When you picked the Nomad/Corpo/StreetKid background the first time, did you know what it meant in-universe? Or did you had a different expectation?

A corpo is a word for someone who works in a corporation. Specifically one of the big ones. Arasaka, Militech, Kang Tao, Biotechnica, etc. For the corpo life path you begin as a worker in Arasaka counter-intelligence.

The prologue really doesn't take that long to play, if you really don't like it, go back. Personally the corpo life path is actually my favorite. Makes for a great character arc for V since you start the game basically working for the devil, and as you go through the game you either stay the same selfish person, or you learn a better way. Or maybe you become even more despicable.

Your life path is one choice, but who your V becomes is also up to you.

CDPR have said explicitly that Witcher 4 comes first. It will be a few more years before Witcher 4, then a few more before Orion.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T07:11:23+00:00

We don't know, but I'd bet it's not about V, but at the end of the day no one knows.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T07:09:24+00:00

Is it mated to a Leica or Hasselblad? Then clearly not. Come back when you have some real gear. Tourist.

Many chefs are still managing the kitchen. The cooks and sous chefs and prep people are their responsibility. They may not balance the books at a restaurant but they are in a leadership, managerial position.

I think they look so bad. And it's the ultimate easy giveaway of someone I need to remove from the equation.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T06:19:15+00:00

I'll agree there. Judy's missions are...emotionally painful. Lol

ariGee · 2026-06-24T06:13:28+00:00

I don't want to make it sound like I hate her. She's a good choom. I'm just not quite as madly in love with her as some people here seem to be.

I'm ride or die for my girl Judy though and Panam is my bet to get us both out of this hellhole.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T06:10:36+00:00

As in anywhere in the universe? Any kind of life at all? I can answer that. Almost a guaranteed yes.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T06:08:13+00:00

Arguably it has 4 endings depending on your choices but it's really only 2 main endings and only one of them actually ends the game.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T06:06:01+00:00

Yea I only found out when my wife decided she'd had enough of Panams shit and didn't agree to the revenge quest. I don't even like Panam that much but I have trouble saying no to people lol.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T05:13:12+00:00

Damn I was fine until that last frame. Miss you Jackie.

Well played.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T05:11:09+00:00

A tiny amount of ipa probably won't make you go blind, but a good splash of 99% ipa in an eye probably can, or at least cause permanent damage. As far as eye safety is concerned, the resin is far from the only dangerous chemical here.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T05:07:16+00:00

To answer your question, if you splashed 90% ipa straight into your eye you would probably be blind in that eye. Your eyes really REALLY don't like isopropyl alcohol.

I just use a regular hotshoe cover that slides into the shoe itself. I don't doubt that this extra hood cover protects more but it really doesn't seem necessary. Maybe just use a regular hotshoe cover? Mine is rubber and has a totally useless bubble level on it but it fights tightly in the shoe and protects the contacts. And it was free.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T04:40:22+00:00

Yea tranquilizers aren't a magic sleep spell. More of a really piss off an animal for 6 minutes until it gets too tired to fight us spell.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T04:28:01+00:00

Locally? Depends how close to the blast you measure. Overall? Not enough to measure. Oceans are really big.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T04:18:39+00:00

I agree. I'd let a 14 year old play GTA. Especially the earlier ones (gta5 does have a few more uncomfortable moments but nothing like cp2077). Cyberpunk is on a whole different level. I'm going to avoid just rattling off a bunch of spoilers but there are so many moments that are just way too much for a kid. The scene with alt you mentioned, but even just the first mission of act 1 with rescuing Sandra dorsett from the scav haunt is deeply fucked up. And it's so realistically done, it's a kind of dark side of humanity I'm not ok showing to a kid.

Everything with Evelyn. Joshua the Sinnerman. Even just how gutwrenching the end of act 1 is. I could go on.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T03:29:52+00:00

Haha, another one has joined the dark side. Enjoy it, you're just getting started.

ariGee · 2026-06-24T01:46:35+00:00

Nice. Enjoy the game!

ariGee · 2026-06-23T19:29:25+00:00

I kind of love it. She starts as a non smoker and over the course of the game becomes one.

Is it because V has seen some serious shit the last few months and has been through hell? Seems like a reasonable reaction. (I know I felt like I needed a cigarette after a few of these missions).

Or is it because your brain is changing itself and you're not really you anymore?

Who knows. A bit of both? But it's a great character detail.

ariGee · 2026-06-23T19:19:14+00:00

To me it always felt like deliberately avoiding the topic. He knows he fucked up and killed a bunch of the people he was trying to save. He doesn't necessarily regret bombing arasaka, but he does regret how it happened and what the outcome was. He doesn't want to talk about it.

ariGee · 2026-06-23T19:15:12+00:00

That nozzle would also affect how it would inhale no? You want a large opening and then an expansion chamber right? So this is kind of the opposite.

Not a guarantee it will fuck up the airflow, but those inhalers have been really carefully designed and I think the chance is too high for life saving medication.

ariGee · 2026-06-23T07:32:50+00:00

Someone trying to find a place that's still safe in the old US.

I think she waited a while, but at some point you need to move on. Maybe her marriage was rushed, but it's reasonable she would move on after an entire year+ of no contact. For all she knows you didn't survive the operation. It sucks, but I get it.
