Does starting "upbringing" choice matter?

[Bradeck]

I played nomad for about two hours, and suffice to say, it's radically different than Corpo start. How much will it affect the game, which start I choose?

[Many]

From what I remember, it doesn't change at all; only the beginning is different.

Not much you just get a few different dialog options

It changes a lot of things but you likely won't notice most of them until your 3rd or 4th play-through. It mostly opens up conversation opportunities throughout the game and can totally change the feel of certain moments of the game. The most noticeable change is that each origin has a unique side job that deals with their origin in some way.

Edit: The Nomad one also can get a unique version of Jackie's Arch if you choose the right dialogue and have high enough Tech.

In addition to different minor dialogue and conflict resolution options, each path has a side quest (or two maybe?) unique to their path.

I really like it from a roleplay perspective, you can use each of V's lifepath starts as a way to get "in their head".

It’s virtually identical to Mass Effect’s pre-service history options.

You have a unique intro mission when you first start the game. You get one unique sidequest related to your chosen lifepath. You get some occasional dialogue options that is specific to your lifepath during some quests.

And that’s pretty much it. It’s not very consequential to be honest since the main storyline must converge regardless of your chosen lifepath.

On top of what others have said (unique dialog options, one unique side job per lifepath), each lifepath also gets a unique reward from their associated side job:

Nomad: A car which sounds like it's on the verge of death, but actually has surprisingly good specs.
Streetkid: An eye-searing blue&pink jacket with a picture of a woman on the back.
Corpo: An iconic variant of the JKE-X2 Kenshin pistol. Notably, if you have Phantom Liberty, this can be purchased from the iconic weapon vendor even if you chose a different lifepath.

Like the first few hours.
