The Important Choice in the Voodoo Boys Questline in Cyberpunk 2077
If you want to start the Phantom Liberty expansion in Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll need to complete the Voodoo Boys’ questline. This questline presents a crucial decision that players shouldn’t overlook.
The Voodoo Boys will assign you the task of finding a Netwatch agent who has been targeting their gang. However, when you locate the agent, Bryce Mosley, he reveals that the Voodoo Boys are using you as a disposable agent. Now you must choose between siding with the Voodoo Boys or Netwatch, but can you trust Mosley’s words?
What’s the Best Choice in “I Walk The Line”?
The best choice is to side with Netwatch, as it benefits both V and the world. Mosley’s warning is proven to be true when the Voodoo Boys attempt to remotely kill you after you connect to his system. While Netwatch may not be entirely trustworthy, the Voodoo Boys consider you expendable and are willing to kill you for accepting their job.
Additionally, if you choose to connect to Mosley’s system, the Voodoo Boys will eliminate all Netwatch agents, leaving the Net without oversight. This is a significant problem because the Blackwall, a barrier that separates the usable Net from lawless AI-infested territory, is maintained only by Netwatch. Without them, unfettered AI poses a threat that could lead to the end of society as we know it.
The Voodoo Boys believe that breaking through the Blackwall is necessary, but this means aligning with rogue AIs and potentially triggering an AI-powered apocalypse. By trusting Netwatch, you can prevent this catastrophe.
Trusting the Corporations for the Greater Good
While it may be tempting to side with the Voodoo Boys, it’s best to trust Netwatch in this instance. The concept of the Blackwall and rogue AI is further explored in the Phantom Liberty expansion, indicating a potential direction for future sequels. For now, it’s wiser to view the Voodoo Boys as a source of hidden treasure rather than a reliable ally.
