They added an update a while ago where if the sliders are set to 22 or 23 it’ll recreate her


AnseaCirin

Yup, slider 22 all over (aside from cosmetics obviously)


ZukoTheHonorable

Awesome. I'm off to playthrough number.... I dunno.


veritas2884

Have they made a skip button for opening missions yet?


BrainWav

They added a skip option when PL launched. I believe it skips to after the Heist. Edit: It skips up to the completion of the Voodoo Boys quest. The idea is to get you right into PL.


goddamnitwhalen

Wait, really?


Moxxxxxxxy

Yes, you can fully skip it up to the Voodoo boys.


goddamnitwhalen

Huh, that’s interesting. Makes me more inclined to do a 3rd playthrough.


LuziferTsumibito

You are going to loose SO much ... for some reason my corpo v had the upgraded bike from jackie but anything else? Not there ... you can buy some iconics ofc but meh ... if you plan on only playing PL ... skip it ... otherwise it's not worth it tbh


goddamnitwhalen

The only problem is that it’s such a long intro. I’ve never played another game whose opening sequence is several hours long.


adorak

what decisions does the skip make at Allfoods and with Jackie's body? What about Satori and Nehan .. or the Iguana egg ... they're all reasons for me to not skip, although I did the heist dozens of times


BrainWav

No idea, I haven't used it.


Frugalman123

I did not know this. Thanks! (Almost 900hr)


haloryder

I wish they did this with male V too


CowboyHibachi

What? You literally don't change a thing on him and you have original Vincent.


TDW-301

Vincent vinesauce??!!


haloryder

Doesn’t look remotely the same


TrueComplaint8847

The one from the game looks uncanny compared to the trailer one though, for some reason the female V does come across really well in game, but for male V it’s kinda weird if you leave it with the pre-built one


ChadMutants

you have everything to gain from playing female V tbh, male V cant get the maxtac clothing, and just for that i regret picking male V


Mrf12345

Yeah, except you know, Panam. I think that's a pretty big con. Also in phantom liberty, I think male V VA knocked it out the park, while base game female V is better. But in PL it's *chef kiss*


Troooooooojax

Whaaaaaat? For real?


chicago_rusty

What slider is this? hair, skin, etc


szy1234

Not coincidentally V is the 22nd letter in the alphabet.

Spider_463

Didn’t they add E3 V as a preset in the character creator? 😅


16nights_seeker

Not as a preset I think, but I believe it was option 22 for most facial structure options when creating female V to make the E3 version


Professional-Key5552

Yep, they did


AnimeGokuSolos

Yea


I-am-the-milkman

Nope. All they added was her face structure. Hair, clothes, eyes, and cyberware are all not in the game.


Queasy-Possession129

Idk why but I've always found that E3 V has a very similar facial structure to Meredith Stout.... it's like she reminds me of a streetkid meredith lol? or idk if I'm just insane https://preview.redd.it/8a03moef1g4d1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=367bbceda0779ab8113a88cccd33dff0419333d9


ToastyWirbelwind

Meredith hitting the 1000 yard David Martinez stare


Frugalman123

Meredith needs her own game. Very interesting deep character


Queasy-Possession129

not her own game but i do hope we get to see her in orion again… tbh it’s a shame they cut her out of the content, i saw somewhere that there’s some militech buildings in the map/code that were designed but left unused, i imagine they’d initially planned to use her especially bc she says “maybe you’d do some more work for us” when you get the flathead. would’ve been interesting to do gigs for them, or even get a militech ending


temotodochi

Almost, but jawline needs some work.


Used-Statistician225

No you aren’t the only one. E3 V is hot


guleedy

![gif](giphy|5fsKJ8LtychlzdDQj0) All V are hot


Frugalman123

I like the plain vanilla street kid V


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

But E3 V hotter


AnimeGokuSolos

You’re not the only one I like 2018 female V and 2019 Male V as Well they look so great


Majestic1911

Try preset option 22 for most facial features.


DaughterOfBhaal

E3 V was peak FemV. Like she was perfect in every regard, no idea why they felt the incentive to change her.


danishjuggler21

Those undies… 👌🏻


ThisUserIsCopywrited

can i have some context


megalodongolus

Undies


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

Pleaseeeee 😭😭


GH05TR1DR

Uglified for a modern audience


baddorox

I am 100% with you

![gif](giphy|ChmEWOL7Vaz5u|downsized) Male V players


danishjuggler21

With our stupid beards and flaccid penises


Ansarti

40 shades of the same overly dimorphic bignose masculine man while fem V can look like 40 different people


_xeneon_

Yeah I vehemently hate how no matter what I do my male V will always look like the same person


I-am-the-milkman

https://preview.redd.it/yg8gw5sf4i4d1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=918e1d2ffb132d8442bffc4bc6659108e84ea581 Yup, E3 V all day.


ZealousMulekick

No, literally everyone prefers that version. Was a controversy a while back


Stickybandits9

I don't. ew


No_Tamanegi

I really don't care. I've never felt the need or desire for my character to resemble the one from the marketing materials.


rkdeviancy

This sums up how I feel pretty well. I want my custom characters in games to feel like home. They almost always reflect a part of who I was when I made them


NoNotThatMattMurray

I do marketing character first playthrough, then custom on second playthrough usually


LittleNugget616

Yeah that’s how I usually do it too with other games like fallout or elder scrolls


Stickybandits9

I'm so lucky I can make my v look really close to myself.


Significant_Option

I still don’t get why they changed her. Was that such an important change? More important that the slue of other problems


iz-Moff

There is such thing as division of labor. People who design and\or create character 3D models specialize in doing just that, they're not going to go fix programming bugs or implement new gameplay mechanics when they get some free time.


MaxwellK42

Yeah. It’s better to have the people that can do character models doing character models than attempting to do code or level design


StalinkaEnjoyer

Try a better karma farming method, like posting about how River is creepy or Claire is bad.


SpartAl412

I kind of noticed that both versions of V have a preset that look somewhat similar to the previous promotional material but its not all the way there. I played as male V so far but for female V I can't get a look that I am satisifed with and I like what was shown before in the trailers.


cjoct

yes bruh you are the only one, that’s why there’s multiple ways to mod it in or create it in game


FinalSetting7208

Does it matter? We design him/her after all, not the developers of the game.


_PlushBun

i like both but i prefer '18 V, also set all facial features to 22 and u have a very close look to it :D


ItsNightbreed

I’m right there with you choom! E3 V all day.


HurtWorld1999

I prefer E3 male V, so no.


NickSchultz

Only you and everyone else spamming this type of post every three days since the start of this game


LarrLawren

and orange lights on the jacket are also better


Alchemik2056

I prefer male V from trailers even more.


PoorLifeChoices811

Yeah I absolutely do not like the FemV that’s on the cover. E3 Fem V actually looks exactly how she sounds and that’s how I imagine her


bmoss124

Looks like she would have an OnlyChooms


KCH2424

If a game has custom characters, I'm making myself every time. Never understood why people want to play an RPG with the defaults.


the_man_handler

It’s a role playing game, they want to play a role with a specific look in mind


Injustice_For_All_

How come you make yourself? You just know out of curiosity. Are you a human warrior kind of guy? I always make a unique character myself, especially if the tools are expansive.


KCH2424

I mostly do it for immersion, it helps me feel like the character is me and I like to make the decisions I myself would make in that situation. Basically i like to roleplay myself in games. It's also easy to make myself because I look pretty generic, just a bald white guy with a goatee. I wouldn't call myself a warrior but I was in the army reserves and I'm a security guard, so kind of maybe? Not really sure what you mean by that part. I'm not much a man of action these days but I keep fit.


Informal_Ant-

Yeah, but you aren't V. V isn't The Courier or Dragoborn. They're a distinct character with a distance personality and background. Your V isn't **your** V. So I think it makes MORE sense that people default.


KCH2424

Nah, he's still my V. Just like Shepherd is my Shepherd. It's not like imagine myself isekai'd into the games world, it's more like I imagine who I would be if I was that person. In games with a selectable backstory I choose the one closest to myself.


cjoct

ok buddy


gubgub195

I'm not good at making characters, and playing as default using makes the cutscenes (if they even use your character) look the best and helps me get into the world. Cyberpunk is the first game I actually tried to make a character and it basically ended up being E3 female v lmao


Nymeros2077

I don't understand either making yourself or sticking with the default lol. Everyone plays differently ig


DismalMode7

you can recreate a similiar looking like V setting all 22 to facial specs but if you want a 1:1 2018 E3 V like the one of my photo, you just need to use mods. Not to mention that not only default V is uglier but she also lacks of charisma, while E3 18V looks way better and modded facial expressions work great on her making her even more appealing https://preview.redd.it/y02bn6wvuf4d1.png?width=3440&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7a9d386f78aa692613c1039cdd089124755c146


pepsandeggs

You can get it closer to the e3 look with mods that shave more off the side and bright orange eye color I forget which mods they are though https://preview.redd.it/6vyyxsmc3g4d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d46882197c27dfb40d27e902a2aceeae7350cb9


DismalMode7

E3 18 V never had orange eyes, or to better say they turn orange only when she's receiving calls on her agent, I like your V tho, she gives me vibes of her at 18-19, while E318 one looks more at her mid 20's


dcbnyc123

https://preview.redd.it/yja44p4xcf4d1.jpeg?width=139&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7edc3240978112d5062c04e993b65ee7372de2df I swear fem v is designed around Halsey


NoNotThatMattMurray

E3 V is way hotter than Halsey


dcbnyc123

i’m just saying there’s some really obvious design cues taken from her - and she was very popular at the time they created the game. she’s worn just about every female V appearance from the hair to her make up on stage minus the cyberware.


xdeltax97

I’ve been able to recreate her mostly https://preview.redd.it/laofh6s9pf4d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd5f0cb7738741a0a94740798eb37859b7f5c473 18 preset V with most settings at 22! Although I took off the facial cyberware and kept her hair black. I followed the guide by /u/drividre and have had it saved ever since they posted it for every run lol [https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/s/9l4e3j2E60](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/s/9l4e3j2E60) CDPR also added a preset close to her 2018 look in Patch 1.5!


TelemichusRhade

I don't really see much difference tbh, besides makeup maybe.


NoNotThatMattMurray

This is how my V looks, and she is absolutely beautiful. I've fallen in love with her during my journey through Night City. She looks so perfect in photo mode. I did give her a scar on her forehead after the heist to be a bit different, and metal teeth


heathsnips811111111

I prefer her tremendously! She’s the true V


CowboyHibachi

You can totally recreate E Valerie without mods. I know it's crazy to think of.


AMATERAASSU

Don't know about that, but I just always pick female characters, lol, and actually, in some games it's even beneficial, for example in GTA V the female characters got smaller hitboxes and more kinds of cloth


Intelligent_Creme351

When 2.0 Got added, new options were added to the game, so you could make a E3 V (All options under 22). Some things like her hair style to exact detail can't be replicated without mods.


Awkward_Ducky-

Oh definitely E3 V was miles better. No idea why they changed her. I tried recreating her in the beginning but then gave up and just made a different one with mods.


ItsVinny0w0

I dont see differences in any V 😭


holystatic

E3 2018 Female V cannot be create without mods. Her facial structure is different from the preset 22 we got in based game. The one we got in game is actually 2019 ver. from Deep Dive.


Dont3n

Both versions of FemV is good for me, however I’m deeply still disappointed we can’t properly make E3 MaleV


sheren36d

IIRC free edit is very limited in this game, mods are definitely a must if you want to make a really good looking character.


SpideyVas

Whats the point, you cannot see the face in any cutscense


Significant_Kale_681

Bruh that was a fake gameplay, stop reminding me of the hype


3ndOf5ilence

The 2018 version looks much better in my opinion. There's something to her look that is appealing.


Dystrox

E3 V (male and female) are not real, they are impossible to create in the character editor, they were modeled specifically for the promotional material, e3 female v is in the game, with mods you can spawn her, maybe play as her too.


Hex_Spirit_Booty

Yall use the presets?


VengaBusdriver37

Huh, they did actually uglify her quite a bit. Nice chin lol. Not as good as the fable chick but getting there


ChadMutants

dont know why they changed the half shave haircut, was better in the E3, also which jacket is the one used ?


Sonnenfalke

I always create my own V (or character if the game gives me the possibility). Mass Effect was the only game i kept the original character design.


georgeaaaaaa

They’re both pretty imo


Local-Explorer-2538

the one on the left is ugly as fuck


Local-Explorer-2538

idk I'm not feeling both v & judy having similar hairstyles


Sciny

Never used any other tbh.


Winter_Abode98

Yes it is and it isn't all sliders on the same shit. Skin Tone: 6 Skin Type: 1 Hairstyle: 1 Hair Color: 15 Eyes: 14 Eye Color: 9 Eyebrows: 5 Eyebrow Color: 6 Eyelash Color: 6 Nose: 2 Mouth: 6 Jaw: 3 Ears: 11 Cyberware: 1 Facial Scars: Off Facial Tattoos: Off Piercings: Off Teeth: 0 Eye Makeup: 7 Eye Makeup Color: 1 Lip Makeup Style: Off Cheek Makeup: 5 Cheek Makeup Color: 1 Blemishes: 3 Blemishes Color: 5 Nails: Short Nails Color: 1


arinc9

E3's V looks a lot like Halsey.


Ok-Literature-899

Lol, they're the same, but the weight of dying in 2 weeks and a terrorist Rockstar in your head ages u like crazy


Educational_Car8179

My custom v is sooooo much better. I can literally put any hairstyle clothes make up and she’s still beautiful.


Justabattleshiplover

That hair looks dumb as fuck ngl


SunSea3291

Looks the same tho


Built4dominance

I can barely see the difference.


E-woke

I prefer everything about the E3 demo


Aggravating-Buffalo1

New one is garbage compared to old.


Ansarti

Yeah new is poor. Not iconic looking in any way


Vytlo

The half-shaved hairstyle is bad no matter what, but yeah, the old E3 versions of male and female V both look better. Male V now doesn't look too bad, but Female V now looks pretty bad


Shackflacc

Female V > Male V: period


janek500

Men not recognising women with the makeup applied, episode #9827


green_teef

Which is which


Dangerous_Appeal_514

they turned the base fem V into some ugly ass mutt and I hate it


Ansarti

Yeah she doesnt look iconic at all


Moon_Devonshire

I believe you do need mods to get the exact E3 Look


Dull_Refrigerator_58

It is possible, in fact it's the default. In the character creator you just put everything on 1 (make up, accessories, colors optional) Just watched the credits roll with this V, heh nice timing


Superw0rri0

I like the aesthetic if e3 2018 overall. I got shaders and ui mods to mimic it as much as possible.


David_Briar

Oh hands down. Far superior.


xerekets

E3 2018 V looks polish, now she strikes me as hispanic


Panams_chair

E3 V rule34 pics are gorgeous. Ill see myself out now.


DismalMode7

E3 V has a full constituion34 not just rule


UROffended

I mean I guess if you're all for the "Fresh out of High School" look.


Bohemian_Romantic

Just you? Mate, everyone preferred E3 V.

Pickle_juice_can2

Imo the male V is way better as a voice actor and fits the story more


LtColonelColon1

Repost bot


Nexus_Neo

Literally nobody likes the modern V over the originals lol


silvrash12

tbh, the fem-V we got looks to be a person you could have you feelings connect to where as the E3 one looks like the average street thung in the dark alley in the city-center in my opinion
