Forgive my poor English.
But I wish it will be the fact, not a suspicion.
And actually it should be a patch, not a DLC, but they may have to finish the story by DLC.
First at all, CDPR doesn’t finish the main story. It doesn’t means V have to gain a living-ending, which I will explain later, but the story structure is totally wrong.
After V get relic, we just spend a week, which help Takemura to visit Hanako, then V suddenly dying, and the story end. Basically, the main story obviously just start and be scrapped. CDPR use the ending story to make it looks OK, but anyone who come down from the mood should realized the main story is uncompleted.
CDPR even design the interface to the true story: The visit with Hanako. Anyone can continue the story from that point.
At this timing, V have two strong motive, which is both relate to Arasaka:
After that, V win the friendship from Yorinobu and control the situation, Yorinobu can secret cancel the wanted, but he can’t fix the relic. Hanako hide to the shadow and have two Ultra-weapon, the relic of Saburo, and the super- carrier, she is far from failed. Hellman is a henchman of Hanako, but after her hidden, Hellman have to run. The assault to Hellman should be work at this point, not the timing in first version, but it will hard to change.
Whatever, fight with Hanako and try to fix the relic will be a long story ( Or not too long, 10-15 hours gaming time is good enough ), the true main story, V may have to doom the carrier, which even should take the aid of other Company. And V will find Hanako finally. The story come to a new step at this point, Hanako won’t await her doom, she have a plan, and she win the game this time.
Maybe she put a relic to her head so that Saburo revive, he can’t use her body well, but enough to shutdown Yorinobu‘s power. V lost everything, Yorinobu failed, the only conclusion Hellman give is V will die in 6 month.
Suddenly, V start to understand Johnny, their character changed, Johnny is the true owner of the body, V is a revive ghost. The body belongs to V has already dead at the dump, dead because ambition and bad luck, dead with Jackie, T-bug, Dex and Evelyn, they touch the wrong job, they got the paid. Relic save Johnny not V, he is… a bug, an accident.
The story will make V, and us, understand it, that’s why I think it’s hard to make V alive. Of course, hard doesn’t means impossible, actually I believe at least the true devil-ending can make V survive.
Whatever, it’s hard to recognize the cruel truth, V would do some mad things, even suicide, but he finally made it. V may resuscitate at the dump again, and Johnney say the word in the trailer: let’s burn the city to the ash. Then, they attack the Arasaka tower again, they have to kill Saburo and destroy Mikoshi, V will die, but the city and Arasaka will pay for that, which is very close as the ending we already got.
Let’s talk about the new devil-ending.
At the core room of Mikoshi, Saburo is waiting, he has caught Yorinobu and try to transfer into his body, the system is ready, and V got a chance to live…BY TAKING YORINOBU’S BODY. The Relic will do the same thing happened at V, Johnny take V’s body, V take other’s, FAIR ENOUGH.
But will you do that? Betray everything, even your own body, to get everything, the whole Arasaka.
Or you will accept the fate of death?
Tragedy is always meaningful.
Certainly, player always want all, that’s why a secret-ending is also important. Player don’t care how risky and hard the plan have, So maybe CDPR will made one. Actually, It’s not too hard to live. We will became a relic anyway, so just find a body. If we don’t want to lose our kindness, Total Cyborg is a good choice, maybe Biotechnica is working for that and have some secret progress, which can be touched at some mission. The key tech they miss is Soulskiller, which we just have.
——————————
BTW, it’s the main-story discussion so I haven’t say anything out of main-story, but CDPR have much to fix. Such as the Voodoo Boys, that mission is wrong, the writer just give 2 basic way to finish the story, which both not fit for V. Writer is too focus at the dramatic to keep the rationality well. The demand of Placide is nothing but put a gun to V’s head, everyone in cyberworld knows it. It can’t be so easy, It should cause the conflict immediately, V may shoot him just like Royce. And it even won’t change the story a lot, Brigitte has been caught by Netwatch and V have to save her. The problem is, why CDPR hasn’t make it? They should do.
I wish they can fix this, and many like this.

- Relic is killing V SLOWLY
