Nope, play the game again.
"Fate worse than death", stated in the opening of the game.
AI Alt says that she is no longer the Alt that Johnny knew. So Alt is dead too.
After the Hellman interrogation you have a chat with Johnny about the whole "Secure your Soul" program. It's a vehicle for Arasaka to manipulate people and to get even more powerful by storing talented people as engrams. Selling it as "Secure your Soul" to the super rich is mostly a marketing trick, that becomes clear when you read what Soulkiller actually does to a person.
Check my signature for more detailed ways of fixing the endings without extending them but solidifying their outcomes as well as incorporating missed game mechanics.
You can make the argument for V being able to find a cure during those 6 months, if you want. The thing is, there are 8 different endings, and the DLC will never be able to bridge all of them. It would be about only 1 of them, or an entirely different ending. According to CDPR's own words the DLC will not be expanding upon the story we have, because that would be considered "withholding story for the future".

I'm not saying anything different, I think the endings are bad and should be fixed. It's not going to be in the form of DLC though, because that would be opposite of what CDPR were saying.

While that might be true we should not forget that Johnny and others have motives to sell you the Soulkiller as the absolute worst:
1. He is a terrorist who killed countless innocent people just to see Arasaka burn. He is super biased
2. If V gives up Johnny gets a new body without having to fight with V over it.
3. Alt has a similar motive in eating all the Engrams and possibly being in cahoots with Johnny, because she wants him back
There is no unbiased opinion in the game regarding the relic, so we should take everything with a grain of salt.
Arasaka grew as big as they did in no small part because of their security staff spying on the companies that hired them, and through the extortion and blackmail conducted by their law firm. Using engrams as a source of information is absolutely something they'd do. It's how they interrogated enemy netrunners during the 4th Corporate War for example.
The only one thing that they fixed with ME3 Ec was the loopholes that was suggesting indoctrination theory. RGB as poitless and bizarre it was, stands to this day. Even canon red ending shown in Me4 teaser was a damage control before ME trilogy remaster will come out and more people will get this feeling of disappointment.
i think that Arasaka and Nomads endings are way to go for expansions. In both V lives, tho I will be probably as an engram
Yeah, I already liked it, but from my gaming experience going back and changing story-stuff AFTER release is an absolute Never-do-this in the gaming industry. I mean look at the backlash J.K. Rowling got for it.
Our only hope are DLC's or an Extended Cut where new stuff just gets tacked on at the end.
Or at worst case, modders with a big heart for softies like me.
No need to change anything mid game honestly, just connect the choices to the ending.
I agree that it was still bad, BUT we got closure and an opportunity for a "happy end" with Shepard breathing in the destroy ending.
The endings where okay in a sense that your death made a difference in every one, although I still just wanted Shep to survive.
Here they do not even accomplish anything. V wasn't destined to save NC from the Corps or sth., he isnt galactic hero Shepard. His goal was survival and he missed that by a longshot.
Going into the final mission, I was certain there would be some sort of ominous consequences for letting Alt into Mikoshi. She was just so spooky. But does it even come up in any of the epilogues?
I agree but they could merge all stories where V chose life. If player didnt chose going with nomad, they could receve a call from some random dude or I dunno. I guess you are right it will stay like this. And that makes me sad really, I really think that out of 8 endings one at least should be living long but with some problems,vomiting blood,or faint from time to time. Like this I just fell bad for romancing Judy who went through a lot of shit, getting killed Saoul, and I dont fell like it was worth it. I loved every single moment, i cred like a bitch, laughed, just enjoed writing...but this ending..i dunno what to fell like honestly
Sounds like a suicide attempt if they keep it that way. Cause nothing you do influences anything in the city or around you and sure as hell you can't influence anything for V. So the entire story is pointless for V. But on the bright side you could give Johnny a new life 50 years after his death........ wohooo..........
In the end I fell like a Villan. I am hurting someone, or someone is dead cus of me. All that stories for are then waste of time if you cant pull this off. Imagine ending where you can live, giving promise to Judy/Panam that you are done with shooting,and action. Just calming down and enjoying life. Ending where you dont lose everything, ending where you can fell that figh was worth it
For those hoping for DLC,
Let's look at it this way, for the entire duration of this game our main goal was to find a cure for V, and we found NONE. Right?
Let's say they release DLC to expand upon the endings, your goal now is to find a cure for V during the 6 months you have left. Do you see any similarities? What was the point of the game? Are we going to go through the same exact story twice?
Either you should be happy with the ending we got, or ask for a "different ending". There is no continuation to the story. CDPR is not going to make a new expansion with the exact same story we got. It does not make sense.

I do not think so. In the endings where you leave the city it is fine though, because those give me vibes of "fuck the world, I just want to life my own life now".
So V doesn't care about any consequence from letting Alt go ham.
Jhonny was really going up my nerves most of the time. Like okay i understand the anger, i understand what he went through but like giving him my body, hell naw
Yep, but V was far more often talking about survival and death than living as a legend. Towards the end of the game, this is the main and practically the only purpose of his/her life.
True. Unfortunately..
God damnit. I just want to touch the game again, but I just can't. It is just a game, but it pains me to let down imaginary friends or love interests. I even paid back Viktor asap lmao.
