I just thought...
Maybe it would also be interesting to see the NPCs having relationships together as a result of your doing things (and not if you don't I guess).
I think that it would have been really nice for the Happy Together quest that Mendez and Barry get together. I mean, do you think they don't? Even this kind of thing would have made the romance stuff more substantial to the plot and character development.

Sandra, aka tubgirl. But, later on, of course. Then Claire also, the Afterlife bartender with the racing side quests.
Barry and Mendez were work colleagues and I don't recall seeing any mention of it being more then that, or that either of them were gay... unless I missed something? Not that I'd have an issue with that if it were the case, but if anything it seemed Barry and V would probably have formed a closer bond. Even though V found the identity of Barry's deceased friend a bit absurd, the two of them still understood what it meant to lose someone they deeply cared about. Also, a little neighbours-to-friends(-to-potentially-lovers) storyline would not only be cute, but a reason to have V actually return to her/his apartment more often, so they could hang out a bit or whatever.
But I do like the idea of seeing a few side relationships happening, and maybe V helping to bring two people together. With all the dark crap in night city, it would be nice to be able to help bring a little light, just like Jackie tried to do.
Sandra and Claire are great choices, and both could really do with some more content with V.
THE Ice Cream Machine?

Run soulkiller on her and upload her consci into a body?
I just need an unrequited romance arc with hanako.
Then I'd like some fixer options like Regina and Dakota and the bouncer from the mox with the baseball bat. I would even like them to just create new characters specifically for romance and dating like the way GTA 4 did.

I would like to join the Claire, Vik, and Takemura bandwagons please. Vik especially, after he was so supportive in my championship bare-knuckle boxing match. My in-game love interest didn’t even show up to watch me fight. Take me away, Doc.
Let's see, the most I see requested are:
And while I wish there to be more characters to romance and have consequences if I choose certain ones I don't want you to go tru the same emotional void with them. My fear is that if we have them put these in without addressing the lack of meaningful relationship after the intimacy, we will end up in the same state and will be asking the same for the new and original options. For me its Judy, that relationship is what makes or breaks the game for me past this point, for you it will be Takemura, Panam, River, Kerry or any of the new ones and we will still end up in a therapy session here together
I apologize since I diverted bit from the original topic but am all the way there with you just to give us more time with characters we are so attached to. These issues need addressing first.
I have to add this too for purpose of explaining why this topic is important. (There was a now extinct troll around here misrepresenting this subject) Am sorry if this feels redundant, but I have to say it.
First of all none of us advocate for less gameplay features or variety in player freedoms if we wish for more romance or better interactivity in said romances. We are all aware of countless ways that the gameplay can be improved and expanded but we limit our investment to the part of the game that we feel most passionate about knowing that many topics and people already push for more gameplay improvements.
Secondly, the game's narrative, immersion and motivation for playing is by far more influenced by the romance for many of us than any other story or feature. Asking not to care about it would be setting this medium back decades. It is because you can have meaningful relationship with a character as a driving force that you have a more fulfilling and interactive gameplay experience. You can have your flying drone equipped with a railgun sniper rifle to scout your target and blast their heads of to mess some gang because they bad ya'll! Or, you could use the railgun sniper rifle drone to blast them off because they kidnapped your love interest to get back at you and you want to enact vengeance while keeping her/him safe. Which of these sounds like a better motivation?
Thirdly, gameplay for the sake of gameplay only will leave you feeling like the map is essentially empty and repetitive. And when you get more features and hear that none of them impact your decisions or story elements, none of them make you choose carefully which to go with and which not because its just a check list to go tru. Yes that is what you get if you ignore the narrative driving factors like romance or character involvement/development.
Lastly, there are no other games that have Judy, Panam, River, Kerry, Johnny, Takemura, etc. While there are endless approaches in other games to tackle your gameplay problems none of those games have these characters. And we can't ask for more time with them anywhere else aside from Cyberpunk 2077.
- Takemura
- Stout
- Claire
- Evelyn
- Mateo
- Lizzy
- Vik
- Hanako
- Mox bouncer in front of Lizzy's bar (those legs in latex sold the game to me!)

What about Angel and Skye? With all that happend at Clouds while completing the main and side missions they could be looking for something other than being a doll?
Or that guy in the crucifixion side quest? Would it be kinda dark? Yes. Is Cyberpunk supposed to be dark and ambigous? For me, yes.

Some of the character designs are so striking and physically attractive (male and female). The possibilities were all there in the vision of the artists - the narratives just didn't *ahem* rise to the occasion. Goddamn this game and its roads not taken!
