In the DLC story, I thought I could finally play V's Own story without Johnny.
this is very disappointing to me..
It's even more disappointing that this is the last story DLC.
The vast majority of the game already feels like a Johnny story. If we are only getting one expansion, let Johnny take a backseat and give us a more V-centric story with minimum relic shenanigans.I love Silverhand and think that a US story without his perspective would be missing something.
After all, he's an ex-Marine.
(And there's no such thing as an ex-Marine--except for Johnny)
I feel like the fans and CDPR are never going to be on the same page:
CDPR: It's a story about V dying and what they do with the time they have left.
Player: So, when is the DLC after they get cured.
CDPR: There's no cure.
Player: Just, you know, when Johnny's not there because we're cured.
CDPR: It's about V dying.
Player: I know but after that when V is better.
I don't agree with the OP either but I don't think this is entirely fair. In a way, you've described the plot to "The Bucket List", which has a very different goal line to CP77.
In The Bucket List, the plot is about two men with terminal cancer and how they make the most of the time they have left. That's the main objective in the plot; not finding a cure.
If someone watched that movie and said, "I was expecting them to cure cancer in the end," that would be pretty daft given what the movie was actually focussed on. Whereas in CP77 they made finding a cure the main objective of their story.
Anyway, back on topic, I'm honestly really psyched Keanu is back for this. Guy seems really into it. Plus his presence gives me some hope it'll feed into the main plot somehow.
Fwiw, V can earn millions by harassing gangs. Though, it is a grind.Frankly, the LACK of Bucket List options feels like a big mistake. Imagine if the game had...say, six more months for story content and they added these options:
* Try to earn 100,000K to give to Mama Welles and Jackie's girlfriend to take care of them after you're gone.
* Get revenge on the asshole from your opening segment of the game.
* Have a night where you enjoy all of the wonderful things that you loved in life with your LI and/or Johnny as a finale before the big adventure.
* Make arrangements for your body if you die at the cemetary.

Totally on board with this. Someone mentioned above that ' V is we' meaning V and Johnny, and I don't agree with this (no offense to the person who said this). I never saw V as 'we', I saw V and Johnny as independant characters and they hadn't made it to the 'we' stage yet. Regardless, V's fate is pretty much sealed no matter what you do.You got it exactly right.
This is the thing I have been at odds with CDPR this whole time I have been here.
No offense taken lol.Totally on board with this. Someone mentioned above that ' V is we' meaning V and Johnny, and I don't agree with this (no offense to the person who said this).

I'd much rather have a story around V (DLC) and like some, find a cure and he/she lives on, I for one can do without Johnny. When I saw the ad with Keanu saying he was back I said 'oh no'. Keanu is a great guy, don't get me wrong, but I really thought we were done with that character.
