considering he's like johnny but in his own body, they could technically put him anywhere. they could put him in a robot, like Smasher, or in a host body. V turned into an engram and if you chose to let Johnny take V's body, he will live normally. all they really need is to move the engram of V into a compatible body. alt was specific in that his body is dying because of damaged DNA. a bit like radiation sickness.

[@rolandsmash]

When the option originally appeared to call Panam before the final mission, I figured it would be one of those bittersweet scenes where V says goodbye to her and she doesn’t really realize how final that goodbye is. I was anticipating a lonely conclusion for V. So imagine my delight when Panam swoops in, saves his ass, and enlists the aid of her entire “family.” Suddenly V’s world gets so much bigger and kinder. It’s a nice reminder that there are people in this world who you can really count on, who will lay it all on the line to save you. I was not expecting this ending at all, and it wound up being the best part of the game.

[@CodeguruX]

It's pretty much the only ending that makes sense. And it especially makes since with the Corpo V. He gets fucked over by Corps. He gets fucked over by the fixer crowd. He sees Jackie die right next him chasing the dumb ass dream of making a name for yourself in hell so no one forgets you. At that point, he has the valid mindset and over-all knowledge of how Night City works. Then, and only then, can he properly conduct a self-retrospective and decide to fully trust in someone who is not tied to Night City. The entire game follows him searching for solutions that aren't there. Ones that will never be there. And one by one his friends get taken down or simply demoralized to remain trapped in hell. He may end up dying, or he may end up finding a solution. The only relevant part is that now he has a reason to live, or simply a reason to fight, and therefore removes himself from the comfortably dull no-win scenario. I might add, that if you for some reason pick a female character, the equivalent ending has her basically throwing her life away. Judy seduces female V into staying in hell to keep her company until she dies. And most likely when that DOES happen, because there are no solutions in Night City, Judy will kill herself. The Panam ending is THE ending simply because V escapes the narrative. In a life full of worthless shit in a corrupt environment, his character is finally allowed to progress to the next step. Whatever the hell that step is.

[@milanbergh]

Finished the game this morning and been thinking about this ending the whole day today. Exactly this. It was so wholesome to share one last mission with her, although I was almost tempted not to call her so she wouldn't die trying to help me. Panam is a star.

Man, the ending when V goes with Alt is the absolute saddest one. When Johnny goes to V's grave, for some reason makes me cry every time, just imagining the breadth and depth of the pain they both felt, V as he parted the world and everyone in it, and Johnny ... I almost feel like this is a version of Hell for Johnny... forced to see the person who got dealt a fate worse than death just so he could live another day. And you can tell just how heavily it weighs on his conscience by his speech at the grave. Only reason why Johnny can't off himself at this point is that it would make V's sacrifice all the more painful, so he has to live a life worth living, but can never really enjoy it knowing it wasn't his in the first place. Tragic end for both of them.

Nah, he’ll die if he goes this path. If Arasaka world class neurosurgeons in orbit couldn’t save you what makes you think running off into the desert will help. His best bet and thus his best way of surviving and living a full life with Panam and the nomads is the secret ending. By obtaining so much fame and wealth he might be able to buy his way out of his doom. The Crystal Palace ending seems to infer that it’s a heist that’ll grant V untold amounts of wealth and influence with Mr. Blue Eyes suggesting a way out for V at a few points in his dialogue with V in the epilogue. “Don’t Fear The Reaper” is the most badass, responsible, and narratively consistent ending for V.

[@tinheart2853]

It shouldn't be that big of a problem. We just need to steal some tech from Arasaka and maybe kidnap few scientists who know how to use it. If Arasaka is in trouble in Nomad ending, then its scientists will scatter around the world with some tech to buy themselves safety, so they should be easy targets

[@MysticalApple]

I honestly dont think there will be a V lives DLC, but I do believe that there will be a DLC where you play as Johnny in V's body after the events of the game

[@Dan-jc3iu]

I had this as my first (and main) ending with female V and judy romance and that's what I have in my head as what happens. I just wished things ended better with Johnny, although I had a good relationship with him the final dialougue between V and him was quite negative/harsh.

[@fredxu99]

​@@tinheart2853 The one part that kinda sits strangely with this ending is you fly really, really, really under the radar for your feats. I mean, you raided Arasaka tower, killed Adam Smasher, blew up their flagship project Mikoshi, and escaped intact with your Nomad grease monkeys. That's gotta warrant a few turned heads. My guess is they'll have Mr. Blue Eyes contact us about some job, maybe not the Casino Heist because that's likely above Nomad V's paygrade, but some kind of job in exchange for a cure. You book it back to the city, and the DLC starts there. This also could followup after the Casino Heist from Afterlife V's ending too. Probably the easiest "loose end" for them to tie the ending paths together, seeing as they like to do converging story paths for this game.

[@gx4012]

Panam is a man’s dream wife honestly. Also in the end when we have that moment with Johnny and he comforts you to live out your life is just a real brotherly moment. That whole ending honestly gave me goosebumps and it’s annoying nobody talks about how good the story is

For me, the best ending is a tie between this and Johnny's ending. Though I would only pick Johnny's ending if V has nothing to keep him going. With Panam's ending, he has a family and a chance at survival (especially since Aldecaldos have some great contacts in the nanotech research).

[@Volkbrecht]

The way the Johnny-endings are written I should think they are what is supposed to happen. V. is just a throwaway character. No solid backstory, no future. Completely forgettable. But Silverhand? Legendary self-centered bastard, gets humbeled by the experience of the journey with V., goes on to live a better, meaningful life. That's quite the arch.

[@Nobody00061]

I agree, V will die anyways, so is better to give silver hand a long life. (Unless they give a solid close like they did with the witcher) is like, c'mon you spent the whole game trying to survive but at the end nothing could help you so I doubt that a bunch of nomads will do something better.

[@thermicterror2951]

@@Volkbrecht I'd argue differently. Johnny already had his chance at life and he accepts that. Johnny wants to make sure v doesn't make the same mistakes he did. 6 months to live isn't a lot but Johnny already died once and he knows those 6 months will be the most meaningful months of Vs whole life. I mean just look at what happened to Arthur morgan in read dead after he was diagnosed with tb. He started seeing things differently. He realised what mattered. The pannam ending already starts to show this happening to v. V gives up on being the best merc. He doesn't care about the major leagues anymore. He chooses to leave with his family because he wants to spend the time he has left with them. That is character development. If johhny lives what is he going to do?. What has he learnt from v? Settle down and have a life, thats not really something he'd have picked up from v and if he keeps on fighting then nothings changed.

Take your wife/girlfriend and run away if you want to. If she truly loves you, she will go with you. Or, you can run away first and find your ideal lover during the way. Your pick. I will go with the second option, because I tried the first one and succeeded. You don't often have someone who is willing to run away with you though. It's a very romantic scenario but also a very far away dream. I think that the second option(running away first) sounds easier for some people. But how are you gonna deal with loneliness? You got what Iam saying? We should lose our mind like this more often and run away with someone we love. Also, some people will say that you should grow up and stop daydreaming or sth like that. Those people don't know what the hell they are talking about, so be vigilent.

[@cpuccino]

Still the best ending even after phantom liberty’s release :(

[@Rusnar]

Phantom Liberty is the only ending where V is V and not an engram that was copied into V's body though. So if we don't count that, this is still the best ending. But if Mikoshi kills V as a person, then Alt just copies and pastes his engram into the body then... every ending is bad apart from Phantom Liberty. Plus, Panam ending kills a lot of people helping V on the way

[@AlphaAceEX]

only like 3-5 people died, other than that the aldercados is pretty big and the only casualties is the vets that already will to die anyways since they even said they dont fear death anymore due to the chem cocktails during the war. Also panam ending shows you looking for help outside the city, making it another hopeful ending. Also you need to remember how you considers one a good ending is also the outcomes with other characters, in phantom liberty ending, you betrayed most of the old and new cast , making them worse so imo makes it a very bad ending to me@@Rusnar

My first character was a male Nomad, and this was my ending. It felt really appropriate to the tarot theme running through the game. I started my journey looking forward as I came to Night City (The Fool), and ended my journey looking back as I left it (The World).

[@LarsRubarth1]

the tarot theme is quite interesting, as all arkana are related to some sort of major side quest. they are always close by, when shit hits the fan.

Aldecaldo DLC!! At least give us a chance to save ourself CDPR. I've spent so many hours on my V and hearing 'so yeah.. you got six month left to live. Have a great day, bb.' is so damn unsatisfying. Feels empty as hell. Kind of confusing for me that CDPR said the game itself is finished. Most of the endings feel like cliffhangers.

[@stanners1714]

I don’t really see how this ending is unsatisfying, at all. Bittersweet and sad/hopeful endings are perfectly good ways to conclude a story, and I think the way they do it in this ending is about as good as they come. What alternative ending would you want? An overwhelmingly happy ending with every single thread tied up? Not only would that be unrealistic for the the cyberpunk genre, it wouldn’t leave anything open for the future.

My true/first ending was leaving with Panam. I didn't know of any of the other endings and just naturally migrated to that outcome. It's still the best by a mile. I mean, Johnny was the invader, it's V's life/body, and he gets to be with the girl leaving NC behind. It's all win.

[@realdude6145]

Exactly though I always thought it was so unfair for V that he was so unlucky some could say Johnny was too but he kinda put himself in that situation and I guess you could say V did too but Like Johnny said himself his time was over the world forgot about his sacrifice and their was no room for him anymore, V’s choice to stand against Arasaka is the best choice because at least he did something Johnny also strives to do and killed Adam smasher I think V did more than enough for Johnny to be at Peace it was sad to part with him if you have a high relationship with him, but realistically if this was my body your not getting to keep it, especially when he keeps your features after taking over completely.

[@judostar11]

This is definitely my favourite ending and that Tarot card reading at the end definitely gives you hope that they will find a cure too. I also romanced Judy in my first playthrough and she joined up too and her video call during the end credits shows her so happy too. I definitely thing that the one where you become a legend of night city is way less bittersweet if you romanced River or Kerry because, iirc, they don't leave you but Panam and Judy do. However, they do end up leaving you if you choose to leave Night City too (iirc).

[@joshjmilli]

The music in the last cutscene made me feel some kind of way. For some reason, after this ending, I couldn’t settle, couldn’t stop thinking about it. The characters in this game are so good, that I just want to continue playing V’s story and keep developing his relationships with other characters. That’s what this game did extraordinarily well, made me feel truly connected. This is something 99% of other games haven’t managed to achieve for me. I know we’ll probably never get to experience life with the nomads, but damn I’d love to see more of V and Panam. The development of their relationship throughout the game was so good. It really felt like a true development, rather than a cheap typical love story. Well done CDPR, I cannot frickin wait for more Cyberpunk!

The story of this game really hits me in the feels. I can empathize with some characters, especially the kid in the Johnny ending. And the situation the main character V is put in during the story made me question what I would do in that scenario given that ever happened. I’ve actually grown very attached to some of the characters in the story, which most games don’t have that effect on me like this game did. Aside from all the glitches and the crashes, this game is actually really good. It’s a shame it was released in the state it was. I would have guaranteed this game would have been one of the best games of all time if it wasn’t released in such a rough and broken state. I bought cyberpunk because I was interested, spent close to $71 on it, and i don’t regret it one bit. Even if it’s broken and hardly even playable on my current console. I know CD Projekt Red is working on fixing the bugs and crashes on the game and I hope it goes well for them because this game has potential to be one of the best RPGs of all time. I can’t wait to see what this game has in store for us these next coming months.

I think in all those possible endings after V connects to Mikoshi, the quest is called Changes. V reboots in elevator and then goes up the stairs and sees the same cat twice.

There was a glitch in the matrix when they 'changed' something and Neo saw the same cat twice going up the stairs. Too bad you skipped right over part in your videos.

I really would love to play it so many times just like The Witcher 3 (1100+ hours) but when I know there is no way to save you then I have no reason to play it so many times.
