What is the best Cyberpunk 2077 lifepath? Well, that's all up to you.
Just as is pretty much everything else in Cyberpunk 2077 is heavily dependent on how you act and react, the very backstory of your character, V, depends on your choice.
In fact, one of the very first things that you'll have to choose in Cyberpunk 2077 is your lifepath and it will have a significant effect on your character. In particular, in how the opening sequence, the Prologue, plays out.
Below, we'll talk about what Cyberpunk 2077 lifepath options are available in the game, as well as how much they really affect gameplay.
What are the Different Cyberpunk 2077 Lifepaths?
Cyberpunk 2077 has three different lifepaths: Nomad, Corpo, and Street Kid.
Choosing a lifepath in Cyberpunk 2077 will affect the backstory of your character, V, as well as affect certain things in the game. Albeit it won't be to the extent where something/some content is exclusive only to players who choose a particular lifepath.
In summary, these are the main differences between the three life paths: The story of the Prologue as each lifepath starts you off in a different location in Night City, as well as introduces you to a different set of characters from the start of the game. Although you'll get to meet Jackie Welles in the Prologue of Cyberpunk 2077 regardless of your lifepath choice, how (and how well) you know him will differ depending on your lifepath of choice. As already mentioned, certain options will be available only to players of a particular lifepath in different situations throughout the game. Even if it isn't as severe as to drastically affect outcomes of Side Jobs and Main Jobs, how other in-game characters react and interact with V will depend on your lifepath. For example, you'll be able to talk freely with other corporate employees if you started with a Corpo lifepath. At the same time, a Nomad lifepath will make other nomads more receptive to V. Certain Side Jobs are available only to specific lifepaths. However, it's important to keep in mind that these Side Jobs won't have any bearing on the ending of the game. Just to be clear, your Cyberpunk 2077 lifepath of choice won't influence the romance options available for V. Instead, what will affect your romance options in Cyberpunk 2077 is your choice of body type, genitalia, and voice tone.
