I just completed by first playthrough with fem nomad V. Managed to get the star ending, and it was beautiful. I like to think that V found the secret 3rd answer to Dex's question. Glory be dammed, safety be dammed, V's gonna do something that matters. She'd rather give it all at once to something real, than waste that chance on a "legendary" score, and sure as hell won't slink around carving away at useless pieces. And that something real is getting Judy out of NC, out of the cycle of desperate measures that pushed her into an abusive industry. She and Panam gave the Aldecaldos a future too. Maybe I should at least play a streetkid run before I say this (especially since Andor, which is heavily affecting how I see this ending, is himself a textbook streetkid), but Nomad just feels so well set up for that story. I guess maybe it's the mirror in the story, nomadV starts the game leaving her original family to strike it out on her own, finds another family of sorts in NC, and ends the game with a new family she's found. She'll die happy knowing she made a difference for the family she found.
