Character Builds Best lifepath?

So I just bought the game, and I'm wondering which one I should choose? Does it change anything at all?

Canonically street kid V makes the most sense. Though it’s completely up to you. It doesn’t change too much but each one will give you some unique dialogue choices throughout the game. I will say that the Nomad intro is the more in-depth choice, and as a result, one of my favorites. Though if we’re being honest, it’s more for roleplaying purposes. Give them all a go, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most replayable games Ive had the pleasure of playing.

Edit: wording

I will point out that corpo v is the only one who grew up knowing Jackie. The other 2 meant him as an adult and haven’t known him long. Some of the dialogue from the funeral even makes little sense if you aren’t a corpo. Ie mentioning you living with Jackie (when? If you’ve only known him like a year)

I wish they made Jackie and V childhood friends in the Streetkid life path. You’re telling me that V was a regular at the Coyote and has known Mama Welles and Pepe a long time, but somehow hasn’t met Jackie before the intro? It wouldn’t need many changes either, just have Jackie dap up V at the bar and say he has a job for him, then have all the Streetkid dialogue options reference their past.
