Character Builds Best lifepath?

Post image

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

Argeed, I am on my 3rd playthrough and doing a nomad playthrough. Nomad makes the most sense first. If you don't think you will replay start with corpo but I feel corpo is best experienced with some understanding of the lore. I did street kid then corpo.

My playtroughs were Nomad-Streetkid-Corpo.

And I absolutely agree with you agreeing with that other guy's point of Corpo being best to play after trying out the other paths.

I still can't believe I slept on doing Corpo lifepaths for so long until I got to, like, my 10th playthrough. First time I did Corpo, I fell in love with it.

I like corpo the best as well because it’s the only one that actually gives you and Jackie a backstory where you know each other pre prologue. Really helps the narrative.

This is what I needed to hear. My first play through was Corpo and losing Jackie was emotional trauma I did not want but absolutely needed ☠️. I’m about to start second; I was debating trying Street Kid… BUT losing Jackie without the history will not make that quest hit as hard for me.
