[Cyberpunk2077 Spoilers] V is always gonna be dead stop saying they won’t be.

I’ve seen this topic get thrown around more than anything in the Cyberpunk 2077 fandom and it annoys the fuck out of me everytime because no matter what ending you get, V is dead. Whether it be V as a merc/concept or V as n Valerie/Vincent. V is dead.

There is no “Canon” ending because no matter what V is gone. It doesn’t matter how they died or even if they died for real. They’re dead as far as all of Night City knows and that’s the point. Even in the ending where V gets better after their two year coma they’re still dead. V the Merc is gone, died saving the president and now Valerie/Vincent is finally starting to live.  “Oh but the arasaka ending!!” V no longer lives as a merc OR as an actual human being. V AND Valerie/Vincent is dead in this scenario even if they are physically still breathing.

The base game even sets us up to basically say “Hey, V is gunna die no matter what” with Dexter Deshawn’s entire “Going out in a blaze of glory” speech. As much as I would fucking love for my Glorious V Cyberpunk to still be alive and well we ALL know that isn’t happening. V is dead and people need to cope or shut the fuck up about. The half-baked theories are doing more hurt than help :p
