    THE GREAT DLC SUMMARY - RACHEL:
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    Thanks for spoiler warning :) I'm getting ready soon to do the DLC for the first time, so I only checked out the main photo, which is gorgeous as always. It made me think, however, how much I wish there was a way for Johnny and V not to be at odds with each other. The writing in both characters for the game makes them both very likeable characters (except Johnny when you first meet him--I despise him at first). I'd love a mod someday where there's no "ending" and no "competing for life" and where they could both just coexist, swapping characters at will like Grand Theft Auto 5 where you can play any of the friends whenever you want.

    I'll try to remember to revisit this thread in a few weeks or so when I've done the DLC :)

      Thank you!

      Yup, this would be awesome. Rachel is my second playthrough, so besides another lifepath (StreetKid) all feels the same,
      even if it's the first time I play a 2.0. So my storyteller soul modifies the plot.
      Rachel has her own Biography, that I was writing for years now in my head.
      I modified/changing it to be compatible with Cyberpunk world.

      In any case  - this 'V' is not actually dying from Relic.
      Rachel fights her own secret war - and she knows and hides a lot more than people around her may think.
      She was there before Johnny was even born... but that's still work in progress state... XD
      For now I enjoy exploring Lore Night City ;)

      I just hit the stage where I have to decide whether to side with Songbird or Reed. As my goal is to get cured, and as both sides sound like good choices, I caved in and looked for spoilers to make sure I get cured. I did all the main quest endings 3+ years ago, so I already got all the vanilla outcomes. But even the best vanilla outcome was bittersweet, so I was hoping this DLC would allow for a happy ending where both V and Johnny can live. Sadly, it sounds like this won't be the case.

      Now that I know, from looking a spoilers, that Songbird lied to me and doesn't have a cure, I won't side with her. I just don't accept that kind of lying manipulation in real life, and thus I don't allow for it in PC games.

      I see that your photos are of siding with Songbird, so I'm glad to see them as I won't be taking that path. Gorgeous set, my friend. Thanks for sharing them!

      Yes, first time I tried Reed path too, and this one was a total mystery for me, do I needed to see it too.

      Indeed - there is no true good ending. DLC one hit me hard, personally, when I tried it last autumn. It reminded me real life too much. V saved their life, true, that was the clue actually, but on the other hand lost everything else. Johnny, Friends, Belongings, Visual Appearance - only memories remained. That is actually what's the song I used, about. All Circled In The Drain. This was very downhearting for me.

      So, now, with my second, third, maybe fourth attempt, I think I will never fully end any of those. 

      Glad you liked my set - thank you!

      I just want to mention I agree with you about avoiding the endings. After I finish this DLC I will not ever take CP77 to end game again. This said, I'm not sure if you did the Nomad path ending (I don't think you need to be Nomad to take it) or the Johnny takes over ending, but I think the Nomad path comes the closest to a possible happy ending for V, and the Johnny wins ending is kind of beautiful as well, albeit terrible for V. I think those two are my favorite endings for CP77, with the Nomad my #1 choice.

      When I finish this DLC I'll probably either start a new character or try an entirely different game (perhaps Baldur's Gate 3, though it's dauntingly expensive).

      p.s.This play through I got V's armor to 1496 (on Normal difficulty), and she can tank just about anything. It's the closest I've seen to god mode without god mode. I picked all her cybernetics to emphasize armor (and stealth). She also heals through killing, so her health never drops noticeably even if she has an army on her at once. If I do start another character, I'll take that path again, and I might start another nomad (this one went Corpo as I didn't take Corpo to end previously but did the others).

      p.p.s. Thinking back 3+ years, there's also an ending I tried where I didn't side with any faction and just went to end game Johnny and V friends with each other. No hope to a happy life, but definitely a good ending as bad endings go :)

      I haven't tried Nomad ending yet (only Rogue ending so far), but this one would fit my BikerGirl - open road seems a nice idea 😎

    Piąty screen gdzie dziewczyny siedzą przy stoliku aż prosi się żeby dopisać do niego story. Genialne pozy 🤩

      I story zostało napisane, tyle że w mojej głowie - starałem się to wyrazić właśnie pozami  -cieszę się że zauważyłaś :D

      Rachel uświadomiła panią So Mi, że wcale nie jest taka sprytna jak jej się wydawało, w dużym skrócie.
      Jak może pamiętasz, moja CyberNindża potrafi 'czytać ludzi'.
      Ale zwykle zachowuje większość dla siebie, pozostając w roli tej podstawowej 'V'.

      Pzdr!

    That's a lot of pictures but all very well done, though!  Always such a beautiful set and makes me want to finish up Phantom Liberty already lol!  Been putting it off since I got really deep into VPing lately!   💕🔥😍

      Yeah  -as you see, my works are mostly Gameplay captures  -for now I ussually avoid planned sets.
      More likely a spontagneous ones - I enjoy that it gives me a creativity challenge :D

      And I'm honestly afraid for my Cp2077 to turn into a sshoting platform, with no actual gameplay.
      Like F4 of mine  - only sets, characters locked for years in made up sceneries, cubes hanging in the air, posing as some other realms.
      Do you know that F4 Rachel/May/Christine never seen the actual Lore Boston? XD
      Only Alice (Blonde) was my second playthrough character  -that true Fem Sole Survivor.

      I envy that you still have some DLC to self discover! :D:D:D

      Thank you!

    In my humble opinion, Phantom Liberty is one of the best DLCs ever made. Even though I'm on a burnout vacation from CP2077, these photos did a great job in reminding me how intense it was to play through Phantom Liberty's story. Well done!

      Completey agree!!!

      Although I'm quite disappointed with So Mi's path, maybe because I couldn't avoid spoilers at this point :/

      Oh, well, we storytellers modify the plots after all  - in my version, Rachel figured out So Mi (fifth shot), getting her into sincere confession.

      But helped her anyways. Off-World Netrunner in debt may be helpful in the future.
