Thats not what I got from it. If you recall one of Dex's questions "Legend or Peaceful life" this is a peaceful life option, exit from toxic environment (NC) let people show true colors (Vick and Rogue were true chooms while Panam and Judy just jumped the ship after two years) and become "Mr Nobody". Given V was excomunicated by his clan (as a nomad) and looked for a place to belong, he wanted to be the Legend only because of Jackie and we all know how it played out. So for me it was a valid peaceful happy ending. In same bucket as secret ending of main game when you become a legend just the other coin of Dex's original question "what do you want to become".

Stays true to Cyberpunk tradition: "There are no happy endings in Night City." Although, it gives us insight as to what happens to all of V's friends in the aftermath of the hero's "death". Those asking about Judy, River, ect... Judy moved on in Pittsburg and got married, River's dealing with problems he won't even share, Rogue is still in business as usual (no surprise), Panam pretty much severed ties with NC and V altogether, Hanako and her brother attempted a hostile takeover that didn't end well... Hanako's dead and her brother is currently on the run. And yeah, at least Johnny got his wish. But in hindsight, he forgot one of the universe's oldest laws: get rid of one opposing force, another will just take its place. "There's always more where they came from." EDIT: Also found out about Kerry; he's doing well for himself, touring Europe with his new gig, but he actually throws V a line. Although he says, "about 4 months tops" before then. So at least Kerry doesn't have a burn-bridges attitude about it.

The conversation with Johnny in the AV is vastly different if you took the time to increase his friendship level before doing this ending. Johnny asks V what life they would have had if they didn't meet, and that they were both happy fate steered them into the life where Johnny ended up in V's head. At the part where the doctor injected you with a calming medicine, Johnny looked like he was about to cry. He finally calls V by their real name (Vincent for male and Valerie for female) as the screen fades. This conversation tore me up so bad. The amount of development V and Johnny's relationship had gone through. Johnny realizing all of his personal flaws and mistakes, and trying to change his perspective in things by the end of the events of Phantom Liberty.

Hope to live a normal life, but little hope to change the order of this dying world. For my money, Don't Fear The Reaper is the best ending, not because of the blaze of glory, but because of Alt--lighting that place on fire with a direct line to a rogue superintelligence and letting her steal EVERYTHING. Alt is probably the strongest ally mankind has, being hostile to corporations and not completely detached from the human struggle like the other AIs beyond the blackwall. If this world is ever going to get better, it needs a force strong enough to upend the corps, and a rogue superintelligence is about the only thing I can think of capable of it. Strengthen Alt, leave Johnny your body to do the follow through, or live another day and try to help the blue eyes (who are also AIs) consolidate power, because humans are not making this place any better.

This is best ending in my opinion. Not necessarily the happiest but the best for V. V says a good farewell to johnny, providing you have a good relationship and both of you get closure in a way. His/her friends might be gone and V can no longer be a merc, but it's possible V could just become a fixer or worst case scenario work for the FIA, which doest seem like a bad gig providing they view V in high regard for saving the president. V still has viktor and can make new friends in night city. It's not the happiest immediately, and in the small span of time that we see it seems sad, but V has an entire future at the end of this ending. He/she can do whatever they want. Sure, in the short term it's sad to see friends and old dreams die, but life could be what V wants it to be, for the most part. In night city you can't have it all. In v's case, only one of them could live or both would die and Ultimately this ending gives the player a choice to live like a legend and burn out, or live a regular life and slowly fade away. It depends on what you want your V to value. Is it a life of glory and being remembered as a legend that matters to V, or is it a long life and the freedom to choose your future that matters? I chose to slowly fade away and for V to live a peaceful life.

who would have thought that there could be an even worse ending than the previous ones. The story of the game is comparable to having cancer. Deep down you know there is no cure, but chemo gives you some hope. In the game you are exploited by others who promise you help. Almost like a pharmaceutical company that wants to test a new cure on you. Unfortunately, that doesn't help anymore and you end up dead. With the DLC we now have the special feature that you actually get help and a cure. Except that after that you can't live your life anymore, you lose your job, you're basically a cripple and the majority of your friends hate you. Wtf?

Personally, I view this ending as the best worst case scenario. Yeah, you're not flatlined, but at what cost? Vik is a shadow of the man he used to be, Misty is up and out of NC, your chooms? Presumably gone, or worse. That one voice in your head? The voice of chaos and narcissism; but also the voice of reason which give you a new outlook of things. Gone, too. You get yet another chance to live, but the price you paid for it was too high, no? I'd say that this ending really all depends on who "V" is for you specifically. In your mind, your 'canon' V could want nothing more than to settle down after all they've been through and live a 'normal' life in Night City, as close as normal gets at least. Alternatively, for your V, this could be the worst case scenario. You can't fight no more, sticking it to the big corps is nothing more than an unobtainable pipe dream which was once nigh-impossible, now surely out the question. I wonder what people think about their V and how they would react to such a thing? A blessing? A second, hell, third chance? Or, is this just about the closest thing to Purgatory they could get? In a way, V could relate to Johnny a lot in this ending, stuck, wanting to do more, unable to have the means to do it. A construct in a city of data. One faceless person, in a crowd of many.

Im not one to care abt spoilers so checked this out since ima be busy this week. Idk. Id classify this as anothe rbad end, considering the themes of the game. My top two are still Dont Feat the Reaper and then leaving w the aldecaldos as a first. EDIT: After thinking it over, I like how this can be a good or bad ending depending on your POV and opinions on the Night City society and such. V's lifestyle and line of work ranges from morally grey to straight up fucked up depending on how you play it. If you're in the camp that subscribes to the "blaze of glory" ideal and staying true to a more rebellious, anti-establishment standpoint (which is the spirit of the cyberpunk genre IMO) this ending can be seen as quite bad; V pussied out. If youre of the belief the only way one can escape the clutches of the fucked up world of cyberpunk is to be distant from the vicious, violent cycle, then this is a very hopeful ending for V. They have a fresh start, to live the quiet life. Regardless of your stance, it's nonetheless bittersweet considering the connections lost and the sacrifice of Johnny that you had to make to get there.

I just went through this ending, it is a real fucking bummer. Judy leaving you, that's rough buddy. But damn, this ending, well it's life. Viktor was that one friend, that one friend who didn't let us down. The one friend we needed. You're damn sure i'm gonna be there when that friend needs me. And Misty is right, she was at her bottom during the most of the game, she's just now getting her head above the water. Same'll happen to V, she'll live, she'll have a fuckin' wild story to tell, she'll become a legend with time. And she'll live a good life, meet new people, find new purpose, new drive. That's life. I hated the ending because it didn't leave V at the top, but I love it because that's what life is. If V wanted to go on top, then going out in a blaze of glory was the way to do it, but you can't tell the tale if you end it that way. Scaling the biggest moutain also means walking down, can't stay atop it forever, air is thin, suffocates. Rare are those who went out while on top, Johnny did, V isn't Johnny, the whole game is about their differences. V gets to fall, then carry on. Thanks CDProjekt.

You destroyed our dreams, you played with our dreams. We believed so much that this time it would happen that even though we were in a dilemma many times, we saw that we were deceived again and again because of our love of helping. You added sadness to our sadness. We saw a light on the horizon, as we moved towards the light, we realized that we were actually drifting further to the bottom, but there was no turning back now. We believed, we continued believing that our struggle would be rewarded, but we saw someone in our situation. We resigned ourselves to our situation to save him. We wondered if it could be any other way, and this time we went back and used the chance for ourselves with remorse. Even though the end was as we wanted, we saw that it was not at all what we expected. Everyone we helped in this world where we spent dozens of hours; We saw how he turned his back on us in the ending that ended in a way we wanted but never expected. We saw that we, who were the legend of the city when we were nothing, were unable to even throw a punch, were thrown to the ground and beaten pitifully by an ordinary vagabond. We watched with our mouths open. With this painful experience in the ending, which we call the end, we watched V, the legend of that city, walking on the NPC-like roads with his neck bent, thinking how all the good deeds, sacrifices and help he had done in his life were in vain, and we closed the game with a heavy heart. . With your stories, music and atmosphere, you have caused us to experience days that we will never be able to get over for a while, and especially with your music that makes us feel our sadness to the core.

Sure, in this ending you can live, but everything you worked for is basically thrown in the toilet and everyone you knew, left you in the rear view mirror. Expect Viktor and Misty. But even they lost that spark we grew to enjoy throughout the playthroughs. And we become nothing more than a random face with nothing to show for it.
