It is the same voice actor Gavin Drea. It's just that corporate V had a completely different life and Nomad V so, therefore, he should speak differently.

Yeah I just don't hear the difference maybe cos I'm not a native speaker :/
Jackie V relation also reminds me a lot of the Grey warden and Duncan from DAO. Both are the only recurring figures in all origins, he saves you and helps you become a Solo and just like Duncan the prologue ends when he dies

Is that a certainty?

I mean he clearly died in the 2018 trailer and he also makes this comment about being bulletproof in the recent trailer, so as far as we know he will die, but who knows maybe there is some way to save him. Even if he survives Johnny takes over his role as your best buddy after the prologue.

The most is I can see is that *maybe* Jackie can survive the heist with the right choices but then immediately gets his head blown off when you do the meetup at the hotel. The previews and trailer indicate a pretty different relationship with him each origin and I don't see them accounting for that choice through the entire game.

Unfortunate if so. He seems like a much more likeable and interesting character than Silverhand.

(By which I mean he's alright and Silverhand comes across as a petulant, contrarian manchild.)

Yeah, I was thinking exactly this too.

If I didn''t know about Johnny Silverhand having the second most voice acting, I wouldn't have ruled out Jackie surviving, but I think there is no way the player could have two mentor figures at the same time.

What difference would this make unless there will be PC full monty in the unmodded game? Why not an option for pubic hair color and curliness too if it's all in the minds of players.

But... there is an option for pubic hair customisation.

Some info for our :codexisforindividualswithgenderidentityissues:members
According to Kotaku, the game actually has actually only has 2 genders so only he and she pronouns which are tied to your voice despite saying other things last year. So either they are more based than we thought or they simply realised that they can't get Keanu Reeves to rerecord his lines. Also, fun fact romance options are tied to your genitalia not your gender/voice. You can probably imagine some people have strong opinions about this on the internet.

That's the thing though, the only thing CDPR mentioned was that the choice of gender wasn't tied to the body anymore. They didn't say shit about anything else - that was all in shittakus head - the "no genders", "they" pronouns and "non-binary", a fantasy they masturbated to. God I hate these autistic "journalist" faggots and their twitter simps.

No lesbo stuff? Thousands of people are dissapointed!
No, it means when it comes to sexuality, your genitalia is the deciding factor. You can look like a dude, sounds like a dude, but as long as you don't have a penis the NPC will consider you a female, so you can date a straight male, or a lesbian.

They might still call you Mr V though, since that is decided by the voice type you choose instead of genitalia.

Come to think of it, it's a huge mess. It's going to cause a lot of trouble for them when a lesbian NPC starts to date a "Mr V".

So you're saying the NPCs assume the player's gender? I sense a shitstorm coming...

Is it offensive these days to look if someone has a bulge or not?

Yeah, I think pretty soon it will bite them in the ass, when the woke brigade raises hell on twatter.

I bet they will just recon the whole NPCs have different sexuality thing and make every romance playersexual.

Sasko explicitly said they decided not to do that.
CDPR said a lot of shit that turned out to be false in the past. They'll bend the knee if it comes to that, like the rest of this cucked industry.

It's already starting to make waves on reddit btw, from there it will go to all the usual suspects like resetera.

This would mean having to make two versions for each sex scene they won't do that.

I hope they won't of course. But well... considering everything happening lately, who knows.

there's currently no way to, say, make a character with traditionally feminine features that uses masculine pronouns or vice versa

There are actually living breathing human beings that think that would be in any way a sensible use of development resources. How the fuck does someone end up like that?
