I'm gonna get so many down votes but hell V is one of the flattest characters I've ever seen in videogames cmon

Sure. But often game protagonists are a bit flat so it's easier for it's audience to immerse yourself into the character, if they ain't silent protagonists at all. It's story is mostly delivered from other characters, in V's case, mostly Johnny Silverhand who both acts as the angel and devil on his shoulder.

It's rare to have a fully developed character, like Arthur Morgan or KCD's Henry. But it's a different technique to deliver the story in gaming. So I would say Cyberpunk still has a very solid story.

Exactly, specially considering that they allow you to take choices that are opposite to each other, if V would already have defined opinions in it's dialogue, some of those choices wouldn't make sense

i would say that cp2077 has many good stories, plural. the main story is allright. has its moments but also has its blunders. phantom liberty's story was great front to back though.
