History Cyberpunk2077 / TropesAToB

** [[WhipSword The Monowire]]: a razor-sharp filament that extends from V's wrist. Like the mantis blades, it can be used to slice enemies to pieces, but it has a longer reach and its damage is tied to stealth ability rather than to the blades skill.

** Creator/CheramiLeigh has experience playing characters who are [[VideoGame/NierAutomata cold and bitter,]] [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} have cybernetic limbs,]] and [[Manga/SoulEater have rather foul mouths.]]

** Who better than to play a [[Franchise/TheMatrix rebellious,]] [[Franchise/JohnWick vengeful mercenary]] named [[Film/JohnnyMnemonic Johnny]] than Creator/KeanuReeves?

** Depending on player's choices, other casualities are [[spoiler:Takemura, who might get saved in "Search and Destroy", [[GuideDangIt but it's so unclearly telegraphed that many players missed it, especially the ones who tried to save Jackie]], River gets killed if he rushes the SerialKiller's lair by himself, Hanako will die in "The Sun" and "The Star" endings, where Alt brings the Arasaka space station down, Yorinobu's bodyjacked and effectively murdered in "The Devil" ending, Rogue will die in "The Sun" ending and Saul will die in "The Star" ending. Meredith Stout will die if you don't follow her orders on the Flathead retrieval, and there are countless other minor [=NPCs=] who might die depending on players' choices.]]

* BedlamHouse: a cleaner version canb e found in the side gig appropriately named "Cuckoo Nest". An NCPD officer is forcibly sent there after overhearing something she shouldn't have, and instead of keeping her mouth shut decided to talk to her supervisor about it. Features charming things such as lobotomies, high power electroshock therapy, using pregnant patients as experiments against their will, and forced impregnation to create more viable subjects for afore mentioned experiments.

** In the ''Phantom Liberty'' storyline, [[spoiler:either Songbird, Reed or Alex]] can die, depending on which of the four ending paths you pick. [[spoiler:The King of Swords ending is the only one where they all live, but Songbird implied to suffer a FateWorseThanDeath in the aftermath.]]

** Weirdly zigzagged outside the main story. Most sidequests, even intricate questlines like the ones offered by the various [[LoveInterest Love Interests]], allow V to decline the task on offer. But then there are seemingly random quests that can only be accepted, with no reason given why the player has no say in the matter.

** [[spoiler:In the "Tower" ending, V can message their LoveInterest and Vik about leaving with the NUSA, but thanks to Reed's estimate of the surgery timeline being way off, they'll still be frustrated and heartbroken by V's unexpected two year absence, causing them to become varying levels of distant no matter what.]]

** [[spoiler:Act 2 of the game starts with V reeling from their terminal diagnosis and horrified at how little time they have left to live until Misty calms them down and offers some advice and perspective on how they can adapt to their situation moving forward. "The Tower" ending, included with ''Phantom Liberty'', has V reeling from the realization that though the NUSA cured them, it cost them two years of their life and the ability to wield combat implants, ensuring their life [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore will never be the same again]]. Once again, Misty meets with them and calms them down, and offers some advice and perspective on how they can adapt to their situation moving forward. But while in Act 2, V was struggling with the realization of their imminent death, in "The Tower" ending, V is struggling with what to do with their life now that everything's changed.]]
