      Its the only one ending where he kinda overcomes the FIA and forgives the whole So Mi mess.
      In every other ending either he is your obstacle to help So Mi or he becomes fully the loyal pet he used to be. Otherwise he wont put the FIA in question and probably still serve them.
      So Mi is gone either way. If you help her you hand her over to Mr Blue Eyes pretty much an Rogue AI that has fully control of one the greatest Netrunners that can compete with Soulkiller. Pretty much you giving the Nuke from one Organisation to another. If you return her to Myers she probably will be treated worse then she ever was. Bc she is a traitor in their eyes thus they will force her to do Myers bidding. I think this ending is the best where you show Myers the finger and kinda save Reed from becoming an cold hearted bastard. So Mi is dead and no one can abuse her any longer. The best "Happy Ending" that is possible in this case imo.

    i wanted the happy "moon" ending so bad, but it lacks any closure, you help her to the very end, lie after lie, and after the ending she only sends you some trinkets fully knowing that you're dying, was hoping for more messages, or at least something like "doing well, but cant help in any way because now NUSA is hunting me or something", but no, the only thing we get is "go pickup something somewhere"
    did moon ending first, but after kill ending it felt like it's true happy ending, salvation even

    • @Gaarkukan21
      @Gaarkukan21 ปีที่แล้ว +54

      Yeah Killing Moon and saving So Mi gives off the impression of the ideal ending when in reality it's just as muddy as the other routes. A lot of people tend to ignore the dialogue of So Mi literally admitting tp the fact that helping her is going to set off a bunch of turrets in what is essentially a packed bazaar. Ironically the same group tends to argue that Reed is someone who deserves to be put down despite Somewhat Damaged showing that Songbird does indeed have a degree of personal responsibility she refuses to acknowledge. People tend to also ignore the aftermath of killing So Mi leads to Reed doing exactly what they claim he's incapable of doing.

    I believe seven years ago, So Mi was ordered to get rid of all agents including Reed, who were comprmised from Arasaka just to avoid another Corpo war.

      I wouldn't say "sold". Reed accepted the fact that it was what it took to achieve peace; to make sure noone else was hurt, like the rest of his team who were poisoned, shot in the head, and went MIA. If it wasn't for him, So Mi, Alex, and probably a lot of regular soldiers and civilians would've been killed in the still-ongoing war between Militech and Arasaka
      Being a man of principle, he's only asking So Mi to do the same. After all, she could've rejected Reed's offer to join FIA, take responsibility for her actions, and accept that Netwatch will hunt down everyone she knows because of her. But no, she ran away
      It's a good parallel to V. V chose the merc life. Eventually, a job went wrong, his team was killed, and is now dying because of it
      TL;DR Songbird, Reed, and V are facing consequences for their actions. Reed is asking Songbird to stop running away from her duties

    My "canon" route is siding with Reed and sparing So Mi.
    FIRST; I've made an oath to Myers, and in my book keeping your word, being reliable, is the most important, even if consequences may be pretty bad in the short/long run.
    SECOND; we can't get guarantee that clinic on the moon is 100% legit, they can turn Song into lab rat once again and all she knows could end up in wrong hands at best or start another Corporate/World War at worst.
    THIRD; I believe helping Reed would give him some closure, it's clear as day that what happened 7 years ago still eats and haunts him. He isn't the bad man, just lost... VERY lost.
    FOURTH; getting on the bad side or straight becoming the enemy of nation with help of nationalized military megacorporation and with just one borderline dividing you two doesn't sounds like good idea.
    And FIFTH; ambush on MaxTac convoy, the Cynosure Bunker, Blackwall sequence and final meeting with President Myers from gameplay perspective and story-wise feel more suitable, especially if we take into account promotional video of "Phantom Liberty" song (where we can see Songbird connected to the core).
    Under any other circumstances I'd also honor her death wish, especially knowing too well that denying it equals "Arasaka/Devil ending" for So Mi. But as Johnny said:

Myers was a good companion for the time that we spent together, and Reed is an absolute bro, but I won't handle So Mi back to them. Myers can fuck right off and Reed must understand that there is more than just a successful mission. With this ending my V managed to become the wild card of the situation, still managed to help So Mi, getting Reed out of the bubble that his life was and sending a middle finger to the corporations (rip Alex though). This is my V, a wild card, and this ending is perfect for this dlc.

    The only good ending for Song is her dying. Any other ending is just going to end badly for her as the AI takes her life and memories. She says as much during the talk in her Brooklyn apartment near the end. If you give her to the NUSA, they'll just let the AI continue to take her and find some way to try and control the AI. If you send her to the moon, more likely the AI will fully take over (Mr. Blueeyes seems to be someone controlled by an AI, so unlikely he's doing this to get rid of another AI).

    Although I doubted both Reed and So Mi throughout the beginning of the DLC, by the time I reached the twins mission I had my path focused on Reed. So Mi just kept lying up until the end, and while Reed was withholding info, it still felt like he was being genuine. I saw So Mi as someone that needed help, as patronizing as it may seem, her disregard for the lives of other people, and the dangerous connection to the blackwall, meant that I at least had to try and help/save her.

    Another cool feature about this game is the dystopian outlook of a lot of characters in Night City. A majority of the characters would not be considered morally good (except for Misty) which creates a huge dilemma in making the “right choice.” Although Songbird lied to V, V himself has committed terrible crimes throughout the game. A majority of the endings where V tries to save his own life by any means necessary results in countless unarmed employees in the Arasaka building in being fried by Alt.

    I sent her to the moon and I was happy about it. My V would probably die, but if Arthur Morgan thought me anything is that to save yourself, you must save others. Even when she told me there was one cure, I didn't care. She suffered all her life and was used by everyone. And as my V said, I would have helped her even if she told me there was one cure from the beginning. As she told me that I said to myself I would kill everybody that stand in my way to that shuttle, be it Alex, Reed, the president or all 3. Seeing this ending only solidifies my first choice. My V was like K from BladeRunner 2049, helping others, even at the ultimate price.
    Plus it's not out of the realm of possibility to assume Mr. Blue eyes can help V, after the end of the game, and I am sure So Mi would do everything in her power to help us back.

    • @botep5529
      @botep5529 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree. Theres a line she says in response to V asking why she lied "because youre strong V stronger than me. You will find a way" its kinda shitty justification but shes goddamn right. This is V, he doesnt fear the reaper and he is the legend of night city. He will find a way.

    So they enslaved the girl, made her do things that practically guaranteed a slow painful death, then successively come up with the surprised pikachu face when she's pissed and fucking shit up to get free.
    Naa... the correct action is to go behind Reed, help So Mi, and send her off to the Moon, end Reeds miserable self sacrificial life in the process. The man lives to please an narcissistic egomaniac like, put him out of his misery. So Mi is actively losing herself in the blackwall but fighting for her dear life, Reed is just waiting for the next order or death, whichever comes first, he practically admits to this if you kill So Mi.
    No brainer.

    • @alfredhoonter5955
      @alfredhoonter5955 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly. I went with Reed on my playthrough and was regretting it by the end. I never thought that after all that happened the dumbass would actually hand over songbird to Myers. Songbird got a one in a million chance and took it. Anyone would do the same.
      The argument that a lot of people died because of her doesn't make sense either. Even when siding with Reed a lot of people die. And a good number of them die because of the NUSA.
      But siding with Reed does give you a lot of information regarding what songbird went through. Idk if you still get all that in the other ending as well. Either way I'll be replaying it soon and this time I'm gonna go with songbird.

I know she lied but so did Reed and i kinda understand why she did it. In my opinion neither Reed nor Songbird were evil. They both made mistakes and both lied but they were not bad. The only bad guys here are Hansen and Myers. Every choice is fine as long as these two don't get what they want. For me it was the moon and i'm okay with it. Loved the DLC ❤

      nah when confronted about lying she dodges the issue at first but at the very final sequence in her apartment she wants to confess something but at that point she has forgotten about it as her memory degenerates. Also dont forget that for pure evil she actively helps V in cynosore and stops the murderbot from killing him. This is what makes her such a compelling character as she aint black and white. For every bad thing she does to somebody she tries to do something good in counterbalance. She is just very humanely flawed. her sign should have been gemini, not capricorn.

    I ended up saving So Mi, not so much to save her, but because Blue Eyes is involved with her, and I wanted keep the solo arasaka run as my preferred ending. I figure if I'm getting entangled with them, I'd at least get in their good books first. Seems kinda fitting that V and So Mi both end up escaping night city for space looking for salvation, and given the choice, I'd rather keep Alex alive. It also means V is balancing the board, crippling Militech and Arasaka, hopefully cooling off the next corp war.

    So what bothers me is the thumbnail of this video, because it basically spoils some option that I will somewhen have in PL. I totally understand that it just fits to the video and also to the titel. But the thing is a thumbnail is seen really fast (and so are the gameplay options that are displayed in the thumbnail).
