What happens if V joins Alt is that V’s consciousness is merged into Mikoshi, leading to a unique ending where V’s fate is tied to the digital world. This choice allows V to transcend their mortal body, but also means they will no longer be able to exist in the physical world of Night City.
Understanding the Consequences
When V joins Alt, they essentially give up their physical body and material existence, allowing their consciousness to persist in a digital form. This has significant implications for V’s relationships and legacy in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
