Cyberpunk 2077: Should You Lie to Jefferson in Dream On
After discovering the sinister truth behind Jefferson and Elizabeth Peralez in Cyberpunk 2077's Dream On side quest, V will have a difficult choice to make: lie to Jefferson or tell him the truth. Here are the outcomes of both options, which influence the end credits of Cyberpunk 2077.
Following a successful investigation with V and River Ward, Jefferson Peralez and his wife Elizabeth hire the mercenary for a very disturbing sidequest in Cyberpunk 2077. Jefferson and Elizabeth have been experiencing strange lapses in their memories and events such as an intruder in the middle of the night. But after discussing it with their private security team, the team claims to have no footage of the incident and tell the married couple that it's just a dream.
Of course, Elizabeth and Jefferson suspect something different and bring V in to do their own investigation. The protagonist eventually finds a hidden room inside their luxurious apartment in Heywood, where the private security team was seemingly doing secret surveillance. After further digging, V discovers that the Peralezes are being brainwashed, explaining the lapses in memory. Elizabeth suspected this herself as she saw her husband's personality changing before her eyes.
She'll meet with V in private and ask them to lie to her husband. V must meet with Jefferson, as he was the one who hired her, to explain what she found. But Elizabeth has been threatened by this mysterious group and fears their lives may be in danger if he finds out the whole truth. On the other hand, Johnny Silverhand believes living a lie controlled by possible rogue AI is wrong and he deserves to know the truth.
It seems that as far as the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 goes, this decision has no influence on the main campaign and V will not observe much change with the Peralezes afterward. Either way, V will receive some dark text messages and be blocked from contacting both Jefferson and Elizabeth, and this is the last they'll hear from either until the credits.
On one hand, if V lies to Jefferson and tells the story that Elizabeth came up with, he'll be satisfied with the case. During the final credits of Cyberpunk 2077, he'll seem cheery with a positive outlook, but V knows that he's likely still being brainwashed. On the other hand, if V tells him the truth about being brainwashed, the credits will show Jefferson driven mad, no longer trusting the wife he once had a great relationship with.
While it might seem that this is all there is to the Dream On side quest, many fans believe this sinister story will make a return in the form of Cyberpunk 2077 DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development.
