The Hunt Is Cyberpunk 2077’s Creepiest Quest

thegamer.com:

I'm nearing the end of Cyberpunk 2077's campaign for the second time. When I first played CDPR’s long-awaited RPG, I was pretty disappointed with how it turned out, so after putting about 30 hours in, I beelined it to the end. That meant that I left a bunch of good side quests on the table. I skipped the end of ‘Sinnerman.’ I missed most of Judy's questline. I'm not even sure I met Kerry?

So, this time through, I'm taking the time to do every side quest that comes my way. I'm hunting down every cyberpsycho. I'm putting points into Body so I can wail on the last boxer in ‘Beat on the Brat.’ I'm even considering responding to some of those vehicle sale texts. When I played the game back in 2020, I wanted to be able to go into every building, to find quests around every corner. But, that's not how this game works. And now that I know that in order to see the good stuff, you basically just need to do quests, the game is finally really clicking for me.

That new attitude led me to accept a quest from River Ward, the NCPD officer who shows up in Act 2 and can become a romance option. River doesn't give you much information up front, telling you he can’t discuss it over the phone. But if you decide to meet with him, he shows you a news report about police capturing a man, nicknamed Peter Pan, who they suspect was responsible for the kidnappings of several teenage boys from throughout Night City. In the video where the man gets captured, the boy who was with him is wearing shoes belonging to River's missing nephew, Randy.

Agree to help out, and River — who we eventually find out has been suspended from the force — will take you on a secretive snooping
