That's a very thoughtful reply. I would expect nothing else from you.

spoilerI think the one thing about Star that irks me is that line about a potential cure. That is the one that makes me feel like they're just throwing a copium-bone to the players that desire it. If it was just about travelling away from the hellhole that is Night City and spending your last days with your newfound family in peace, then I would like it a lot more.

CyberpunkI just can't take it as a serious possibility so it doesn't really bother me but I can definitely understand that. I wonder whether it was an attempt to make this ending feel more like an equal alternative to other options instead of giving up to die in peace, or if they tried to make it into a good/positive ending like you said. I'll have to look around if anyone on the team talked about it since launch, it would be interesting to get some insight on that.
