How do you rank the lifepaths?

[Ash//Fox]

Starting my third playthrough, street kid being the one V I haven't played as yet. However between Nomad and Corpo definitely would say Corpo was a better life path, I don't know if anyone else had a different experience but it felt like the opportunities to say things as a corpo are far more present than what I had as a Nomad. The nomad background sounded the coolest at first but in my playthrough at least it didn't come up very often. How do you rank them?

Corpo is always going to be my favorite. Some times it's fun to be an arse hole. Not to mention a lot of side missions can be changed if your corpo. No to mention getting rich can be easier cuz you can get out of paying for things and squeeze money out of people.

I 1000% feel like Street Kid and Nomad were shorted on dialogue options.
I'd rank them : Corpo, Street Kid, Nomad
Nomad barely got any options and it was rather disappointing. The most present Nomad dialogue is when talking to Panam and it felt kinda bleh.

Nomad has the best prologue.

Corpo to me makes the best overall story.

Street Kid is garbage. It doesnt make sense that someone as connected as V was, grew up in the same neighborhood, hangs out at the El Coyote, and has NO CLUE who Jackie Wells was. Only saving grace is its the shortest prologue.

Honest none of them really matter, and you'll be rolling in credits no matter what.

I personally like Nomad, simply because it flows better since V is new to Night City and the game doesn't do a grid job at making Street Kids feel like natives and merc V doesn't feel Corpo in play.

Sad thing is that two lines could've fixed that, have Jackie recognize V when car jacking her and have V say something about long time no see right before the cops burst in.

I like corpo because it is the shortest. If it has no impact on the game, there should be an option to choose it and then skip it.

[Zero McDol]

I like them all, but Nomad is my favorite.

[Nite69]

street kid may as well be best because you are doing street based stuff no matter what path ya take

[CoffeeBro]

I could be wrong, but I find Street Kid to have the most dialog options. Anyone else find this also?

Cheers all

Nomad was the first path I played, so V and I discovered how Night City worked together, Therefore...my favorite. Dunno how I'd feel if I had played Corpo or Streetkid first...

Playing street kid rn and I have dialogue options pop a lot. Some of them are pretty good, some of them not so much. Can't complain though, I like it so far.

[The Comedian]

Probably Nomad, then Corpo (like exploring the offices), then Street Kid.
But yeah, at the end you end up as a street kid / punk anyway

[ImHelping]

Dusting the game off after a while. and I would say Corpo is a solid one for a reason everyone trying to claim street kid or nomad are the most honroable good boy backgrounds don't want you to think about.

Corpo is the only one, the ONLY one. Who was already best friends with Jackie. Corpo is the only life path who has a real reason to give a ♥♥♥♥ about jackie.

Nomad, you just met the guy being terrible at smuggling an iguana into the city together like barely competent idiots.

Street Kid, you just met the guy being terrible at stealing cars, like zero competence idiots.

Corpo V, Jackie laughs off arasaka goons with "It would be a shame if you all died if you did more than tell my best friend V he is fired."

So I am glad to see more people are picking up on that over time.

Since they both don't have much outcome in the game and you launch straight into a mission which that boots you playing as an actual member of a clan corp or gang there is not really much sense in rating them they add some color to the game and that's about it.
There should be 4 acts to the game The first should be a rather short orientation and tutorial using your life path to set to learn a little bit and play the role before act two which kicks you from your current life into V's Main story arc so The second Act would be meeting the Fixers and doing a one off mission before ending with Dex end up doing the mission set that gets you implanted with the clip and flatlined by Dex. Then Act 3 should be all the other stuff before an Act 4 takes you to the finale.
