That's not romance, thats rutting. Good example of someone banging easy marks they find hot, but not romance.

Take the nomad for example.

"Help help me! Get revenge for me and listen to me bitch about the family that put up with me being a cow all the time and then risk your life rescuing the guy that is the best dad ever so I can shout at him some more. Gee thx for saving everyone and helping just coz I asked, but you can have no tang!

Finished with you now. Go away"

She's the only realistic one there. The others are as easy as the Mox

Wait, are we talking about the same Panam Palmer here who...

...is complaining about Saul, the leader of the Aldecaldos, selling them out to one of the megacorporations, something the pisses off the other veterans of the clan as well, you helping them trying to get her clan back on track, forcing Saul to eventually admit that Panam was right and making the entire clan swear that they will go through hell for V and in one ending even adopt them into the Aldecaldos?

Yeah, that seemed like an overly cynical description of V's relationship with her. The "Finished with you now. Go away" part is also wrong, considering what happens in at least two of the endings.

Especially when you consider that the Nomad-ending is considered to be the "best" ending by the community, as you now have an entire clan at your side, willing to turn over every stone on search for a cure of V's condition, and depending on your romance choices even have your "output" (the Cyberpunk word for "girlfriend") at your side (either Panam or Judy) which means that even if you don't find a cure V will be surrounded by friends and loved ones if s/he dies...

And even in the Streetkid ending V's the one who insists on staying in Night City to find a cure and do that one last big heist... in space!

I'm actually really curious where CDPR is going with the story, especially considering how disperate the endings are. Although I guess they nicely mirror the three origin stories, so maybe they'll be the prologue to the DLC content or something.

That's actually not the "Streetkid"-ending. You can join the Aldecaldos no matter your original lifepath.

The endings are actually called "The Devil" (siding with Hanako Arasaka), "The Star" (siding with the Aldecaldos) and "The Sun" (becoming King/Queen of Afterlife by siding with Rogue/going solo)

Well- I mean there is the fourth ending- the you know, bloodless ending

Right, it's just that the three endings map very well to the life paths: "The Devil" == Corpo, "The Star" == Nomad, and "The Sun" == Streetkid. Although I have to admit that I was disappointed V didn't have the choice to e.g. run away with Panam and the Aldecaldos after storming into Arasaka Tower with only Johnny.

Just gettin to the last missions now.

Even if the Nomads do help, it's the Family helping and V has proved worthy of their time. Panam has just sat on her arse not helping V at all since helping her "Dad" see how useful Panam's lone-wolf style can be. At least she's with the family instead of using them when it suits her.

Panam is a perfect Disney Princess. She's hot, got a lot, and shouts (or sings) about how unfair it all is and how she wants even more.

My V has the same relationship with 8ug8are and V only helped her once.

All of the love interests in Punk are damaged goods.

How about we continue to use spoiler tags.

Spoiler: You shoot guns sometimes.

If ya need a spoiler tag at this stage, ya not that into punk so it don't really matter. That's coming from someone that still ain't played beyond the point of no return. Anyway, the bit I reveled is voice by the NPC way back down the story line.

It would be like spoiler tagging the Mandalorian at this stage. If ya don't know what happens at the end of that, ya late to the party and spoiling everyone else's fun making them whisper about it.

It's not like the game has been out for a year. It came out last month. I'm playing it, but I'm taking my time.

Funny that it's difficult to tag important parts of the game while above you, others are doing it just fine.

Ugh. Does Inara really not have an ignore function?

I'm also taking my time, I'm cleaning up every other storyline I can find before the point of no return and I don't have much time to play. I also have the ability to read and say to my self "Oo that's going into areas I don't want to know about so I'll stop reading"

Everyone is being quite respectful of people like you and me that haven't seen everything, but asking them to hide every comment incase it spoils a few slow plays game is a bit much. People wanna talk (carefully I add, thank you) about their experiences. I'd have to have a very high opinion of myself to expect them to whisper so I don't read something I don't wanna know.
