There's just something special about this game that has kept me playing thru 7 runs and almost 800 hours so far. This is what I imagined back in the 90's playing the Tabletop version, and just hopping on a bike and roaring out into the bad lands to watch the stars can fill hours of my time. As much as I'll always revere Gary Gygax for the wonder of D&D, Mike Pondsmith created something that grabbed me immediately and has led me to the Cyberpunk novels of Gibson/ Stevenson/ and many others over the decades. This game has so much knowledge secreted away if you pay attention, so many threads to follow, it never gets old. I can't wait to see what the new Orion game has in store, and even if V isn't a part of it, I will be more than happy to create a new character and explore the next chapter they create. Awesome video about the history of Night City, and the shady deals that went on back then.

[@theguywhomakesthetrees2057]

You fucking get it dude.. I know it was really flawed. Downright Shocking how incomplete it seemed even. BUT THE RP made me love this game day one on a base ps4 I fucking loved the City, the characters, how V interacted with all of it to play out the story

[@jamegumb7298]

Finished 3× so far, getting my 4th now, with Phantom Liberty. It will likely be my last unless I return much later but it will not be for quite some time. The city and setting is great, but like many other games (Fallout 3+, Witcher, Skyrim) I never get the wow feeling of grandeur that I did get in Arma 3, Test Drive Unlimited 2 and especially Fuel. Yes travel times are longer, but you can really get lost in a large world. Unlikely it would be a thing for consoles though.

What if the body isn’t Morgan blackhand but, instead it’s Morgan blackhand’s construct inside a random corpo’s body. It’d explain why nobody recognizes him and why his character model is named after him.

[@silusatrium]

For me it's the option I like the most. That Mr Blue Eyes is controlled by Rogue AIs beyond the Blackwall. Night Corp tried to do it in their project, but actual rogue AIs breached the Blackwall and are now controlling Night Corp, or at least very influtential people inside and outside of Night Corp...maybe even other corporations too. But I would like to see a corporation, maybe Arasaka, given its resources, to be aware of this rogue AI plan, maybe even connecting to Yorinobu and the dramatic events of the game...the possibilities are just endless in such a fascinating concept!

Sending songbird to the moon followed by the reaper seems to be the possible canon ending i just wish we gonna get more also in the spaceport there are other people with blue eyes one pointing the camera at you

[@EternalNightingale]

There’s a theme of “secret” endings in game where it’s the probable most likely canon like in Mass effect with Shepard being alive, I think corpo V soloing saka tower could very well be canon and makes most sense playing the whole game and PL with corpo V than nomad or street kid, still feel when CDPR will decide what to make canon they’ll be bleak about what happened to V just like how Morgan blackhand is in 2077 if V isn’t the main protagonist next game but I feel they will be and CDPR can take V to phenomenal levels of badass

[@human3504]

@@EternalNightingale I'm just a uneducated fool but I don't think CDPR would give all these connections but sweep it under the rug. DFTR seems connected to helping Songbird and we keep seeing Blue Eyes. Why keep showing this guy seems important. Then again I am still playing and learning the lore of this game that just leaves me with questions.

[@salmon_wine]

@@EternalNightingale maybe thats true but canon V would absolutely be Streetkid V - V acts streetkid regardless of what backstory you pick in the current game anyways, and having connections to Padre makes V more believable as rising so quickly in NC... Also, Streetkid V and Nomad both make the dynamic more interesting in Johnny since they really do have nothing in common (unlike Johnny and Corpo V) which makes their eventual bonding as they change into each other much more fascinating

[@jagerfromgsg945]

@@salmon_wineI think corpo V is the best V imo. I feel like a lot of how you play story games like this is just sorta filling in information on your own, making a story in some way for your character. I think the story that corpo V gets booted for corpo bs, and then going to rob Arasaka is a cool story. It’s made even cooler if you do the reaper ending. Any ending kinda makes some sense if you choose corpo v. Raiding the tower alone? Last chance to stick it to Saka. Leave NC with Panam? Corpo V knows there are no winners in NC. Side with saka? Can’t entirely leave the life behind. I think it’s the best and seeing the ex corpo V being unwillingly teamed ip with extremely anti corpo Johnny.

Morgan Blackhand was captured, it's his memories you are seeing from the aircraft carrier leaving Night City, when the nuke goes off in the corpo tower. Johny's mind was uploaded to the chip back at the tower before Morgan was captured.

[@mohdshahariar5833]

Nah he survived, if he was captured Adam would be boasting about it. I'm pretty sure the alteration of the engram happened through angels tampering and radiation. Angel is the biggest link here to how johnny survives.

[@olknoxlo]

There's rumors Blackhand has been seen helping reconstruction efforts.

[@ShadowMTR]

Morgan Blackhand was present during the attack on Arasaka Tower in 2023, but is completely absent from Johnny's memory in game. In addition to this, there also seems to be various gaps or errors in Johnny's perspective of events, which has been attributed to radiation damage, errors in copying his engram, and him being an unreliable narrator. However, if it were just errors in Johnny's memory, why is Blackhand completely absent from the entire attack, and all of Johnny's memories throughout the game? I wonder if this could be related to Nightcorp's mind control technology, is it possible they could have erased Blackhand's presence from Johnny's memory, or altered it in other ways?

[@grilledleeks6514]

Arasaka had Johnny's engram for a while. They could have edited a lot

this was so my favorite mystery in cyberpunk. really hoped that DLC would explore this. here's to project orion...

[@ScorpionTechReviews]

See, there's one very interesting link that I don't really see explored anywhere. Namely, the eyes. It's the same eyes that the dolls have when they are controlled by the personality chip implanted in them. That practically tells you that Mr. Blue-Eyes and his kind are likely just hosts for someone or something else. It could be that they're being used by a local program - and considering what complex interaction the doll chips allow for, there's zero doubt that significantly more can be achieved. Or it could be that they're controlled remotely. Just like Hanako remote-controlled that doll when talking to V in the main storyline. But does this give us anything? Why yes, I think it really does. While you rightly point out that Richard Night wasn't soul-killed, there's no guarantee that another technology wasn't used - like mapping out his brain, for instance, or recreating his personality in the digital realm by various means. It wouldn't work as well as Soulkiller, but it could work well enough. And that's before you even consider that he didn't actually die in '98. His killer was never caught, but that's not the main thing. His life was constantly threatened and it was a matter of time until someone actually succeeded. You can't kill what's already dead, so his "death" took care of the threat. The wife took over and followed in his footsteps, which sounds mighty convenient, to have someone who intimately knows their partner's business strategies, etc. I think we can safely say that it's well within the realm of probability that he just staged his own death and led from the shadows ever since. And it's a much smarter move than what Saburo ever did. Saburo was out in the open, a clear, visible, tangible target. The "already dead" Richard Night can't even be a target at this point for his enemies. And since Saburo survived much longer than Richard Night, living well over 100 years for someone with that kind of money and influence. It's even likely that he's still around in 2077 and that he's using people with the doll implant or a similar technology. He can probably even switch between multiple hosts on the fly since the personality chip can take over when needed. And what better way is there for someone like Richard to keep an eye on things and keep them on-track from the shadows? It could also be AIs, from beyond the Blackwall or not.

@@AveChristusRex789 If they continue with Vs story it is most likely going to have something do with the crystal palace heist. He gets contracted by blue eyes (who is a pawn for an advanced but trapped AI) to break out the AI from a wealthy family who lives in the crystal palace. There are three possible reasons for V to do this. The first one a promise to remove chip. The second to remove the chip before the heist but at the same time sowing in toxic sacs that will slowly release poison. The third would continue from the ending where V successfully removes the chip. Mr blue eyes therefore restores their ability to use cyberwear along with the toxic sacs.

The interesting thing about the rogue AI theory is that so far we ALWAYS see red colors. The Blackwall (which is an AI), Alt, Songbird, the core, the Cerberus robot, etc. are all depicted as red. Songbirds eyes are red too, not blue. Minor detail? Perhaps. But maybe it's also a clue that either the blue eyed ppl are not AI or, at the least, not ROGUE AI from beyond the Blackwall. Imagine different AI working behind the scenes to protect humanity FROM the rogue AIs. They are morally more neutral and ends justifies the means sort of entities, thereby explaining why they do horrible things to ppl like Jeffersons. It's for the good of the collective. Just my 2 cents!

think i'll be giving this one a listen later on tonight, just from the title and timestamps alone you seem to be pretty even with my thoughts on all this mess. Im eager to see how you piece it all together, because i just dont get how mr blue eyes, nightcorp, and morgan blackhand all match up.

[@olknoxlo]

My theory is the blue eyed individuals have had their consciousness uploaded and merged with an AI. They're consciousnesses being streamed to bodies, Hence the always glowing blue eyes meaning they're always receiving and sending data. Modern Neural links and Processors can only handle so much, so the actual consciousnesses are kept in a similar program to Mikoshi, Where they stream themselves into bodies. Could be their own bodies, Or even a stream of clones bodies. Cloning is extremely common in the 2045 tabletop setting (You can have a severed arm regrown and reattached for around a hundred eurobucks) , So canonically it's had another 32 years to advance beyond that.There's even mentions of Night Corp and Biotechnica working together in partner projects at times, So there's another cloning link. I believe Night Corp uses Neural Ports to reconfigure peoples minds and build towards Night City being a utopia to survive the coming fifth corporate war and fall of the Black Wall. It's a twisted version of the benevolence Richard Night envisioned, A Utopia of perfectly configured drones operating unknowingly beneath A.I. enhanced consciousnesses. There is a lot of possibilities, Especially when you look into the broader canon. Bartmosses corpo-drones, The REAPER A.I. (A Netrunner that merged with Rabbids and became a sentient murderous AI Featured in CP RED), And an A.I. Vending machine created by a University student with a 'bio-organic neurochip' he stole from the lab. The theories can go so deep.

[@Heresiarches9274]

Cant say I wasn't expecting you to make this video.What I take from all these appearances is that sending Songbird to the moon,and the Dont fear the reaper with the Crystal palace intro are the canon choices,firstly because they set the dominoes for the next game in the saga.Also I hope we get in some way (as an intro mission in Orion for example,the Crystal Palace heist that was cut from being dlc.).

After playing the DLC, you get to see how shockingly grim the situation is. The cyberpunk universe is doomed. These AI's are extremely powerful, and brilliantly, it seems every weapon can be entirely controlled by them. That's just the beginning what happens when these AIs take control of the factories. Start improving themselves. The wall has failed, if anything; it's just a facade at this point. We've seen that a powerful AI can pass through it "Alt" could.

i think one of Mr blue eyes pupose in the game is to take control of big corporations , especially Arasaka in this game which we see that he succeded in the ending when we meet him , I think the real bomb for arasaka is the Relic containing a programmed psyche of Silverhand by CN-07 , i think Hellman made some modification to the relic to become the next bomb , ( maybe Yorinobu tried that Relic that's why he was Holding much hatred for Arasaka & killed his father) , i think hellman linked CN-07 to the Relic to take control of Saburo's psyche (because it was designed for him , that's why some Ai can see through V's eyes & show her signs (tarot cards) , Hellman didn't complete working in the chip that's why V is not entierly controlled by the chip, also the relic is linked to the Ai beyond the blackwall we can't shoot mr blue eyes when we meet Jefferson peralez , when Alt removes Johnny engram who's possibly inffected , V lost her connection to the Ai this is when Mr blue eyes comes personaly to meet V . (this just a theory i could be wrong ).

I think MR. BlueEays have deal with SoMi thats why even if my heart say save her my brain say Reed is better option. It is like in Witcher3 where you save one person and then goung back you see that all village is gone.

[@MaleficMurph]

The only "good" ending for SoMi may be the one where you kill her as it's the only one where she isn't being used

Let the next game be a rogue AI invasion with Horror elements

[@eugeneaubry4308]

You are the best an I honestly believe your theory will be correct. Blue eyes has been set up so well that them sliding into the next game as a main fixer slash antagonist is very easy. If V is still continued in that then the path to glory ending will definitely be the cannon ending.

[@EternalNightingale]

Orion opens up start of the heist on the palace with V would be a cool intro for the next game and blue eyes talking to V guiding them, path of glory ending makes most sense if V was a corpo, the revenge and taking down saka fits so well with corpo V aswell as other aspects in the game things make more sense

[@eugeneaubry4308]

@EternalNightingale I agree on the intro super easy and very cool way to start the game. The life path is open to interpretation honestly. Because you can make a argument the whole legend aspect really makes sense for street kid V. A corpo wouldn't necessarily want to be a legend they would be more about business , Eddie's, and efficiency. The scar face type dreams an doing super big legendary heists would be a street kid line of thinking. Plus street kid has the most logical explanation for how V and Jackie are friends. I would love to see the life paths return I just want to see them mean more. For example certain quest lines would only be available for certain life paths. More solutions that are only available to certain life paths. More key interactions that are only available to certain life paths. I wish the first game even had different best friends . The one thing I hate is they use jackie in every life path imagine if every life path had a different starting best friend that eventually does the beginning tower heist with you. Would have been super cool an make the choice more impactful.

Hey I just noticed something. Just before speaking to Jefferson I went to V’s apartment and watched the News it triggered a story about space pirates stealing things from the casino thingy, some prototypes.. weird triggering now? And he sends us to the same place to steal something for him, did they find out that they need more things? Did the pirates fumble and now they need someone more capable? I am 75% that this news story didn’t trigger before.

[@malachirobinson7323]

I think mr blue eyes is a Ai controlled avatar possibly from beyond the black wall. He is one of many avatars im sure that are all controlled by this singular AI. I believe NightCorp made a deal with this AI to restore their influence ideals and control over Night City in exchange for something the Ai wants. In Cyberpunk we see many human faction making deals with ai as they are impossible to truly be controlled due to how highly evolved and intelligent they are compared to even augmented humans. Problem is when you make a "deal" with something so much more intelligent to you its impossible to know if you are being played or made a pawn in a grander over arching scheme beyond your perception. I suspect the Night corp "controlled" Ai that powers mr blue eyes and other avatars has its own separate agenda piggybacking off Night Corps naivety.

[@zeropolicy7456]

I'm almost certain that Mr. Blue-Eyes is behind the entire plot of the game. They facilitated everything from V's transition to mercenary life, to VDB getting wind of the fact that they need Alt to breach the Blackwall, to making sure that Saburo would show up unexpectedly on the night of the heist. So many things had to line up just right for the game to happen. So many details have been left unexplained. So many lifelines just _happen_ to fall into V's lap just when he needs them to. The fact that Dex specifically requested V's team for the Relic job is suspicious as all hell considering they were essentially nobodies up to that point. How did Smasher _not_ see them? How did Mamon learn that she needed Alt to breach the Blackwall, and that she'd need Johnny's engram to do it? Why was Johnny's engram even on the relic in the first place? How is it the Kang Tao transport happened to fly over NC in the perfect place for V to intercept? How is it Panam, the ONE ex-Nomad merc in NC, just happened to find herself in the perfect situation to cooperate with V? Someone, or something, orchestrated all these moving parts. There are way too many coincidences and perfect timings for V's story to just have been a string of extreme luck and happenstance. And with the tech we saw in Dream On, I'm almost positive that this tech was utilized to set everything in motion.

[@crimsonphoenix8907]

that sounds way too insane honestly, I can see the prologue with Dex being part of Mr. Blue Eyes’ machinations but everything after that is just too much in my opinion 😅

[@zeropolicy7456]

@@crimsonphoenix8907 That's okay. I get it sounds crazier than the dude outside Misty's Esoterica. But, it's my own way of explaining away what looks like very bad writing in the over use of coincidence and luck. Lol.

[@EternalNightingale]

If that’s the case then blue eyes is a dev writer at CDPR 😆

[@Jwallworth]

Maybe a little inspiration from the half-life franchise! They’ve already paid homage to portal with glados being in the game. But this mr blue eyes seems very ‘gman’ to me. And gman played a very similar role in half life. Being a higher power that is orchestrating things to fall into place at certain times. Be interesting to get deeper into it!

[@MaleficMurph]

Fun fact in 1.0 (might still be in 2.1) there was a piece of cyberware that would highlight enemies who were detecting you and during "The Heist" Adam Smasher can in fact see you and looks directly at you the entire time you are hiding

Ow pineapple banana if it tastes anything like them two flavours that should be good, some of their flavours can be not as advertised but there are some nice ones (I know taste is a mater of taste but you know what I mean) my 2favs so far have been clickbait and blue raspberry (I wouldn’t say it tastes like raspberry but I like that zing taste that blue stuff has also I swear I can taste a bit of banana in it) I’ve tried like 5 other flavours and none of them taste bad. The same can’t be said for Sneak 🤮 I tried their cherry and it had the oddest taste, the closest I can pin it down is malt it taste like someone mixed Horlick with a cherry drink and them to flavours shouldn’t be mixed.

​@rishabhgond3750 V isn't the protagonist even in their own game. They're the window we use to see it, but the protagonist of Cyberpunk is Night City itself. Everything that happens in game is more important to NC than it is to V, V is massively insignificant in the grand scheme of events and that's a deliberate choice.
