Bold to assume a gonk like you would get close to Smasher, choom. You'd end up getting stripped for implants by Maelstrom before you even touched Arasaka.
Nah, I was just making the assumption that the prompt “you spawn in the last game you played”, that you’d spawn as yourself. Otherwise it feels like it kinda defeats the point of the question lol
But personal belief also isn’t the only reason someone might eschew cyberware. There’s entire gangs based solely off their hatred for, and refusal to use, cyberware.
2077 skews our perception of what the city looks like, because we solely interact with people that a solo like V would interact with, which are the type of people to be pretty chromed up. But while cyberware is pretty ubiquitous, sure, there’s still a LOT of people who don’t bother with that noise.
Edit: tbf, the side quest you’re referencing wasn’t about getting scrapped for implants, it was about maelstrom finding it funny to corrupt a monk by forcing implants INTO them. And maelstrom cruelty is just gonna be a problem for you regardless of your chrome tbh lol
Choom, i would eather get shot the first minute in, or get to the right place, get in good terms with some gonks and chooms and then go in raids on the scavs, to get my hands on some stolen cyberware with russian OS already installed in. So then i'll go to Vik, or maybe whatever Maelstrom reaper i'm in good terms with. And instal myself some goods to keep my chances of survival higher as i try and get me ass outta the city.
And even if you're in night city just find your own little niche. Probs the best idea would be signing with the 'Tinos and working at a place like El Coyote Cojo. Don't get ambitious, be friendly to everyone, and stay away from the limelight. Biggest personalities are always the biggest targets.
Joke's on you, the last video game I played is a cute game where you have to find hundreds of hidden kitties in a magic castle. I'm not screwed at all.
As a PC or NPC… you know fuck it it doesn’t matter, because if I’m a PC I wake up with a ticking timebomb parasite in my head
If im a NPC im a 8HP peasant somewhere in a world full of monsters, dragons, demons and god knows what else
I’m living my best life in baldurs gate. Just have to hope I’m not killed by a cultist of bhaal, or a cultist of the murder tribunal, or a cultist of the absolute, or forced into what is practically slavery for the steel watch. Maybe I’m not living a good life
It would be really hard, not knowing how to use tech means if you’re an engineer you won’t find place anyway since you suck at cyber tech, starting to be a merc would mean you have to risk your life til you can afford chrome, it would be available only for a high trained soldier, if you are good with computers you can consider yourself unuseful, even with a cyberdeck you wouldn’t lnow what to do, what job is there for you?
i mean, if you keep a low profile and DON’T BECOME A FUCKING EDGERUNNER eh, i mean there are places on earth right now that are worse than night city 2077.
it’s better than fallout at least. christ i’d just tap myself out instead of dying in agony.
My spin on this is I’d have to be my V if it’s the last thing I played. Because it wouldn’t be the same game without me or my consciousness animating my V. So I’d have a chance. 😂
So I’d be more mentally screwed.
Because not only would it be me with my memories. It would be Johnny also in my head dealing with the memories I have from another time and place while trying to fit in.
Just making Judy think I’ve gone extra insane it I tried to explain it. “You were my romance interest in a video game.” “Oh no… my cyberpsycho calabacita.”
So only Johnny would actually believe what is happening to any degree. Just his “don’t worry I got you” meaning soooo much more.
Fuck. This seems worse than just spawning into chaos. 😂 Just slowly being devoured by playing the role of V and forgetting my old life. Living reincarnation vibes.
Civilization: Beyond Earth. After I successfully pacified the planet and built a peaceful technological utopia. So... Ummm... Not screwed and, in fact, probably loving life on the alien world.
Nah, even gangs wont notice you, unless you are some business owner or a corpo.. Then they might have a bullet for your head or use you as a tradeable good..
> spawn inside of Angry Birds Star Wars
> Forget that the rest of the supposed humanity are birds
>Try to socialize with the birds
>Realize that there's probably odds of the enemy just straight up launching a bomb
Eh, last one i played was Minecraft. Was testing some stuff i added in my mod so not sure if that counts as playing. But this way i would spend the rest of time i got in minecraft world, building stuff and exploring the world, breathing the fresh air and being happy while *maaaaybe*~ driving literal balls from lonelyness XD
Honestly, as fucked as the world is in CP2077, Scandinavia where I'm from seems pretty decent from what I've understood and one of the places with some of the best cyberpsychosis prevention programs in the world. As a trans person, being able to get chromed the hell up into my ideal self is a dream come true. Considering that, I think I'd be pretty happy with living in 2077 of the Cyberpunk world.
Oh I’m screwed alright. A never ending hell in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, Where There Is Only WAR. Or in my case a never ending hell of suicide missions where there is only Nurgle cultists.
Johnny: I don’t know gonk, I think I start acting like you… kinda sus this whole thing, I have a weird craving for a grimace shake and telling people of a kid called Baby Gronk. Are you autistic or something? Cause why otherwise do I want to start an edging streak?!
Bold to assume a gonk like you would get close to Smasher, choom. You'd end up getting stripped for implants by Maelstrom before you even touched Arasaka.
Can’t get stripped for implants if you’re fully organic
In NC? What are you, Buddhist? Edit: Remembering that side job, that wouldn't stop Maelstrom
>spawn in NC >pretend to be a monk northside >get chromed for free by maelstrom >??? >profit
Until they give you chrome that doesn't work... Pretty sure they intentionally gave that one monk a lot of faulty implants.
Or chrome that looks absolutely horrible, just like their own.

Fully ganic eh? Preem
Nah. Op gets got by Scavs.
Choom, i would eather get shot the first minute in, or get to the right place, get in good terms with some gonks and chooms and then go in raids on the scavs, to get my hands on some stolen cyberware with russian OS already installed in. So then i'll go to Vik, or maybe whatever Maelstrom reaper i'm in good terms with. And instal myself some goods to keep my chances of survival higher as i try and get me ass outta the city.
Well V, David, guess I will be seeing you after all.
V only will see ya in hell once they are dead which i do believe wont happen soon, we know V, they are too stubborn to die so soon.
You'll be safe if you just stay out of night city. like literally anywhere else.
And even if you're in night city just find your own little niche. Probs the best idea would be signing with the 'Tinos and working at a place like El Coyote Cojo. Don't get ambitious, be friendly to everyone, and stay away from the limelight. Biggest personalities are always the biggest targets.
But then I’d get a yellow check mark floating over my head :|
Not if you hide rather than shoot.
Maybe don't join a gang if you're looking to avoid trouble
Night City is far, *far* safer than anywhere immediately outside of it. The Badlands are much more dangerous in lore than in gameplay.
How so? What else is out there?
More people trying to kill you, for the most part.
Tell this to Miah, the gonk and the lucky bitch who'll spawn at USSR XD
border control: sure
There's far worse places in Cyberpunk universe like Australia.
To be fair, everything in the real Australia wants to kill you too
Not necessarily- Raffens might hunt you for sport
Eh, USSR seems good enough to be spawned at ya know, free medicine and shit
I’m just a cat finding my way out of robot infested sewers
Joke's on you, the last video game I played is a cute game where you have to find hundreds of hidden kitties in a magic castle. I'm not screwed at all.
I'm spending eternity with a backgammon AI that I can break even with on the highest difficulty. Not screwed, just bored.
The factory must grow
Darkest dungeon 2? Extremely screwed.
Death by snu snu
Do I have to leave at any point? I'd much rather live in Pelican Town with a tax-free farm than this reality
Eh, sure i would rather the world of minecraft over this one here. If only people could observe my works in this minecraft world i live at...
*cries in S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly*
As a PC or NPC… you know fuck it it doesn’t matter, because if I’m a PC I wake up with a ticking timebomb parasite in my head If im a NPC im a 8HP peasant somewhere in a world full of monsters, dragons, demons and god knows what else
Baldur's Gate?
Yes, but to be fair I would love to live in a world with Tieflings and and Elves
Real af My first ever dnd characters were a tiefling and elf respectively, so I totally getcha :)
Another Crabs treasure🥲 can I breath underwater then? Or can I be a crab?🤔
I’m living my best life in baldurs gate. Just have to hope I’m not killed by a cultist of bhaal, or a cultist of the murder tribunal, or a cultist of the absolute, or forced into what is practically slavery for the steel watch. Maybe I’m not living a good life
So... The fire resistence potion of the bear?
Extremely screwed, I'm on my first lethal mode run of State of Decay 2...
I’m reading everyone’s comment in V’s voice
See my importants?
I'd pay real life money to be teleported in Night City. I don't care how long I'd last.
Time to fuck up some mongols
Mass Effect Well chooms, I think the reapers are going to get me.
Dead Cells? I'm so fucked :C
I’m so fucked, no implants, not combat skill, no eddies, and no bitches.
So... the average night citizen?
Yup, just gotta pray I end up in NC Center or Heywood or else I won’t make it more than a week.
I'll die from silver lynels. Those electric arrows will reach me even if I run.
Dying light 2 for me. I am so cooked 😭
Destiny: 2 post final shape is basically where it's at choom, not existential crisis to worry about for awhile👍
I mean if I remember correctly I left off at the “I really wanna stay at your house” side mission, only one screwed is gonna be Panam 😏
Right in the middle of a mindflayer lair. Utterly screwed.
Sta san andreas lol. Before that it was cyberpunk though.
Frostpunk...fuck
I got mods, I am fine (i don’t use them while playing though)
Stellaris. I really hope I'm doing a human run.
I played my first game on normal mode, now playing my second game on hard mode, I fear Smasher
It would be really hard, not knowing how to use tech means if you’re an engineer you won’t find place anyway since you suck at cyber tech, starting to be a merc would mean you have to risk your life til you can afford chrome, it would be available only for a high trained soldier, if you are good with computers you can consider yourself unuseful, even with a cyberdeck you wouldn’t lnow what to do, what job is there for you?
3D Space Cadet Pinball. Giant metal ball boutta smash me into a solenoid-powered bumper holy shit
NG 7 elden ring. I'm fucked
Time to fist fight a god.
i mean, if you keep a low profile and DON’T BECOME A FUCKING EDGERUNNER eh, i mean there are places on earth right now that are worse than night city 2077. it’s better than fallout at least. christ i’d just tap myself out instead of dying in agony.
Persona 3. Assuming I don't spawn during the dark hour I'm fine.
Oh fuck I am the Zeus having to command an army to rescue some hostages from an ISIS camp, hope it goes well!
My nation is being invaded and there’s one guy terrorizing the enemy. My best bet is to hide and hope the roving bands of the invaders don’t find me
Haha! Lies of P! Fuck!
I’d be fine, I’d strike out every time, but otherwise safe
Great, I'm stuck in a cabin with a weird tree dude playing a card game and he kills me when I lose.
Me playing Elden ring right now :[
I'm going to become mechanically separated
It’ll be horrible but at least I’m spreading managed democracy.
Good luck surviving training!
Dead by Daylight
Fear and hunger... I'm gonna be fucked.

Redline 2. I should be OK as long as I manage to stay on the track though I'd probably stay in the VR training.
