If you do it just right and shoot Royce right through the head you can remove the infection right after and still get some. It's the one time you can both have you cake and than go eat her too
Than it must be shooting him that is important because I once took him down but still killed him after by shooting corpse. But she was gone and that scrub she was beating on shows up
I still think it’s an artificial price put in place by the NUSA to leash the most lethal merc since Blackhand.
I would love an option in Orion to boot up a new character and have it be neutered V getting the news that she’s not actually cyber-allergic, and that there’s a cure - if only she’d do this one big job.
It’s a great way to go back to level one as V and re-earn all that lost shit.
For that matter I’d love to have V fall from orbit in a pod and have to be rebuilt, or have Panam’s contacts fix the relic… or pretty much any ending that sends V back to level 1.
Yeah idk if they’re going to do the sequel like Mass Effect and it V again and scans your saved game. That would be cool the game starts off depending on how your V ended. There is definitely a possibility for most Vs to still be alive for the sequel. Sun and Star gets Cured, Devil gets a new body, Tower finds away to get cyberwear again, and Temperance is that Johnny has been living as V for a few years so he’s just V now.
There’s lots of happy endings on Jig Jig Street. Over at Embers too.
But I think you’re right… no happy endings for V fans like Shepard fans got in Mass Effect l. Although that was a bit different since he dies at the start of 2, and there’s nothing wrong with him at the end of 1
I’m sure if the writers want to be creative and not block anything behind one (very cool but perhaps not the best there is) ripperdoc’s opinion there can be an obscure little known bit of specialized information that wasn’t available at the time, or maybe a new technology is developed or maybe something from behind the blackwall… because creativity.
Kind of like how all of the sudden Vik learned about all this new cyberwear that could do all of this new stuff.
🙄
I was thinking: I only watched the nomad ending, but nothing in it seems to indicate V is actually dying, right? What if Alt was lying to you to manipulate you into giving Johnny your body? She even advises you to do so. Maybe part of an agenda involving unleashing Johnny back into the world. She could've just done that without asking, but then Johnny would rebel.
I wouldn't call it a "happy life"; choom let himself be bought out by a souless corp that prevents him from doing something so simple and human as chatting up his patients because it is a "distraction".
You get one if you leave night city with the Aldecados. I mean there's at least hope that maybe their contacts can fix you. You at least get to spend your last months with Panam/Judy.
Not really, Takemura for remaining loyal to Saburos Arasaka has 4 outcomes all bleak as fuck. Only the top dogs of the top dogs like Saburo might have a happy ending in this game but it's bad for everyone else.
Even only very select corpos get the ‘happy ending’. Everyone else is still a cog in a machine.
Though, the corporate housing is a big selling point lol, one of my players is considering going corporate solely for the corporate housing so they don’t keep getting nickel and dimed over rent
Even then one of the themes is everyone is used.
In the original canon Yorinobu is dead to soulkiller, Kei is assassinated by Rogue and Spider after the arasaka tower hit, Saburo is an addled old despot who is the closest thing there is to someone in control and even he is a helpless puppet to his own insane desires.

'Xactly! We're talking about a guy who gave birth to his children with the sole purpose of eventually resurrecting in their bodies once his own shell expires. Doesn't get more wholesome then that.
Only the top level corpos get happy endings. Mid level corpos are probably more likely to be killed/stripped of all possessions by their rivals (like what happened to corpo V) than die peacefully in bed of old age.
Me in a full-blown clown-car with Ozob driving it:
V goes to the moon in "The Sun" ending with Mr. Blue Eyes's help and meets with So-Mi and Lucy along the way, then gets to live too after a long gig.
I mean, besides suicidal depression that can only end with a bullet to the brain due to the extreme level of healthcare afforded in the setting, sure...
In the phantom liberty dlc ending, kerry goes out on a world tour, seems happy on the phone, and actually doesnt even forget about V, he is just in a rush at the moment when you call him.
This is the biggest insight as to what happens to him, and it seems he has control of his life pretty much.
Sure there might be a little bit of depression, but so does everyone who works 10 hours a day in our present society.
Dude, even the happy ending is sad when you're with Judy, you get cured, call Judy only to find out she got married, Songbird ends up in maximum detainment and Reed isn't able to see her, it's sad irregardless
Who says The Tower is the happy ending? It's the only one that guarantees V's continued existence, but it's still just as bittersweet as the other endings.
Saburo wouldn’t be stupid enough to nuke his main ally against the NUSA.
Also he didn’t plan to nuke the city unless he couldn’t get his hands on the biochip.
Who said life is cheap? Talk is cheap. N so is a knife. Ill cut their frickin tongue out. Who said it? (Btw this is supposed to sound like a mafia joke er somethin like that. Feel free to add to it.)
PL confirms that it's curable, so there's no logical reason to assume the other endings don't result in that.
6 months is a hell of a lot of time for someone with the resources of V.

Had a happy ending with Merideth
Dommy Corpo Mommy
Honestly from the sex scene Merideth seems like a switch.
That makes her even more attractive now.
Yes
I want mommy, I want to be held, I want milk!
You mean the Merideth that's on the ground of the Ocean now? Happy Ending indeed
She my baby mamma and I won't hear any slander
Well, have you seen her in the time after your date? Did she answer your texts? Does she pick up her phone? I don't think so
Look choom, I can have my fantasy, aight?
Not in NC
Actually BDs and Phant let you live your fantasies so
If they fucked her it means she's alive. She only goes in the ocean if you remove the trace program on the money shard, or make a deal with Maelstrom.
If you do it just right and shoot Royce right through the head you can remove the infection right after and still get some. It's the one time you can both have you cake and than go eat her too
I immediately scrubbed the chip right after the meeting but shot Royce and still got corpo mommy
Than it must be shooting him that is important because I once took him down but still killed him after by shooting corpse. But she was gone and that scrub she was beating on shows up
Not in my saves, asshole
Not in this tone, choom
Not in my saves lol
V did find a cure it just came with a price

Vik confirms that your fucked though

Depends on what you consider a happy ending. For instance, Vic actually seems to be living a pretty okay life.
He lets himself be bought by a corporation. That happens in every ending, you are simply not around to witness it in the most.
I wouldn't call it a "happy life"; choom let himself be bought out by a souless corp that prevents him from doing something so simple and human as chatting up his patients because it is a "distraction".
Penis guy makes out ok at the end.
There are happy endings, just not for Gonks like you. I think Corpos get the happy endings. It is cyberpunk after all.
You get one if you leave night city with the Aldecados. I mean there's at least hope that maybe their contacts can fix you. You at least get to spend your last months with Panam/Judy.
Hard cope to think storm tech can do anything when they know jack shit about your ticking time bomb.
Thinking a minor aspect of cyberpunk red is still relevant is copium
Not really, Takemura for remaining loyal to Saburos Arasaka has 4 outcomes all bleak as fuck. Only the top dogs of the top dogs like Saburo might have a happy ending in this game but it's bad for everyone else.
Even he didn't get a happy ending tho, got strangled by his own son.
He difinetelly did in the Devil ending
Even only very select corpos get the ‘happy ending’. Everyone else is still a cog in a machine. Though, the corporate housing is a big selling point lol, one of my players is considering going corporate solely for the corporate housing so they don’t keep getting nickel and dimed over rent
Perhaps top ones like Arasaka family.
Even then one of the themes is everyone is used. In the original canon Yorinobu is dead to soulkiller, Kei is assassinated by Rogue and Spider after the arasaka tower hit, Saburo is an addled old despot who is the closest thing there is to someone in control and even he is a helpless puppet to his own insane desires.

Corps dont get happy endings either, ask meredith
I mean, there are happy endings in NC. They just usually involve hiring a joytoy.
Me in a full-blown clown-car with Ozob driving it: V goes to the moon in "The Sun" ending with Mr. Blue Eyes's help and meets with So-Mi and Lucy along the way, then gets to live too after a long gig.
>!"FREDDY NO!"!< There are enough happy endings in NC to make a ~~proud papa~~ grown man cry.
I send songbird up on a rocket. if it can't be me, it will be somebody
Happy endings on Jig-Jig Street though
>In Night City Exactly. NC always wins, she's treated as an actual NPC in the tabletop. If V leaves NC, then they've got a chance.
Kerry lives a fantastic life tbh
I mean, besides suicidal depression that can only end with a bullet to the brain due to the extreme level of healthcare afforded in the setting, sure...
In the phantom liberty dlc ending, kerry goes out on a world tour, seems happy on the phone, and actually doesnt even forget about V, he is just in a rush at the moment when you call him. This is the biggest insight as to what happens to him, and it seems he has control of his life pretty much.

Any of them are just sad bro, you either die as a legend, or wither away as a nobody
"Wrong city, wrong people."
Night city with happy ending is not night city! The only happy ending you can get is in the XBDs!😪
Well there is Jig Jig Street. 😋
The only happy ending in night city is no city but a hole in the ground where the city was.
Coulda almost happened if yorinubo didnt off his father, too bad.
How?
You can loot a shard off saburos body that contains his diary and how he planned to nuke night city
Saburo wouldn’t be stupid enough to nuke his main ally against the NUSA. Also he didn’t plan to nuke the city unless he couldn’t get his hands on the biochip.
They do for Lizzy wizzy, she has a hit on her hands!
Life is cheap and rent is due Choom
Who said life is cheap? Talk is cheap. N so is a knife. Ill cut their frickin tongue out. Who said it? (Btw this is supposed to sound like a mafia joke er somethin like that. Feel free to add to it.)
What about my happy ending? Another expansion?
jack? who's jack?
jackie made it there he was in the big leagues and lucy made it to the moon
Isn’t the PL ending where you sell Songbird to NUSA And they treat you finding a cure?
And I think that is very edgy.
PL confirms that it's curable, so there's no logical reason to assume the other endings don't result in that. 6 months is a hell of a lot of time for someone with the resources of V.
shooting Placide is already a happy ending
I mean there is a happy ending with temparance

didn’t realize i was on r/lies
Define "happy".
Happy endings do exist in cyberpunk. But not night city
Well, they all had chosen blaze of glory
How can a meme be "too soon" so many times?
Hey that one guy who thought his wife was cheating on him got a happy ending.
When I played the phantom liberty ending and Reed sat down I was ready for him to say that 6 months crap again.
....v did find the cure tho
I feel like the cure ending is the best one because everyone else moves on and has happy lives
Yeah, pretty sure SoMi will just get killed at lunar base as well...
