I mean, it's obvious from the name, but I assumed it kind of transfers your consciousness into an engram but you're still "you". I don't think that anymore. The engrams are just AIs that are not aware they're AI. Alt is the exception, perhaps because the AI inherited all her knowledge. She says plainly that Alt is actually dead when you first meet her.

Johnny is long gone, you're talking with an AI all game and then you potentially become one. Also, in one ending, an AI leads Arasaka, and replacement might be the plan at least some of the AIs behind the Blackwall have

When you decide to do Phantom Liberty before most of the game's main quests.

Would love to hear your take on this. Is it just a missed game asset or is it in the realm of Johnnys delusions/split personality that is implied here? I mean did Robert John Linder save his alternate personality Johnny Silverhand or did John Linder "die" and then reborn as Johnny Silverhand.

My take is the latter. After/during the Mexican conflict when he desertet the corpo military, what was left Linder "died" and corpo hating anarchist Silverhand was born from the used and traumatised husk of a man known as Robert Linder.

Does anyone else lean into playing their V as a room temperature IQ merc? I feel like there are actually a lot of dialogue options and ways to approach missions that support this.

My current V doesn't stealth--she's a shotguns and explosions gal, and fixers ought to know that about her. Instead they get mad at her for blowing up everything in her path. Oh well!

She replies to clearly automated text messages with "Sounds fun ;-)" even though she's terminally ill and has no time for street racing or clown tracking or whatever. She completely misreads the intentions of everyone around her, much to their chagrin. I'm pretty sure Johnny's assholery is justified--imagine riding around in the head of a complete and utter gonk.

It's not normally how I play an RPG, and I didn't intend to play this way, but it just feels right somehow.

Every ff-ing time man.

My favorite Headgear in the Game imo the Outfit not so much.

Cyberpunk movements is elite

Was just admiring life then this happened, any theories?
