SPOILER Phantom Liberty ending

[Walter White]

I dont know how to feel about these endings. I can't really decide which ending I should like... I decided to help Song, but I ended up handing her over to Reed at the end. I don't like the new main ending where you become an NPC. Sending her to the moon is probably the best ending, but killing Reed just feels wrong.
Whats your personal favorite ending?

[Saltzpyre 2 Is Out]

I chose to kill So Mi at the end of Reed's quest. I never once liked her, how she invaded my mind and shut my homie Johnny up so she could just lie over and over to us. All she ever does is lie. She "comes clean" every 2 quests and every time its more lies and half truths. I think killing her is also the best resolution to Reed's own personal struggles, as he contacts you later and begrudgingly admits that you were right, even if he hates you for it. Also, So Mi is just, ridiculously dangerous. She is an extinction level threat with a long and storied history of ALWAYS making the worst choice in any situation. Reed, in comparison, is a dedicated op with a long and decorated service history, and any lapse in his judgement will lead to at worst his own death, not a metanuke in the form of the rogue AIs swamping the net instantly and killing every single human on the planet. And of course, the bonus of having my own little slice of the extinction pie (Erebus) was more than enough to influence my decision. TL;DR, So Mi is a pathological liar and massive danger, and the NPC ending sucks. It proves that V can be cured, so the nomad/mr blue eyes endings are actually somewhat hopeful now.

I finished only one ending so far. I helped Song first but gave her to Reed later at the shuttle. After talking to Reed I was afraid the knowledge she would give to the mysterious corpo on the moon could start a full scale corpo war with millions of dead innocent people. Did I like Song? Sure. To the very moment as she told me that she betrayed me and even after that. But do I want to risk millions of lifes just to save one person? No.
Do I bother that V is just a nobody? A little bit because most of his friends left him but my V's had over 3 million eddies on his account and can buy the best apartment, the best car and would still have over 2,5 million in his pocket. He could live with this money, travel the world or just invest the money in some business.
What bothers me most is that his friends left him. Okay, Judy has a reason. Even if you play as a female V (which I didnt) I would understand the reason. Victor ist just a ripperdoc. He cant fight an entire corpo. He was afraid of his life and did what he had to do. But how Panam behaves just confirms my opinion about her in the base game. She is a 12 years old emotional instable girly with the butt and boobs of a 25 years old model. V made her the boss of the Aldecaldos, he risked his life for her and other Aldecaldos more than once and she doesnt even want to say good bye on the phone because she is "hurt"? Like cmon girl, my V was in a coma. He didnt bang half of female Rio de Janeiro for the last 2 years.

Now I will restart from the point where I have to decide to give her to Reed or send her to the moon and see myself if I went the right way for my V.

i feel that ending is very fitting, you basically double crossed both of them so its only fitting you become a nobody.

Sent Song free imo is the best ending. As for Reed, killing him is a way of reliving an old dog out of his duty. Someone mention Takemura and like him, they both are loyal to a fault. Mayers ain't no saint either and rather not hand So Mi back to that evil lady. The NPC ending where V got cure is up for debate on how you perceive it. I kinda don't like it. It make V felt like a nobody. The world moved on, the people moved on, your friends moved on and here V is a nobody trying catch up also some stuff aren't explained well either. Felt kinda rushed.

This is what you get if you helped Songbird. Also, on the train to the shuttle, one of Johnny dialogue is "what she is doing, she deserved respect". And that is good enough for me,shot Reed right away. And after the credits, Johnny will also commends that Reed "nobody will remember this kind of person, he will died in line of duty sooner or later". Which implied that in the future Meyer will use Reed again and he will died in one of the mission anyway.

Also the NUSA ending is what you get for bowing down to the system in Cyberpunk universe, a nobody and no friends. Let me reminded you that, through the entire game you fked with the corpos, and the gangs. Do you think they wont make their revenge against V since they are now a normal person? Militech motto: Militech does not forgive, Militech does not forget; straight out from V's mouth himself. SO you picked NUSA ending = sure you are cured, but you are still walking dead-body.

Got to ask...did people check their inventory during the side with NUsa ending?
Far as I can tell, you loose all your money, cars, apartments... The Lot.

No matter how many eddies you had in your account, you are broke when you wake up
Your apartment/s are auctioned off, as are all your stuff (even Nibbles... Thankfully, Rogue buys Nibbles, anonymously)

So... No swanning off to 'see the world', no living in your apartments, no hanging with Judy or Kerry (since Judy is married, and Kerry got over you) no leaving with Misty.

The Tower is the 'Naked Survival' ending, you loose it all, to survive.
(But its NC, so how long are you gona last with no gun, no money, nowhere to rest safely, no chrome, no contacts, no friend's to back you up and a body that's waisted away after two years comatose? The average gangoons farts in your general direction, your gona ragdoll like a hitman kill, right into a wall and flatline.)

This, and you made a ♥♥♥♥ load of enemies throughout the game. Good luck surviving when they go looking for revenge.

I liked all 4 narrative endings to PL and the Tower ending. All of them had something to mull over and I think they hit perfectly fine. Save your game when walking down the stars with Songbird, and try both major routes.

The narrative gives just enough to support or oppose So Mi or Reed. So Mi killed everyone aboard Space Force 1, wants to kill everyone in a stadium, and is a walking WMD. But she also is a prisoner and has the right to be free.

Reed wants to save his protege, protect his country, and stop a threat connected to the Blackwall. But he also helping to enslave his protege and has no scruples against killing anyone to do it.

From my perspective, V sent Song to the Moon because V always kept her words, but V would put a bullet between Song's eyes the next time they meet.
Reed died because he pulled out iron and point it on V first while V was trying to talk the situation down. V's client, Song, said she wanted to go on the Moon, so she goes. Nothing could stop V to complete her Gig, unless over her dead body.
V would never accept the cure before settled a score with Arasaka, and would not allow Johnny disappears before clear the debt she owes.
To be a living legend was the best way for V to honour the man who would answer the question without hesitation. "Yes, I would take a bullet for you, Chika."
