Okay, so, about this “cyberpunk johnny relationship” thing. I’ve been diving deep into Cyberpunk 2077 again, and man, that bond between V and Johnny Silverhand is just… something else. I wanted to really get it, you know? So I started a new playthrough, focusing entirely on how I interacted with Johnny.
First thing I did? Picked dialogue options that really engaged with him. Not just the obvious “rebel” stuff, but also the ones where V is genuinely curious about Johnny’s past, his motivations, even his regrets. I mean, the guy’s a terrorist rockerboy stuck in your head – there’s gotta be some interesting baggage there, right?
Then, I started paying close attention to the side quests involving Johnny’s old bandmates and connections. Like, the Kerry Eurodyne storyline? Goldmine. It’s not just about helping Kerry; it’s about seeing Johnny react, seeing him confront his past through V’s actions. I made V go along with most of Johnny’s suggestions, even the reckless ones, just to see where it would lead.
Some Noteworthy observations during my exploration:
- I also tried to choose the options that is related to “Sympathy” to Johnny during the conversation.
- During the side quests, try to follow Johnny’s will.
The big thing, though, was letting Johnny take control sometimes. Those moments where he “takes over” V’s body? Instead of fighting it, I just rolled with it. Saw the world through his eyes, heard his commentary, and even let him make some choices. It’s kinda scary at first, but it really gives you a sense of what it’s like to have this other personality wrestling for control.
And honestly? It changed my whole perspective on the story. It’s not just V’s journey anymore; it’s their journey. Two messed-up people, forced together by circumstance, learning to understand each other, maybe even respect each other. I still haven’t finished this playthrough, but I’m already feeling a way stronger connection to both characters than I ever did before.
It’s like, by actively trying to understand Johnny and his relationship with V, I unlocked a whole new layer of the game. It’s messy, it’s complicated, but it’s also really, really compelling. Definitely recommend trying it out if you’re a Cyberpunk fan.
