During the Gimme Danger mission, If you short-circuit the mech while staying stealthy and no one notices, Takemura still tells you you're truly mad, but doesn't say you cocked-up, and no reinforcements arrive. He's just impressed lol.

I’m the kind of freak who will reload a mission 20 times just to get a single line of unique dialogue for completing it in a certain way. More often than not it’s not rewarded, but this game did a pretty good job otherwise.
@Wonzling0815
In many missions, my path is basically this: Proceed through the perimeter to the objective, taking out all targets of opportunity nonlethally. Then discover the meat locker where the opposition has been cutting apart civillians, so I backtrack and take out all unconscious enemies with silenced headshots.
@BahamutBreaker
I had ZERO idea about the “WELL DONE” secret message from escaping the Arasaka compound by surfing aboard one of the VTOL’s. That is freaking hilarious. I’ve played through Cyberpunk numerous times, and tried a ton of different approaches to the Arasaka float sabotage mission. I’ve also watched hundreds of Cyberpunk videos on YouTube. Despite all that, this is the first time I learned of that “WELL DONE” message. It’s freakin’ awesome that stuff like that is included in the game.
@arkanterian4663
As somebody that only played Corpo, I somehow managed to miss the "peacefull" infiltration of the Arasaka compound... In multiple playthroughs
@BunnyOfThunder
If you avoid killing anyone at Clouds there is a bonus dialogue choice when talking to Maiko later. She wants to know why she should listen after you trashed her place and you can point out that nobody died. And she seems to respect that.
@wilemelliott
note, theres a third way to complete riders on the storm...and the Wraiths don't even know you've been there except for the one in the security room overlooking Saul...maybe. Theres an access pipe you can sneak in through on the far side to the right of where you park the van and Panam sets up. Go in through there, rescue Saul, egress the way you came in, hop in the van, they don't even know you were there.
@Honed-
i like how stelth is more like a puzzle for the main story, and then guns blazing is a high adrinlin shoot em up. both really fun to do/try.
@zenithstudio6819
I just unconsciously did a lot of side jobs and gigs with stealth and suddenly I was 1.5 million eddies richer
@LoneWolf20213
I like when games give you differnet sinarios for stealth vs guns blazing, makes gameplay that much more valuable
@RoballTV
I liked the one where Jackies old gang friend (ex-boss?) becomes your target. You can meet him at Jackies funeral (if you haven't targeted him before then). He's clearly a (semi)principled criminal, but if you stealth your way to him, you can also learn about the hit on him and his backstory, which is a tragic Romeo & Juliet type deal. I tend to let him live.
@digitallemonz6395
if you confront Woodman via the stealth path during the Clouds mission AFTER doing a certain gig and taking out a certain tiger claw named Juntaro you will get special dialogue with Woodman that will make him gravely afraid of you and he will willingly tell you where Evelyn was sent. It's an awesome detail that merges a gig with a story mission and after you complete the mission with this method you will hear from time to time Tiger Claws' on the street talking about V getting rid of Juntaro and making Woodman piss himself. I've not seen anyone else complete the mission with this method other than me lol
@the-dark-side.
There's also a similar dialogue choice that changes with Maiko if you complete the whole thing stealthily but still take everyone out without killing them. You can still talk to Woodman and leave without violence if you want. But when Maiko confronts you in the first meeting with judy. She tries to call you out for it. You say something like "i did what I had to without anyone ending up in garbage bag."
@stuffmcstuff399
The problem i have is I always start out tying to be stealthy but always end up like Arnie in Terminator.
@Testperson001
I loved to discover that you could corpo yourself into the arasaka compound. I wish there were more missions like this. Only thing I dislike is that, even if you go in that way, takamura decides to open the roof and everyone suddenly aggros you too.
@JimLeonard
Another fantastic analysis. I had no idea some of these options were available. It's surprising just how much work went into the game that most people will never realize.
@RageCreati0n
I typically like to go in without killing anyone, but I’ve always made exceptions for scavengers and Maelstrom
@grichard1585
at 14:31 The Wraith compound has a tunnel on the right side that leads directly to Sal, but you need to be at a certain level to open the grate. I always play Stealth because it's more challenging than guns-blazing. Plus, you're forced to slow down and actually experience your surroundings. You see every little detail of the game. I really admire your love of this game btw.
@firstswordcorvus7368
The prologue mission with Jackie is possible to do completely stealth, just crawl over to his hiding spot first. And you and Jackie clear the first room Splinter Cell style. Then take the crawl space suggested by T-Bug and short circuit the light by the guy with the minigun and you can stealth kill him too. And Jackie will say that it's not his style, but still nova
