In Cyberpunk 2077 the role-playing component is decidedly marked. This is evident from the first moments of the game, in which we will be asked to customize V, our alter-ego. In particular, among the many options we will be allowed to customize the character’s Origin Story or, in other words, his narrative background .
Here is the guide to the Origin Story of Cyberpunk 2077 ; we wish you a good reading.
Premise
Before analyzing each single ” Lifepath ” it is good to point out that this choice will not affect either V’s progression system or its statistics. In other words, the narrative backgrounds will affect only the prologue and some small variations and nuances within the main and secondary missions . We also specify that Origin Stories do not work as classes, leaving the player full freedom to customize V.
Origin Story: Which to Choose?
Street Kid
Choosing this background, your adventure will begin in the Heywood district, downtown Night City. In this case, V comes from a childhood filled with gunfights and gang rivalry. In short, a street kid in all respects who has learned to get by on his own. As a Street Kid you can count on a greater knowledge of Night City and, in particular, of the gangs that divide cities and neighborhoods. This will allow you to travel through the most infamous areas of Night City without necessarily having to hold a gun.
Body
In Night City, only two things matter: money and power. Only by belonging to the guilds can you get these two attributes and hope to rule the city. By making these choices you will begin the adventure aboard a flying car from which you can fly over the skyscrapers of Night City. If the magnificent view alone justifies the choice, this background has much more to offer. During the campaign you can in fact exploit the knowledge of the corporations to better confront yourself with politicians and high-ranking personalities. Among other things, you can also use your origin to access rooms and buildings controlled by bodyguards or cameras.
Nomad
The Nomads come from the desert area that is located near Night City. Such characters have no knowledge of the slums of the city, nor much of the more highly placed ones. Everything will be new to you and you will not be able to rely on old acquaintances or friendships. However, you can count on a deeper crafting system and a greater knowledge of the Badlands, which you will have to return to throughout the game.
These therefore are the three narrative backgrounds present in Cyberpunk 2077. If you are wondering which of the three is the best, know that there is no single answer. It all depends on your style of play but, above all, on the type of character you want to play. Before concluding we remind you that on Uagna.it you will find the complete guide to the CD Projekt RED title .
