Nomad, street kid or corpo – this question arises each time you go through Cyberpunk 2077. You decide what personal background your figure V was shaped by. And that also has a playful effect, above all you get some special dialogue options or decisions. But how much does that really affect you?
Cyberpunk 2077
Quiz: which life path is right for you?
All special life path dialogues
Reddit user Veenendaler has done a lot of hard work to answer this question. The result is a graphic that shows all of the unique conversation options that are only available for that particular life path. Beware, of course there are spoilers in the picture!

We’ll summarize the results for you without spoilers.
Who has the most life path dialogues? According to the graphic, Corpo-V has the most special dialogues overall, especially during the major main story missions. Nomad-V, on the other hand, has the smallest selection and only two special lines of dialogue in Act 3. Street children have only slightly more special conversations than nomads.
How does that work? Your chosen life path does not change the course of the story of Cyberpunk 2077 significantly – so you don’t have to worry that you will block a certain ending with your choice. Nevertheless, your background has a noticeable effect: It determines your intro and lets you go special ways in some situations.
Corpo-V is of course washed with all Arasaka waters and can therefore more easily assert itself against other corpos. The special dialogue options relate primarily to Meredith, Takemura and Hanako. Straßenkind-V is already very familiar with Night City, which is particularly evident in their special knowledge of the gangs and everyday life there. And Nomaden-V knows everything about clan life outside the city, but has few options in talking to Corpos.

What do players say about it? In the The comments under the post there is much praise for Veenendaler’s work. Opinions about the dialogue options themselves differ: some players think that the background is not noticeable enough, others enjoy playing through the game several times in order to find all the differences.
How many of your life path options you actually see in the game depends on the selection of your missions. As a nomad you (logically) have more specific things to say when dealing with the Aldecaldos. As a corpo, you will have a lot to talk about, especially in Takemura’s missions and at the optional end of “The Devil”.
