personally I disagree the happy ending should exist in the form of giving up not in winning and beating the corps but even in the base game I went with the rogue ending cause I didn't want any of the aldecaldos to get hurt but then it decides for me my character took over the afterlife and neglected judy why didn't I after getting Johnny out of my head and winning my few months just leave night city with judy and the aldecaldos like in that ending why can I not just get my few months and that's it it's not much of a win or even a major happy ending but why on earth is there no choice to not have anyone die and just go in as the borderline cyberpsycho you are kill smasher then just leave and live those few months you have left the best you can
I would be pretty disappointed in CDPR if the game gets a real "happy" ending. I don't think it fits the theme of the game or the setting, and they telegraph that from the beginning.
I dunno, I don't really get the appeal of everything having to be so dark and gloomy and hopeless. It felt like they had to go out of their way to make everything look shittier than it actually is in cp2077, more than it would actually make sense.

Like you're really telling me that we get so powerful and influential to be able to kidnap leaders of arasaka, kill their godlike cyberpsycho guardian, break into top research facitilies, facilitate help from a god damn AI, have the best fixer in NC willing to give her life for us... and there is still nobody that can help us with the relic or find an alternative like download us into a clone body or sth?
