6 Characters You Didn’t Know You Could Save In Cyberpunk 2077

screenrant.com:

is a game full of danger, from psychotic cyborgs to cutthroat corporations. Many well-meaning and likable characters are destined to die throughout the course of its story, including the main character right at the start. Depending on the player's choices, many fan-favorites may or may not make it out alive.

While most of these choices are made rather obvious during the game's quests, others are a little more hidden or difficult to figure out. It's easy for players to accidentally miss an opportunity to save an ally if they aren't careful. These six characters aren't easy to save, but it can be done if players perform certain actions to keep them alive.

"The Beast In Me" is a quest line that follows Claire, a bartender from the Afterlife, as she and V compete in street racing competitions around Night City. While racing with Claire, V will eventually learn that her husband, Dale, died during one of these races the year prior, apparently intentionally by a rival named Sampson. Claire wants revenge, and will ask V to help her kill Sampson during the final race. V can agree or refuse, but either way, the chance will present itself during the race to leave the course and pursue Sampson to take his life.

Cyberpunk 2077 lets you drive through Night City in tons of different vehicles. A lot of them are pricey, but there are plenty of free cars to find.

The moral quandary here is that, as it turns out, Sampson didn't intentionally kill Dale; rather, Dale died trying to pass Sampson, a tragic but common occurrence during these races. Claire even admits to having killed people during the competitions herself. As such, some players may choose not to help Claire at all, instead continuing on with the race even after Sampson's car is run off the road. Doing so spares the racer's life, but will cause Claire to become hostile towards V, and will berate them whenever they enter the Afterlife.
