If it wasn’t Johnny, who would you want the Relic’s engram to have been? (Based on how fun/cool they’d be as a disembodied buddy)

    Having a pondsmith director commentary for this game would be amazing

  2. APumpkinHobo

    Having Jackie as the engram would be a whole other level of tragedy. He’s technically still alive, but now you have to make the choice between your best choom and yourself

  3. KaiserSickle

    David so he can watch me burn Saka to the ground

  4. LasPlagasKiller

    Well that’s hard I love David and I love the creator of cyberpunk especially his fucking voice it’s gody but isnt Morgan black hand is suppose to be a version of Mike as far as role playing wise so having Morgan black hand is like having the creator of cyberpunk so Morgan for sure lmao

    Brendan would be adorable but I think he is too… “good” to see some of the things we must do. I would feel bad.

    David has enough edge to be similar to Johnny but he has less life experience, so the dynamic would be different. It could be interesting, and they even alluded to it in the anime.

    Adam Smasher. Or old man Araksaka. Having an evil killbot in my head that I’m fighting for control with or a cold calculating manipulative fossil. I imagine smasher having similar interactions like Dark Urge in BG3.

  7. ChristianThePerson

    Having Brendan talking to me throughout the game would drive me insane.

    It should become thing agents using relics to have Advisers

  9. I miss Jackie… I’d like to have him as a brain buddy. Positivity and support a beacon to light your way through night city. Never before have I been so attached to a prolog npc… his death hurt me irl.

    Isn’t Mr Hands Morgan Blackhand?

  11. Honestly I think it should have been Jackie. He’s in the game for too little

  12. Airbreathingoctopuss

    Jackie. He’s the Speedwagon to V’s Jonathan.

    Mike is the Morro rock radio host. I love listening to him talk about “conspiracies” which are actually him just telling the player wtf going on.

    I like Johnny. He’s just the right amount of rockerboy douche and sage advice giving choom. I wouldn’t pick anyone else.

    Night.

    Don’t much know Morgan Blackhand.

    Is David a legend? Legends are those who make a name for themselves and go with a big boom. But from the quests you can see that V, a fellow Merc, doesn’t know about Martinez and also it’s not known that and how he passed away, Falco even hides the truth.

    The very first time I played the game, I thought the Relic would be kind of a technical version of the heart from Dishonored with Jackie’s voice.

    After playing the game more I realized that I was completely wrong about where they were going with the chip. Also Jackie would hate the effects on V if he was on it.

  17. I was so sad when I realized how soon Jackie would be gone.

    Not David. Sorry but that boy was far too impulsive and ignorant, I’d be at his throat the entire game. Johnny is a snarky fucker, but at least he knows some shit.

  19. Zackneifein

    Why David is even an option ?

    I mean, base V is older, more knowlegable about near everything and more experienced than him, in every lifepath.

  20. DamonFort

    Mike Pondsmith would have been an incredible choice lol

    Morgan Blackhand makes the most sense to me, I have no real interest or attachment to any of the others

  21. How about different engrams for different life paths:

    Corpo V – Saburo Arasaka. Ending up taking over Arasaka

    Street Kid – Morgan Blackhand. Pretty much what we have now.

    Nomad V – Richard Night. Become mayor of Night City.

  22. Spookiiwookii

    Having Jackie in V’s head would be counterproductive as shit they wouldn’t get shit done 💀💀💀

  23. TheFirstAtom

    I’d love to have Jackie. Fuck, I miss my choom.

  24. TheRealestCapta1n

    Morgan Blackhand, definitely. His beef with Smasher is hilarious, with Smasher constantly challenging him and Blackhand straight up ignoring Smasher

  25. Derpman2099

    it would have been interesting if you had both Johnny and Jackie on the relic, and have them act as a sort of morality system for the game.

  26. Pentigrass

    It’s pretty obvious that the original game had something in the works for your “idols” – Johnny Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, and Saburo Arasaka. I think this was all swept aside when they got Keanu Reeves as Silverhand. As much as i love him as Silverhand, i think they shot themselves in the foot with it.

    I would’ve killed for a game where you could actually be an evil corpo guided by Saburo Arasaka, slowly earning his respect and working together.

  27. ODST_Vanity

    Having Blackhand stuck in your head would suck a little if you think about it. The man was known to take out people non-lethally, so imagine each time you killed someone he would comment with disgust

  28. TheLord-Commander

    Morgan would be odd seeing as he’s not dead. It would be fun spider man moment running across the real Morgan with fake Morgan in your head.

  29. Clever_Angel_PL

    Morgan Blackhand is like Johnny but actually a master of combat
