I tried making a Cyberpunk morality alignment chart. How’d I do?

    Myers is lawful evil, Hansen is neutral evil. Maiko is chaotic evil.

    I wouldn’t put Alex as neutral good. Secret agents are not a very nice people.

  3. FlowingThot

    You fucking cannot put a CIA agent as neutral good.

  4. No_Tamanegi

    Maiko isn’t evil. She’s an asshole, but she’s not evil. She mostly wants to do good, she just wants to do it her way.

  5. Traditional-Ad3518

    Johnny belongs another raging terrorist asshole but otherwise not bad

  6. Gear-Noir

    Nobody is neutral in Night City and few people are “good” in the traditional sense.

  7. No-Technology-9580

    Hands lawful neutral? My man he is a fixer and one who wants to seize control over Dogtown and then the rest of NC on top of it

  8. Disposable_Minion47

    Lawful Evil? Maybe Hanako or Myers

  9. StalinkaEnjoyer

    D&D alignment doesn’t apply to Cyberpunk, never has, never will.

  10. Royal_Nails

    I’d put reed instead of Panam for chaotic good.

  11. ManOfSpoons

    None of these people are good or lawful, that’s a big point of the game

  12. peppermintvalet

    I like Johnny a lot but if his retelling of events is accurate he killed at least 12k mostly innocent people and turned night city into a radioactive zone… that’s not neutral

  13. AdventurousHearing89

    Lawful good or neutral good belong to our boy Jackie

  14. Neverwherehere

    I’m not sure if anyone could be considered Lawful Good in this setting; Neutral Good is probably the best anyone could hope for.

    Speaking of, I can see Vik and Jackie being Neutral Good.

  15. oldladyhater

    maybe, for an extremely heavily weighted definition of the words “good” and “evil” all the people pictured here are career criminals, thieves, murderers, and psychopaths, including panam, but except for maybe peralez, who on any other alignment chart would be lawful evil.

  16. OracularOrifice

    Saburo Arasaka should get that lawful evil spot. He’s the epitome of it.

  17. Hands and Alex are just flat out wrong lol

    Ones a mob boss and the other is a secret agent who executed people

  18. Melmacian_Santa

    This doesn’t really work with the narrative of the genre IMO.

  19. Ace_Up_Your_Sleeves

    I feel like depending on the player, V can be neutral good or lawful neutral,

  20. One of the major themes of Cyberpunk is that there are no good guys. You are either morally grey or morally black. For example, Raffen Shiv are morally black, the Aldecaldos are morally grey (they raid corpo convoys but that is still killing lots of people).

  21. Emotional_Relative15

    wouldnt put johnny as anything other than evil. His motives may be good, but he’s a cyberpsycho willing to use whatever methods necessary to achieve them. He’s honestly chaotic or neutral evil, anything that doesnt fit in with his worldview gets wiped from the map if its in his way.

    I mean dont get me wrong, throughout 2077 i came to like the guy, but i never let the charm distract me from who he was, and he’s not a good guy at all.

  22. sandchigger

    Literally nobody you meet in the game is good.

  23. W4steofSpace

    The only ones that are right are Panam and smasher.

    Alex is evil, maybe lawful but definitely evil, she’s a fucking CIA agent.

    Mr Hands is lawful evil, he desires to control all of Dogtown and NC and clearly everything he does is to that end. He even says as much. He does however operate within the “fixer’s code”.

    Johnny is chaotic evil, he only starts maybe being chaotic neutral when he fuses with V *and* if you have a good relationship with him at the game’s end.

    Vik should be neutral good.

    Mr. Blue eyes is either Lawful Evil or Chaotic Neutral, he’s most likely a rogue AI puppeteering a body. He also is literally reprogramming people’s brains as seen with the Peralezes. Now, the theory is that Night Corp, which he is either working with or is in charge of, is an anti corp corp, but by no stretch of the word are they good.

    V is chaotic neutral not true neutral. They simply do whatever they want, evil or good, depending on if they feel like it or if they’re getting paid.

    Maiko is lawful evil, she operates within the corrupt system and abides by it rules to get what she wants.

    Hansen is neutral evil, maybe chaotic evil, but his whole thing is about operating outside pre established systems.

  24. MegaPantera

    Jefferson literally asks you to be his security guard so he can raise taxes (if you don’t tell him about what’s actually going on at least) so while he’s definitely lawful, I’d struggle to say he is good (though if not for what was going on behind the scenes I’m sure he would be).

    Lawful good would be Vik or Misty

    Both Vik and Misty are traditionally good characters that have their own code they live by. Vik just wants to lay low and spend his time watching beatdowns and Misty lives by whatever lifestyle she espouses in the esoterica.

    ​

    Neutral good would be Judy

    Judy is a virtu editor by day and night club revolutionary by night. She initially starts off being all level headed and asking Evelyn not to go with the heist as she foresees doom but the moment she goes missing and gets a hint that she might be at Fingers, she starts showing very antagonistic behavior. Also is the fact that if you leave Woodman alive during your time at Clouds, she joins you in his assassination later after meeting with Maeda, even though it goes against whatever she said to Evelyn about staying safe.

    ​

    Chaotic good would be Jackie

    Jackie is a bit a wild card. He has a good heart but while he does have principles he lives by, they are guidelines at best in a lot of cases. During the Nomad and Streetkid intros, Jackie is doing something illegal and during the meetup with Maelstrom, he is quick to anger and start a fight even though both he and V know that the Flathead is crucial for the mission.

  26. I don’t know about Alex but otherwise it seems good

  27. HavenTheCat

    It needs some changes but it’s a good start. Vik as neutral good would be better imo

  28. MaskedMan8

    I don’t agree with Smasher. He can’t be considered chaotic if he’s on a leash. He only does what he needs to when he’s ordered to.

  29. teh_201d

    I mean I can see how you chose each person… but all of them do murder.

  30. HisNameIsSTARK

    How is smasher chaotic? He works for Arasaka and thereby supports its corporate order

  31. No_Truce_

    Alignment is trash, and doesn’t belong in Cyberpunk.

    All the villains you listed belong in “chaotic evil” none of them demonstrate a code of ethics.

    Ultimately survival and exploitation define the dystopia of 2077.

  32. EllieNekoGirl

    Panam isn’t good. More neutral. She takes jobs like V and steals from her own clan.

  33. awildmoosey

    Hansen certainly isn’t lawful considering he’s in a standoff with the NUSA

  34. Sean_Gause

    johnny silverhand, a terrorist involved in the killing of thousands of people: chaotic neutral.
