What Cyberpunk is a little bit different, it's because most of the side quests could be in the main quest line (like in most of other games).I get your point. Although I was talking primarily about the main quest line as opposed to any side quests and possible romances.
Which was the issue for me. The main story is rather vapid, and the game relies on side quests to give it some purpose. And I tended to concentrate on the main quest primarily because that death clock is given so much focus anything else comes over as unrealistic to pursue. End result, not much changes.
But I think Pawel have mentioned that in his streams :
In the little time you have left, you want to do everything to try to save your life (and nothing else) and probably not to succeed (Vik thinks it will be difficult/impossible, Hellman says that it's not possible, you will die anyway).
Or try to live "normally" instead, like helping people. So meet River/Kerry/Panam/Judy and maybe start a romantic relationship... Or help a possible future mayor of Night City. It's a bit like Athur who go saving John at the end while he is on the verge of death in RDR2 (like he say to Dutch "I tried at least").
So yeah, in main quest, not "many" changes. But even before and after endings, the world have a little bit changed (except in one ending). Like Araska is no longer the first Corpo in the world, Mikoshi and all the engrams are destroyed/disappeared, the Soulkiller is no longer active, the Aldecaldos take a "good" new start elsewhere, Hanako/Goro/Hoda are dead, Saburo is "really dead" (after 150 years), V is the new boss of the Afterlife...
The bomb it's after Alt death. Johnny doesn't really say it, but it feels like it turned his brainOn that point though; I'm unclear as to why Arasaka even 'saved' Johnny by storing him on the relic, other than as a plot setup.
And they keep him as engram, exactly for the same reasons as the guys from Arasaka questioned Johnny, but like Saburo said "the dead don't lie, it's not in their nature". So Saburo could "extract" easily all the informations that Johnny know (Like "Who work with him" for example, to destroy/anihilate the Altantis and all the mercs/fixers except Rogue...)
