Really depressed about the endings too, I went with the nomands ending (panam love interest) as my canon ending, but there are several things that I don't like about it.
First, I get that the game portrays the city as evil basically, all the shit that is going on, fucked up sidestories, no one can be trusted etc. and family is the important thing, since you lose yours at the beginning of the game and with the nomad ending find a new one, BUT as a city person myself I'd rather stay in the city with panam, instead of going mad max in the badlands.
And second, V dying withing 6 months is just plain BS. If the biochip changes your DNA it would also mean that a new biochip could reverse that and change it back to V's DNA. Also if your immune system attacks those changed neurons it would also mean that they would attack the neurons if johnny takes over, he would be dead within months as well. And you can't fuckin tell me that with all that cyberware being basically normal, that there wouldn't be any immune system suppressants that could stop your neurons from being killed, hell we have stuff like that today for transplantations.
Also to add one last thing, the people saying that V is only a copy after Alt does her magic are not completely right, V is still alive in the body, Alt creates an engram and puts it back in, merging real dying V with copy V, but can't wrap my head around why she didn't just create a new biochip version V with nanites that fix your body right up again.
So yeah, not satisfied with the endings at all, I really hope there will be DLC set AFTER the main story where you figure this shit out. I don't have anything against bad endings per se but this just doesn't make sense, and all the time invested into my character feels pointless.
