@mwjacobs7 months ago If the worst thing a man does is lie about the source of the meal he cooked for me then someone show me to the altar. River clearly cares about his family. i saw river as a mature romance option for a v who is not interested in rizz. Hesabout his feelings with v- especially if you dont deliberately choose the worst responses to his flirting attempts- and thats wildly attractive. He opens up with v about what happened with his parents and joss tells v thats something he wouldnt do unless he cared. A man may know other men, but a mans sister will give you the real story. I have brothers and i will rat them out.
the romance is actually quite sweet. The developers do drop the ball after the romance is locked in, but they tried to bolster the romance with text messages in later updates. And honestly, if panams toddler like tantrums dont bother you, i dont see how you can have a problem with river. ...Expand 56

@clarencealger8380last year Yeah of all the romances, river is the most missable andi do like having a romance option who promises a modest life outside the city. his home felt like something i needed once all the craziness in nightcity is behind [v] but the way he got into her life and how he kept v attached just felt so forced. As cool as a guy he could' ve been, cyberpunk 2077' s rushed state and lack ofgameplay really left no room to give river any room to be impressive. At least panam, judy, and kerry have their moments but river here is always the one needing you to pick up their slack. If they gave more gigs where neither v nor river is personally attached to just explore each other' s psyche better, that would' ve made their bond feel more natural. I' m down for a good buddy cop duo. ...Expand 44

@r1pbucklast year Except for the judy romance [clearly the sweetest, most naturally progressing one] all thein this story are a little off. But then of the interactions in the game are a ' little off' because they have to happen in a very linear ' because that' s how the story goes' kind of way. River seems like a very normal, not-smooth guy making a veryattempt to create a relationship. He followed exactly the same course of action with male v, and he certainly wasn' t trying to get into male v' s pants. The fact that it seems forced is because the game is constantlyforcing stuff on you without regard to time passing in the game world. In fact the whole timeline of the game is something you have to work to ignore. V is dying yet has seemingly unlimited time to pursue side quests and generally be a
the otherkerry was more of an impulsive hookup than a romance. Panam' s struggles with self-doubt she tries to overcome with rebellion and harebrained schemes completely overshadow the relationship she seems to form with v. Maybe it' s my boomer age showing, but i don' t equate text exchanges with romance either. ...Expand 59

@TheCrystalBlood3 months ago My man really kicked a hornets nest with this video. All the river fans coming out of the night city jungle to defend their man in blue. To be fair, i i also highly encourage to check out how he reacts when you try to kiss him as male v. One of the funniest interactions i' ve seen in a while and probably one of the more lighthearted rejections that don' t feel too awkward. ...Expand

@msuryt.h936410 months ago Yes, i also think that river doesn' t act naturally in front of v. Like trying to look like a good man who loves family with a sad past. Even when river river: " i replaced her looking after the children" and v replied,
v: " no need to explain in detail" and river replied,

@Jo_youwhatmate7 months ago On the final advicetrue nobody knows men better than other men, which is why asking women to trust men, over trusting different men doesn' t make alot of sense.
ulterior motives can go both ways folks, always remember that. Guys if you' re truly just friends with a girl, let her develop her relationships on her own. Women don' t need guidance on how to navigate men. Very much the opposite in fact.
as for who my favourite romance was. My hand.
