This is what your character looks like when you log in to a computer

You just need to activate the photo mode to see this funny pose

What’s yalls favorite revolver?

In order my top 3 are:

rosco: puts anyone I shoot with it on their asses and it’s fun using it while in sandy mode.

archangel: very fun to have and use since its full auto. also shreds very nicely.

doom doom: classical. I love this one because it’s an absolute vehicle killer and punches a good amount of holes in whatever I shoot with it.

What does this symbol mean?

It is different than the symbol for the Body attribute. Also I don’t have 9 in any attribute yet.

Hey everyone! Hope you all doing good. I know this has probably been shared quite a few times but still wanted to share for people who havnt seen it and want to use it for a game or the TTRPG or something like that, or are just curious lol :3

Can be found at the border checkpoint in the Nomad origin for those curious. Have a great day!

(P.S sorry if I’ve used the wrong flair!)

i really hope there will be a cyberpunk spin off game about the corpo wars

it would be very interesting to see what the world looks like outside night city and also have a more militarized game
it could have a new character or a character we already know and the gameplay could have a bigger focus on augments

The “no happy ending in Night City” thing is a choice, not a rule. The lore literally hands us a way to save both V and Johnny.

Ok so I’ve been chewing on this for a while and I think the ending’s tragedy doesn’t actually come from the lore, CDPR just wanted a gut punch and picked one, rules be damned. Here’s the breakdown.

How the Relic actually works, since people keep bringing up Saburo like it’s the same situation:

Relic 2.0, the one stuck in V’s head, wasn’t just storage. Per Hellman’s own internal reports it was literally built to install and activate an engram in a new body. Active rewriting, not passive save file. We see it happen on screen: the longer Johnny’s engram sits in V’s body, the more it becomes irreversible because the chip is remodeling V’s body to work for Johnny specifically. That’s the chip changing the architecture to fit the engram, not the engram needing a pre-existing match.

That’s why the “but Saburo needed a genetic match!!” argument doesn’t actually apply here. Saburo’s thing was body-jacking, moving a mind into an already-living, already-developed brain (first tried with Hanako, worked with Yorinobu). Totally different tech being used. V and Johnny have absolutely nothing in common genetically or neurologically and the chip handles it just fine by rewriting instead of matching. If genetic similarity mattered the way people assume, V’s body should be flat out rejecting Johnny’s engram. It’s not rejecting anything, it’s slowly converting. That alone tells you compatibility was never the wall here.

So here’s the fix sitting right there in the game’s own rules:

**•**	Turn V into a pure construct first, soulkill/Mikoshi style. The game already shows this is survivable, Alt’s whole existence proves an engram can persist fine like this  
**•**	Let the relic finish doing what it’s already doing and fully turn V’s original body into Johnny’s  
**•**	Now the problem is just “where does V go.” If you’re worried the body can only get rewritten once (fine, let’s say that’s a hard limit so it doesn’t cause cancer or whatever), that’s not actually a dead end, Arasaka is a corp that runs black sites and disappears people for a living. Getting a second unclaimed body off the street to install V’s construct into is nothing for them. They don’t even blink at way worse stuff throughout the whole game  
**•**	Install V’s construct in that second body using the exact same tailoring process we already watched work on V’s original one  
**•**	Johnny’s out, V’s out, in two different bodies, everybody lives

Nothing here is new tech. No miracle required. Active engram rewriting, construct storage, Arasaka casually acquiring bodies through channels nobody questions, all of it is already in the base game, on screen. The tragic ending isn’t the lore forcing CDPR’s hand, it’s CDPR choosing not to follow their own established rules all the way to the least sad outcome, because “Night City always takes something from you” was the point they wanted to make regardless of what their own tech would actually allow.

I get wanting the theme. Cyberpunk as a genre runs on cynicism. But “we chose the sad ending on purpose” and “the lore requires the sad ending” are two very different things, and I don’t think the second one holds up once you actually look at what the Relic is stated to do.

Somebody tell me what I’m missing here because I’ve gone through this a dozen ways and it keeps holding up.

Why didn't V's Nomad Galena Rattler have CrystalDome Tech?

This car is almost perfect. Good speed, handling and sound combined with the rp elements of it's being V's own modified nomad car and the car you have when you first meet Jackie. Only thing missing is crystaldome so you won't get shot and the windshields won't break when you take shots or crash into things. Had hoped there would be a mod at this point but sadly no.

Walking around.

During my Hell no fast travel play through, Im discovering mini micro content all over the place. Example. I run across two npc talking about his sister hanging with maelstrom. Hes extremely worried about her being on a date with a goon and the other tries to calm him down. Thought nothing about it. 1 block up, I zero 4 maelstrom goons. In thier camp is a dead npc girl half naked. Its very obvious she shouldn't be there .

Then it hit me. I found the dudes sister....

Just little things like this reinforce my belief this is the best rpg I've played. So many tiny details added here and there that didnt mean to be added. Like Panams scars.
