  Some details that I noticed about those endings:<br><br>- if you arrive to meet Songbird in the van quickly enough, when she complains about V being late, you can respond to her that you arrived as soon as she called, which makes her apologise by saying that it&apos;s her condition messing with her perception of time. This response is not available if you arrive some time after she called<br><br>- when you are driving with Songbird to the Spaceport and she has a conversation with V about trust, V has a unique response for each love interest that they started relationship with. What&apos;s crazier however is the fact that devs also included unique dialogue option for each love interest that you initiated relationship with, but didn&apos;t fully commit (like telling them that it won&apos;t work out after sex, which ends the romance path in some cases), with V using them as examples of people they care about which they ended up hurting in some way<br><br>- Cynthia does have a different reaction to V if you ended up ruining her marriage with Pepe, with her telling you how much you destroyed her life. She also have an extra comment if you approach her while wearing the workmen&apos;s uniform you receive from Songbird, with her assuming that V also took a second job (I think it only works if you didn&apos;t already talked with her before obtaining the uniform)<br><br>- that guy at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRldd9lfFfk&amp;t=805">13:25</a> actually have a lot more going for him. He is another character you could run into back in the base game. He was the drunkard from Konpeki Plaza bar ranting about Hanako&apos;s arrival who you can calm down. If you talked to him back then, he will recognize you for that, but only if you didn&apos;t defeat Razor or did the quest with Samurai reunion before this point. Why Samurai reunion quest? Because if you did it, but didn&apos;t defeat Razor, this guy will recognize you from that concert and only if during the concert you picked the option to play the sick solo (which admittedly, everyone pick anyway). So yeah, they gave this one guy plenty of quite layered callbacks. To keep it simpler, the hierarchy of callbacks seems to be Razor&gt;Samurai concert&gt;Konpeki Plaza if you want to check it out<br><br>- after Songbird tells you that she lied to you, picking the response saying that you won&apos;t forgive her for that, changes V&apos;s final words to her, when you sending her to the Moon, to ones that feels a lot colder. Nice bit of consistency<br><br>- the names on the list of victims of the Orbital Air&apos;s attack are references to the game creators (the most noticeable for me was Pablo Sascobar being reference to Paweł Sasko). Also Jefferson Peralez supposed to have a different message to the victims if you told him the truth in Dream On quest, but it doesn&apos;t seem to display correctly in-game. In his paranoic state he supposed to write something like &quot;Your strings were cut down too early&quot;. <br><br>- regarding Chang Hoon Nam, after his accident, you can send him to Nomads to make sure that Max Tac won&apos;t track him down. Later you will get an angry phone call from Wakako asking you about what happened to him. If I remember right, after sending him to Nomads, you can encounter Chang in Aldecaldos camp at some point. When talking to him about sending him to Nomads, V might reference one of the previously completed fixer gigs (Flight of The Cheetah) and tell him how he helped Hwangbo escape with Nomads assistance <br><br>- when it comes to Sandra, if you are Corpo, you can pressure her into sharing more details about why she needs this backdoor installed, with V figuring out that she&apos;s doing it for another client of her and someone really powerful, who will most benefit from access to the NCPD data bases, but Sandra refuses to give a name<br><br>- if you didn&apos;t do Stadium Love, but did the quest with Panam in which she delivers drugs to the 6th Street, Gunner will recognize V as Panam&apos;s friend<br><br>- you can call River to ask for help with obtaining informations about Max Tac convoy, although obviously given his position in the force, he is unable to do so, but still pretty nice that they included that. He has a different response depending on whether he is still part of the police force

  I chose to betray SoMi at first because I didn&apos;t fully trust her and believed Reed could help her, but I saw her memories and granted her wish. My intuition told me Myers was no good.

  I&apos;m not the only one who played that ending, without knowing what I was getting into, at 2 am? What a rush!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRldd9lfFfk&amp;t=212">3:32</a> If you look closely at the scene where Alex is Sandevestan-ing Hansen, you can actually see her grab the knife when he tries to use it on her. So yeah looks like she took it.

  Fun fact. If you have second hearth upgrade you will get a new animation if he finishes you off. You will block his last knife stab and push him away from yourself.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRldd9lfFfk&amp;t=1398">23:18</a> Everyone is responsible for their actions. Solely for THEIR actions, not from others&apos;. The Orbital Air massacre is entirely on Myers&apos; shoulders IMO.

  It seemed so painfully obvious that the NUSA wouldn&apos;t help her that I sided wkth Songbird, even when she reveals she lied to you, she&apos;s so messed up and her life has been so terrible I took pity and still sent her to the Moon. I raided Arasaka by myself later, I think this is the best path.

  The most interesting part about siding with SoMi for me was that I was so invested into the mission, into helping her, I never considered that she could be lying, that she could betray V, and I have no idea why, when she tells you I was, Of course she lied how I did not see that, I felt so betrayed, I could not go through with it, I left her in the train and gave her up to Reed. I felt a bit stupid afterwards, &nbsp;I feel like V being so desperate to find a cure, that they could not afford doubting her, I don&apos;t regret being naive, the experience was awesome, and it only works once

  I honestly didn&apos;t care about So Mi or Reed, i chose my path based on what ended up best for Alex. V is basically screwed no matter the ending, Reed touts his loyalties while compromising all of them by the end, and So Mi is pretty much in the same boat as V, inevitably losing her life/body no matter what you choose. Alex is a real one and she deserves a happy ending.

  I think you&apos;re really underselling just how good the Quantum Tuner is, especially now that a lot of Cyberware has been rebalanced to have shorter cooldown. For those who don&apos;t know; the Quantum Tuner is essentially a gas tank that can hold up to 60 seconds of &quot;spare&quot; cooldown. This cooldown will get dumped into any Cyberware that completely depletes its own cooldown, refreshing it for immediate reuse. This will happen as much as it needs to until the tank is empty, at which point, it will begin to refill itself automatically whenever you are not in combat. This can have incredible applications, as it essentially allows you to bank multiple consecutive uses of some of the most powerful Cyberware in the game. Berserk, Sandevistan, Overclock, it works for all of them. Better yet, effects that reduce cooldown such as perks and the Tuner&apos;s own passive effect will reduce how much &quot;gas&quot; is needed to fill up each piece of Cyberware. A Berserk with a 25 second cooldown, with the Tuner and the cooldown reduction perk, will have a cooldown of 17.5 seconds, meaning that a full Tuner will give you <i>three spare back to back uses</i> of Berserk <b>in addition to</b> the one use held in the Berserk itself. There are very, <i>very</i> few combat encounters that can&apos;t be cleared with 4 back to back Berserks.<br><br>It even works with things you might not expect it to, like Kerenzikovs and optical camo. Even better; with the Relic perk that lets you escape combat by activating camo, you can start filling the tank again, and it will continue to fill as long as you maintain stealth. The uses are so varied, it really makes sense to me why it&apos;s one of the only unique items in So Mi ending. It&apos;s that powerful.
