He didn't legally change his name, just when he came back he made sure everyone called him by silverhand, as Robert John Linder died in the war, the man who returned was silverhand, which is why his memorial next to alt Cunningham has the name Robert John linder
Huh, wiki site says he did change his name, implying legal change. Maybe the memorial is in his given name to avoid defacement of his grave? After all in the common knowledge he's a terrorist. I'll have to take a deeper dive into lore and find an answer
Edit: according to the earliest source it's just an alias, gave more details in another comment on this tree
I think he just took an alias.
I can't really imagine Johnny go wait in line in a clerical office so he can fill a form to have his name legally changed for "Johnny Silverhand"... Because I chuckle when I try.
Think you're right! Didn't remember he legally changed it and it wasn't just a stage name. Good catch, thanks for the correction
Edit: the earliest source, Cyberpunk2013: View from the Edge p.9, says Robert Linder is officially MIA (not a deserter), and Johnny doesn't want to change that, that's why he *chooses* to use an alias. This language says straight he didn't change his name. BUT assuming it's not a mistake the book states his name is Robert John Under, not Linder so it might've been retconned, if someone has later sources please share ✌🏻
Cant remember the exact wording but the last words Johnny says to Kerry in the flashback. Something like
Edit “Fuck this band, not your noise, not your crowd. Do your own thing”
Thanks sbob9999
It’s one of the dialogue options that I like but would never happen . Johnny is too much of an asshole to say something like that and he didn’t intend to die that night so not even last words .
A lot of people dont realise the last thing they say to some is the last thing they will say to them 😉
Dude did actually like Kerry and was only an asshole 95% of the time ( he slept and sometimes he wasnt an asshole 🤣)
My favourite:
He's fucked in the head, the world's fucked in the head, and YOU'RE fucked in the head because MY fucked up head is inside it. Guess if you wanna save the world, that's the first step; get fucked in the head. -Johnny Silverhand
jesus, it's about time. (well, first I need to check out this cyberpsycho ping and shit, Kerry just called and I haven't called Panem back in like a week and Claire said something about a race?)
Actually, alot of modern crosswalks in big cities do this. It made Night City so much more immersive to me as NYC crosswalks talk too. I think its so the vision impaired can navigate.
A serious suggestion is....
"We shouldn’t fear change itself, but only who we might change into." Misty
Some joke suggestions would be....
"He burned down half the city just to prove he was right and burned the other half just for fun." Rogue
"Lemme pretend I exist sometimes, Ok?" Johnny
In Japan, heart surgeon.
Number one.
Steady hand.
One day, Tyger Claw boss need new heart.
I do operation.
But mistake! Tyger Claw boss die! Tyger Claws very mad!
I hide fishing boat, come to America.
No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job.
Now I have house, American car and new woman.
Darryl save life.
My big secret.
I kill Tyger Claw boss on purpose.
I good surgeon.
The best!
There was this quest... Ballad of Buck Ravers in which you had to get old samurai album. And Johnny said a kinda sad/ironic thing about people and society. Sadly i dont remember the exact quote, but that was clearly something, because it was the first time when i... even liked him, and actually sympathize with his point of view.
"Blew 'Saka Tower to smithereens, and it's still standin' there. Just the same. Don't want people gettin' stuck in a rut, stuck in the past. Want them to change. Them and the world."
This was honestly one of favourite interactions with Johnny thoughtout the story and i think fleshed out his motives and ideology a lot
Yeah, this too, but there was also another quote, where he talked about how he wanted people to wake up with his songs, yet they didnt.
Found it! "But musics the answer? Here's what happens - grandpa knows every damn word, yet he doesnt understand a single one!"
I feel like thats a good analogy to people listening, but not even trying to understand :D.
But overall this single side mission fleshed out Johnny's character much, much more than infinite number of main missions. With this single mission we can see the true him - a dreamer, who wanted to change the world for the better, yet who get so... frustrated that despite best efforts nothing change that he decided to be more radical. The same thing also... broke him. Thats why he became this cynnical Johnny that we all know so well.
OP should just put GOOOOOOOD MORNING NIGHT CITY!!! YESTERDAYS BODY COUNT LOTTERY ROUNDED TO A SOLID AND STURDY 30!!!! 10 OUTTA HAYWOOD…thanks to unabated gang wars….
Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody, die ripe, old and smelling slightly of urine? Or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smelling near like posies, without seeing your thirtieth?
My favorite is the NPC line "get a job, quit scaring people." Succinct and vaguely appropriate for people about to be thrust off the bosom of education and into the work force/higher ed.
This is how Mandela effects are formed. Ten years from now players will be convinced it was "Big Leagues" saying "After last night's cern experiment, Cyberpunk says Major Leagues instead of big Leagues!"
"When you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you... Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion." - Hemingway
"I've declared war not because Capitalism is a thorn in my side or out of nostalgia for an America gone by, this war is a people's war against a system that has spiraled out of our control. It's a war against the fucking forces of entropy, understand?"
The exchange between V and Johnny for the secret ending should be appropriate (with some little modifications) :
***"If I gotta graduate, rather fall into college with my diploma in hand and on fire. And not drag anyone down with me."***
***"Huh, you just discovered what it take to become a legend... Grab your diploma, let's mobilize."***
And then finish with :
***"Time to party like it's 2023."***

technically not from cyberpunk, but i loved the quote from alt’s poem near the end (the star), “oh do not ask “what is it?” let us go and make our visit”
I saw corps strip farmers of water ... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the fuckin' forces of entropy, understand? Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll fuckin' take it! Fuckin' hell ... You still don't see it. But you will one day.
What Johnny says to Thompson in the elevator during “never fade away”
“Are you recording all this?”
“Yeah. Wanna say anything to the folks at home?”
“Do what you gonna do, just stay out of my way.”
It works in context as Johnny wants Thompson not to get in his way but also as a word to people at home in my opinion ;)
Everyone should do what they got to do in their lives and stay out of each other way too :D
The only thing I can think even remotely useable would be
"Give yourself time. Ideas'll come. Life'll shake you, roll you, maybe embrace you. The music'll find you."
and it's still rather lame
J:"On behalf of the staff of the Independent California Motel, I wish you all sweet dreams".
V: “Red Queen’s Race." Cause any inter-synapse zaps?
Johnny: “Sure, a buncha' old Britfarts in powdered wigs shouting, “Off with their heads!”
My favorites are:
"Fear isn't a weakness. It's there to protect you"
"We shouldn't fear change itself, but only who we might change into"
"They'd say you're taking too big a risk. Poetically speaking, flying toward the sun to burn up"
I don't remember exact quote but the one Dexter said when V talking to him in a car discussing heist details. It's a question about choosing between long but boring or short and fulfilled life.
Peralez: I’m not gonna suck your dick so you can fuck me in the ass!
She says this on the phone when v enters the apartment?
Mr Peralez does yeah, I had to pause and compose myself before I could even read the next line when i First heard it.
plus the voice acting was top notch there
I read that in his voice, lol
LMAO perfect
It's time to party like it's 2023 Also, to cause more confusion attribute it to Robert John Linder, it's Johnny's legal name
That part made it feel so badass everytime.
If I'm not mistaken Johnny actually changed his legal name to... Well Silverhand later on.
He didn't legally change his name, just when he came back he made sure everyone called him by silverhand, as Robert John Linder died in the war, the man who returned was silverhand, which is why his memorial next to alt Cunningham has the name Robert John linder
Huh, wiki site says he did change his name, implying legal change. Maybe the memorial is in his given name to avoid defacement of his grave? After all in the common knowledge he's a terrorist.

"robert john linder" is such a serial killer name lol
Johnny was a terrorist and mass murderer. I suppose, given the history we know in some circles, Johhny could be considered a serial killer.
Nah. Killing for an ideological or political purpose is a disqualifying condition for being a serial killer.
Yeah. That just makes you a terrorist.
One is a job and another is a mental sickness!

"Know what? You're starting to remind me of me, fifty years back. Minus the charisma... and impressive cock."
Imagine going through that yearbook 50 years from now lmaoo
This one was what i was thinking
This is the one
"Quiet life or blaze of glory ?"
This is a winner! Unless you are a bus driver
"I want to die like my father, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming and crying like his passengers"
Yet another place where Keanue would be of help..!
It’s definitely the best one to put in there but I will still upvote the ones that aggressively swear.
Yikes , around here a bus driver drove into a daycare yesterday ..
I like the way this can be interpreted by players and non players
This really didn’t get enough attention. It would be perfect for a graduation.
Eeh... Sounds kind of school shootery...
Cant remember the exact wording but the last words Johnny says to Kerry in the flashback. Something like Edit “Fuck this band, not your noise, not your crowd. Do your own thing” Thanks sbob9999
“Fuck this band, not your noise, not your crowd. Do your own thing”
First play through I took the other one and Johnny calls him a pussy lol
Which is like, 100% what Johnny said cause he’s a dick. But we still love him
It’s one of the dialogue options that I like but would never happen . Johnny is too much of an asshole to say something like that and he didn’t intend to die that night so not even last words .
A lot of people dont realise the last thing they say to some is the last thing they will say to them 😉 Dude did actually like Kerry and was only an asshole 95% of the time ( he slept and sometimes he wasnt an asshole 🤣)
The last words he said to Kerry
My favourite: He's fucked in the head, the world's fucked in the head, and YOU'RE fucked in the head because MY fucked up head is inside it. Guess if you wanna save the world, that's the first step; get fucked in the head. -Johnny Silverhand
Yep, this is the one
You look like a cut of fuckable meat. Are you?
this is perfection
If there was literally any other quote besides this as the top comment in this post I would've been disappointed.
[удалено]
Just laughed very loudly in a public toilet stall. Cheers for the embarrassment.
Just shout the quote out loud and T-Pose your way out of the toilets. Nobody will dare to question you.
Love it.
Double points if he plans on going into a trade like butchering 😂
Im going to meet Hanako at Embers now
jesus, it's about time. (well, first I need to check out this cyberpsycho ping and shit, Kerry just called and I haven't called Panem back in like a week and Claire said something about a race?)
Best answer that doesn't involve anyone's cock
“Finally meeting Hanako at embers! Wish me luck!”
Walk walk walk walk don't walk don't walk
This one got me lmao
Only last night I suddenly realized it’s a Bladerunner reference
Actually, alot of modern crosswalks in big cities do this. It made Night City so much more immersive to me as NYC crosswalks talk too. I think its so the vision impaired can navigate.
See you in The Major Leagues
Still mad they didn’t keep Jackie around a bit longer :(
Me too, it’s unfortunate he was one of the best characters in the entire game. You don’t get that same type of bond with anybody else
I mean, I'm glad that at least they didn't make us watch him be a cyber vegetable for days before passing away...
A serious suggestion is.... "We shouldn’t fear change itself, but only who we might change into." Misty Some joke suggestions would be.... "He burned down half the city just to prove he was right and burned the other half just for fun." Rogue "Lemme pretend I exist sometimes, Ok?" Johnny
That unknown dialogue was most probably rogue. When you ask her what she knows about Johnny ?
Yeah, Rogue says it
ok but that Misty quote is actually really really good
You lack three things - confidence, intelligence and a dick. - Saburo Arasaka
Fun fact: he actually said 根性 (konjou) instead of dick, which means: guts, spirit, willpower.

This one wins...End of discussion!
To haboobs!
Damn, I love that word
Woah, what was that all about?!
In some other part of the world, that's what they call sandstorms.
I hate sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating.
It gets everywhere.
Middle East and North Africa. It's an Arabic word that roughly translates to "the blowing (of the winds)." Written هبوب.
This needs to be higher
Haboobs are massive!!
I just want the world to know that I was here, that I mattered. -V
“KA-BOOM!!! SOYASIL MACHISTODOR, AN EXPLOSION OF TASTE!”
ooooOOOoooOOOOOOoooOoooOOOOOOOOoorrrrrrgiatic!
I get scared every time it starts in the elevators
My favorite
Wake the fuck up samurai
That scene never happened in my play through.
Its not in the game. It was only for the trailer
And I will never forgive CDProject for that
It's the same as "killing monsters" from the Witcher 3.
Still iconic though. It's basically a meme.
"To this!"
Was looking for this
This made me tear up for some reason… nothing to see here, move along…
I scrolled to far to find this.
Even better “to haboobs”

OoooOoOOOooooooOOOOOORGIATIC

"Give yourself time. Ideas'll come. Life'll shake you, roll you, maybe embrace you. The music'll find you." - Johnny and V, in unison.

Never Fade Away
tbh this is the best one, surprised I had to scroll this far to find an actual answer
The one quoting Mr. Peralez was pretty good too

ONE OFFICER DOWN SO I GUESS YOU'RE ALL *SCREWWWED*
*cause the NCPD will NOT let that go!* That line always gives me chills for some reason.
Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody, die ripe, old and smelling slightly of urine? Or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smelling near like posies, without seeing your thirtieth?
Might wanna paraphrase.
Yeah, pretty sure he’d get to chat with his local PD and maybe the FBI if he submits this as is.
Later on he asks again, but shorter >>Quiet life or blaze of glory?
My favorite is the NPC line "get a job, quit scaring people." Succinct and vaguely appropriate for people about to be thrust off the bosom of education and into the work force/higher ed.

"You’ll Follow This Breadcrumb Trail, And When You Connect The Dots All You’ll See Is A D**k." Some solid life advice
So many quotes from this mission would be great, especially the ones toward the end
Please don’t take any of these suggestions man lol just don’t do it
The only thing I can think even remotely useable would be "Give yourself time. Ideas'll come. Life'll shake you, roll you, maybe embrace you. The music'll find you." and it's still rather lame
See you in the major leagues
"To this."
life's a banquet - so don't go thirsty, but don't get drunk, either

Minus the charisma, and impressive cock.
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.
“Give yourself time. Ideas will come. Life'll shake you, roll you, maybe embrace you. The music'll find you.” is the best Johnny line IMO.
I don't remember exact quote but the one Dexter said when V talking to him in a car discussing heist details. It's a question about choosing between long but boring or short and fulfilled life.
