Corpos begin their adventure in the heart of the Night City business district, also known as the City Center, surrounded with sleek and towering skyscrapers with boardrooms of executives shaking hands on underhanded deals. The Corpo Life Path, as you might assume from the name, is all about holding one's own while navigating around people consumed with money, power, and respect.

Nomad Starting Destination: The Badlands.Nomad Backstory: V is an outsider from The Badlands looking for a new life in Night City.Since they reside in the outskirts, Nomads are savvy in the business of acquiring and transporting stolen corporate goods and turning them for a profit. Inside of Night City, Nomads have bad reputations, especially with the corporate elite and police, and are treated very much like outcasts. Starting their journey in the vast desert-like district outside of Night City called "The Badlands", Nomads are scrappy and resourceful people who pride themselves in their strong family dynamics, forming clans that function similarly to small communities. The Nomad Life Path is one that revolves around a story of an outsider. Read on for more background on each Life Path. The Life Path also determines V's starting clothes, but you can change those fairly quickly.

Some characters will refer to V's origins too. For instance, if you meet another Nomad, V can refer to their time as a Nomad and that can spark more conversation. Your choice doesn't give you any Attribute or Perk advantages, but some characters you'll meet will have different things to say to V depending on your Life Path. While this is generally inconsequential, it is only something you can experience while on different life paths. There are three Life Paths to pick from: Nomad, Street Kid, or Corpo (short for Corporate).Įach Life Path has exclusive missions, and every now and then you'll see options for V to refer to their Life Path in a conversation.
