So that was I'm questioning if the overall % of relic destruction seems to be around the same number - about 60ish percent - in Legend/Arasaka/Nomad (despite fabular progression and relation with Johny Silverhand) epilogues we can somehow assume or hope the post-fabular DLC will come.

Like I said, I hope we get mid-game DLC that gives new endings. They could do post-game endings, I admit, but that would require a lot more work I suspect to remove all the Johnny content and somehow reconcile Arasaka's and Johnny's endings with the ones where V survives.

Mind you, I suppose they could all end up with you in a hospital, no idea how you got there and no Johnny. Johnny does give a very V-like "cough" in the end of his ending.

Don't think you can look at it in the Arasaka ending.
 
Could someone tell what % of Relic destruction (3 progression bar in character menu) we will get in other than Nomad epilogue (60%) - I am just curious about whether it is different or the same in all cases?
I got 2 endings first was The Sun

The second was New Dawn Fades

And this is the maximum percent I reached in each of them

So maybe, by the chance of the rest of endings have also 60% of relic destruction, the "New Dawn Fades" is way our canon?

I don't count "If you have a problem just kill yourself" as a solution to ANY of problems
 
I also have the Arasaka ending but the game doesn't let you check stats in the menu, I'm trying it now to see it there is a moment we can do it

Thanks for that. So we have:
?% in the Arasaka ending
60% on Nomad and Star endings
0% on Johny's endings

That's also way to open-ended that it should be..
 
Maybe you can look at It when you are given a chance to get mad with all of test they made one you?

Tested it now, saddly not.
- though i loaded a safe after i was allowed to make the phone calls; so if so maybe before that, but i doubt it-
Even seeing the "You get the devil card tarot" pop-up i couldn't hit z fast enough to go there or something.

I don't want to comment on how much work it would be to do something like this, but the precedent is already there in several quests in act 1. He shows up twice when you save the monk in act 2, but he has no appearance if you do it in act 1.

It's also entirely possible that, in light of CDPR's official comments on Judy's sexual preference and the male voice overs, they had already accounted for this in production.

60% of Relic fault means there is still hope to fix it in any manner (with blueprints and full data that V still have)
0% means Johny have perfect assimilation with V's DNA - even if V is female- because fuck logic.
?% means nothing to me

Edit:
Why Relic activates when human dies? Relic in Jackie's body did not activates but it will activate in Yorinobu body just like he is dead person?

Alt wasn't created by Soulkiller if you read Cyberpunk RED. Alt was actually alive and in the Arasaka mainframe, about to return to her body, when Johnny unplugged her.

The entire reason she's pissed is she was like seconds away from coming back.

What made Alt an incredible Netrunner was the fact that she was able to put her consciousness completely in computer mainframes, separate from her body.
From the wiki

Altiera Cunningham, or Alt, was first introduced in the Cyberpunk 2013 mini adventure Never Fade Away as the girlfriend of famous Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. She is described as a beautiful and talented netrunner; having developed the Soulkiller program for the ITS corporation before being kidnapped by Arasaka. She is the first victim of Soulkiller and her consciousness exists only as a digital ghost on the Net.

If you ask Hellerman, he says the relic is designed to revive dead bodies. Because it wasn't designed for demonic possession.

And yes, if Jackie had died with it in him, it would have activated.

The wiki is wrong and you can read the Cyberpunk Red short story.

Same here, tested the Arasaka ending but it doesn't work

So how they turn Jackie into engram while he is already dead after The Heist?

So we are forced to assume, in Arasaka ending, they put the Saburo Relic in Yorinobu head, then kill him to revive the Saburo?

I think that's exactly how it is meant to work.

It's interesting that it always fails when put on dead bodies but works when you kill someone and they have it in them.

The wiki is perfectly right...
 
So my first ending was going with Arasaka to remove the Relic and then returning to Earth. It was bittersweet, but left me feeling hopeful that my inevitable death would be on my terms and no one else's. I went back and decided to let them turn me into an engram just to say I've seen that side of things, but boy was that rough. Took all my will just to click that option, and then when it came up with "Surrender to Arasaka" before entering the surgery room, it was like everything inside of me was screaming to run. I think becoming an engram has got be the absolute worst ending to choose, worse than even the suicide one because you're not going out on your own terms, you're selling your very soul to a corporation that has proven time and time again to be sinister to its core. Well at least I can see I watched it, but it was honestly rough.

I felt every ounce of fear expressed in those final moments and I'm truly shaken to my core just thinking about this ending. Losing my soul scares me more than anything. I just had to write this out so it wouldn't wreck me mentally.

I literally have the book open in front of me.

Beautiful V! You got Jennifer Lawrence to play her.

Hellman can just delete you when he feels like it.

In addition, hellman is the buyer not even the Arasaka company.

Yeah the guy we scared to death and ruined his new job owns you now like a piece of furniture.
