Which is the Best Choice in Cyberpunk?
In the engaging world of Cyberpunk 2077, players have to make choices that dictate the fate of their virtual protagonist, V. There are several significant decisions made throughout the game, but none as crucial as the moment V decides which path to take in the story arc. The options available hinge on V’s relationships and interactions with the characters.
Let Johnny Take Charge
In this scenario, V lets Johnny Silverhand take control, leading V to the Afterlife crew, where V becomes infatuated with Rogue (Jenoiyah Alshay), a fierce warrior. Johnny’s charm and charisma entice players, and many find his personality appealing (), as he effortlessly takes up V’s space, driving V to act impulsively (Worst Ending).
While V and Johnny share affectionate moments, V might start to resent Johnny after realizing he prefers to keep secrets (*) from V, making fans ponder the importance of sharing vulnerabilities. Additionally, many question the trust between partners.
Worst Endings: Hanako, Saburo, and Betrayal
Choosing one of these worst endings might be undesirable, as it involves heavy-handed moral compromises, forced labor, and loss:
- Suicide Endpoint: A life-altering consequence that pushes V far away from allies, further away from any sense of fulfillment.
- Selling Soul: Allowing Hanako’s corporation or the corporation board to benefit at the cost of our beloved protagonist, leading toward the downfall of our trusted heroes.
- Kill and Forget: The demise of beloved friends and alliances while struggling for power makes V feel helpless, adding more stress.
Fighting for Johnny and Corpo
Selecting John’s option creates an opposing reality. Players might ponder:
-
Hanako’s Deal: Join Arasaka to restore some stability in life, yet gain distrust and hostility from characters close to V.
