Cyberpunk 2077 prompt list
Prompts from the main quest ofΒ Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red:
β Do I look like a priest that runs a charity to you? β
β Iβm a man of my word, you know that. β
β You know this town. It has strong roots - ever watered by the same blood. β
β I donβt know you, which means youβre worth shit around here and capable of even less. β
β Iβm pleased to see you have not forgotten your roots. β
β So many of the little shits left around hereβ¦ their spines go soft when they look down a barrel. β
β Listen, only one of two ways to do this friendly or fucked up. Either way, the endingβs the same. β
β I suggest you toss them in the sea. Cuffed legs broken so this trash doesnβt float. β
β Iβm always never not nice! β
β Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody, die dipe, old and smellinβ slightly of urine? Or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smellinβ near like posies, βthout seeinβ your thirtieth? β
β Call me olβ fashioned, but I like to look anyone I do biz within the eye. β
β Sneeze in this city and a blossom drops from a cherry tree in Tokyo. β
β Sit your ass down 'fore I plant a bullet in your skull. β
β No offense, but Iβm gonna burn any and all bridges - need a clean break. β
β I see no reason why you should be using expletives. β
β The greatest crimes issue from a desire for excess and not from necessity. β
β Youβd be surprised what peopleβre willinβ to give up to feel secure. β
β Why do I need to care about some bougie prick and his street-kid fantasies? β
β Iβm ____. Would you like to join my gang? β
β Got bored of beinβ rich, anβ then got bored of playinβ tough. β
β I thought I told you not to meddle in my affairs. β
β Did you think I wouldnβt know it was taken from me? β
β Actually, I donβt think of you at all. Ever. β
β You think the world revolves around you. Arrogant. β
β Why did you came? To humiliate me? To personally see to it that I know my place? β
β The nail that protrudes from the wall gets hammeredβ¦ β
β Youβve only ever cared about yourselfβ¦ and your sick schemes. β
β There is much for which I could forgive you, but for treason - no. β
β Iβm just glad your mother didnβt live to see this. The heart should break but once. β
β You shall never have to forgive me for anything again. β
β Anyone with so much as a pinky toe dipped in this mess is as good as dead! β
β Seems Iβve chosen the quiet life, after all. No blaze oβ glory for me. β
β What crawled up your ass? β
β I have found that people lie, most often deceiving themselves. β
β The dead are so very, very loud. And yet, lying is not in their nature. β
β Donβt you dare faint again. Keep your eyes open. β
β Sleepβs a small hint of death, the inevitable. β
β Itβll be terrifying. Itβll be painful. But it doesnβt have to be. β
β As long as youβre alive, thereβs hope. And donβt let anyone tell you otherwise. β
β Life is so beautifully powerful, so much more powerful than death. β
β Iβll kill anyone who gets in my way. You included. β
β Need a smoke. Whereβd you stash yours? β
β I can feel itβ¦ our mindsβ¦ touchingβ¦ Iβm like mold on fruitβ¦ creepinβ into youβ¦ nothing I can do about it. You hear me?! Iβd puke if I fuckinβ could! β
β I am the one who saved your life. β
β If you intend to live, you must reenter the ring. The bell has already tolled. β
β I needed you to live. That hasnβt changed. β
β ____, wait. I need you. β
β I seek revenge. Much more feasible here. β
β Honor among thieves - ever heard of it? β
β Ratsβll squeal when hanginβ by their tails. β
β You know you got some nerve. First youβre out to kill me, now you wanna be my pal?! β
β Trust me. Donβt trust me. I donβt give a fuck. Itβs the least of our worries anyway. β
β Youβre the ghost of Christmas past, asshole. Any Friends you hadβre either dead or so old their memoryβs gone. β
β I died a legend. Nobody forgets that. β
β There is no βus.β β
β Funerals are for the living, not the dead. β
β Iβm bulletproof. Nothing badβll ever happen to me. β
β Make your best friends among the fighters thatβll knock you out cold. β
β Days like this even the meanest motherfuckers pay their respects. β
β Iβm here to say goodbye to a good man. β
β You will bring death to your door. β
β My one concern is to keep you safe in this city forgotten by the Gods. β
β Unlike you, I have not failed to keep my oath to fulfil my duty. β
β Youβre an engram in a fading mind. Nothing should surprise you anymore. β
β Little something called intuition. Ever heard of it? β
β Fuck the menu, letβs ditch this waitress and take our special order to the chef, point-blank. β
β Iβm here to fulfill your deepest, most hidden desire. β
β When true desires go unfulfilled, they turn into needs. β
β Deathβsβ absurdity, the futile struggle before these terrify you. β
β What you really fear is becoming someone else that you donβt recognise in the least. β
β The people Iβve lost live on in my thoughts. And thatβs where Iβll be - a memory. β
β You donβt see death as a destruction, the end, but as change. β
β Iβm afraid of becoming someone else, forgetting who I am. β
β Youβre already becoming someone else, every second of every day. β
β Youβve never backed down from anything in your life, even when you maybe shouldβve. You go through this city knowing a stray bullet could end you while hailing a cab. But thatβs never stopped you from taking action, and it wonβt stop you now. Β β
β Youβve made an impact. β
β Not a single thing in this world isnβt in the process of becoming something else. Likewise you. β
β Never look back. If you gotta kill, kill. If you gotta burn it all to the ground, then let it burn. β
β Everything has its end. β
β What gave me away? Itβs the hair, isnβt it. β
β Couldnβt meet somewhere else? Not big on funerals. β
β No details, no names. No one knows a thing. β
β Got a feeling weβre not gonna become best friends. No chemistry. β
β Is that at all relevant? Or just a cheap scare tactic? β
β We have our own versions of all. We do not use anything from the city. β
β Technology advances, it cannot be stopped. And now catastrophe, come again. This is sure. And soon. The corporations, they do not see de danger. But we - we will be ready. β
β To piss Arasaka off enough so theyβll give you a case of deep-muscle lead poisoning? β
β Itβs not YOUR band. Youβre no solo act. Gonna crash and pull all of us down, too. β
β Iβm the only one with a vision. So unless you got a better one, like I said - Go Fuck. Your. Self. β
β Said you werenβt coming tonight. Not If I can help it. β
β Always gotta shit all over it, donβt you? Any moment that might actually feel good. β
β What, smoking after sex not Zen enough for you? We gotta rewrite βThe Art of War,β too? β
β You can be such a bastard sometimes. β
β How is it subtlety goes so for over your head? Weird for an artist. β
β Itβs all a lie. All of it. A ginormous fiction. Youβre not a rockerboy. Face it. Oughta join the wired wackos on the corners, frothing at the mouth as they scream βDeath to Arasaka!β β
β Think youβve seen through me, do you? β
β We came here to fuck each otherβs brains out, not analyze mine. β
β Not another goddamn word, OK? Just shut up. For once. β
β You donβt know fuck all about me. This is all we have, all we are. β
β God, I hate this fucking town. Hate these slimy fucking fixers. Hate this fucking bar. β
β Where would you rather be now? I could take you away, out to the lands where my clan roams. There arenβt too many jobs out there, butβ¦ weβd find some other useful ways to kill time. β
β Gotta say, that famed charm of yours - overhyped. Or maybe just dulling with age. β
β Were you going for Dickwipe of the Year? β
β Youβre pushinβ bullshit. Heard more than my share of tales 'bout runners who ran off to Never-Never Netland. Just never thought youβd be the next to tell me one. β
β Do you see me as a demon who requires a pact signed in blood? β
β Your death was of your own making. β
β This should be obvious to you as you were responsible for her death. β
β You lack the cred, you lack the gusto - thatβs your problem. β
β Itβs the part where I say I despise petty merc-thiefs who think theyβre hot shit rebels after settin foot in the Afterlife. Might think you took on Arasaka, but youβre just a bug they scraped off the sole of their boot and tossed in the trash. β
β Been tryinβ to learn how youβre wired this whole time. To know who Iβm dealinβ with. Thought you were just unlucky to hirst. But I kept watchinβ and finally realized what your problem is. Youβre dirt from Heywood who found the guts to walk a few extra blocks from home. But turned out the best you can do is chase scavs for ennies. β
β An arrogant assholeβs no small problem, but it ainβt my biggest. Dyinβ is. β
β Death by becoming someone elseβ¦ You didnβt do anything to deserve that fate. β
β You afraid of death? β
β Worst thing you can do to a human - rip their identity out of 'em. Thatβs all I know. β
β Know what? Seems to me you need to have a nemesis, at all times. Ideally a crazy powerful one to feed your egoβ¦ and theβve gotta be practically unbeatable - to justify a suicide run. β
β Iβll decide your fate, fuck all you can do. β
β Iβve declared war not 'cause capitalismβs a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This warβs a peopleβs war against a system thatβs spiralled outta our control. Itβs a war against the fuckinβ forces of entropy, understand?! β
β Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, Iβll kill. β
β You still donβt see it. But you will one day. β
β Two-bit thief, ainβt I? Keep sayinβ so yourself. β
β Think his pretty eyes landed him that gig? β
β Far as I can see, youβre tryna get us killed. Really like to know why. β
β Well, sounds like a suicide run, but done dumber shit than this soβ¦ β
β To make the right decisions with imperfect knowledgeβ¦ that is how you become the worldβs most powerful man. β
β I sense that you judge me. And yet you have no right to. β
β There are no clean hands. But it is important how they become dirty. β
β They gave me what no one else could - values I could honor, live for. This was most important. You dirty your hands for money. I, in the name of principles. β
β Not everybody wants to change the world. β
β You oppose the corporations, their order, their world, in a mindless way, yet you offer no worthy alternative. β
β You show me filthy streets as if no other world exists, as if nothing else is possible. What of the millions who work for corporations and receive stability, safety? β
β People hate corps more than anything. Canβt blame 'em, elther. β
β Sometimes I wish to become a nomad. To leave this world, forget everything. β
β Nomads arenβt lone wolves with egos. Whether theyβre blood or not - family comes first. β
β That day, we both have lost someone important. And we are not at peace with this, so we seek conflict, argue eagerly. β
β Donβt be smart, got no idea what I feel. β
β It is the duty of the living to atone for the dead. β
β You got fuck-all to lose! β
β You and your fuckinβ sick sense of honorβ¦ Todayβs your lucky day, though. β
β Everyone has their role to play in this spectacle. β
β Think they make these motels especially for royal fuck-ups like us? β
β Decide to cross a corp, this is what happens. You think you just stepped in shit. Actually, you fell headfirst into a cesspit. β
β Doesnβt matter how good you are in Night City. On your own, youβre fucked. β
β My dead bodyβd make for a pretty lame-ass witness. β
β It is difficult to choose the right path when each step is a journey into the unknown. But never forget that you are not alone. β
β I saved your ass, got you outta harmβs way, and youβre still gonna doubt my intentions? β
β I think fear of deathβs got you spewinβ misdirected anger. β
β Ordinary people always lose. β
β When the time comes, itβll be my life for yours. β
β Hey, Satan kicked me outta hell, thought Iβd swing by. β
β Decide whose truth matters to you more - yours or somebody elseβs? β
β Only place you fall asleep thinkinβ youβre special, then wake up knowinβ youβre no one. β
β Night City is a city of shadows. Done everything I could to walk clear of 'em for years. β
β One chapter ends, another begins. β
β You knew abut didnβt do a thing about it? Why? Suddenly sprout a conscience just yesterday? β
β Everyone must take their place. β
β This is your last chance to take matters into your own hands. Understand? β
β Got a feeling youβre going to regret this decision. And the moment that dawns I wonβt be there to help. β
β Some believe uncertainty is an evil that should be dispelled through divination. Others claim itβs change that is evil. But that isnβt true either. β
β Every minute of every day, we each be come someone new. β
β We shouldnβt fear change itself, but only who we might change into. β
β Betraying a friend - you canβt justify that. β
β Got no right to judge me. β
β This is why I have remained outside, uninvolved. So as no to have to make decisions such as these. β
β I believe has just begun. β
β Watch your tone or it will be you who will find it hard to walk. β
β Sometimes you have to look the truth right in the eye. β
β You haveβ¦ a very honest look. β
β Symbols are more resilient than you think. β
β No matter what happensβ¦ you must trust me. β
β Either you let yourself be fooled like children, or you were guided by opportunism. Β β
β Violent delights with violent ends. β
β He once told me anything of value is only a flag blowing in the wind. And wind is fear. β
β If planting bombs is not enough, what do you do? You become the bomb. β
β Fate is a fickle mistress, isnβt she? β
β You betrayed yourself. β
β Weβre a tangled web, you and me. β
β What is perfect requires no change. β
β I did not come with empty hands. We must speak about your options. β
β Got no idea how sweet it is to be free. β
β As I see it, they braided this wip thatβll sting 'em. β
β Just like old times. β
β No idea how this is gonna end, but let me tell ya - itβll be one loud morning. β
β We fought for beauty. Not knowinβ what was good or true, was only the beautiful that meant a damn thing to us. β
β Canβt turn back time ever - but, you can always start over. β
β Their generation - made of a different mettle. β
β Just promise me one thing, asshole. That you wonβt forget me. β
β Self-confidence worthy of a legend. Or of someone risking it all. β
β I sense you know what itβs like to lose everything. To fight for one last breath. I see it in you. β
β I never forget a promise. β
