River Ward phone bug

[Sihlaryn]

Hello,

I would like to report this old bug - I don't even understand why it hasn't be corrected !

When we "start" romancing River Ward, or somewhere before the quest "Follow the river", when we phone call River Ward, they are some dialogues lines but if you select anythinh, he will not answer. The only thing he says is "Bye", "Bye, babe"...

I did some research and it seems this bug appears for a lot of people and since... 2020 ?

So please, just correct this bug please.

I already have the feeling that women players are not really favored in Cyberpunk but when you see these kind of stuffs... grrr !

And please, do a romance with Takemura.
I mean... do it. Please.

Thanks,

Sihläryn

Hey, yes please fix River!
In my game he worked fine until phantom liberty. I preordered, but only started to re-play like a week or 2 ago.
All the other characters Kerry, Judy, Panam text me messages, while River won't. I went at his house and he seem bugged, he's merged into the stairs, looks stuck there.
Also Joss's kids look bugged as well, one of them sleeps all the time while the other kid faces the wall, day and night, they won't move. I read somewhere that they actually have a routine.

There is a PC mod that adds a routine for the kids. In the original game, they've always been like this, T-pose and staring at the wall.

And edit: I visited River again and now the kids are outside. Also, the horrible zombie photo that Josie previously sent is replaced by a normal one.

It's 2025 and I only started to get into the game now. I think its more STRAIGHT women players not being favored. I am glad that my preferences aligns with River Ward, because the male joytoys are just...not my type AT ALL. River is literally my type IRL and reminds me of my irl S/O haha.

But I agree, the game needs to fix him and add more content for him. PLEASE DEVS, I AM BEGGING. I go to his place to see what he is up to and he just stands inside the stairs, glitched :,) Idk if its the same for the other romanceable options but after a certain point, calling him does nothing, he never picks up anymore.

I am also experiencing what seems like a glitch right now where he texted me asking if I am thinking about him, I replied very much so, and he never responded back. So annoyed now especially because there is barely any content for him. I bought Phantom Liberty MOSTLY just to have more interactions with River, even if its just a tiny bit more...

I wanted to romance Takemura too but it sounds like he already has family, so maybe its a good thing the game keeps him a loyal family man, I would think that people like that is hard to find in Night City lol.

Again devs, please PLEASE PLEEEAAASEEE develop the romance part of the game, ESPECIALLY RIVER (and also add an option to do the deed? Like why can I do it with joytoys but not the love of my life??

Do you know about the movie star named Jai Courtney? To me River Ward looks like Jai lol.

yeah that seems to be a glitch because if you romance the others you text back and forth all the time.

I have not romanced river but its surprising that when you start dating him that you do not 'do the deed'. because you do with all the other romanceable characters (well i guess i don't know about Kerry either).

oh no, defiantly Kerry as well. My godduagther could not stop talking about it! Made me think the DEV should have had a revers Panam moment for the player where Kerry goes in for the Smooch but the player says "Sorry dude, I do not swing that way"!
