Listen one thing that irks me about an alarming amount of cyberpunk fans is the dismissal of Jackie and V's friendship?? We didn't have a chance/reason to get attached, who cares about his death DO Y'ALL LACK TIME/CONTEXT AWARENESS?

I can't speak for the other paths yet, but Corpo!V is so close with Jackie. He picks V up when they have nothing left to give. They live, hang and work together after V getting terminated by Arasaka, but even without that, you can contextually tell they are close even before that.

I often see comments about how his death doesn't affect V in real time. Sure, the game doesn't give us a damn grieving period, but in reality neither Night City, nor a death sentence in the form of the relic would. Still, there's so many chances in the game to speak about Jackie, to commemorate him and his achievements, to connect with others over his devastating to V loss. You can always drink in his honor in several missions/quests. You can talk about him every time someone brings up loss. You can mention him to your love interests and other characters throughout your journey. And the warmth and somberness of V's voice every time they do never fails to make me tear up.

If you chose to play your V as a lonewolf edgelord that's fine, but the canon narrative certainly suggests otherwise. V often has the opportunity to choose good, and friendship and love, and to live by their own code that may not fit lawful parameters but it's from the heart.

Jackie being important to V is a choice. Talking about him, checking in on his mother (the fact the devs give us the option to call her?? Chef's kiss) after his passing, including him in all your big celebrations and pity parties is a choice. As is friendship, and chosen family, big components of this game.

Not to get sentimental but What is grief if not love persevering?
