This is bad?
See how many people here like bad endings. I don't understand them, but if they want them, let them get them.
Why not let others prove themselves in the game, and instead of endless grinding, start working on the ending that he likes.

Could? Maybe.
I could see W3 CDPR maybe willing to. But the company willing to ship an unfished game?
Just all the expense in 4/5 separate beginnings all requiring massive amounts of VO and animating work , plus all the added VO/scenes based upon your return
vs.
Expand the lore - V's story is over - new person making a new story in NC/2077 world.
Which do you think the bean counters will choose.
I know that entire Cyberpunk is created for and around NC, and the rest of the world is just a scenery, but formally speaking NC is not the only center of science and high-tech in America.
Sure just ignore all the arguments made, why do you feel the need to shit on the ending some people prefer?
If you prefer this, it's your right. I, for myself, prefer dramatic choice, not choice based on my time and effort, invested in the game. It's like having secret and diffucult quest chain, granting you the option to persuade both Triss and Yen to go threesome with you. Or persuade Ciri that she will be happy as an empress. Or to persuade Dikstra give up his ideals and surrender Redania to Nilfgaard. See my point?
This is theory. You can either agree with it or not. But not prove or disprove.
I see no reason to guess, we have to wait for what the CDPR will come up with.
Here's the thing, why are those 20 mins missing from the base game? Why end the game on a sour note, only to disregard that immediately in the next DLC/game?
No.
I just rarely see when players like it when role-playing game creates obstacles for them artificially, lack of choice, game conventions, lack of elaboration.
Well at least not getting stuck in textures.
Either I misunderstand or others do but never said Panam the cure would be in Arizona. And even if she doesn't really know what V went through her "message" was kinda like this (hope for clarification or correction if it's wrong):
Don't worry, we will find a cure. We know lots of people in Arizona who might be able to help you. They were able to solve issues far worse than your problem. It will be alright.
-Not original but the essence of the message should go like that.
TL;DR
Panam didn't say there is a cure, but she knows people who might know people and solutions to the problem. Kinda like that.
I'm not really guessing, I'm just asking those who are. If I wait for CDPR that means that I'm fine with the endings, which is obviously not the case
It would be the prologues to the second game.
Because the Climax is taking on Arasaka and separating from Johnny. The next step of healthy body and consequences from seeking it is another story.
It may not turn out to be the case at all ... Vs story could well be done, but it's not hard to see why the current endings would be a natural break point if they decided to continue on with V.
She is one of the most universally praised parts of the game. I dont see a lot of complaints about her characterization at all.
I am also not satisfied with the endings, but I myself am not going to write new ones, so it remains to wait.
I only dispute the overly categorical interpretation of the open finals. Someone has V already died, someone has already cured. This is strange.
You want everything will be possible and achievable through time and effort of the player, thus creating your best ending, right?
Ideally, of course. Games need as little artificial restrictions as possible. Unless it's a rail shooter.
I play the game to get away from IRL limitations and to get interest and pleasure, not suffering and pain.
And in Witcher 3 that would mean having both Triss and Yen, happy Ciri-empress, Dikstra is okay with Redania occupation, global cooling stopped, etc.
And that is fine. But that works if you choose to with with them and they leave NC. One of six endings.
Other endings imply they are still at NC.
An expansion that focuses on curing a dying V in Arizona would be a darn difficult decision as so many players could not import their V's to the expansion.
As if somehow a dead V in cyberspace makes it back into a body its either:
Arasaka putting her in one
ALT/some AI (merged delamian anyone) getting her back somehow - BUT
the act of getting back into a body would nullify the needing to go to Arizona for a cure.
The fact that the endings are so vastly different would make any expansion very very costly in time for animating and VO work just to incorporate the separate endings.
That and getting over the cognitive dissonance of finding someone who could do it - where arasaka failed and ALT failed
These are some serious hurdles to jump.
Thats not taking into consideration V attacking space station, etc.
and if in NC - is Rogue dead or alive. Can't be both.
Is Rogue or V head of Afterlife.
CEO of Arasaka
Corp War on or off
The sheer number of binary choices involved is staggering. Dying V in her body vs, dead V her engram in cyberspace or even in mikoshi
I abandoned the witcher, not my setting.

What is the problem?
Is it the first time we see anything like that in an RPG? In dlc, the player arrives at some new location, where he came from - who gets f*cked, the issue is solved with a couple of notes.
I see what you mean, I just find it not effective from a storytelling standpoint.
If you end the first game saying that "there is no cure / you will die" and start the second game by "finding a cure", then you are basically saying that what you said earlier was nonsense. It's "bait and switch" and it pretty much undermines the writers' ability.
Imagine in GOT **SPOILERS** they bring back characters like Joffrey or Ned Stark in the next episodes following their deaths, saying that they found a "cure" or any other excuse? The writers would be immediately clowned.
This seems pretty obvious to me which is why I think the endings are final
Because after spending 80-100 hours trying to survive - to hand waive away accomplishing that, after all V went through only to fail and be dead/dying would be both a shock and a slap in the face
Enter V - street in X city. Big note on screen explaining how V came back from cyberspace into a body and/or found someone to cure V. easy peasy.
My money is not riding on this option.
