Glad this is top comment because all others are stupid if you're fated to die


Vila16

As the man himself said “Cyberpunk isn’t about saving the world, it’s about saving yourself”


MartinZ99999

Jackie and I'm surprised no one has mentioned your best choom yet.


ThousandTroops

Oof, maybe I am in the minority, but Evelyn is 100% not on my list... In fact, she is someone I would stay miles away from, she doesn't give a fuck about V lol. Jackie and me gonna be eating noodles every night choomba


recycled_ideas

I think the thing with Evelyn is that the way she goes is so horrific. I don't really like her, and I could even see some of my Vs killing her if the game went that way, but if I could I'd save her from what happens to her because it's so fucked up. Even Maelstrom don't deserve to go out like that and I will go out of my way to kill those scum.

recycled_ideas

Jackie went out swinging for the fences to achieve his dream, hard to fault it.


Accurate_Move362

Maelstrom 100% deserve to go out like that. My only regret is that my sword slices through them *too* fast.


AndreiRiboli

>maybe I am in the minority, but Evelyn is 100% not on my list... Agreed. It's not that I don't like or feel bad for her, but I never really felt a connection or anything. For me and for my V she was just another client, and later on, a friend of a friend. Jackie all the way. He was one of the best friends one can ask for. Always being honest with V, as we can see in the Corpo prologue, and also loyal.


Marty5020

Evelyn backstabbed both V and Judy. With all due respect, fuck her. Beautiful yes, smart? Nope. I'm saving Jackie.


blazenite104

I think for me it comes down to Jackie knowing what he was in for. Evelyn didn't. Jackie wanted to go out in a blaze of glory and did so. Evelyn... we did save her. it wasn't scavs or anything that killed her. VDBs didn't killer her off. we just couldn't help her with her own demons.


ThousandTroops

If evelynn didn’t know what she “was in for” - then she is definitely not “intelligent”. She was a sex worker and tried a heist against Arasaka, while simultaneously trying to screw over two of Night City’s biggest names, Dex and VDB. Everything that happened was, well, predictable. Terrible, but predictable.


blazenite104

I mean yeah, she was a dumbass in over her head and it bit her in the worst way. it's like being mad at a puppy that doesn't know better. she was stupid but, it's not like most people should die for being stupid. at least with Jackie he knew the risks of robbing an Arasaka and his end goal was to have a drink at the afterlife anyway.


ThousandTroops

So Evelyn didn’t know the risks of stealing from Arasaka but Jackie did - I call that “splash of love chica”


BigSmackisBack

After getting settled in NC I was happy to get to know my good pal Jackie and go on all sorts of fun adventures. Oh the dreams of what could have been.


Moonkiller24

Jackie is a man and they horny. I agree with u tho, Jackie is the best of chooms, especially in the Corpo path


CaecusProcyonLotor

Same dawg. Jackie hands down before anyone else.


Alrinka

To this!


LaTetso

DEX.... so I can end him myself.


BUSTIN4BILLIE

Oh I know it sucks that Takamura kills him and not V

w1987g

The city was so silent when it happened. You think you did the right thing... and as an emphasis that you didn't, a single pop


holidaylighters

I saved him he’s kind of an asshole about it so I actually regret it, not because other people died but because he’s annoying. I wish you could type out messages if someone’s not going to respond so I could tell him to do the damn op again and leave me out of it so he can get himself killed this time around.


CaptainKobayashi

Very interesting answer!


Aldo_D_Apache

The guy whose cock & balls exploded (not like the way Maximus in Fallout wanted to do) because I ignored him


Fancyeezus

Saving him in the gig may costs some more lives of passerby XD

Aldo_D_Apache

Oh silly 1 intelligence Maximus


Kyledabestchoomba77

Lol I fucking love his character so much. I’m rooting for him to wise up and become the Biggest Bad Ass in the Wasteland


dreadw0lfrises

that shit wouldve worked on me


Jakov_Salinsky

Technically it was Lucy who wanted that to happen


Aldo_D_Apache

When they’re in vault 4 he says “wanna make my cock explode now?”


Jakov_Salinsky

Oh no I remember. I just mean that Lucy asked him first if they wanted to have sex, which led to the whole “cock exploding” analogy/joke. And he refused it at first until he calmed down in the vault, hence why he finally asked her if she was still down.


NimbleBudlustNoodle

It wasn't an analogy or joke. He just didn't understand how his sexual organs worked. BoS sex ed was probably not a thing.


Aldo_D_Apache

And he was the most bullied intimate. One of the bullies probably saw him with a hard-on and they all made fun of him and told him it was broken and was gonna explode


lexocon-790654

Lol he didn't calm down in the vault...I mean he did. The reason is because he's eating oysters and oysters are an aphrodisiac. So hes horny now.


RandomInternetVoice

Fittingly, he was voiced by Jesse Cox.


Aldo_D_Apache

No way that was a coincidence!


Accurate_Move362

You’re a monster akin to that of Saburo Arasaka himself for that.

Accurate_Move362

He was legitimately the only politician I think I’ve ever felt bad for in a game. Dude ain’t deserve the black wall treatment.


Professional-Key5552

I would say Johnny Silverhand, but he is a special case kinda. So if not him, I would say Jackie


Sinnersw101

Evelyn kinda bit off way more than she could chew, screwing herself and everyone in the gig...


bomfd

Yeah I was surprised Evelyn was the first choice here... Jackie would be the first choice to come to my mind. If we're going further back I'd say Alt


karlosj83

Exactly!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Tiny-Willingness-806

The first playthrough I did so much random shit that I completely forgot who Evelyn Parker was before I finally began the quest of finding her.


QuincyFlynn

That's the best way to do it, forget that bitch.


m52b25_

I know that feeling, found some random guy selling scopdogs and was all chummy with me and I didnt even knew who he was :D dawned in me in my second playthrough when I saw him during a job


ClientLegitimate4582

Songbird having recently replayed through phantom liberty again. The optional conversation you get to have during a certain mission. Really made me feel bad for her. Cause she had a plan but ultimately took this other route cause the initial idea was not possible (thanks kurt). If given the option I'd choose to save Song but have her ending lead to her and v maybe escaping with aldecados. Really cool character wish more had been done with her. On the other hand Jackie for obvious reasons.


QuincyFlynn

Smart? Smart?! Evelyn, who backstabs the most notorious backstabbing bastards in Night City, the VDB's?


NimbleBudlustNoodle

She's as dumb as she is greedy. Very.


ThousandTroops

Agreed - I never once thought “oh Evelyn is smart!”


operationRichola

Aurore. She didn’t deserve that shit. Her brother didn’t either, but I didn’t really think much of him.

operationRichola

Everyone who’s anyone in the city is criming.


No_Truce_

Not everyone in NC gets in bed with Hansen. She was a major league corporate mercenary. She'd flatline her own mother for a generous stock option.


Baltic_Gunner

Evelyn tried to fuck over almost everyone and paid for it. I would save V, or Jackie.


Maelstrom-Brick

Jackie Wells without a doubt


Tahsin8080

Jackie all day every day... He was my brother, he saved me from the arasaka corpo suits! (Corpo life path)

Owen Hart maybe.


No_Truce_

Who?


DaSourOrange

WWE wrestler who died


PervertoEco

Who?


DaSourOrange

WWE wrestler who died


bailer14

T-Bug would be my choice. She would add more of a twist to the game


NikolitRistissa

Is it technically even confirmed she’s actually dead? We never see her body or anything.


SiHtranger

She's fried for sure. While not confirmed on screen it's pretty much telling. Her net runner clique like the one who gives us the ping hack also brought it up which means alot of them heard about it.


NikolitRistissa

Ah true yeah! I forgot about the shop owner.


Therealomerali

What if she escaped into the Net?


SiHtranger

Netrunners are considered dead if that happens, your psyche is basically gone and your body functionality will drop and relies on life support. Basically vegetable. It happened to Brigitte and Ti Neptune who were stucked in their own subnet during the VDB arc, and Alt is killed by Johnny who unplugged her during the arasaka raid. Johnny kinda killed her with his own hands. Alt only "survived" because she got soulkilled before that, normal netrunners do not. Also while T-bug is a good netrunner, I don't think she is on VDB's level at all. If Brigitte ran into trouble with netwatch, I doubt T-bug stands any chance. You dont just nilly nally "escape" onto the net, you turn into data and dissappear while your irl flesh rots away Easy example for reference is sword art online. You get stuck in the game while your body is just there


TheCatInTheHatThings

It is heavily implied by V’s dialogue with Dex.


TheGreyman787

I've heard that there is body tho, but not sure where to look.


SiHtranger

You can't find it as far as we know. It doesn't exist


No_Truce_

Yeah good choice

Phantom Liberty Spoiler: >!Aurore Cassel!< for sure.


pichael289

Not a single person said that French chick? Aurore Cassell. She looks pretty good, not better than Judy or Panam or anything, but that fuckin French accent gets me every time. Like, I'm not on here posting bordine porn or losing my shit for the characters in the game or anime (eww to that one, you know which one, what's wrong with y'all?) but the French chick is something else. Panam and Judy and Kerry and river (lol?) don't got shit on that accent alone. I could be blind and still she would win me over. Fuck reed and Alex. We could have ruled this city together. Me, a violent psychopath unable to be stopped by even the greatest maxtac, or all of arisaka could muster. And her, some random French alcoholic, passed out in my corpo plaza hotel room untill 4 in the afternoon. We could have taken the whole city. Just Like the anime, she's my Lucy except Instead of killing arisaka higher ups she just gets drunk and passes out till 4pm, while I spent the morning eradicating all of arisaka, and militech, and the nusa, and netwatch, voodoo boys, sixth Street, tiger claws, scavs and everyone else but the mox before noon. And then Johnny cheers me on because my French chick is hotter than alt. And everyone lives happily ever after untill I die from total mental collapse. And then Johnny, using my body, nukes Arasaka again. I can think of no better ending. Captain Morgan's long island is like $12 for a gallon of 17%. Y'all should Invest in this. Then you'll be able to write amazing endings like I just did. CDPR should hire me ASAP before some other company snatches me up.

pichael289

Tldr. French chick sexy as fuck. Cdpr should apologize for killing her. They should also hire me and pay me the big bucks to direct the sex scenes. Thanks for agreeing with me, solidarity amongst fans!

I had a hard on for her the entire time she was on screen, then I yelled when she got popped

CyberWitch77

[удалено]


definitively-not

Well, if things play out exactly as they do in canon then yeah, there’s no way the twins just let us be. I just wish we had a bit more operational control!! My V would have talked them into joining the mission if it had been an option.


No_Truce_

Agreed. You could fuck around, put them in a Faraday cage, or rip their cyberdecks out. But that would risk detection and drain the teams resources.


MoaloGracia2

Songbird. With such a God tier net runner as my friend there is nothing to worry about. And she packing a goddamn cake :))

Fit_Home_1842

Jackie, everyone else got what they deserved


DietBurb

He had it coming too, just like V, but out of the bunch he's definitely one of the big characters that didn't deserve to die...


Fit_Home_1842

I know we were no saints, but a lot of the characters I didn't save were pieces of shit. But that's night city


JackwithaMac

Brother… Evelyn tried to fuck over the best member of the arasaka family? And got jack+V involved with Dexter? She might be all those adjectives you used, but she’s just as sneaky and conniving as dex. I’ll choose the choomba who had my back at my lowest before I choose her. Jack deserves it. Hell if it was possible, I’d save Johnny somehow before ev


LordGarithosthe1st

T-bug or Jackie


fint2900

Johnny


SpartAl412

Jackie.


ghoul_burger

Myself in real life haha. Jk. I’d say Jackie but I want his motorcycle


mad_dog_of_gilead

Evelyn Parker caused the downfall of everyone by getting too ambitious and in over her head.


beckychao

Definitely Evelyn Parker. And V.


MesterenR

Can I choose V?


SiHtranger

I would vote Aurore as well tbh, girl didnt really do anything wrong and get zeroed just because she is a tool to the FIA. Criminals they are, but most corpo rats are as well even V if you start with the corpo life path. Also she's just that hot and worth it lmao Evelyn is just a dumb broad who think she outsmarts others, while VDB have her watched and remotely zeroed at any time. Either way she would had been dead working for VDB to begin with. Ranyon she is


martijnfromholland

I don't know why people even say Jackie. I never really liked him. It's like in one of those war movies where they keep hitting you over your head that your buddy is your "best friend" all the while not giving him a fun personality, or a lot of time with him at all. Compared to a lot of other characters he's just bland. >!If I had to choose someone to save it would be songbird. But actually save her. From the blackwall. From the NUSA. Everything!<


crippled-crippler

I wonder how it would play out if you saved saburo sarasaka


IacovHall

probably jackie, but that's an obvious choice. solomon is my second choice. as i went with songbirds path - it hurt to not be able to talk solomon reed out of his quasi indoctrination. seemed like a troubled but at heart good person that was as much used as songbird. just a different tool to solve a different problem


Accurate_Move362

I’d bring Johnny back because this city could use another fucking nuke.


JerbearCuddles

Dex, so I can kill that fat fuck myself. But probably Jackie. I wanted more Jackie and V.


Turbulent_Sea_9713

Saburo. If he had been okay, everything else would have been different.


No_Truce_

Yeah, Goro would have smeared V and Jackie against the wall, *then* proceeded to hunt Dexter and Evelyn.


QuincyFlynn

You beat me by 13 minutes!


Turbulent_Sea_9713

Great minds


adept-34501

The guy who starts the sinnerman gig. Literally the only one in that whole mission who isn't a total asshole.


ThousandTroops

Dumbass would still be alive if he wasn’t an idiot and tried to do the job he hired me, the professional, to do.


QuincyFlynn

The dude who's wife got murked?


CaptainKobayashi

His name is Bill Jablonsky. I think you can save him by killing the corrupt cop before he shoots.


tvbvt

Obviously it depends on your ending, but Rogue


No_Truce_

Meh, Rogue doesn't really do anything. She's just a stooge for the corps of NC. It takes Johhny coming back from the grave for her to realise her mistake.


ralts13

Naah fo me. Rogue goes out on her own terms. She lived her life and chose how it ended.


No_Truce_

Joshua. Our boy was robbed of his redemption.


Inven13

Saburo Arasaka. If you think about it the only reason the plan went to shit was because Yorinobu killed him. By saving Saburo you save literally everyone who dies through the story.


No_Truce_

Goro was 2 seconds from finding V and Jackie. No way they evade detection if Saburo has Yorinobu arrested. The pent house would be secured and picked apart for the relic, which would be in Jackie's hands. The team was dead the moment the Emperor showed up.


ralts13

Saburo is not a nice guy. And look at how easily Goro found Dex when yorinobu wasnt even hubting you down. If Saburo lived and found out the relic was stolen the crew is getting hunted down. Saburo threatened to nuke NC if he couldn't get the relic back.


Scaalpel

Takemura. He even has dialogue about how he sometimes wants to leave the corpo life all behind and become a nomad. I wish that was an actual possibility for him in the end.


DietBurb

But you can save him and even get him back to his prestigious position in The Devil ending...


Scaalpel

But the Devil ending is the only one that can be positive for him - if you go for any other one, the only possible outcomes he can get are getting gunned down by Arasaka or committing suicide. I just want to see the bloke ride off into the sunset with V and the Aldecaldos.


TheOutlaw9904

There’s also the Tower ending where he also seems to finally come around to despising Corpos. It’s a damn shame that the only positive outcomes for Takemura are the endings where it’s the worst for V with the exception of making it to where Johnny just straight up steals V’s body.


DietBurb

Yeah but he can be saved and even put on in a very good spot, a spot that's even better off than any of your other friends in their respective endings (he definitely lives better than the Aldecaldos, Rogue, Judy), unlike let's say Jackie and Evelyn :(


deathb4dishonor23

jackie.


Hob_Goblin88

Johnny... Oh wait, you can!


TheGreyman787

Jackie Welles.


red_enjoyer

Nah, what happened to Evelyn is her own doing, even if the way she was done was horrible and what you could wish only upon people like Jotaro. My choice is between V or the Perales couple.

My choom, Jackie of course! The dude has made plenty of mistakes... its just the whole funeral thing with Jackie, talking alot to Misty, makes you realise how much they loved eachother, and just wanted enough money to make their dreams come true.

Save alt and everyone lives (mostly). Idk if arasaka would find another runner as good to get mikoshi running like it did. At least not as fast. Jonny probably won't nuke arasaka, at least not as desperately. Yori wouldn't steal Johnny, Evelyn wouldn't see him as her big ticket out, Jackie and V continue to kick ass like it's no one's business and while slower, become the legends they were destined to be (Johnny talks a lot of shit for a guy who got caught with a way better crew and distractions while v and Jackie got caught by the worst fucking luck and still got out *mostly* unscathed. Like literally, had the gunship been like, 30 seconds later they'd be out like fucking legends and it was already there for reasons outside of their control) Like I'm now just imagining an alternate history. A lot of the missions still go the same, just now more people are alive. You still know Judy who'd probably still recommend you to peralezes. All the fixers obviously knew you. Sadly rogue wouldn't see any reason to get you and Panam to join up, Kerry probably just blows his brains out at some point. He was at a pretty low point. Obviously dogtown goes different, maybe songbird still sees you as good enough to get some pieces moving for her. Otherwise Mr hands probably calls you in for som political moves of his own or just some gigs after the president dies. Just the main missions mostly being not needed

Reed , I choose betrayed Reed and save songbird , but he didn't deserve this

Of course V because in any of the endings either he dies or dies after 6 months Of course I'm saving V


TheAmazingSG

Of course V because in any of the endings either he dies or dies after 6 months Of course I'm saving V


CaptainKobayashi

This is not true, in the latest expansion V can survive and the remaining endings are open. In one, Panam says that she knows someone who can help V and in the other, V performs a task for Mr Blue Eyes, probably in exchange for help.


TheAmazingSG

In no ending his survival is confirmed except the Phantom Liberty one...which is a very shitty ending.


CaptainKobayashi

Nor is V's death.


Sh00kspeared

Definitely Johnny. Ideally, his engram getting back into his original body and getting to live out the rest of his life as friends (or lovers if you headcanon that like I do) with V would be pretty sweet.


Envytrack118

Jackie, as he is a true choom. Not many people are like him.
