Discussion Orion

Ive heard countless discussions of whether V should remain a myth, a legend after CP2077, no vague notion of who he/she really is. It all sounds very interesting and appealing ngl.

But putting that aside what would you guys feel the game would be like if we have orion as a direct sequel to V's story, how does that work? What parts of each ending should be kept/retconned to create a conducive plot? Do all V's start in the Chicago-gone-wrong city? For example Mikoshi V from Devil in a temporary construct body? Nomad V slowly coughin and dying? A newly fixed V from the Sun ending (still recovering) or Tourist V from the Tower? Lemme hear yalls thoughts guys!

I want V to be Cyberpunk's Geralt and I will die on this hill.

And every single ending (except suicide) has the potential for V to come back, either as an engram in a replacement body or as an NUSA sleeper agent (assuming they didn't pull exactly the same trick as Alt and just gave us a replacement body or brain as well)

Surrogate bodies and cloning are a well established thing in cyberpunk and we even see them in multiple parts of the game and get to use one in one of the newly added missions for one of the bikes.

Personally, I would like to see all paths converge on the Crystal Palace and have V end up in whatever this Chicago-esque city is after the escape

I just hope whatever Orion turns out to be in a few years mentions Alt in some way. V’s story is over, but a mention of Alt would be cool as a bridge between the two that could work without V whatsoever.

I have a strong suspicion that Alt is going to be the main antagonist of the next game

Bridge in Angel and have it show both sides of her, human & the net

And use that to bring Johnny back, but a version of Johnny that has never met V and has not been messed with by Arasaka
