Nomad gets an extra car, corpo gets an extra gun (it isn't actually good), dunno what street kid gets.
Otherwise it doesn't really matter once you get past the intro.
(There will be a few quests that you can do slightly differently later on.)

you get a fake samurai jacket with the street kid path lmao

that's true of all paths, Rogue gives it to you.

no that one is completely different. street kid path gives you a unique mission with kirk that rewards you a literal fake samurai jacket.

nomad > street kid > corpo is the order I do them.

Nomad is better for people with no knowledge of the game world or night city. Plus you get a unique vehicle.

oh neat; for some reason that jacket seems sapphic as hell if female V wears it

I did my first with streetkid, and I'd say its pretty good if you just want to experience the story. Its a smooth experience.
Corpo-V on the other hand gives you far more insight in what is happening. I used this for my second playthrough and it gives a whole different picture.
I'll do a Nomad one when the expansion is there.

I think the Nomad intro has the best overall story arc between it and corpo (haven't played Street kid), including the best emotional arc for a part of the story and a useful sense of introduction to Night City. Don't be put off by the weird starter town where there's little engagement with the people peppered around, though.

Corpo to me didn't feel like I'd been properly bedded into the story before it started, largely because of a rushed character introduction.

The Nomad was maybe potentially the most humane out of others? With street kid in the middle and corpo at the bottom. Almost like in there bios. Since there is a really good moment in the nomads life path When you have an option to give your car to the girl that found it. If you decide to be really nice and give it to her. I think from what I remember the music changes and the whole scene. Makes V look like a really good person. Even johnny says something nice to V towards end of that scene. Which is maybe one of the nicest things he has ever said to V. Maybe just me idk, also not sure if the rest of the life paths missions do something similar?

Corpo was my favorite followed by Street Kid and then Nomad. To be fair though I truly enjoyed all three intros.

Nomad is the chaotic good V lifepath

I would have liked to have seen more of the op that went sideways that put you on the corp's $#|7 list to begin with. There's less impact just having a loose canon boss and then getting hung out to dry at the club, and the connection to Jackie seems more tenuous for that life path than it does for the other two. I've played down that path far less then the other two though, so maybe there is something later on that makes it feel like a better fit.

1. Corpo
2. Streetkid
3. Nomad

Nomad because of the unique car you get in a side quest and since lifepaths are just cosmetic you might as well start the one with the best reward.

[GoreTiger]

Nomad is more Innocent V. He's starting from the bottom and working his way up.

Street Kid is for second playthrough character: Seasoned V. He knows how Night City works and he's putting that knowledge to use.

Corpo is for V's that want to feel like they've been torn down from High Society. Those V's who just care about themselves and don't really give an afterthought to Night City.

that or a redemption arc

It doesn't really matter that much, they don't influence the main story at all - they just provide different context and a few extra lines of dialogue to flesh out the world. I do still have preferences though.

Corpo is my favourite. Not only is their arc with Johnny more interesting because of V's own history with Arasaka, but also their decisions near the end take on entirely new significance. That and V is far more cut-throat with her background-specific lines of dialogue. The Corpo dialogue always seems to involve V absolutely verbally suplexing the other person into submission.

Street Kid V is my second favourite. Their arc makes the most sense to me, and has the most natural friendship with Jackie imo. Their unique dialogue lines are pretty much always "corpos suck" or "hey I know this place/that guy, isn't that where XXXX" which provides some nice extra tidbits of world building and help reinforce the idea that V knows the place.

Nomad sucks. The unique lines of dialogue are almost exclusively V saying something kinda dumb, or that they think Night City sucks, or that they know about cars. There is some dialogue about them being the lonesome drifter if you really pursue the Nomad faction's quest lines, but otherwise... Ehhh. Very fun intro though!
