She could still go on her road trip and leave Night City. V stays in Night City for about 2 weeks after the final mission, that's enough time to let her know about Arizona and for her to decide if she wants to link up and come with. It honestly feels out of character for her to leave V with their situation whether romanced or not, she'd jump at the chance to help after everything V does for her. More I think about it the more it feels like we might get a crew together in the DLC to find a cure, and Judy's tech smarts are a key part of that I bet. She's probably smart enough to reverse engineer soulkiller and tweak it to force V's Johnny-body to accept the V engram, with enough support of course.
I don't think Panam or any other Aldecado mentioned Arizona till the very end of the game, all you knew before wrapping up the story of Panam at their last camp is that they are moving soon, and you don't give them any concrete answer about joining them, sure we had choices of dialogue in those moments but they all lead to "I'll think about it" in a different way, plus if we told Judy that we are moving to Arizona you'd sacrifice an important surprise in a specific ending when I played and heard that "Someone is waiting for you" I was like "whaaat?? I hope it's not Takemura pls" then I looked around and found Judy, NO I didn't cry those were MANLY TEARS OKAY it was a huge surprise and I loved that moment so much ughh...
As for the DLC's I don't like to be that guy but don't expect anything huge CDPR's DLC's are just small additional content. We might see some missions featuring any character at this point but nothing huge, but you can say that the Aldecados + Judy + V are a crew or even more... a family so we will see them in a future expansion hopefully, but not anytime soon but I could be wrong
Forsure the stakes are different, but having Vik, Misty, River, Kerry, Mama Welles and the Judes in the epilogue would be special, and not out of character or out of place for any of them. Feels shit ghosting all of them like we aren't even in control of V.
I think the holo calls pretty much sums up what you wanted in a different way, when you consider what's going on in the Badlands a storm is on the way / Arasaka are looking for the Aldecados, getting everyone in the same place seems a bit risky after that raid, but maybe it's just me
I could be wrong about Judy though,but Maiko still keeps her photo and her messages.But I don't think we should worry,because Judy is happy with us in the Star ending we can hear that.Maiko brings a certain contrast of relations to the story itself, she is a traitor, and we are a prince for Judy.Maiko is our complete opposite.And I think that's what she's here for
I'm aware of the messages on their computers, but I've never seen pictures of them where do I find those? :0 Also I don't think they are keeping those messages cuz they still have some sort of love connection, I'd say they are just there to give us a bit more depth to the background of their relationship nothing more :")
^This, I would've loved seeing Judy get involved in some missions with us that revolve around BD's and ask for her help to investigate with V anything really, what bummed me out the most is when I figured that I couldn't invite her to the A Like Supreme gig, bet she would've loved it since she is our rebellious gurlI also feel like CDPR missed huge opportunity of main characters interacting with each other. Having Judy working together with Panam/River/Kerry would be hella interesting.
