“Perhaps two male characters will be enough” - this is probably what the developers thought Cyberpunkwhen prescribed romantic lines in Game. Well, given the fact that one of the potential partners is gay, the female gamer simply does not have a choice in looking for a couple (unless, of course, she is interested in same-sex relationships).
Special thanks Marie for help in localization and addition of the guide in the comments.
You can meet the guy during the passage of a secondary quest in Heywood, when he will investigate the kidnapping case. You can help the copto then seduce and start a romantic relationship. However, this will not be easy to do, because first you have to win the trust of the guardian of the law.
How to get Ward interested?
An affair with River is somewhat reminiscent of a ruler Panam Palmer - the player will simply have to complete tasks from a companion, as well as agree with his thoughts in all dialogues.
When phrases implying flirting appear, you should definitely choose them, since this increase the chances of a future relationship. So you need to do until the dialogue appears, marked with a kiss icon. However, if you are interested in a more detailed analysis of the novel, below are all the quests from River Ward, recorded in chronological order.
"Guardians of the Chaos"
"Guardians of the Chaos" - the first task given by River Ward immediately after completing the mission "Passenger". It all starts with the fact that a girl named Elizabeth calls the gamer and offers to do a side job.
Once the quest has been started, it can be tracked using the journal. Complete the mission and don't worry about the dialogue options - they won't affect the development of your relationship with Ward in the future.
"hunting the hunter"
Quest "hunting the hunter" activates approximately 24 hours after the passage of the previous one. Like last time, V will get a phone call, however, now River himself will be on the other end of the line. After the conversation must be read carefully text message, which will be sent by a cop.
Help: To find the correct office during the mission, be near the waiting room, which is connected to the central office.
After V is caught by Dr. Packard, you should tell her the following: "I want to see for myself." Also, during a dialogue with Johnny, you need to answer that everything is in order with River. Well, during the trip, you can choose any answer, for example: "Charge this beer to my account" (does not affect the further development of relations).
As soon as the main character arrives at the trailer park, she will have to properly study the environment in order to find Randy - for this, look for clues on the floor and other objects:
- posters in the room;
- locked cabinet (the key is on the shelf with the orange table);
- locked box (immediately to the right after entering);
- Randy's laptop.
After gaining access to the computer, you need to view all the files and folders that are stored on it, and then go to the "Network" tab, click on the red picture on the left, select the website tab, and then watch the video from the "Files" section.
If you examine the entire contents of the laptop, you will find out that Randy is on a farm called "Edgwood". However, if something is screwed up, then saving the boy will not work, and River will not open access to the next task. So makes more sense survive.
Help: after entering the barn, you need to climb the stairs on the left, and then just go past the towers - this will allow you to immediately get to the roof.
After saving Randy, in a conversation with Ward, you should definitely choose a dialogue in which Vee admits that she has romantic feelings for the cop. If there is no such option, it means that you most likely missed the opportunity to flirt with a guy. Then it remains only to agree to complete another quest for River, saying that he can count on you. After that, the task is considered completed.
"Boy with a Gun"
We wait a few gaming days or continue to complete missions. Soon, River will send a text message saying that he needs V's help again. It is worth flirting with the guy a little, and then answer: "See you later". Then it remains only to wait for a call from the cop and go to task "Boy with a gun", which is displayed on the minimap. In fact, this is a regular date, during which you can get close to Ward.
After that, the heroes decide to retire. However, for gamers who have decided to change their mind about starting an affair with a cop, there will be an opportunity to abandon this idea once and for all. The morning after the date, Ward will send a message to Vee - worth answering that you are happy to be with him. After this, the relationship between River and the main character reaches its climax, and the novel is considered completed.
Despite the fact that River Ward is the only straight man available for a relationship, the affair with him cannot be called boring or mediocre. The developers did a good job, coming up with some interesting missions and a bunch of dialogues. The only pity is that the game seems to force the female gamer, who is only interested in men, to build a relationship with Ward. However, this moment can fix free DLCwhich is scheduled for release in January 2021.

Strange. I play as an ordinary man, with a male voice and a member. Finished an affair with Panam, but with this cop there was also a dialogue option with a kiss. And with Kerry, there were options. I actually thought Ward was gay or bi.
Yes, there is an option with a kiss, but River will simply refuse the main character, on which they decide to just remain friends.
if you had pressed kiss he would have pushed you away and told you to get lost.
On the contrary, I was upset. I really like him, but the line with him is so short! A couple of dates and that's it. This is not what I expected from 8 years of work on the game .. do you think there is a chance that the developers will add quests in the free DLC?
it is unlikely that the old ones will be expanded. But they may well add new characters with whom it will be possible to establish relationships. I guess so 🙂
Husband plays as V-man and there was a line with Rivera kissing. The voice of a man, the genitals were not chosen, maybe that's why?
uhhh, interesting. They say that there are a lot of bugs in relationships now because of certain choices when creating a character. But the developers have enough more serious problems, so the relationship is not yet fixed
There will be a scene where River is like, what are you doing, and V is confused
Yes exactly. I already understood this when I went through the quests for Panama. There are also hinting lines, but in the end she rejects, so I understood how people figured out who is bi, who is gay. The game gives you a chance to find out for yourself if you haven't read the guides.
God, tell me where to get this first quest “I fought the law” I can’t find it anywhere, or it will appear after a certain plot point, I haven’t seen it everywhere yet (
Have you completed the mission "passenger"?
Due to difficulties with adapting quests/items, there may be inaccuracies in translations so far.
No, it seems there was no such quest either, but where can I get it?
You go through the main quest with panamas, in act 2 you take a mission from the beast, and after the passenger they call you and give you the quest guards, this is it
Thanks a lot )
At the expense of pure hetero, then this is in question. If you choose a male voice and a female body (even with a member), then he will still want to kiss you on the water tower. Since you don’t see yourself, otherwise you hear it, it looks very gay ... At the same time, Panam and Judy are denied a relationship.
Oh, how .... it turns out interesting. Well, obviously Ward was not without bugs
Um, if we play as a man, we only have Panam and gay Kerry to choose from ...
Why is it so different for so many. It is possible that this is a bug ... this question was raised on the English-language forums
Tell me, what kind of quest is this, “Life in a dream, I am war”? What is it about?
So far, this quest is not on the Russian-language Wiki of the game, but you can look in English and drive it into the translator:
https://cyberpunk2077.wiki.fextralife.com/Life+During+Wartime
There are already names in Russian, and judging by the description in the Russian version, this quest is called a passenger.
checked, you are absolutely right. In our localization, the mission is called "Passenger". Thank you for the correction, I have corrected the article 🙂
Even after saving Randy (hunting the hunter), there is no flirting phrase, there is a dialogue purely about the mission, and there he needs help to decide on one problem, but he still managed to start a romance. and "on the river" is a boy with a gun
Thank you for the addition that helped clarify the localization of quests. I changed the names and made a postscript at the beginning of the guide with your nickname and our gratitude 🙂
Glad to help, if anything else pops up, I'll write)
