Legitimately, was there anything he could've done to avoid his fate?
>>
>>288586090
His advantage is having a better tolerance for implants given how people went cyberpsycho with way less. But that's also one of his biggest flaws, thinking himself too special. He bit off more than he can chew thinking he can take it.

>>288592454
The Sande was literally the only thing that was keeping him from being a bum

>>288586090
Not installed Maines gear(pretty gay btw) and also he should have just ran away with Lucy after Maine bit it. Literally everyone would have lived if he did but nope he stuck around in Night City.
>>
>>288586090
There are not that many turning points.
If he never joined the gang, Maine would still probably harvest the Sandevistan.
Ihe took Arasaka's deal, he'd probably end up Adam Smasher junior, and still die in that very linear frame prototype.
THe only at leat viable decision he could make is to retire, seek therapy and stop being a chrome junkie. But even then he was too deep into criminal world to live in peace or long enough after this.
>>
By letting me lick his armpits and tongue his navel and swallow his cock and suck his balls and eat his ass ?
>>
>>288594161
Yeah, but he'd probably be a bum that's alive.
>>
>>288586090
Not be a retard.
He had enough money to live comfortably, but he had to chase the high and that's what killed him.
>>
Realize that Maine fucking died and that following his steps would only give him the same result.
Stop getting chrome'd up.
Actually try to talk things out with Lucy instead of trying to go their separate ways, or just fucking listen to her because she clearly had more sense than him at that point of the story.
>>
>>288586090
yeah fucking leave
>>
>>288586090
Yeah, he just refused to do any of them.
>>
>>288586090
Narratively, no. He's a character in a story and his ending is set from the start.
If you mean, if the story was real life and he was able to make decisions, then most likely no as well, because he doesn't know his fate and therefore he can't avoid it.
>>
>>288594208
I guess you're an enjoyer of the Phantom Liberty ending
>>
>>288594554
Depends what people wanted really. If the goal is to "avoid his fate" getting rid of the sandevistan is probably the most straightforward answer.
>>
>>288594507
Holt shit anon, you are, like, sooooo smart. The rest of us would never have figured out that he was a fictional character without your help.
>>
>>288594617
Stop asking stupid questions, then.
>>
>>288594060
This, a happy ending goes against the themes of the setting.
>>
>>288586090
No. And as many anons mentioned, that's not what Cyberpunk is about. Trigger basically made an abridged version of a cocky high level CP 2022 campaign. I ran a lot of them back in the day and adam smasher ended all of them except for one.
>>
>>288594208
His lifespan would be WAY shorter if he did

>>288594554
NTA but the Phantom Liberty ending is way different because V genuinely has a shot at living a normal stable life without meeting a gruesome end. David, if he threw away the Sandy would have been a smear within a week.
>>
>>288586090
Perhaps leave the city with his sandevistan
>>
>>288586090
No. It was implied that Lucy swapped his chip which is what caused the classroom incident and in turn what caused his mom to die. Completely ruining his life before they ever met.

There is some irony that the team he joined is the same team who fucked him up simply because they didn't know he was related to their part supplier.

He fucked with Smasher. Fatal move.

What would he have done after running away?
>>
I don't know anything about the Cyberpunk game and it's setting, what is outside of Night City like? Are all major cities shitholes like Night City too, or are there still "normal" cities?
>>
>>288598025
More or less, Barely anything is known about the state of the world in 2077. The latest TTRPG goes is 2040's, and it's not a good time, but still info about the rest of the world is practically non-existent outside of broad timeline strokes. If you go to earlier editions, things were more "normal" everywhere, including Night City. It's just Night city is an idependent territory with no oversight other than it's local government, which can't do anything against the corpos.
The message of the game is "Unrestrained capitalism and unrestrained technology are cool and bad", so if you want play in a "noirmal" city, play a different game. Or set your game in the Soviet Union or China.

>>
>>288593998
It objectively is though. You mostly can't work your way out of poverty without winning the lottery in some fashion. He probably had a lot more money when he was all chromed out than he had before, but far too little to actually retire. Like most people he's locked into doing whatever it is they need to do in order to survive and that's all there is to it.

Actually, it ends with it all ending up being a "dream" of sorts, David tells her that it's time to wake up, but that she has so much she wants to say to him, and he replies that he has too, but that she shouldn't stick around just to hear the words of a ghost.
Rebbeca's ghost gives her a hug before vanishing, and tells her to take care of herself otu there.

he would get disposed off. A literal who lone kid none will ask about
>>288591365
outside vidya game MC, the fate of a fixer is to die and you cannot avoid that. Everyone know that and they go full on with fun and parties, ebcause next offer would be either guns too big for you to take on, or straight up covered up disposal. Worst case scenario someoen hired a team to kill you, and that team is way beyond your abiliy to get away. Entire point is to have fun while you're alive. I think the perfect depiction of it was when that long arm dude got instagibed by a random psycho chrome. % minutes before that they had a party
basically, there's no happy ending in cyberpunk. You're too small to make a diffirence, and if you take down Adam Smasher, there will be even stronger gun agaisnt you or a literal army to take you down, so despite your acheivement you'll never be left alone in peace

Stop chroming up. But really, his fate was sealed the moment he got the Sandevistan since some Arasaka spooks already had eyes on him for being able to tank it. He already wasn't doing well in school though so he's likely just fucked already. And even if his mom didn't die, she might've gone into trouble for stealing mil-tech off corpses.
So yeah, being David is suffering.

This. What happens in the show is literally the best version of life David could have when you think about it. He gets to live a few years on a more or less constant adrenaline high, going on heists with trusted comrades, pushing his body to its theoretical limit, getting a taste of good living and also fucking a hot ride or die chick every night who also goes into battle with him. Then he goes out in a blaze of glory fighting for his friends.
Shit, its a better version of life than most people live, they just don't know it. The real tragic character is Lucy.

Maybe if his hot mom didn't get killed he would have had better guidance but left to his own devices and idolizing Edgerunners means you're on the path to get yourself killed eventually, and you won't settle for anything else.
The alley doc had him pegged when he said he was a chrome junkie like so many others, you chop away too much of your humanity and there's nothing else you can do but die fighting either in control or out of your mind.

It's literally so irrelevant to CB that it doesn't even matter if it's canon or not, and if it were canon to WuWa, it would introduce such a plot-shattering OP tool (can see every dream and talk to anyone in the entire multiverse, including dead people; it's easy to believe that no one on Solaris-3 has figured out what to do about the lament, but crossing worlds and probably dimensions?) that it would make you wonder how they haven't solved the main problem yet.

>>288594554
"Muh bad endings" are only bad because of the studio’s poorly forced moral, accepting nUSA/Arasaka offer is the only right choice anyone would make. CDPR can't into narrative - the game punishes you if you don’t play the far-left psychopath terrorist. The same goes for the anime, David elicits no empathy whatsoever and is entirely to blame for his own misfortunes

If you want to live to an old age in NC your only reasonably reliable options are to either be born rich or get yourself into a corpo-slave role that isn't so important that you'd get killed for your position or in inter-corpo conflicts.

And even then, you'd have to also hope you're lucky enough to not get caught up in some random shootout during your day to day. As it is, its not like you'd be living a great life just because you reach old age in such a hellhole.

Yes but that's not the kind of story they wanted to portray. I think it was in the first episode even and a few others where they repeated the theme.
David could have done several things but unfortunately he was guided by the city and its people to self-destruction. So in a sense it feels like a greek tragedy.

V is literally the most powerful character in cyberpunk universe.
At the end he became a one man merc squad that surpasses every known legend including morgan blackhand.
>>
>>288586090
Unless the money from the sandevistan would have been enough to pay for rent and school till graduation, not really. At least not after his mom died.
In one way or another he would have ended up doing shady shit ti survive and likely dying, or becoming a lab rat if anyone discovered his implant tolerance.
If the money was enough then he did kinda fuck up, but even then he was just going to become part of the cyberpunk version of the corporate rat race in hard mode cause no nepotism.

So why did the "power of being the MC" allow V to run rings around Smasher like he's nothing but not David?

yeah I think its pretty confirmed that he staved off cyberpsychosis because he had 2 "brains" to carry the load. although it was killing him in other ways.
Its not a leap to then assume that extra processing power gave him an edge too. Only David's body was good at handling the chrome, not his mind.

this was one year before they started trying to sell literal immortality tech and the unchained AI doomsday device living under pacifica was found

> V still has the ability to use cyberware, NUSA just used him as a wetwork agent for two years then mindwiped him and sent him back in as a sleeper
>>288615342
within the context of the meta, V has basically infinity humanity stat which means he fundamentally doesn't get cyberpsychosis and his cyberware capacity is limited basically by his number of nerve endings
not only does the relic actively heal V's brain (while also erasing him) but it adds processing power and Johnny lives in your head constantly sharing the load and talking you down off the ledge

killing smasher is not even remotely the most impressive thing V's done
exhibit A: V tapping the blackwall to fry tens of black-ops agents running custom military-grade ICE at once by throwing a lovecraftian AI into their heads, something that fries Songbird so bad each time she uses it that she has to feed said demons her own beloved personal memories to even start to use it.

> V tapping the blackwall to fry tens of black-ops agents running custom military-grade ICE at once by throwing a lovecraftian AI into their heads
Did V actually do anything in that case? I thought the frying of the agents was all Alt, V didn't even seem to know what the hell was happening at first.

>It's a video game and you have to be able to beat the final boss unless you want to listen to 5 million faggots complain about it online for the next 25 years
KEK but true, I wonder if we imit vidya as a medium too much to keep certain fantasies intact. I'm no fan of forced bad endings, but after years of videogames being eternal blandness with some sweets, I'd gladly have some sour if it's tasty enough.

A story as old as time

Its not that deep. He should of just done white color crime after getting into some corporation

>2) Keanu Reeves is in your head
Johnny being in V's head was pretty meh. Now if it was Morgan Blackhand though...

>Did V actually do anything in that case?
i'm talking about PL/Killing Moon where Song links with you and you use the blackwall to fry like 70 NUSA spec ops guys and an attack helicopter at the spaceport
alternately Somewhat Damaged where you just get access to the Militech Canto after killing the guardian of the underworld that allows you to do the exact thing that's turned Song into a walking husk as much as you want with almost no drawback

but it is also almost funny how many times V has been hit by some kind of lethal cyberattack only to kind of fall over and get back up five seconds later being his plucky self and being like "whoa what the fuck was that." Like he canonically face-tanks
>nightcorp lethal virus that kills lucius rhine
>scav virus that fried sandra dorsett

>I'm no fan of forced bad endings
every ending of CP2077 is a bad ending
there's nothing really good about killing adam smasher, he has no idea who you are and it's somewhat likely that JS didn't really have any real beef with him at all anyway
>>
>>288586090
Maybe if he and Lucy met earlier and had a more developed relationship by the time his mom died but otherwise no, the way things were set up this choom was doomed.

>having mental illness like adam sandler or brain disorder like V made you CP's most powerful individual
What did CDPR mean by this? Is this another of their polish subtlety?
>>
>>288616264
adam smasher's kind of just like a bug person and V is just master chieve but instead of a girl that calls him a studmuffin, he has a deadbeat scumbag that smells like stale cigarettes in his head
everyone with mental illness is a repulsive weirdo like the bald selfcuck twins, cow farm pedophile, and the andy dick ripperdoc
>>
>>288610098
The Arasaka offer that doesn't heal V, and/or uploads his consciousness to "totally not virtual hell" should be a good ending?
If you're going to be an obedient little goyim atleast have some logic to it, not a circular "right is gud, corpo is right, so corpo is GUD!1!1!1"
And The Tower ending is not a bad ending at all, sad and bland as hell but one of the best written and best outcomes for V. It's popular for a reason.
>>
>>288616389
V going with the nomad is my headcanon ending. Nomads are quite technologically advanced unlike how they're portrayed in the game as tech gypsies, they have access to top of the line bio tech from stormtech which is allied with the aldecados. Also, leaving all that life behind by embracing the road is a direct parallel to David's whose life ended in the rat race towards the top.

He's made for tight white pussy

Plus Misty says everything will work out and Misty is always right.

>>288616578
This too. Also arasaka is not exactly known for precise bio and nano technology, their main products are paramilitary group, manufacturing, and banking. It's like if Verizon does some freaky neuralink tech stuff. It's bound to be wrong, especially seeing the shard as some top secret all in house product.

he could've done what i would have done and moved in with becca and bang her all day every day

>>288612796
if you like gachashit then probably yes, if no then just watch someone's playthrough
iirc there's an option to skip the game's main story so that you can play this cyberpunk event if you would rather go through the slog than watching other's playthrough

Not overuse the fucking sandy?

A Becca gf would have saved him.

>>288616016
>spoiler
did I miss something? or is that headcanon? Either way, sounds plausible for the NUSA
>>288616435
I do like that one, especially for MaleV with Panam. It leaves a glimmer of hope. I also think the not-acually-Johnny takeover ending isn't "bad," depending on how much of a death wish, out with a blaze of glory you played V
>>
>>288616389
>One of the best
It is the best because V gets to escape the game entirely. All of his contacts think he is gone,have moved on, he left a legend and he has the opportunity for a high paying low risk job.

>>288616435
The Tower im certain is what CP will roll with if they ever decide to bring V or any of his buddies back. It depowers V and keeps Smasher alive which im certain is something that Pondsmith himself would prefer at the end of the day.

All people in that city are doomed, so no

Did you make those typos on purpose in order to appear stupid
>>
>>288586090
Take all his savings and Leave the city alongside Rebecca and Lucy and start a business like a restaurant or a cafe somewhere far far away from that city.
Fuck the moment Rebecca started to notice something was wrong with him she should had taken him and Lucy and force them to leave that city to convince him to stop with the machine upgrades.

I think he was too obsessed with the words of his mother about "making it to the top of the city" to prioritize his own happiness so that why he decided to stay.
>>
>>288603029
they absolutely do

>>288613775
every fight in the game was trivial with slow time throwing knife headshots

Oh plenty. David could have sold the Sandevistan. Or he could have become Katsuo's crony. Or he could have cut back on the Chrome. Or, really, any number of things.

But if he did, David wouldn't have been David. That's what makes it a tragedy.

David needed an actual rational male figure in his life. Love Maine but god he was digging himself in the hole.
>>
>>288586090
Yes. Leave NC. Literally simple as that.

Abandon all that it is you knew, and take on new life outside. The same choice as give to V, but Dabid had the advantage of he wasn't slowly dying from the relic chip.
>>
>>288616389
Corpo V going for the Arasaka ending only to not take the final step and just decide to fuck it and go back to live out their final months free is the single best ending the game has to offer, imo. Especially when Hanako calls V on the way down to talk about working for her again. Doesn't even matter if it hapens, at the end the corpos started calling V. Thats the best part, no other ending offers this kind of vindication for one of the origins life story.
