So I just bought the game, and I'm wondering which one I should choose? Does it change anything at all?

Corpo has by far the most dialogue and unique interactions, but I’d honestly pick Nomad for a first playthrough if you’re not familiar with the setting yet, it feels purpose-built for that perspective.
Canonically street kid V makes the most sense. Though it’s completely up to you. It doesn’t change too much but each one will give you some unique dialogue choices throughout the game. I will say that the Nomad intro is the more in-depth choice, and as a result, one of my favorites. Though if we’re being honest, it’s more for roleplaying purposes. Give them all a go, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most replayable games Ive had the pleasure of playing.
Edit: wording
Barely anything, the starting mission and one follow up mission each. Almost zero effect in the long run. Corpo is often considered the best fit to the story because you grew up knowing Jackie, it’s used in the most convos and you can get a unique gun. Nomad has a unique car. Street kid gets nothing but a jacket I think. So anything other than street kid basically, but I would say Corpo > Nomad > street kid
IMO just pick which fantasy you like the most. For me, street kid is the coolest so it’s the one I stick with.
Live path doesn’t matter much. Each of the various life paths offers some unique dialog options, plus one unique side mission that offers a new piece of gear.
Gender affects your romance options, and some people prefer one voice actor over the other. I think both VAs are great, and all four romance options are fine.
From my personal experience, female V seems to fit Corpo better, male fits Nomad better, and streetkid could go either way, with my preference being female but I’m a firm believer that female V is a more interesting character and Cherami was a far better voice actor than Gavin.
i played every lifepath and for me nomad v is the best part. even giving tips to jackie about his motorbike and he does what v said after.
1. Corpo – best dialogue choices (and best background with Jackie)
2. Nomad – get an exclusive car.
3. Street Kid – a gig to get a bootleg jacket.
For me I have two saves one a female street kid, and a male corpo, and honestly it just feels right that way, but ill always enjoy female V more, dialog just hits differently for me atleast
I just went in order with the options presented. My first run was Nomad, now I’m doing a Street Kid run, finishing with a third Corpo run.
I went with street kid and I do not regret it it makes the most sense to me as a future hustler
Done all of them.
Nomad Male is by far my favourite because it just fits very well, especially for a new player, just like nomad V you arrive at NC completely unfamiliar with the city, also its by far the coolest intro of all the lifepaths. A lot of its dialogue choices revolve around V reminiscing about his old nomad life. You also get a free car later on.
Street Kid regardless of gender is by far the weakest, its the one that makes the most sense but the intro sequence is ridiculously short and the dialogue choices all just boil down to V already knowing the street life and needing no explanation.
Corpo has to be female imo, corpo has by far the most lifepath related dialogue choices unfortunately the male voice actor doesnt really fit this one as he speaks way too casual for a corpo imo, meanwhile female nails it. Corpo dialogue choices are often threats or deep knowledge about the corporate side of NC, which is fitting as you interact with a lot of corpos.
At the end of the day, pick whatever you find most interesting. Every Lifepath has its own (very) short intro sequence and after that its just what flavour of special dialogue choices do you want to have. Only one that gives something more would be Nomad with the car.
Fem V corpo 🙏
Just played it once.. you get different dialogue options here and there… nomad gets a different car

It’s always gonna be Corpo for me
Imo streetkid V makes the most sense so thats what I went for 🙂 but I want to do Corpo next because it has more unique dialogue. But I think having a V who grew up in the culture feels right
Corpo Female,
nomad male,
Street kid either or
Corpo female is my favorite
Corpo makes a lot of sense and gives V insight into that world, as well as extra insentive to hate it. In my mind, it’s almost like an fucked up alternate to Stardew Valley, where you’re leaving your corporate shackles to live the freer life. Plus, as others have said, lots of extra dialogue.
But narratively, I like Nomad better. Starting outside the city and having to work your way there a bit is nice. Plus I like having no pre-existing ties to Jackie, shows how quickly he grows on someone and takes them in. Plus you get the fun action sequence!
Street Kid Male V
NOMAD V HAS BEEN FUN AS HELL TO ME 😁
for me its Nomad because the panaem ending if you play male V and the Judy joins the nomads if you play Fem-V, but those last few week i use the Fresh start mod for all my chars
Female Corpo
My favorite playthrough has been as female corpo V and I think it also has the best story payoff – buuuuut I’m also currently playing through as male street kid V and it’s really fun to start as the random kid off the streets and work your way up into the big leagues
Corpo has (I believe) significantly more unique dialogue and even at least one approach to a mission that isn’t possible for the others.
Also has the coolest prologue in my view.
Corpo is my go to. It just really feels right and so well rounded when you get to certain parts of the game.
Corpo.
Corpo for Male V and Street Kid for Female V. Nomad for both.
Choose Nomad male as your final play through, closest thing to ending on a good note if you go with Panam 😭
Being a male corpo since launch in every playtrough
