When writing your post, have you managed to came across something about :
<Sigh>.. this is not even an argument, clearly I was to using examples in real life to explain Cyberpunk world, no the other way around.When writing your post, have you managed to came across something about :
- Creating/copying and storing an human mind/consciousness on a chip ?
- Someone able to "evading" himself on the net and let his "dead" body behind, like Alt ?
- To be able to "replace" 97% of his body by implants ?
I don't think so...
True but we kinda know that neuro pathways and so on kinda determen who you are(there are alot of factors tho). They are changeble and you are rarely the same person you were @ 15 as in your 30is. That could possibly be changed with nanomachines. Its really kinda interesting too think about what makes you, you when you come down too it.
It is, but i think it will also always be very slow, massive sudden changes usually get classed as brain damage. which is apt for what is happening to V.
Yes, but brain damage CAN change who you are too. It has been known too happend. Sadly we kinda know very little about these kinda subjects. Its all a bit abstract for me, im more of a hard science person i guess ^^
Sure, I understand the idea, it's just gibberish. once you have the quasi magical nano tech the story invokes anything is possible it is just clumsy and over explained.
As far as I remember, it never worked for Arasaka and they never supposed/imagined/considered that the body have to "match" with consciousness (since the whole Relic project was intended for Saburo and Saburo only).
I'm not so sure that V has to find a cure really, depending on which ending you go with. If Alt separates V and Johnny and downloads V's engram to the chip (replacing Johnny's), wouldn't that cause the nanites to effectively repair most of the damage they've caused? They are after all using the engram on the chip as the 'blueprint' for the 'remodeling' they're doing. That's been my head canon atleast, that's made it possible for me to not find the ending to be the kind of downer that makes me not want to ever play the game again.
The sun/star endings, Alt states that the damage is irreparable, and that's why V has six months to live. However, Panam claims she knows a guy who might be able to help V, or you have Mr Blue Eyes who is claiming to have a cure/treatment for V. So both of these indicate that though the engram nanites cannot repair the damage done, that there is a possibility that someone knows how to repair the damage. I'm really really hoping that these endings are touched upon either in the expansion coming, or another one...or a sequel. I don't like being given hope, and then having it just hanging there, unattainable. It's torturous!
Honestly, I don't want "break" hopes, but :
I agree. I don't think Mr Blue Eyes is what he claims. I'm guessing he has what V needs, BUT he's not going to make it easy to get. He'll do something stupid that will force V to have to go through Hell to get the cure/treatment promised. Maybe the Crystal Palace is a trap where V will have to fight his way out, then find a way back to Earth. Hell, Mr Blue Eyes could be the 'guy' that Panam knows...or thinks she knows. Would be a good way to join the endings together. I don't want V to be cured all easy-peasy. I want them to have to suffer for it a bit. Gimme angst, a bit of hopelessness first!Honestly, I don't want "break" hopes, but :
With Panam, it seem to me more to reassure each other more than anything else (like when you say everything will be fine when you're sure it won't. Best example : Jackie who said to V just before dying : "Don't worry about me, It's fine. I'll survive"). And Panam know "someone" which probably have a solution about a secret project which only Arasaka was aware about...
And Mr Blue Eyes... The guy who participate/take part to the "rewriting" of the Peralez minds... Does he deserve to be trusted ? Not so sure
Interesting, because after the Heist, my V realized that "become a Legend" was just a stupid dream and the Heist was, sadly and only a "brutal wake up". And there is absolutely nothing (like dialogue lines,...) which came contradict this. V can even express that she give up this "dream" during some dialogues, like in the Clouds with the doll.

Like Johnny said it in Mikoshi : "Take your 6 months remaining and live your life". And it's what my V will do for sure, i.e living a "real life" with buddies, a family, her sweetheart and not a "dream" which generally (always) end badly and in the graveyard.
So at the moment V realized Night City was very aptly named (City of Dreams), the Star ending make total sense
