After several delays due to the ongoing Coronavirus, one of the most hyped games of this year, Cyberpunk 2077 will be finally releasing on November 19. Now, prior to its release, developers CD Projekt Red has been carrying out some promotional yet informative video campaign about the game on YouTube. So, in a recent episode of the Cyberpunk 2077 series, “Night City Wire”, a developer of the game talked about the various “lifepaths” in the game which will give a start to your story and will drastically affect the narrative of it. So here’s all about Cyberpunk 2077’s “Lifepaths”.
Street Kid
So, if you choose “Street Kid”, your character will be a muscle out of the raw streets of the Night City. According to the gameplay video above, he will have a childhood in the city’s Heywood area where things got pretty rough at times. And most of your childhood, you were in the midst of various gangs and mafia and have been “running from badges” ever since.
Now, as a “Nomad”, your childhood will mostly be on the outskirts of Night City which they call the “Badlands”. We got a reference to this place earlier this year when the developers made a “Madmax-themed” car for the game. These vast deserts are ruled by the Nomad clans and have seen many wars and other bad things over the years.
So, as you start the game, your aim will be to make a new life in Night City after leaving your Nomad clan for some reason.
As a “Corpo”, neither you will in the low-life streets of Night City nor you’ll be in the dangerous “Badlands”. Rather, you will be a top-level corporate executive of a big company called the Arasaka Corporation. This will give you the opportunity to get the upper hand in some situations in the game when dealing with high-level business mafias and corporate executives.
And as Philip Weber, the game’s Quest Design Coordinator explained in a recent interview that to make Cyberpunk 2077 “a real RPG”, the developers have added specific “lifepath opportunities” for different “lifepaths”. As a result, each character will have different advantages or disadvantages during a mission depending on the “lifepath”.
