As a Nomad I often think back to what Jackie said about nomads in the cyberpunk lifepath trailer: that we love freedom. So Mi was trapped, and needed freeing. Even though she’d gotten herself there by her mistakes, even though she admitted to screwing me over to save her life, even though she could spark a full-on war… I needed to free her. When I strapped her into that rocket pod chair and the Nomad dialogue prompt “You’re free.” came up, I started crying. Everything I’d done had been worth it. Fuck the NUSA. Aldecaldos for life.
Aldecaldos and Nomads in general seem to represent the original American culture while corporate culture morphed from the Technocrats in America. Cyberpunk definitely shows how each aspect of American culture changed in the Cyberpunk timeline.

It’s rare enough for a game to give you this sense of responsibility for someone. It’s even rarer that a game gives you every opportunity to change your mind. This only happens if you REALLY commit to it, and even then you can choose what tone to set. It’s incredible.
“She made it-preem that’s what counts” As someone who has played the TRPG and is kinda used to be backstabbed and zeroed in NC 😂 When one of your people makes it out it’s a reason to celebrate even more when you had a part in it. So despite everything this is what my V chose to do.
One of my favourites for sure! Can’t wait to put a Songbird mix together, her tracks are just beautiful. Big fan of your channel too btw, thanks for all the content!
It is also the best one in terms of narrative: Reed dies, since death is the only way he can free himself by the ideals that chain him to those who betrayed him. Alex lives, leaving all behind as she said she wanted. Songbird is "free" in a sense and this ending allows the devs to connect to a possible mister blue eyes plot. And in a world of lies and betrayal and lack of hope for the future, V shows empathy and helps a girl that finds herself stuck in a situation she was forced to dive in by powerful people. I also think "don't fear the reaper" is the canon ending for V, because it closes his relationship with Johnny in good terms and closes Johnny's arc by allowing him to take revenge against Arasaka and reunite with the woman he loves, Alt as he always wanted. And he leaves V, changed by his journey with Johnny from a reluctant hero to someone that is willing to fight until the end in hope for a better future. It also fits and contrasts very well with the "Saving yourself" theme of Cyberpunk, because if you notice, you obtain the best endings and nice end-game messages after interacting and helping your friends. In a sense, the game tells us that being selfish and egocentric isn't the only way to save yourself. At the end, if you die anyway, you will have lots of people and loved ones that will remember you (Misty, Viktor, Jefferson, Judy, Panam, River, Kerry ecc.) and I think that's beautiful.
I had to free her, I saw too much of my own character in her. She had a different start than you did sure, but this is her only way. You still have Johnny, Panam, and Rouge to figure your problem out. Jackie would have wanted you to save her too I think, and my character did a lot of good in his honor.
When reed started counting down I started tearing up because I already knew what came next. No one I killed before that point filled me with more regret and pain than reed.
In a way you freed reed to, from being bent by myres till he broke down into a non-person, he was on his own songbird path of selfdestruction by service to a person, not an idea..
I was gonna betray her to the FIA, but i just couldn't do it. Her eyes were so weak....CDPR did an insane job with this DLC. Its honestly a bit jarring going from PL content to base game content (and I really love the base game)
I still feel like this goes perfectly with the nomad and Corpo life path, as a nomad, you value freedom above all else and as a Corpo.. well, you know what it is to be a slave
Do you think you could make a sort of "Killing Moon" compilation video where all the ambiant and combat music from the quest (both on and off the soundtrack) are put into one video and flow from each other into the next, possibly even with the actual Phantom Liberty song in there as well at the end? I feel like all the songs really flow into each other really well and it'd be nice to have a compilation to show that.
This game hit my heart. I play first time Cyberpunk and i see this real world looks like a Night City. Population and people. This game the real world future and makers looks like a Alien movies engineers.
I remember what was going through my head when i was bringing Songbird out of the tram and walking to the space shuttle. I was mad at her for not telling me in the first place that the captured AI can only be used once as I hate liars, moreso from those that I consider allies or friends. But after thinking what she has gone through and the lengths she had to go to be free, I mean she pissed off Myers enough to send the special forces, I couldn't blame her. Plus as a Nomad, i gave her my word that i would help her, as the second rule of the old Nomad code states "your word is your bond", so I was gonna see this through to the end, especially considering how far Meyers was going just to kill us and fail. And then Reed showed up, the man I naively thought I could trust. I really didn't want to kill him as we kept trying to convince one another to stand down and walk away. He had his orders, I had my promise, and both of us were too stubborn. Then Reed started counting, and I kept trying to convince him to stop, and once he said three, we both drew and I shot him first square in the head due to being a gunslinger. I cried for a moment for having to kill someone I thought was my ally before getting Songbird onboard the shuttle and telling her she was now free. As i took Reeds gun and watched the shuttle launch while talking to Johnny, I had another thought in my head. "Night City is the city of dreams. Very few of those dreams ever come true unless they went all-in, and even then, fewer still gets to live to see it. Songbird was one of those people that went all-in ten times over, and incurred the wrath of President Myers for trying to go against her. But now here she is, being set free like a bird." The odds of me finding my freedom was slim, but at least I was able to help Songbird find hers.
As a Streetkid V, i was sorely, SORELY, tempted to call Reed when Song revealed that she screwed me. However, my V knew what Jackie would do. By my headcannon, my V will forever regret killing Reed, his friend, but knows that if he gave up Songbird, all the innocent and guilty dead would have flatlined for nothing, though he will wonder if it was all worth it until the end of his days. And he will never know the answer.
AHH I finished the game with this ending. The emotions kicking in now D: I surprisingly don't regret choosing this ending as its the only one to actually free songbird. I'm kind of sad it locks me out of the new base game ending (to my knowledge) but still feel this is the best choice. I took like 10 minutes deciding whether to side with reed or songbird initially but I don't regret it. I loved Reed a lot but he was sadly too fixated on blindly following a corrupt government and would unknowingly hurt his friend more than help even if he kept her alive. Songbird craved freedom more than life itself. This is why I feel like this is the best ending for Phantom Liberty even with knowing the bitter fate that V will have resulting from doing it (unless he/she finds help in aldecaldos ending). This ending kind of represents the pure act of selflessness for a friend. That's my thoughts at least. I'm curious slow what you chose initially? Also what was your favorite ending if not your initial choice? I didn't expect to like this dlc so much. I even liked the story of it more than base game story which is a shocker being that I loved it. The only thing I wish they added was one final phone call or something from Songbird instead of just some items. It would be a nice piece of mind to hear her say she’s doing fine or something 😭Also thank you for the tracks! I'm going to be listening to your pl vids now that I finally beat it xD and trying other endings
Sad I didnt had a chance to get rid of Hansen myself, but glad I could do so with Reed and entire spec ops army. Although I wished I could just nethack him to end this himself.
Heavy spoilers ahead: Songbird is an allegorical character representing your own principles. She is really an awful, selfish hypocrite that sold out her employer and manipulated everyone around her, you included. Her actions throughout the expansion becoming more reprehensible as the story goes on. But she is, at first, in the same situation as V is: dying, alone, afraid, desperate. Like V, she is doing everything in her abilities to save herself. And can and will trample over anything and anyone to achieve her goal. As deliberately muddled and ambiguous the scenario is by the devs for the sake of roleplay and interpretation for the player's sake, selling her out to the NUSA for a cure to V's condition is essentially giving her away to the very people that systematically destroyed her life, to be - for all intents and purposes - a slave and living weapon for the NUSA president, with no regard to her life or free will at all. All so that you "get to live" while completely violating all your stated beliefs in doing so. A cure, might I add, that comes at the cost of everything V holds dear. And in the end becoming an awful selfish hypocrite with no regard of the collateral damage left in your wake; an individual that is willing to sell out their principles and beliefs for self gain; just like Songbird.
I agree. I honestly think there are no wrong decisions except what the player thinks is the wrong one. So Mi is infected by BlackWall A.I. You can't tell if it's her or A.I manipulation. If you are to believe she has control maybe sending her to space is best. But in contrast to helping her if you don't her true colors show. It's really an interesting choice.
Oh no she is so bad but insane psychopath like Ellie from the last of us 2 is a good person and victim? No she's not. She is evil. So Mi is grey and Reed is the one who is truly evil in this game.
The difference is that Songbird sells out the employer that tortured her for the past 12 years of her life, everyone she manipulates (expect V) had it coming one way or another. And all that after reaching a point of no return where she was days aways from dying. This makes you more desperate rather than awful or a hypocrite. Whilst V still has other options on the side. Johnny and Alt, and friends that are willing to take bullets for them when it comes down to saving their lives. Yet by siding with NUSA you choose to piss on all that just for the easier way out. Fair and understandable. But if anything makes somebody a hypocrite then that’s that. Especially if someone’s V likes to be someone who rides on the high-horse of morality. And that’s the difference between those two all along, the power of choice. Songbird even in the last moment still gives that power back to V allowing them to decide over their fates. And as Johnny once said “Test of a person's true value? Death. Facing it, staring it down”
@@Icy-be5vl I wouldn't call Reed evil. More like an uncompromising moron. And you know that evil and stupidity are not mutually exclusive in many ways. Never giving up can make one seem unflappable and determined, but can also make you inflexible and one-track minded. Loyalty makes you dependable, and earns you the support of those you show allegiance to; but there are times where others don't deserve your loyalty at all and walking away from them is for the best. Reed never once gives up on people he should have given up on: like the FIA and Myers, who both stabbed him in the back for a "ceasefire" between NUSA and Arasaka. He even resents and mistrusts Myers for giving the green light to sell him out and make Songbird be the one to do it, but his loyalties to the "greater good", the NUSA, prevent him seeing beyond his "duty" and the suffering he causes to those he supposedly holds dear, namely Songbird. His actions really put into question his intentions: after all is said and done, is he after her due to duty, or lingering resentment?
You deny, to them, a weapon - Songbird. While the case could be argued (rightly so) that mercy-killing her in Reed's path is also doing that without compromising a helluva lot more people, the key factor in all of this is Mr. Blue Eyes and the fact the NUSA cannot realistically afford to start a war where it's very clear that they're the aggressor. The attack on Orbital Air was ultimately pinned on someone other than the NUSA so that they could dodge a corporate-sized bullet to the cranium, they lost their chief Blackwall netrunner, and NightCorp continues to advance its interests (whatever they may be) through Mr. Blue Eyes' machinations.
Every ending comes with at price. In this one Myers will go to war. If you side with NUSA she will keep pocking the blackwall until she causes an AI invasion. And it doesn’t really matter if you kill Songbird or not she still gets the body and all the information and benefits that come with it. Same with V’s ending unless they choose to voluntarily off themselves they cause political unrests. Cyberpunk is not about saving the world. It’s about saving yourself.
Nobody knows what is Mr. Blue Eyes agenda and final goal, but what is certain is that someone like Myers cannot have that kind of caliber of weapon for herself.
What’s to say giving So Mi back to Myers won’t lead to mass deaths? So Mi is a WOMD (weapon of mass destruction) to them. With Arasaka poised to start the 5th Corpo War Myer’s answer to Soul Killer is the Blackwall. That’s bound to be disastrous if and When Arasaka strikes. Either way you choose, lives are gonna be lost either way. So it comes down to: on what terms are you okay with? I set songbird free (sent her to the moon) blazing down the rebel path. Saburo was right to contemplate nuking NC(read his personal data shard) this city is a black hole of corruption and death
As a Nomad I often think back to what Jackie said about nomads in the cyberpunk lifepath trailer: that we love freedom.

@@SlowWalkthroughs No, thank you; I've probably looped Night City Chill and Panam's themes a thousand times while writing scripts.
King of Wands is the canon ending for Phantom Liberty, and you can't change my mind. I'm sorry Reed.

I still feel like this goes perfectly with the nomad and Corpo life path, as a nomad, you value freedom above all else and as a Corpo.. well, you know what it is to be a slave
