I don't think Regina is working with Militech, at least not wholesale, I say this because one of the first psychos we can fight is Lt Mower who was targeted by a Militech hit squad and Regina sends in V to capture her alive AGAINST their desires.
Found out the hard way, if V (as Aguilar) zeros Bennett at the wake, Mr. Hands is indeed quite peeved for putting Jago in charge. But. Later on, he calls V to comment on how well Jago is doing, how smoothly things are running, contrary to his expectations, and compliments V on a good choice. You could count this against Hands in that his logic for "people don't follow bookkeepers" was somewhat short-sighted. But still deserves the top spot, for being the man pulling the strings in Dogtown.
@@relaxedswede Yes, accidentally aggro'd Bennett to the point where he was about to shoot Jago, and you have the option of shooting Bennett first. The attending Barghest didn't seem to mind, perhaps even a bit relieved.
Something I've wondered about for a while: if you're playing as a Nomad, at the beginning, during the lifepath intro where you meet Jackie for the first time, who is the fixer who set up that job? When Jackie says "Did the fixer give you the detes?" V says, "He.... he did." So the fixer is definitely a man. That immediately rules out Dakota, Regina, and Wakako. I'm guessing it's not Mr. Hands, Muamar, or Dino, because because they all introduce themselves when they call you after Watson gets taken off lockdown (although they could have known Jackie and not you, so I might be wrong about that). I've tried to logically figure out who it is using shards and dialogue in the game, but I can't seem to arrive at any answers. Who was the fixer who set up the "Nomad iguana smuggling" gig at the start of the game?
The answer is Willie McCoy, the fixer who I left out since we don't even get to meet him. Jackie Welles contacted him to ask for assistance with the smuggling job. So Willie McCoy contacted to help Jackie with his smuggling mission. It's one of those pieces of lore you only find in the shards
Small detail about dex's 'ride for one', the way he says "shuttle I booked, today", meaning he booked that shuttle during the planning stage of the heist and never intended to pay anyone, because realistically how are some NC gonks going to hit Dex if he's on the moon?
It’s a good list. Rogue and Hands do the best job of seeing the big picture, even have gigs for balancing their ecosystems. Rogue has the Johnny Silverhand weakness, but Hands seems only to have a giant screen sphinx cat weakness😂. The Russian fixer, though, intelligent at a higher level, but not street smart. Like a tiger up to his neck in the Amazon, trying to fight piranhas. Just out of his element. I’d chalk that up to dumb superiors, it reeks of management disconnect 😂. No evidence for that though.
So, in Dakota's favor; She's a Nomad with roots. Which makes her easy to find and track down for a Nomad, which is a risky endeavor being a Nomad Fixer. Nomads are regular cats paws by the corps and the corps have them being vilified in the public eye. Probably because of that the Nomads run up against the various corps constantly, it's almost a vendetta to the various Nomad families. Most notably Militech from what we see and hear in game. Militech is a no slouch Megacorp that regularly goes to bat against Arasaka and is still standing. So it'd stand to reason that Dakota, operating in the Badlands has a pretty savvy understanding of how to toe the line with the corpos at least as well as Dino, if not better. Not to mention the politics of the various Nomad families that blow through Night City. She's been around for awhile and handles herself with grace and dignity. I'd personally rank her at least at Above Average.
Not sure why Faraday, Mr. Blue Eyes, and V are lurking down in the list. Faraday was a fixer, sure, flatlined prior to Cyberpunk 2077, he could have been placed, but wasn't. Mr. Blue Eyes, is he a fixer really? I don't think he accepts jobs and outsources them to mercs (except maybe that one time during Sun). And V? Implied to be a fixer in Sun, but also a mercenary/ V is only as dumb/smart as you are. Did you make an editorial decision at the end not to include them?
Not at all, I used a fixer tier list that was ready made from the internet. Unfortunately it didn't allow me to delete any of the fore-mentioned mistakes so I just worked around them
Great vid but my issue with 3 of your picks are as follows Rogue- while I agree with what you said there’s a part that you left out that I think earns her points and that’s when you do the shipping yard rogue says that she will work with anybody only on her terms which implies that she was smart enough to play the corps for her own benifit which to me is more then anybody else has done. Pardre- the part that I thought was really smart was the part in one of his gigs where the cop was killed where v tells him bout the militech gear an he realized that there was a potential 4th corpo war on the horizon as he says arasaka could be planing to assault militech an that he’s choosing to not get involved which would be a very smart and potentially profitable venture in the future. Hands- while I agree he is smart it really wasn’t smart to not come to dogtown with no rep or any real connections that to me is a big point loss, but yes as a business man he is smart. An the last thing with the cyberpsychos didn’t Mellisa Rory become a maxtac agent as a psycho so they found away already to at least keep it in check right? Anyway let me know if you agree with my points with these I made, great vid again
I hadn't considered that Rogue could be using the corps for her own benefit while making everyone believe she's working with them. Thinking of it from that angle, I agree. She deserves more points. You make a good point about cyberpsychosis. I'm currently working on a video about it and that is one of those points that I'm going to focus on. It appears as though Cyberpsychosis is not a death sentence. So just a matter of figuring out how to get the cure to more people
From my time with the game, I didn't like any of the fixers, heck I didn't even like Rogue. Bunch of wanna be Don's, Wakako was an OG, I wish she had of been a romance option, her and V in some girl on girl action on her desk.
If you ranked Mr. Hands as the smartest one, you also should rank him very low in trustworthness, because it means that you accept the leak of your personal data to Aguilar as intentional from his part.
Yes, if that was actually what happened. If Aguilar is as legendary as they say, perhaps they're keeping track of V on their own? Checking out the competition?
I figured Aguilar heard they were in Night City from the Barghest, used their own resources figure out who was impersonating them. Hands would be the logical source of this information, but also could have been involuntarily leaked/hacked/threatened. Aguilar might have known (or inferred) the existence of the personality imprint, and started tracking from there back to Hands.
@@AndyDustman There is literaly no trace that leads to the V. As i see this, the only explanation how Aguilar find out about V's involvement was either Hands being traitor/clumsy, or FIA tracing and selling V to Cubans for whatever reason. Unless Jago or that second asshole did their own braindances during V's charade. But again, assuming Aguilar is genius and could deduce who the impostor was out of milions of possibilities, it still is suspicious that (s)he did it that fast. edit: I just realise Takemura also could do find out that, but it would be out of his character.
@@secondaryfront seems like Aguilar is a frequent visitor to Dogtown, though: everyone you pass in the Black Diamond recognizes Aguilar. So suppose the real Aguilar drops in to pay his respects, and figures out there's been another Aguilar. They are probably aware of the personality imitating tech, being apparently a high-level operative. So who in Night City/Dogtown has it? Probably makes some inquiries, and Mr. Hands would be high on that list. V might be Hands' "favorite merc", but he's not going to cross Aguilar. Point is, I don't think Hands would give up V unless his life and/or life of his daughter were on the line. (all this is speculative, just an unsolved mystery)
I don't think Regina is working with Militech, at least not wholesale, I say this because one of the first psychos we can fight is Lt Mower who was targeted by a Militech hit squad and Regina sends in V to capture her alive AGAINST their desires.
she works for China, a gig reveals this part of her. Whichever it means the government or a corpo, it is not explained in the game.

Never knew it was possible to kill either Jago or Bennett and still complete the mission. But good info!
@@relaxedswede Yes, accidentally aggro'd Bennett to the point where he was about to shoot Jago, and you have the option of shooting Bennett first. The attending Barghest didn't seem to mind, perhaps even a bit relieved.
El Capitan’s mullet gives him minus-points. But his car-gigs gives him pluss-points.
XD

That actually makes alot of sense, ngl! A ticket to the moon can't be cheap either so this was probably his retirement plan
To be fair, splitting up and not bringing the hustle is smart play as well.
@@RCorvinus not bringing your huscle WITH You, sure.. Leaving them out in the dust like he did TBug 2 years back? That's another story.

Reeks of Soviet incompetence.
love your cyberpunk vids, man i wish i could erase my memory and play this game for the 1st time

My list from fave to fuck-off;
- Hands
- Rogue
- Sebastian
- El Capitan
- Regina
- Dino
- Wakako
- Dakota
- Dex
That's a solid list
Mr. Hands, all the way, for me.
Up until PL, I always wondered about him. Why I couldn’t find him in NC, why he never showed his face.
It was great.
Mr Hands is smart to not show his face publicly too often. Night City can be a dangerous place
Not sure why Faraday, Mr. Blue Eyes, and V are lurking down in the list. Faraday was a fixer, sure, flatlined prior to Cyberpunk 2077, he could have been placed, but wasn't.
