==Unique Dialogue Choices==
===Act 1===
*The Ride
**V can deduce Senior Operations Manager Meredith Stout's actions as a corpo agent.
*The Information
**V can tell the Moxes that they have been in the Lizzie's Bar before.
**V can tell doll Evelyn Parker that they are familiar with the Konpeki Plaza franchise.
**V can tell Evelyn that they have heard a few things about Yorinobu Arasaka.
*The Pickup
**During the phone call with Meredith, V can point out that she is in no position to negotiate.
**V can tell Meredith that she is the one who is alone, for failing to recover the Militech transport.
**V can tell Meredith that they have no ties to Militech, and that all corpos uses the same playbook, which they know inside out.
**V can tell Meredith that they know she spiked the credchip with a virus. This also enables an optional objective to remove the virus.
**V's dialogue will change slightly with fellow mercenary Jackie Welles if saying both of them will pay with the spiked chip.
*The Heist
**V can affirm that the Afterlife doesn't look like "all it's bigged up to be", for a club with all the hottest contracts in Night City.
**V can drink "To this!" at the Afterlife, just like what happened at the Lizzie's Bar during The Corpo-Rat job.
**V can talk out the Konpeki Plaza's receptionist into not noting, aggressively "advising" her to do only what she is told to do.
**V can suggest the guest at the Konpeki Plaza's bar to keep down the gossip about Hanako Arasaka.
**V can feel offended when the Konpeki Plaza's bartender call him "kiddo" (male) or "baby" (female), and demand the bartender's name to make sure the bartender's supervisor hears about this.
**V can agree with Jackie's comment about Yorinobu's behaviour, that he "prolly just got bored", saying that "you can kick the rat outta corp". Jackie will complete the phrase, saying "but you'll never kick the corp outta the rat".
===Act 2===
*Playing for Time
**V can tell former Arasaka bodyguard Goro Takemura that they have seen the exterminators before, from Troy.
**V can speculate that bioengineer Anders Hellman defected because some other corp may have poached him.
*Automatic Love
**V can tell caretaker Woodman that he's got no idea who's behind the Tyger Claws, and that Evelyn's disappearance may cause problems for him because she is linked to Arasaka.
*Disasterpiece
**V can tell XBD Dealer Lenny Nero that if they were a badge they would have enough evidence to arrest him already.
*I Walk the Line
**V can ask Voodoo Boys member Placide if the Voodoo Boys pissed off NetWatch recently. He responds that the reason is the same as always: Rego Agwe, the Voodoo Boys' subnet outside of NetWatch's control.
**V can amicably hear out NetWatch agent Bryce Mosley.
**V can ask Mosley why NetWatch does not attack the Voodoo Boys head on.
*Ghost Town
**V can notice that Kang Tao is preparing to transfer Hellman, as the Chinese corp playback is an open book to them.
*Down on the Street
**V can tell Takemura that they hope cyberninja and solo Sandayu Oda doesn't blindly follow unwritten Arasaka protocol rules existing in Night City: prep an interrogator and send two elite squads with air support to grab suspects of treason. Takemura will respond that understands V's point, but will explain that, if Oda had ulterior motives, he will need no elites, no air support, no one but himself.
**V can appeal to Oda saying that he is an Arasaka soldier, and remind him of his duty to be truthful to his superiors. He will respond saying that he won't be lectured by a thief. V will then remind Oda that wasn't always what they are now, just like Takemura didn't always look like a bum, and that if he is not so enticed to join them at the bottom of the heap, that he needs to do his duty and tell Hanako what nobody else wants to hear. Oda will leave without saying anything else, and Takemura will comment that V's words should be food for Oda's thought. V will respond that just gotta tell it as it is sometimes.
**V can convince fixer Wakako Okada to not call the authorities on Takemura as she may be linked to the world's most wanted Japanese fugitive.
*Gimme Danger
**V can tell Takemura that Yorinobu is putting on the parade to show off his attachment to Arasaka and its values, and to solidify his legitimacy.
**V can tell Takemura that Arasaka founder Saburo Arasaka's death must've really fed the flames between the different factions within Arasaka. He will agree and explain to V the actual balance of power between the three major factions: Kiji (which which supports Hanako), Hato (which supports Michiko Arasaka) and Tako (which supports Yorinobu).
**V can tell Takemura about when they were a kid: nights spent lookin' for a star, any star... all dimmed by city lights, silent lullabies sung by the flickering signs of Charter Hill...
**V can remind Takemura that they worked at Arasaka, and saw how corpos operate, and how it wasn't roses and rainbows.
*Search and Destroy
**Upon meeting Hanako after she has been kidnapped by Takemura, V can apologize for having to speak to her under such circumstances. Hanako will point out that this is the second time she has heard this today (the first time being when Takemura said this).
**V can agree with Hanako that it is hard to believe that Yorinobu killed Saburo, but since they knew that Hanako is an honorable person, worthy of trust, V will wanna make her an offer, who will act surprised.
===Act 3===
*Nocturne Op55N1
**V can bow to Hanako and thank her for the meeting.
**V can say that, like Hanako, V knows their place, from where they came from, and hope to one day go back to Arasaka.
**V can argue with musician and terrorist Johnny Silverhand in the elevator, after meeting with Hanako, angrily saying that know perfectly well how corporats operate: "You don't play ball willingly, they force you. They don't play games, and don't invite you for a meal at a restaurant with a grand piano". Johnny will tell V to relax.
**V can argue with new age spiritualist Misty Olszewski that working with Arasaka again may make things go back to normal.
*Last Caress

*Totalimmortal
**When V goes to the Saburo's personal office at the Arasaka Tower with Hanako, V will reveal that they have never heard of such place, despite being in counterintelligence for a while. Hanako will reveal that such place is one of the Arasaka's most closely guarded secrets.
**V can argue with Hanako that the corporates won't have a choice but find the courage to admit their mistakes, because Arasaka's future is on the line.
**V can tell Saburo that it is an honor to finally make his acquaintance.
**V can accuse the Arasaka board of not even order a proper inquiry into Saburo's cause of death.
**V can identify the failed corporate coup ongoing on the screen pointed out by Yorinobu.
**V can accuse Yorinobu of being even worse than his father because, despite ruling with an iron fist, Saburo didn't need to purge people to hold onto power like he did.
*Where is My Mind?
**V can accuse Johnny of blaming Arasaka again because things didn't go as he planned, and pinning every little thing on it got old a long, long time ago.
**V can tell Sachiko Kusama that they know their own body and they won't last long on the treadmill test. Kusama will respond that the tests are necessary and must be performed.
**V can ask Takemura that if it was Hanako who wanted him to talk to them. Takemura will respond that she has already forgotten V, and that he was called from the clinic, saying that someone V knew should speak with them.
===Gigs and Side Jobs===
*Ex-Factor
**V can ask braindance techie Judy Álvarez to be more specific about what to expect from the meeting with Maiko Maeda at dollhouse Clouds. She will respond to expect anything.
**After Judy and V get dismissed by Maiko, V can comment that Maiko is just putting on an act, and a few days down the line she'll tell Judy her plan to take over Clouds, as if it was hers.
*Talkin' 'bout a Revolution
**V can convince Maiko that Judy's play might work, explaining that if they get Hiromi Sato at his apartment, where he thinks he's completely safe, his Tyger Claws bosses will understand what they're looking to demonstrate.
*Pisces
**If V kills Maiko, V can justify it to Judy by saying that Maiko would've been worse than Hiromi Sato. Judy will then angrily ask if that was reason enough to take her life.
**If V convinces the Tyger Claws bosses to promote Maiko, they can tell her that the eurodollars she offered is a little less than they expected for assisting in an internal gang coup and blackmailing the leaders of one of Night City's most powerful gangs. V can also accuse Maiko from skimping from the get-go on day one, and ironically tell her she will make a fab boss. Both dialogue options will result in Maiko paying more for the job, if V accepts the payment. It's still possible to refuse Maiko's payment after this dialogue.
**If V convinces the Tyger Claws bosses to promote Maiko, they can tell Judy that changes this big need to come gradually, and that revolutions always sounds great in theory, but Night City's about wheelin' and dealin'. Judy will disagree, saying that for them it's about profit, but for her it's about people. V will disagree with Judy, saying that the first casualties of revolutions are the revolutionaries, and that bringing anarchy to Clouds will not end well.
*Riders on the Storm
**During the discussion between nomads Saul Bright or Panam Palmer, about joining or not forces with corporation Biotechnica to handle the Raffles, V can side with Panam, saying that they worked for corps like Arasaka and how know they this'll end. Saul will argue that Biotechnica is no Arasaka, but V will respond that there is no difference, as both treated people like them as labor to be exploited and ultimately consumed, as the best case scenario.
***If V sides with Saul, they can say that the stronger survive and that Biotechnica plays a fair game: "You snug under their wing, you might just have a chance."
*There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
**V can tell braindance producer Rachel Casich that they know the kind of budgets braindances get, and to convince her to pay more for leaving murderer Joshua Stephenson alone. Rachel will agree and pay triple.
*The Ballad of Buck Ravers
**V can tell clothing vendor Karim Noel that they know what Arasaka suits say about Johnny Silverhand: "they say if a collar-in-training doesn't make deadline, the ghost of a man, split in two will get him - however, nobody remembers the ghost is Johnny". Karim will be impressed with V getting someone from Arasaka to tell them that.
*Pyramid Song
**When V interacts with the sunken diner sign, they can comment with Judy that big family gatherings were great and where they got real fish, though they prefer synth fish more because real fish was just too stinky.
**V can tell Judy that they think that all cities will look the same if lined up, because corps are making sure of making life uniform everywhere. Judy will respond that maybe all cities got allurin' faces, but stay long in one city and you see what's behind it.
*KOLD MIRAGE
**V can tell netrunner and former corpo Nix that they know him from somewhere.
*Spellbound
** V can see through R3n0's corporate disguise and uses that to get a discount.
*I Fought the Law

*Rebel! Rebel!
**V can say the whole attack on the Us Cracks' gear truck stinks of one big media play, as that the way Kerry somehow knew where to find the gear truck of some Asian dolls doing a cover of his song is a juicy little scandal for the media. They will also comment that, best case scenario, Kerry knows the game they're playing, and worst case, they're playing Kerry. Kerry will hope that V is wrong, 'cause otherwise, Johnny Silverhand woulda been right from the get-go.
*Gig: Freedom of the Press
**V can mention to media Max Jones that corporations consider well-informed fixers a greater threat than medias.
*Gig: Tyger and Vulture
**When the Tyger Claw bouncer tells V that they have to pay to get inside the casino, V can lie and say that they want to talk to the boss to negotiate payment for bringing in easy prey for the business. The guard will then allow V in the casino.
==Phantom Liberty==
*Dog Eat Dog
**When netrunner Songbird asks V to go to Dogtown, V initially refuses, commenting that Downtown is a no-man's zone where you shoot first, ask questions later. Songbird will taunt V, asking that the chance to live to a ripe old age not reason enough to go.
*Spider and the Fly
**V can tell President Rosalind Myers that they saw their fill of gank-magnet ventures in a past life in Arasaka Research and Development, specializing in "data acquisition", which Myers calls a quaint name for corporate espionage, and V agrees that it's quaint indeed.
*Unfinished Sympathy
**V can comment to FIA agent Alena Xenakis how they never thought they would live to see the start of a fifth corporate war.
*Lucretia My Reflection
**V can comment to Myers that BARGHEST Colonel Kurt Hansen decided to wave a classic false flag: saw doubt, reap apprehension towards any NUSA attempt to get Myers back. Both ends fightin' the middle. Classic bluff, nothin' more.
**V can comment to Rosalind Myers how FIA agent Solomon Reed sounds like a true asset, being seven years under cover and V never saw "Reed" on file while V were Arasaka Counterintel. Myers tell V to consider that Reed may be above V's pay grade, and suggests V to go back and check again, up V's clearance.
**When Reed tells V that he works the door at a club as a bouncer, V can comment to him one thing they have in common - both got potential they are wastin'. Reed will angrily question how bein' on Arasaka's payroll is realizing one' potential, then V will question if he got a grudge and if 'Saka step on his toe that hard. Reed will respond that yeah, they tried to off him and botched it, and V will comment that makes two things V and Reed have in common, and though somethin' tells V they won't stop at that.
*Balls to the Wall
**When recruit Paco offers V the hallucinogenic drug Deep Dive, V can recognize it as Militech cognitive enhancer, spiked with somethin', same kind of inhaler, and say it will be one hell of a ride. Babs will question how the hell V know shit like this, and V will respond that they'd give it in training.
*Get It Together
**V can question Alena Xenakis why it matters if V likes playin' fancy dress-up, as they're gonna do what needs doin', preferences be damned.
*You Know My Name
**When a BARGHEST soldier threats V and Reed to "fuck out now" at the Black Sapphire skyscraper, V can raise the tone, telling him to "fuck the fuck off". The soldier will be embarrassed and lower his tone, telling them "please make your way to the exit".
*Shot by Both Sides
**V can tell media Bree that they know how she feels, when she tells them that she changed her life from corpo to media. V says it wasn't easy, but promises that it gets better.

*Gig: Treating Symptoms
**V can question Alan if he is really an undercover NetWatch agent.
*Gig: Spy in the Jungle
**When Brazilian Intelligence Agency agent Steven Santos scans V and see that V were affiliated once to Arasaka counterintelligence, V can comment about the lack of more data on the scan, calling it "amateur hour".
**When BIA agent Ana explains about the Mark Bana case, V can comment that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency's clearly tryin' to keep the Bana biz under wraps. When Ana asks why, V responds that it's probably inconvenient, as sometimes agencies rather not know things, at least not in any official capacity.
*Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos
**If V asks corporate netrunner Sandra Dorsett for help to bust into MaxTac's datafort and snatch any intel on the next Psychoquad convoy headed for Los Padres, and Sandra for a favor in return, install a virus on a MaxTac officer's body, V can ask who Sandra's spyin' on MacTac for, but Sandra will refuse to comment.

==Other==
*V can call fixer Muamar Reyes and ask him if he's ever worked for a corp. Muamar will ask them if they are trying to offend him. V will respond that have met a few of Muamar's kind - quick, talk a good game, always fighting for "their" people for a small fee -, and most of 'em wore suits.
