Cyberpunk 2077 Romance

Romance is a gameplay mechanic in . V is able to romance or have intimate encounters with a number of characters in Night City.
==Mechanics==
===Requirements===
V must meet specific requirements in order to romance someone. Characters have their own preferences as to who they are interested, dependent on V's body type of choice and gender-dependent voice. Lifepath or genitalia do not affect romance (for example, you can romance Judy as a female V with a penis as long as you have feminine body type and voice, and River will romance a male V as long as he has a feminine body type).
If V's body and voice match, they can pursue romances with two characters simultaneously with no consequences. Male V can romance both Panam and Kerry, while female V can romance both River and Judy. V has the option to reject starting a romance with someone prior to the romantic encounter and/or right after it.
===Apartments===
Finishing River, Kerry, Panam or Judy's side quests will unlock their apartments for V to use. If in a romantic relationship, more interactions will appear such as sleeping with the love interest.
===Hangouts===
Introduced in Patch 2.1, V has the option to hang out with their romantic partner in most of V's rented apartments. This event will start the quest I Really Want to Stay at Your House, which appears during every hangout. After its first completion, V will receive a message from a delivery service company, giving them the option to send a gift to their partner. After a couple of days, the partner will message V back about their gift, which is then displayed in the partner's home.

==Endings==
Only the romances involving Panam, Judy, River and Kerry have an impact on the endings, and it is possible for them to end their relationship with V depending on the path chosen.
During Nocturne Op55N1, V will have the option to call their romantic partner one last time. If V is in two relationships, they will only be able to choose one, locking the other one out of the endings. This means the secondary love interest will not show up at the watchtower during All Along the Watchtower (Panam will always be present here, but then without her romantic dialogue) or in the shower with V in Path of Glory, although they can call them while they are at the Arasaka Orbital Station during Where is My Mind?. They won't appear in the New Dawn Fades, but they will leave some messages that Johnny can read. They will also appear in the credits scenes and the voicemail will vary depending on the chosen ending.
:If V has a relationship with Panam or Judy, the partner will decide to stay together with V, leaving Night City for good. However, if V is with River or Kerry, they will show up at the watchtower but refuse to leave Night City, ending their relationship with V.
:If V has a relationship with River or Kerry, they will decide to wait for V to finish the Crystal Palace gig so they can return to Night City. If V is with Panam or Judy, they will comment they don't want to be in NC anymore, but since V cannot leave yet, the partner ends the relationship, and will shortly leave Night City. However, in her voicemail Panam appears to be open to rekindling things, telling V to let her know if they ever get bored of the city.
:If V has a relationship with Panam or Judy, they will leave Night City after the call. If V has a relationship with River or Kerry, they will wait for V to return to NC.
:V unexpectedly goes into a coma for two years due to the surgery to remove the Relic, leaving their friends and possible romances with little to no idea of what happened to them. Panam refuses to take V's calls and Mitch asks V to stop trying to call her. Judy moves to Pittsburgh and is happily married to a woman named Bianca. River is too ashamed to see V after making morally questionable choices in order to fund Randy's treatment. Kerry is happy to hear from V and seems happy to resume their relationship, but he is busy on a tour and won't be able to see V in person for two to four months.
:Johnny in V's body will ignore all romances and leave Night City. The romanced character will leave sorrow or angry voicemails on V's phone.
:If V chooses to commit suicide, all characters will be devastated and leave upset voicemails on V's phone.
