Cyberpunk 2077 Romance

With the revelation that we have seen all the main romance possibilities in Cyberpunk 2077, I thought it would be amusing to figure out the dating scene in Night City. So far, Braindance expert and Waifu, Judy Alvarez, alongside Militech Agent, Meredith Stout, have been confirmed.

When considering who V might romance it is worth taking into account how socially acceptable are age gap differences in the Night City, given that advancements in technology have significantly expanded human lifespans. For example, Rogue is probably in her 70’s or 80’s in 2077.

Would she necessarily be interested in a male V in his twenties? Obviously that possibility cannot be excluded due to the current lack of information. It’s known that you cannot permanently join a gang. As a mercenary while there are possibilities for co-operation, V’s interests do not coincide with the beliefs of the gangs.

In my opinion, that probably rules out becoming too intimate with prominent characters such as Placide. Another consideration is that the romance NPC would have to bring significant value to the narrative. This would allow for V to interact with the NPC over an extended period of time and allow the relationship to develop.

I am also under the impression that CDPR focus on quality not quantity, and this will most likely be reflected in the number of romance options available to V. For comparison, in Witcher 3, you effectively had 2 main romances, and 7 casual encounters.

Despite being the best EuroSolo in the business, I am somewhat stumped when it comes to prognosticating which male NPC’s will be of interest to Fem V. Initially one would think Johnny Silverhand would be a natural fit. Given Silverhand will be spending a lot of intimate time with V, it is conceivable that a beautiful relationship could blossom.

Silverhand previously dated Rogue, and there is also his ex-girlfriend, Alt Cunningham to consider. Unfortunately, it was reported that romancing Silverhand would not be possible. Jackie Welles seemed like another obvious choice; but he is in a relationship with Misty.

Could they potentially split up, or god forbid something might happen to Misty? Takemura? He is a mysterious Martial Arts Master and has trained elite Arasaka Ninjas. Despite how little is known about Takemura, aside from his importance to the plot, his somewhat cool demeanour reminds me of my favourite romance from Mass Effect 3, between Fem Shepard and Garrus Vakarian.

That leaves NetWatch agent, Bryce Mosley, Yorinobu Arasaka, Mr Goldhand and Mr Jenkins being possibilities. None of these characters exactly fill one’s heart with affection. Although as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the female Nomad, seems to be a safe bet, although details on her currently remain elusive.

There is also the attractive blonde who was dancing alongside Jackie. Her Beanie Hat somewhat reminds me of one of the Mox girls featured in concept artwork. Finally, the Wild Card on the Night City Dating scene is Adam Smasher. A Borg as a love interest? Not as absurd as you might think.
