Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire: 6 Things You Might Have Missed

Not very often in video games can the player have the freedom to choose their character's origin story.

Some games such as Darks Souls or Dragon Age have included an origin mechanic in one form or another to affect base stats and some dialogue. Other games like Skyrim do allow the player to choose between races but the impact is never truly felt aside from a few racist comments from Nords.

In Cyberpunk 2077, your origin will drastically alter your experience with the game and prompts the player to explore multiple playthroughs.

Choosing between Corpo, Nomad, or Street Kid will determine where the player starts their story and has a large effect on how V communicated with certain factions.

For example, while the Corpo and Street Kid start inside of Night City, the Nomad is a drifter that roams the outskirts until someone approaches them with the task of delivering a top-secret item into the city.

A small easter egg found in the Street Kid intro sequence seems to have Witcher villain Gaunter O'Dimm arresting the player and Jackie.
