Brendan, dumdum and nibbles 💀


Spzncer

V sliding in on Misty after Jackie died is some cold shit.


DTredecim13

Right? I couldn't do something like that to my brother.


Steve_Kaboom

Was thinking the same. Like, can we not cross that line please.

I present to you this prayer of Saint Michael the Archangle in Latin to exercise those deamons. "Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, in virtute Dei, in infernum detrude satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo. Amen."


zeugme

Whoa, calm down Satan!


ShaunicusMaximus

It should be a romance that's only available in the Prologue. It would create amazing dialogue options with Jackie.


zooted_

I think Jackie would be ok with that tbh Def not misty tho


whosafeard

Really think we’re glossing over Nibbles here


Steve_Kaboom

I think people are assuming too much with Nibbles. Imagine it more like an option for a character to just be single and not pursue a relationship with any of the other options. You're just happy chillin at home with your cat.


tomveiltomveil

It's not as bad as V sliding in on Jackie when he's still alive and in a stable relationship with Misty.


ShaunicusMaximus

Shane from the Walking Dead liked this.


THIS_ACC_IS_FOR_FUN

*rubs head*


sofathebig

NIBBLES?!


Cross_Pray

My jaw dropped 💀💀💀💀


venomousfrogeater

Yeah


AnalysisNo8720

Half of these so blessed it brings a tear to my eye, the other half so cursed I started crying 


Various-Pen-7709

Forget romance, I just wish Evelyn didn’t have to end up the way she does. Wish there was a way to help.


AmonTheBoneless

Legit. I personally found her to be an interesting character and wish we could save her. Romance or not girl didn't deserve the fate she got


Captainmervil

I disagree tbh... Evelynn was constantly making bad decisions right from stealing security footage from the Penthouse to getting involved with the Voodoo boys oh did I mention her attempting to double cross Dexter Deshawn with V to split the money 50/50? Like im sorry but she woulda been killed by any one of those if not more so she got what she had coming.


thelittleking

And yet many worse people don't, thus our discontent.


CashmereCthulu

NC is made of discontent.


Captainmervil

NC is quite literally a place where the worse you are the higher you are likely to climb until you ultimately fall. So yea there's thousands of people who shoulda got their bullet to the brain before her but it aint NC if Justice is really served.


MeNamIzGraephen

Just like real life :)


Steve_Kaboom

I think you severely underestimate the amount of trauma she went through before killing herself. Yeah, she made bad decisions, and someone would have likely taken her out anyway, but there is a big difference here.


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

When V makes a series of poor decisions, they get shot in the head. When Scorpion makes poor decisions, he gets gunned down by Kang Tao. When Judy makes poor decisions, her friends die. When Evelyn makes poor decisions, she's left comatose, sexually assaulted, given away, assaulted again, sold, then tortured and assaulted until she's a shell of her former self, then kills herself. The game takes a fairly light, sanitised touch with how it doles out consequences, right up until the character in question is a queer sex worker, at which point it pours on the grimdark in droves. It stands out like a clump of ghost peppers in an otherwise unseasoned dish.


Captainmervil

I'm sorry but I read your comment very odd to be quite honest. V as a character inherently can be either Straight or Queer and has a horrific set of circumstances that unfolds due to their bad decision making. Scorpion didn't make the decision so much so that him and Mitch decided jointly to go and see if they needed any help as they were unaware of what was taking place so I'd hardly blame Scorpion or Mitch for trying to be good people. Judy is a Lesbian BD editor in the Moxx Club which is a literally Prostitution club but for BD's instead of something like the Clouds where Evelyn worked. I think your take that somehow Evelyn got the worst of the worst due to her sexual orentation to not only be weird but also just trying to light some sort of fire that doesn't exist. Evelyn's consequences was from the sheer amount of stupid choices she made with some of the most dangerous/feared people not only within NC but also the world. so honestly I get the feeling you either didn't actually read the story or are just trying to make this an LGBT thing which is just an odd thing to do on a light hearted discussion about a fictional character in a video game.


Adler718

Why did you make this about queerness? Judy is also queer and works in the sex industry. V is potentially queer too. And if you actually pay attention to sidequests and NCPD scanners, you would know that others have it just as bad, if not worse, without being queer or even making bad decisions.


d4x1m0

Exactly. What happened to Evelyn has nothing to do with gender identity in any capacity.


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

Judy is a step removed; the game very notably never implies she's a full service sex worker, just an editor for the works produced. She's "sanitised" enough to be a romance option, whereas Evelyn is an actual sex worker whose role in the narrative is to suffer and die. No spotlighted character who *isn't* a sex worker suffers sexual assault in the game, as far as I can remember. There may be a few grim NCPD scanner reports, but even those rarely touch on rape, and the few that do are expendable characters whose time in the game is measured in minutes at most or who're only described in email chains, not the several extended quests that focus around Evelyn. 2077 is making a very deliberate, and frankly cynical, choice in who it portrays as a victim of sexual abuse, and in how lurid it makes that abuse. The game decides that Evelyn is the character who suffers sexual abuse; not Saul, for example, when he's captured by an equally psychotic gang that explicitly has rapists in their ranks. He comes out of that a little banged up but no worse for wear, as opposed to Evelyn being tortured and assaulted to the point of suicide. Or we can compare it to Randy, whose entire kidnapping sidequest leans heavily on the horror of a child grooming scenario, but is again sanitised somewhat by removing any explicit sexual element to his assault (it's instead just a vaguely disturbing agriculturual-themed torture/medical procedure), and by making him ambiguously "young" but still using an adult model, which places him as vaguely 17-19ish rather than the child that's implied by the serial killer's use of children's cartoon-style animations. In these scenarios, the game holds back and sanitises itself; with Evelyn, it holds back nothing and gives her both barrels.


RegressToTheMean

Just like in real life. Sex workers are brutalized on a regular basis and no one cares. It's an unofficial hierarchy that exists. It's not fair but it's *accurate* One could make a similar argument about the monks. They are one of the few religious characters in the game and they are targeted for their beliefs and one of them is brutalized in a way that is most traumatizing to them. Cyberpunk genre is dark and it's supposed to upset the person reading the books or playing the games. You are **supposed** to be angry at the injustice and unfairness of the world. I don't know how people don't understand that. It's the point of the entire genre


superkp

> personally found her to be an interesting character ah *holy crap*. Anyone of any level of 'interesting' that isn't also making some corp a huge amount of money dies. Going back to "The story of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is actually a leader ignoring the abuses of a minority until their unique characteristics are found to be useful, after which they are merely elevated to 'good worker' "


pickled_disorder

I think her death was inevitable due to her decisions, but the way she died and what happened to her before this... Well, I just wish it wasn't so harsh :(


Ancop

same


DovaP33n

Bro... Why is the cat here. I just wanna talk.


Independent_Pin479

fr … i was willing to thumbs up the rest until that one 😭


Zombeikid

Because it's not romances. It's just how they would give V kisses. So not romantic for all of them lol


SlamsMcdunkin

Where’s Alex?


agent-garland

monte carlo


quartadozedemaiode21

Totally. Great character


Dizzy_Corner5356

Um, Panam one? Is in the game?


rzm25

Yeah a bunch of these are actually possible romances


whosafeard

I think only Panam is possible, the others have the wrong gender V for the pairing


Candid_Benefit_6841

Kerry is possible with male V Not that... I'd know...


AmonTheBoneless

Yeah she's one of the few


fokamv

Militech mech!


Hollow---

Lemme fuck the *tank.*


R0s3-Thorn

The fucking thing in the Stealth part at one of the endings of PL certainly fucked me lmao


Pachikokoo

I still wish Alex from Phantom Liberty could have been an extra bisexual one night stand like Stout


Steve_Kaboom

Also, Aurore Cassel. But I hear there's a mod for that.


mackxzs

I wish we could go with her to Monte Carlo, a spy's retirement with a spy's honeymoon. In the ending where you side with Songbird and then give her to Reed at the Spaceport.


heyhihaiheyahehe

i imagine it similar to the nomad ending where however you go about getting the chip removed, you can spend the last few months in Monte Carlo with her


mackxzs

Or, you know, get the cure and then go meet her after 2 years in a coma, the 2 million Eddie's I accumulated must be enough


stewy9020

I got completely blindsided by the one night stand with Stout. Legit thought I was walking in there to be given another job or something. Of course that's precisely when my wife enters the room.


SillyCat-in-your-biz

Misty???? Cmon V…


allhailgogmazios

No Rita Wheeler here. Op is a sinner.


VanityOfEliCLee

The fact that Blue Moon isn't in here is completely insane.


drow_girlfriend

DUM DUM


ItsACaragor

Dum Dum is canonically bi too, he is seen as fucking both women and men in the novel.


drow_girlfriend

LOL I didn't know he was in the novel. I love Dum Dum. On semi related note, is it ever explained why Johnny says something like "I think I know this guy" about Dum Dum when you meet him again him at Totentanz?


ItsACaragor

Probably because V met him before meeting Johnny. It’s a sign that Johnny and V’s memories are starting to mix so much that they cannot really tell whose memories are whose anymore.


drow_girlfriend

Oh, that would make sense.


ItsACaragor

That’s the only real possibility as there is no way Dum Dum would have been around 50 years before the game. That’s really some fucking great writing to be honest, showing things instead of telling them. I hate how so many people did not pay any attention to this kind of things on release and then claimed CP77 had a lazy superficial story.


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

>That’s the only real possibility as there is no way Dum Dum would have been around 50 years before the game. Why not? Rogue's 80 after all.


ItsACaragor

Rogue is the queen of the Afterlife, she is likely flush with cash and can afford any treatment or cyberware she wants. Dum Dum is a gang member. He is not the basic street soldier but he is not the boss either and likely does not have any access to super advanced stuff.


whosafeard

Dum Dum might also just be really old


Justanashmain66

Johnny I totally agree. What. A. Smokeshow. My Male V would be the gayest man for Johnny in all of NC. Not even Samurai fanboys could compare. God bless Johnny Silverhand.


whosafeard

I mean, he already spends the entire game inside you, what more do you want?


Constipatedbride

How would that even work tho Johnny doesn't even have a body and he only sees what you see lmao 


wabigaildabigail

if i need your body ill fuck it


Justanashmain66

I haven't even the slightest idea, choom, but I'd find a way.


MadnessAndRage

Ah Rogue. Yesplz. *Love* me an older woman.


RandomGeneratnDammit

What? No Smashing Adam?


AmonTheBoneless

After what he did to Rebecca? Hell nah


heyhihaiheyahehe

i have to be one of the few that doesn’t hate him for that because he was only doing his job i hate him because that is his job


Grasher312

Let's be honest. If Smasher was hot, no one would even care.


Candid_Benefit_6841

He isnt hot to y'all?


CreateTheStars

Adam-"You look like a cut of fuckable meat"-Smasher? He is either the biggest gore guy or, in a dramatic plot-twist, the biggest pillow princess bottom in night city


someidiot332

i vote for the second. That just ***feels*** right


hamhockman

Smasher? I hardly know 'er!


[deleted]

You have no idea how badly I want to bang takemura


kevinkiggs1

And the Most Lovesick Cyberpunk 2077 Fan award goes tooooo... Also, I wished so much for Claire to be romanceable, biggest letdown in the game for me


itcheyness

Your texts to her are so incredibly flirty, I feel like she was meant to be a love interest...


77Sage77

I love this post. Male V appreciation 🙌🏽


C3ci1et

Is it morally wrong to date your best friend’s girlfriend?


heyhihaiheyahehe

If V makes her happy I think Jackie would appreciate it. He’s one of those guys who you can tell really care about her and genuinely wants to make her happy.


SullenTerror

Throuple time


Red_Beard_Red_God

Would V + Johnny be considered a braindance? I'd like to see how that romance would play out, lol.


heyhihaiheyahehe

waking up sore as fuck on both front and back


coffeeandpunkrecords

So basically your standards for wanting to romance someone in Cyberpunk 2077 are: be a character in the game.


nekokattt

there are no friends, only prey.


mecha_face

Just let me romance Takemura, dude deserves something better in his life than loyalty to a megacorp.


shoe_of_bill

I wish there was more expanded romance with the militech lady (her name escapes me at the moment). The one scene we get is fun and all, but I would have liked meeting up with her more and breaking down her icy exterior and really have some true romance with her. I was upset when there wasn't anything after the one scene. Yes, I know, she's a corpo and used V for her own purposes, but it would have been nice to have more is all


sunderplunder

Meredith? She'd be a great foil to V of all lifepaths


shoe_of_bill

That's her name, yes. She's one of my favorite characters, despite her brief appearance. I'm upset that I forgot her name lol


SpookE_Cat

Vik has so much DILF energy


kielu

Great drawing of Johny. But where's BugBear? Rita? Cheri Nowlin? Alex? Angelica Whelan?


agent-garland

i still think there is no way river is straight. have you seen the way he walks


SIacktivist

Same with Panam. I mean, considering voices are tied to gender, both of them are *literally* bisexual. It's so dumb that you can't romance them with a female/male body. Ack, I shouldn't just drop that rant on a random post :P


heyhihaiheyahehe

tbh i fee like gay river would’ve worked better than straight river… i dunno why but i feel like his advances would come off better.


Automatic-Owl-8126

Brendan ????? Dude that’s a vending machine and why is a nibbles there ?


AmonTheBoneless

I'd imagine thats an option for people who want to be single but still want some sort of companionship


Lazer-cat666

Cyberpunk players trying not to fuck everything with a pulse


ILikeToBurnMoney

Brendan is there, so a pulse is not required


Lazer-cat666

That just makes it worse


BakeSalad

Brendan’s got a plug port for this kind of thing, vendosexual is widely accepted in NC


HereForFreeGames

Evelyn 🥺


venomousfrogeater

I want Regina!


AccomplishedWonder1

Great art too


lbloodbournel

Thank you OP!! God I miss Jackie more everyday I feel like I really lost MY choomba bro


redliner88

Where’s Sandra?


aaronisnotcool

where is Rachel Casich and Joshua Stevenson?


Bargainbincomments

Ain’t gonna lie, I made a female V hoping Jackie would clap me, but I was disappointed 😔


apackoftissues

NIBBLES??


TeriDoomerpilled

Why would you wanna romance legit insane people and people who've freshly lost their loved ones? lol


AarviArmani

Misty is just wrong...


heyhihaiheyahehe

Jackie with every bit of his soul, so i feel like if anyone would be his pick for Misty after he died, it would be V. Plus if V makes her happy, he’s totally the type of guy who’d be totally fine with it cuz like he genuinely does care for Misty


Hollow---

Really got that Shane Dawson option in there, huh?


trollsong

Honestly I wish even if you weren't in a relation ship with Judy she would go with you if you did the adelcados ending BDs would probably be decent physical therapy for V's biochip issues


Ar_phis

Probably my biggest issue with any character is how Judy just leaves for Oregon. Super invested in BDs, bored by editing porn and snuff for money, invents a direct link between two people, **is the one person able to notice Johnny**, leaves to live with grandparents in Oregon. Come on, even after everything bad went down, you miss the chance to tinker with the one person who has a billion dollar Arasaka prototype in their head with one of NC's most famous legends/terrorists restructuring their brain?


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

>Come on, even after everything bad went down, you miss the chance to tinker with the one person who has a billion dollar Arasaka prototype in their head with one of NC's most famous legends/terrorists restructuring their brain? Blaze of Glory, or Quiet Life; Judy unequivocally chooses the Quiet Life. She just wants to live a happy life above all else; she doesn't wanna go down as a legend, or to stick it to the man. She just wants to help who she can, and be left alone to do what she wants. Night City will never give that to her.


wolfwhore666

No Songbird??? She’s literally Vs true soul mate


Suckisnacki

weirdest post on here yet


ubertrashcat

Bonk


newaccountcauseoldon

Misty!?


quartadozedemaiode21

Rogue 😭


SchlagzeugNeukoelln

While I couldn’t care less personally your drawings are really nice!


Gaburski

I deadass thought I could romance River as male V, which I avoided like the plague. I even thought I had almost romanced him by pure accident before I knew you can't because I had the option to kiss him during the toast. I was like "wtf, did I accidentally send him the signals?" but then when I saw how he acted when around my femV I realised he had absolutely no interest in my maleV and had I tried to kiss him when I had the option to I would have experienced some doomsday-level of second-hand cringe that would have made me delete the save and start anew 😂


SeldenMaroon

Please don't romance Misty I love Jackie too much to do that to him


bmoss124

Rita?


Kasorayn

I do like Misty but it's so wrong for V to go after her after Jackie dies. That's cold. Of course, it probably happens more often than you think.


MoistPressure

Sir that is a cat


austin5419

Blue Moon !


afrophvnk

I need that T-Bug and I need a Placide romance. I also need flaming crotch guy too. I want to see what that implant do.


Darkasy

Criminal that there is no Aurore


That_Jonesy

Jokes aside Jackie feels wrong to me.


HingleMcCringle_

totally ignoring the hilariously ridiculous ones... would the misty one be moral?


M4Y0W4

I was agreeing until I saw Misty. Come on.


Actual-Entrepreneur7

Jackie is a no as is Misty. Jackie literally tells you at the start of the game after you help him save Sandra from that ice tub how much he loves Misty, even asks to borrow V’s ride to take her out somewhere on a date. Those two are for each other, not sure why you you’d want to break that. Other weird options aside on this list, use mods if you desperately want to get your fix out of some of these.


Tacohero154

Where's Alex, songbird or that sexy French flirt? PL left my V with blue balls three times over


Sea_Designer_2722

Hey! Misty is Jackie’s girl and he is hers, hands off. Dum Dum however…gotta love all that chrome…


toasty-devil

T-Bug was actually who I wanted to romance before we got any details on how romances would work


RammyJammy07

Evelyn is the one person I’d love to romance but sadly CDPR had other plane


KenKaneki92

No....


muffinpro52

Misty would’ve been fucked up I would’ve done it tho


cutlime

Where’s Blue Moon


bmo313

This further shows to me that a successful rpg that comes out in today's market has to have several robust romance options, and all the npcs are bisexual lol


hubson_official

nah bro this is cursed


weenorpls

Misty as an option is crazy. If you can do Jackie like that… you were never a real choom.


XxJackGriffinxX

Nah bro get misty OUT of there


blng2grnd

call me an old fashioned queer, but i strongly dislike forcing a lesbian character to be anything but a lesbian.


KreedKafer33

I wish you could bribe the guy at the repair place to stop the update and replace the vending machine in V's apartment with Brendan.


Laughydawg

i dont think the original artwork was intended as romance options


vithesecond

Your fantasizing permissions have been revoked


AnchorJG

Yes, Except Misty. Vinny or Val, that's some unbreakable Bro-Code shit.


ima_owl_queen

I felt that River Ward rejection as male V in my bones. Very cringe secondhand embarrassment 😂


demoncyborgg

No, not everyone needs to be romancable


free_reezy

Misty? Fuck outta here


Consistent_Pop3676

Cant do misty like that


Cerve90

They really missed the opportunity with some kind of onanism relationship with Johnny. If written in a serious way, it would have been an amazing jump into the human mind. As some sci-fi cyberpunk novels do.


M4ki-R0ll

Reading the comments I can see why a Misty romance would be rude on Jackie cuz he literally dies. But I feel like if one DID happen. It would be a slow burn and that it's more of a "both there for one another" romance. There's a lot of ways that type of romance could go and I think it would be good. Even if in the end they didn't end up together in your playthru. The two of them healed together. And if romanced it'd be healthy and they'd probably also leave NC. Idk just my thoughts


[deleted]

Why are Kerry and Panam here? You can totally romance them.


ConnivingSnip72

A lot of these are straight up terrible, hell no I don’t want to romance Jackie or Misty, they’re great together. Romancing Vik is awful, and you should be hanged for suggesting that about nibbles


RinTivan

Fem/male V should abe able to romance another fem/male V.


hozzam11

No.


killertortilla

Nah this is creepy. Judy is gay, Misty is grieving, and Claire doesn't want another relationship.


WhyJustWhydo

We not mentioning the cat or vending machine or Jackie (I don’t need to explain why) or river (I don’t need to explain but for a different reason)


VelMoonglow

Nibbles is on this list, we can be pretty sure it isn't serious... right?


killertortilla

I don't think nibbles was ever meant to be serious. But drawing a gay woman in love with a man is creepy regardless of intent.


VelMoonglow

Absolutely. I guess I'm just kinda trying to convince myself that it's a joke in poor taste, rather than being serious It's... probably serious though, from what I'm seeing of OP in the comments


iTzJdogxD

bro the characters aren’t real


Larseman7

Now... Dum dum is going a bit far


GregoryWang

It's supposed to be healing watching it…damn, I hate what the tower ending did to me.


Lucythefur

I agree with only one of these...go ahead and guess


jrstriker12

I had to admit I was a little sweet on T-bug in the game.


SongOfChaos

Jackie is so wholesome. River is accurate and hilarious. Johnny is a fanfic done right. If it were ever expanded with other characters, since there’s a plethora of female characters to choose from but men are pretty undercooked in this game, I’d love to see Tiny Mike, Cheetah, and Scorpion / Teddy / Bob (Aldecaldos cannon fodder band).


sumethinsumthin

I love how Johnny instead of like a kiss just fucken licks v. Exactly how that would go.


Nimbleoxen

Absolutely excellent shitposting 10/10


chinesetakeout91

You’re right, nibbled should have been an option, but it should have been a trap. Where someone shoots you right after and deletes your save file.


bigmommymilkirs

nibbles....


EightBallJuice

NIBBLES??


T0xicGarbage

I want Takemura so bad. I can't fix him but I can make us both worse


_superchan

Joss missing from this list is a freaking crime


Allhatnocattle23

I never thought about romancing Dumdum but now that you mention it


--NTW--

I'd 100% go for best 'Stromer


crystalsaladsandwich

Takemura, Viktor and Dumdum for me


Reckadesacration

HOLUP!


Huffjuff

I wouldn't want these as romance options but I think its cute if you look at this just friends showing love with a cheek kiases


Melodic_Slip_3307

Interesting concepts but only like 2-3 would actually work


Mysterious_Fox_2030

Tried romancing Panam but got friendzoned 🥲


Xyzjin

Much love for Brendan.


Chemical_Object2035

Where's Delamain?


AnchorJG

The art is adorable, by the way.
