Best Life Path Cyberpunk 2077: Which One Should You Choose?
By Nathan Fusco
Choosing the best life path in Cyberpunk 2077 is all about preference and playstyle, as with the Witcher 3, players will most likely replay the game multiple times to experience everything, so you'll probably do the same in Cyberpunk. Players have three options to start off the game.
- Nomad
- Street Kid
- Corpo
All three give you a different prologue unique to your life path and a different reason for knowing Jackie Welles. Spoiler warning, don't get attached. The main implication of your decision is the gameplay and story progression. Depending on which path you chose, you'll have different dialogue options to choose from or even encounters. It acts much like a DnD background, giving you advantages and disadvantages in certain situations.
As you can probably tell, Corpo is about a more wealthy and influential lifestyle allowing you to blend and understand the rich. While Street Kid is all about, you know, the street. For now, most of the romances are unknown until players finish their playthrough, but it's figured that a few romances will be off limits depending on your path.
So which one should you choose?

There is one thing to clarify, the life paths don't pair up with a class perfectly. Whether you want to play as a Solo, Netrunner, or a Techie, the life path isn't about the perfect match. It's all about who do you want to have a good connection with which is really affected by which part of the game you're are currently at. At different points of the game, players will be interacting with corporations, street gangs, or nomads, all trying to make our protagonist's life miserable. Sometimes those interactions can go smoothly or positively without bloodshed based on your background.
So play what you want. And once the game is played more thoroughly, you can replay it with the perfect background in mind.
