Changes

Changes is a main job in.

Walkthrough
As long as the ending path ends with V connecting into Mikoshi (hence this excludes the Arasaka path), the player will be presented with this mission.

Changes can start in one of two ways, which depends on the choice the player makes regarding Jackie's body after The Heist. However, the mission will open up in similar fashion; V will be presented with a vision of them going to the ninth floor behind Misty's shop, as is what happened during the third half of Nocturne Op55N1.


 * If V took Jackie's body to Viktor Vektor after thus resulting in Arasaka stealing his engram, V will be given one last chance to talk to him.
 * If V took Jackie's body to Mama Welles or if the body was left in the Delamain they escaped on, upon exiting into the roof, V sees Jackie's necklace and takes it as the world around them fades away.

Either way, this will lead to the cyberspace inside Mikoshi. Alt Cunningham will recite a poem (both listed below) as V walks towards the beam of light, taking them into another section of cyberspace. After doing so, V will have a talk.


 * If the mission prior to this is Belly of the Beast or (Don't Fear) The Reaper, V will talk to Johnny Silverhand.
 * If the previous mission was Knockin' on Heaven's Door, the opposite will happen, as Johnny by that point had taken control of V's body.

The conversation soon shifts into a shocking realization for V; with Alt having separated their and Johnny's psyches throughout the raid on Arasaka Tower, the extended exposure to Johnny's construct has irreparably damaged their body. Alt gives them a choice; return to their body with six months to live, or let Johnny keep their body.

What follows after Changes if V returns to their body depends on the previous mission. If the previous mission was (Don't Fear) The Reaper or Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Changes will always lead to Path of Glory. If the previous mission was Belly of the Beast, the next mission will be All Along the Watchtower.

If Changes ends with Johnny keeping their body, the mission will always lead to New Dawn Fades, disregarding the previous mission and any ending path.
