I shall never trade my 30 mins of corpo, suits and high heels, shitty psycho boss, followed by the Witcher game Easter egg. Wish we could stay more time as a corp to see more of their everyday miserable life

I’ve only played street kid and nomad, is corpo more fun? Serious question 👀
Emotional_Relative15
i guess im one of the few nomad enjoyers then lol. My fav ending is the Aldecaldo one, and i think male nomad V with Panam has the best overall self contained story with the aldecaldos. Just makes their entire questline fit more imo.
Somewhat_appropriate
I’ve noticed this too.
But hey, you play what you want, “popular” opinion isn’t necessarily “right”.
Yet to try Streetkid (might do a little foray), but after doing Nomad in 1st play through, and Corpo in my 2nd…
Corpo V is borderline obnoxious and certainly snotty (dialogue options) and goes around blackmailing/bluffing people, and the intro-story is subpar compared to Nomad. And man, the Rattler is great fun!
= Nomad is superior 😉

I am actually planning to play Nomad next play, because of best girl obviously..
I have done the rest already.

I just don’t like nomad. Ain’t my cup of tea of my V being apart of a clan

I’m not sure about this.
All my friends start as Nomad, almost all Youtuber I looked started the game as Nomad, and there are like a month, I asked here what the best lifepath to choose and more that 75% said they start and prefer Nomad.

All life paths are good but I would say Corpo fits better into V as a character!
Willooooow1
The no mad life path is my main one and favourite one!!

Nomad all the way!

I love nomad, free car and I get to talk shit to the guys being mean to Gary!
meria_64
I think the nomad is the best one
(Also another car weee)

I personally just did not vibe well with nomad (yet to try streetkid) but honestly I’ve seen a lot of nomad praise around and I love it that there are people that really liked it!

Corpo is too real when in real life my bosses just decide “oh yeah, you don’t work here anymore. No reason. Just go.”
Elitericky
I’ve always found Corpo to be the most fitting for this games plot line and setting, also ironic that Johnny gets stuck in the body of a former Arasaka employee.

Maybe because nomads don’t really mesh so well in the cyberpunk setting?
Like, streetkid and corpo are in a way polar opposites from each other narrative-wise. Nomad is just kinda there imo.
Grimizzi
I’ve done the corpo life path on initial release, committed suicide.
Currently doing Streetkid, have the cure but have yet to finish 100%
Looks like I’ll be a nomad on my next play-through. Any recommendations on which ending I should shoot for?

Doing corpo in my latest run to see life on the other side. My V is a streetkid at the end of the day. A shrimpy chick from Heywood who grows to shake the foundations of NC

Street kid is how the game was meant to be played, and what suits both versions of V best and makes the most sense within the story (at least in my opinion).
Corpo is amazing and easily has the best dialogue choices out of the three, and shows V in a different kind of light that is really cool to see after having previously played through the other life paths.
Nomad V, on the other hand, is just kinda ‘meh’ in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still great, especially if you choose to go with Panam and get the Altacaldos ending, but it feels kinda lackluster when compared to the other options.

I chose nomad my first go through because it made sense to me thematically. I was a stranger to night city as was Nomad V.
I played him with honor, with morals and humanity in a city that had none of that. And his journey ended as it began. As a nomad. But with a new family and new hope.
I hope he got what he was looking for on the road.

I will always have a soft spot for the Nomad life path. It was my very first playthrough back when the game launched. I figured as someone who had never played the TTRPG and knew nothing about Night City, narratively it would make the most sense to play as an outsider to NC that’s living there for the first time.
TranceRevolved
Having done 7 play throughs because I’m nuts, I’ve played both male and female V. I think Nomad is the best for male V and corpo for female V. I played Street Kid first because that just seemed like the default to try first. It didn’t wow me. I felt both nomad and corpo had better game starting back stories. I will say that corpo V becoming a merc and THEN doing a hit on Arasaka after their hit squad easily sought V out to kill them, it’s still beyond crazy why a Corpo V would go anywhere near Arasaka again. V owed Jackie big to help rob their former employer like that.

I had no idea this was the consensus! I actually thought the Nomad life path provided some unique story payoffs.
I liked the idea that V grew up as a Nomad, and then made the foolish decision of leaving for Night City fame. After the heist, V realizes that this had all been a huge mistake, but he’s stuck with a terminal condition. Despite his condition, he gets back in touch with his Nomad roots and longs for that kind of family again. And when you go for a certain “happy” ending, it kinda has a full circle payoff, with a tragic caveat. V made a series of bad decision and hit his lowest, but he didn’t let that stop him from finding himself, regardless of his condition.

This honestly surprises me! I am Nomad all the way and I assumed it would have been second at worst. Didn’t realize how many of you are corpo rats at heart…
Latch_Lifter
I don’t know why. It’s not even like V realizes the corps are evil and rebels, they get kicked out and probably would’ve stayed otherwise, being a corpo rat.

Male nomad is the goat cmon

Huh I always go nomad tbh

Nomad is my favorite
Luna_Tenebra
I mean they are all good… Corpo is just better
Seeking_Anubis
My first playthrough I chose Streetkid. My second time playing, I went with Corpo. I don’t think I will ever choose Nomad, it just never really interested me at the beginning of the game. I’ve seen someone on YouTube choose Nomad, I just don’t think it was very interesting.

I like the nomad path just so I can get all the cars in the game (even got a save where I betrayed panam to get the unique car from Saul)
