the best but I'm going to have to agree with you-after getting the job to off Gustavo, you realize he's got no loyalties to anyone but himself. Wakkako? It's when you realize you're mostly helping her keep her kids in charge of the Tyger Claws, and what kind of evil bitch she is for what happened to Evelyn, that you understand she's no better than Padre. Dakota, I thought was-okay. She's probably the one, besides Hands, you'd feel you could have a conversation with. El Capitan, to me, is much better developed post-Phantom Liberty and you understand him better. I even forgive him for his whining about me being late with a car even though I'm being shot at by some goinks. Which leaves Regina, who gives us the most jobs, plus her own set of side hustles, and the best single present for completing her gigs

    Just for reference, since many English native speakers don’t seem to understand. Romance language speakers will always have and use vocabulary that is considered and perceived as “classy” or similar, even if said speaker has extremely limited vocabulary. The reason is very simple. English has essentially reserved all Latin words for the upper class while the German words were used by the peasants. Centuries of this tradition have lead to English native speakers to automatically associate the use of the Latin words with something prestigious.

    But boy oh boy, he went from silly and cynical man on his middle age crisis to one of the most interesting not only fixers but also characters overall in the whole of Cyberpunk, truly now only getting a proper face reveal but also him showing true friendship and loyalty make you feel really valued, like man I really feel now like a real top Solo, who cares what Rogue says.
    Yeah, I guess I just hate Johnny and all of his associates, except Kerry, pretty tight guy, so it may be that, but I still like Regina more than Rogue, her ideal of neutralizing cyber psychos in order to study them and make sure cyber psychosis could become a thing of the past, her interesting gigs and I kinda like more her character, but Machine Gun will remain incomplete for the rest of time because Skippy is that cool of a character.
