Create a Side Job (Side Quest) for Cyberpunk 2077

+
I really like the side jobs (side quests) in Cyberpunk 2077 and thought maybe a thread discussing our ideas for a side job.
- Come up with a Quest Name
- Come up with a Quest Giver Name
- Are there any requirements?
- Difficulty?
- Where is the quest taking place?
- What happens?
- Is there a Twist?
- Question options?
- Rewards?

40 Whacks

Quest Giver: Regina Jones

Difficulty: Moderate

Location: Lizzie's

Description: There's a power struggle between Elena Parker, little sister of Evelyn, and Suzie Q. Elena wants to make the Mox a more aggressive gang and seize control over actual territory in Watson while also protecting Sex Workers rights more vigorously. Suzie Q wants to just run their club and prostitution business without raising waves. Elena has thus hired the PC to take out Suzie. However, Suzie can be informed of the hit and offers more to kill Evelyn in return. You can obviously eliminate both but Regina will call you a psychopath. The quest has to have you break into Lizzies and eliminate one of them without being seen or killing anyone.

If you succeed in the task then the survivor will rule over a new Mox. The Mox are now more vicious under Elena and she is open to being a one-night stand. They also suffer casualties for their new aggressive stance but have become a real gang that has rescued dozens of other prostitutes from slavery. Under Suzie, the status quo changes but the Mox avoid harder crimes and become a legitimate legal business under Night City laws.

Still Alive

Quest Giver
: Mr. Hands

Requirements: Bonus dialogue for Corpo V

Difficulty: Moderate

Location: Pacifica Hotel

Description: It turns out that the former head of counterintelligence at Araska, Arthur Jenkins, faked his death and has been holed up in an abandoned hotel in Pacifica since he managed to get on the shit list of Susan Abernathy. Susan hasn't been able to find him but has an outstanding reward to anyone who can bring him in dead or alive.

Arthur is willing to pay the player character to say they couldn't find them and that it was a false tip. If the player character is a Corpo, Arthur will recognize them and suggest that they carry out their original plan of killing Susan Abernathy. If they take this option, they will get a second quest to sneak into a heavily guarded mansion and eliminate Susan.

Arthur being Arthur will contact them later and then say they can't get their old job back (despite the fact he's returned to his original job) because it's "too hot" but he'll remember the PC for future wetwork. Which should make the players feel scamed.

Ooh I like this for brainfood :) let me think if I can make something cool.

NCR Invitational
Quest giver: Any fixer will do
Location (start): North Oak area
Difficulty: Moderate to High
Prerequisite: Complete all 4 races with Claire, finish at least 2 races with 1st place.

Quest prompt
Some time after the final race with Claire, V gets a call from the fixer.
Variant 1 (finished final race) : "Hi V, that last race was crazy as hell! The crowd was ecstatic about that final. They'd like to see you back behind the wheel and compete again. They even believe you can win without a gunner on board! Waddaya say? You're in? If you are, see the detes attached."
Variant 2 (claire got revenge) : "Hi V, a shame you didn't finish that last race. But I have some good news. Maybe you heard, but the crowd was ecstatic about that final. They'd like to see you back behind the wheel and compete again. They even believe you can win without a gunner on board! Waddaya say? You're in? If you are, see the detes attached."

The fixer then sends a message with the location marker and afternoon as a time slot and an image of the world map with a highlight of the race circuit. This can be a randomly generated track out of 3 different circuits, incorporating elements from all previous races.
(My example, via watson through citycenter, go innerstate via heywood towards santo domingo, into badlands where the race end 'somewhere east')

During the quest you race against 7 opponents with all kinds of vehicles, ranging from type 66's to coyote etc.
The goal is to finish the race in 1st place and claim victory.
You can choose any vehicle you own, including motorcycles.

When you finish the race first place a short cutscene plays like an official victory moment where you stand on top of your car waving, crowd present there sheers.
After your victory posing the fixer resumes contact: "Hey V, congrats! You are now officially the new NCR champion! I already transferred your winnings, enjoy the spoils! ... Oh and btw, I will stay on the lookout whenever a new race is organized, make sure you're on the list as defending champion!
See ya, V."
For winnings you get a large sum of eddies, your vehicle used for the race can be equipped with a special skin and you get special (legendary) racestyle clothing.

If you do not end in 1st place, but between 2 and 4, the fixer will contact you: "almost V, but not quite yet. You are a crowds favuorite though, especially as you're doing it solo.
I'll keep a lookout for another race and makes sure you're on the list. I know you can finish 1st!"


Other notes
- the quest will update to 'wait' for a revanche if you didn't win.
- the quest can lead into a recurring gig for new races, allowing you to win more eddies and/or gear.
- NPCs can comment on your vehicle if it has the special skin equipped.
- NPCs can comment to you on the race.

What I wanted to do is open up the races outside of Claires arc.

You hear blood curdling screams and banging and smashing in your neighbours room. It happens every night. You get a quest marker to your neighbours, to wait until 9pm and the journal title is "Sound of Silence." with the objective name "Make some quiet time for V"

You either kick down their door and kill them;

Or sneak into their apartment during the day, hack their computer and discover they're doing performance art for under-privilieged watson kids in the evening whilst working as a volunteer blood clean up operator on the streets during the day.

But because you only followed the quest marker and the objective you murdred a good person, you monster.

I follow her inside the building and she sat down showing a very distress mood (so much for just a virtual model in a videogame).
