  1. The writing in this DLC was just phenomenal. Meg you should react to the new ending they added to the main game where V uses the neural matrix, as fem-V especially it's heartbreaking.

  2. The ending where shes hooked up to a bunch of wires isnt where the police put her for being a cyberpsycho, you ambush a maxtac convoy with reed and sixth street to free her and so-mi escapes to that place where she hooks herself up to a bunch of wires i cant remember the exact details like where the place is or why she did it but yeah

  3. You should really play the part where you choose to side with Reed. Because there is so much more story and gameplay following. You will even see parts of SoMi's life and how everything went down for her.

  4. there's sooo much content to see if you play through Reed's path
    so I highly recommend to do it
    I prefer So Mi's ending, but Reed's path is just way more interesting and has so much content to understand So Mi and Reed's relationship

  5. It's not clear what Reed will do with his life in "So Mi's dead" ending but if you're a Nomad you can encourage him to quit
    sooo there's a possibility that he'll finally get it, but I think it's the ONLY option for him to at least say something not brainwashed

  6. the only reason i'd choose to go betray songbird is for the amount of back story we get in that path, especially that heartbreaking sequence in her brooklyn apartment, but yeah, usually sending her to the moon is the way to go for me

  7. I saved So Mi and sent her to the moon in my first playthrough and i will 100% do it again. No regrets.

    My V would not be able to live with himself if he sold out So Mi.

    She could've not told us the truth and gone to the moon with us still in the dark.
    But she chose to trust us and place her life in V's hands.

    So if my V could at least save her life, despite her hiding the truth from him, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

    As for Reed, he just became a loyal dog for the NUSA without having a mind of his own.
    He lived only for his oath, not for himself.
    At least Alex was sick of it and wanted to retire.
    Reed was just incapable of living outside his oath to the NUSA, even after they sold him out 7 years ago.

    Even Cyberpsychos have hope to recover.
    But Reed was too far gone.

  8. I don't get why you really wanna side with her. considering that she was the only one who planned to betray you from the get go, as much as I agree about some of the things you said about reed but at least he's blindly loyal (not saying that's a good thing), in addition to him doin' his best & keeping his end of the bargain by providing a cure which is the whole purpose of the game .

  9. The way I read Reed was that deep down he does actually care about So Mi but he’s made being an FIA agent such a crucial part of his character to help cope with his own execution that the chain Myers has wrapped around his neck is so tight that he can’t bring himself to go against her orders which is why he has to try and rationalise to himself that the decisions he’s being commanded to make are in fact what’s best for So
    Mi. If he turns his back on the fia then he doesn’t know who he is but if can’t make himself believe in his orders and goes through with them anyway he’ll do exactly what Johnny believes is gonna happen

  10. He was such an incredibly flawed character, perfectly portrayed by Idris Elba.

    Reed knew deep down it wasn't right. However he thought it was the only way, cuz it's all he ever knew. The FIA has consumed so much of his entire being, his beliefs, his morals.

    So helping So Mi do what she actually wanted would have destroyed everything he thought he stood for; only for him to realize it was all a sham in service of a psychotic war-criminal like Myers.

    He began to realize what the deal was, but he didn't want to admit it. At that point he was Solomon Reed: FIA agent.

    He had nothing else and without it he feared what would happen.

    Hence Johnny's comment about Reed eventually deleting himself and having already lost everything.

  11. Yeah, no, Myers didn't (directly) put Song in that situation in the Reed path. Other "forces" do. You need to go play the entire betray Song quest line to get it. IT has a ton of new stuff as well as some great backstory you don't get if you only go with the betray Reed option. It's beautiful… and sad.

  12. You missed a lot of very important context sadly. Where Reed & V retrieve Songbird was inside the Project Cynosure bunker. When you betray Songbird, a Rogue AI takes almost complete control of her so she’s most definitely lost at that point. The Rogue AI leads her to the Cynosure facility bunker and hooks her up to the core in order to let more Rogue AI’s escape. Meanwhile the Blackwall is still killing which is why she’s so weak

    Also, Reed DID save Songbird when he recruited her. You’d get important backstory on who she was if you saw the whole questline. She was at fault for a lot of what happened because she was naive. She literally drove her friends and boyfriend away and was going down a dark path until Reed showed up. If she didn’t get recruited, NetWatch would kill her instantly

  13. Please play through the betrayal of Song Bird. In a game as high quality as Cyberpunk, please never just watch a video playthrough 😢 You're missing out on such an experience. Especially in this case where the video cut.. you have no idea how much out.. so so much context which would have made the ending have so much more impact.

  14. Honestly setting Song Bird free, as in helping her die is the best ending for her I beleive. Not even sending her off to get the cure because she will never be able to go back to a normal life.. she will always be a tool, a puppet, a gateway to the black wall, to Myers.. She wanted death instead of going back.. On the other hand, Reed was revolving his life around So Mi.. so he couldnt move on.. But after setting her free you'll realize he's slowly trying to accept things and move on for the better. He definitely had more hope of getting a normal life than Songbird.
    He deserves to live just as much.. if not more only because she didn't want to live at a certain point.

  15. I empathised so much with songbird but ultimately, it came down to V or her for me. So many people tricked V or let her down, and when songbird admitted that she was only ever planning to help herself, I thought V needs to put herself first too now. And that gave me the new base game ending which I believe is the best ending for V.

  16. I don't think Reed does learn, at least where he understands So Mi in the way that she needs, beyond his own guilt and sense of duty. I think he feels bad about recruiting her and feels responsible for her so he sees keeping her alive as his way of atoning. I think he also realises that Myers will never let someone who knows as much as So Mi does go. If you get the new base game ending, he does say something at the very end that leads you to believe he doesn't know if handing her back to the FIA was the right thing to do. He feels constantly tortured because he knows in the back of his mind that So Mi felt trapped and he put her in that position.
