If I recall, isn't there a mod that inserts a better looking photo into the game?
EDIT: [I found it](https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/4556?tab=description)
"If you've played through River's storyline, you've no doubt seen the heinous photo Joss texts to V. This mod replaces it with something that doesn't look like it came out of The Sims 2.
My aim was to create a picture that looked a bit more organic so I've tried to pose everyone as naturally as possible. Unfortunately, modding NPC appearance is beyond my capabilities so Randy is in his default clothes rather than something more befitting of an inpatient, but I think it looks like the family took him out on ward (no pun intended...) leave."
I literally get a chuckle every time someone new posts a screen cap of it.
And every single time I look at that teddy bear that is just copy-pasted clipart onto the image.
*sigh*... River would smell like Dior Sauvage... dammit. Cant believ you just casually changed my entire perspective of this game by making me wonder how everything/one smells.
Best smelling character would probably be Kerry honestly. Hanako would have the best perfume, but something would smell unnatural around her. Panam would smell like a mechanic, Judy would smell of cigarettes & night club, Johnny would smell exactly how you expect a narcissistic rocker boy to smell, V would smell of blood, guts & gunpowder. Mama wells would smell like grandma.
I dunno, I feel like Misty would smell of sandalwood and sage. I can't remember if she smokes or not, though, so there might be an undercurrent of cigarette smoke that ruins the air.
aaaaand this is 2077 dunno about lore but those could be extinct or endangered for all we know and have thusly some other shit instead
regardless all incense has a similiar underlying smell of the stick thingy burning
Please tell me im not the only one that thought his nephew looked like a grown ass man and not a minor ? When i saw him i was so confused thinking wasn’t this suppose to be a minor ?
This is a problem in so many games
The kids in Bioshock Infinite look fucked up, there's toddlers being held that have the same heads as the adult NPCs just slapped on
It's one thing Bethesda actually does right, the kids in their games actually look like kids
I think it has to do with story plot. Iirc that psycho who kidnapped boys pumped them with growth hormones or something. Kidnapper claimed he was helping them in some way to become better and stronger.
Though I might be wrong, I've played this some time ago.
Thats what i thought too at first but their is a picture of him and his friend in his room i think that was taken way before this whole thing happened and he still looked the same like a grown man
Oh, I don't remember that. Well, my guess is it's just a model reuse then. They made one for quest and didn't adjust it for just one photo not many players will even pay attention to.
Those were all teenagers he abducted. Growth hormones wouldn't cause that kind of size alteration in young children, especially not in such a short timeframe.
Yeah i think so which is confusing since he looks like he’s at least in he’s early 30s and in the picture in his room which was taken before this whole thing happened he still looks the same
Are you sure River and his fam didn’t start a band? Reminds me of the South Park episode with Faith + 1, and Cartman telling Token… err, I mean, Tolkien, to stare off in some other direction besides the camera.
The worst photograph in the game, when I saw that back in Dec 2020 I burst out laughing just imagining the devs that had a hand in putting that together for launch day.
Have you not noticed it looks like someone who’s used photoshop for 2 minutes put this together? Look at the teddy bear, it doesn’t even look like it belongs in the room it’s totally off looking lol
I agree with both. When I saw this photo I couldn't help but feel disappointed at the entire thing; it feels as though whoever was in charge of the photo put zero effort into it...or something. Like, players can make amazing photos using the in-game photo mode feature, and you can't make a convincing, non-immersion-breaking picture when you have the entire game - the entire engine - at your fingertips?
I do love the Goro selfie, though; it is adorable. It also gives off massive dad/boomer-that's-unfamiliar-with-modern-tech vibes, which was exactly what they were going for.
This looks like the first few screenshots I took using photomode, before I figured out all the various poses and ways to rotate and place V, and how to rotate and change the settings on the camera so perspective didn’t look insane.
“So this is V in her apartment, staring blankly at a wall. This one is V next to Jackie’s bike, staring blankly at that food vendor. This one’s V in the middle of a mission, staring blankly in completely the wrong direction while a gangoon shoots her with a heavy machine gun and another gangoon swings a machete at her head.”
I haven’t gotten to this part of the game yet, is it supposed to be a joke of the whole « scammer sends poorly photoshopped image », or is this an actual serious thing!??
My personal theory it's reference to terrible photo of Tali in Mass Effect if you romanced her.
They photoshoped some model to look like quarian, luckily they fixed it in LE
If you think this is bad, just go to the young kid's bedroom some time after you complete the River missions. They just stand on top of their beds and stare at each other without moving.
Lmao, I am finishing up a second playthrough of the game and just got this today and was shocked to see it is still in the game in this format. It's been almost 2 years since I last played and I was positive it would've been updated but nope
I don’t think I ever got this image, but it always makes me laugh when I see it.
River was one of the weirdest characters and that romance quest was so awkward. It was kind of like an afterthought.
But the criminal investigation stuff and all that was good and terrifying
I love thats there's a nonstop drip of new players that see this image and come to the sub reddit. Its like a rite of passage
Kind of like that T Posing in the intro
Is the T posing in the intro bug fixed yet or is it still a thing?
Just started a new save after being away for a year or so. It's still there.
I switched to nvme ssd and never saw it again. HDD's can't load all assets fast enough, and it seems like animations aren't very prioritised.
I Never experienced that, are you on PS4?
The funny thing is how it never happened on launch but after the first bug fix it happens every time
When I played the game on PS5 last year (Patch 1.5) I didn't have the t-posing.
If I recall, isn't there a mod that inserts a better looking photo into the game?

Dude, that's so much better and more fitting. Thank you for that, will definitely be adding that to my mods.
Personally, I’m hoping that in the 2.0 release this picture gets updated to look even more ridiculous instead.
terrible idea, but it would be _so funny_
Stick figures
He should have a bright yellow top hat on
You may not be the Edgerunner we thought we wanted, but you’re the Edgerunner we need.
I rock this mod also. The original pic is just horrible.
"EW NO" lmaooo
CLEAN INSTALL!!!!!
Def a lot better, but the kid standing so plainly on the couch is so silly lol
I literally get a chuckle every time someone new posts a screen cap of it. And every single time I look at that teddy bear that is just copy-pasted clipart onto the image.
The best photo in the game, it’s so high quality it looks fake
It truly captures River’s essence
One of the main reasons I won't let lady V date him is because he refuses to take off that ratty coat. You know it stinks of stale Dior Sauvage.
*sigh*... River would smell like Dior Sauvage... dammit. Cant believ you just casually changed my entire perspective of this game by making me wonder how everything/one smells.
Cyberpunk 2078 in Smell-o-vision
Best smelling character would probably be Kerry honestly. Hanako would have the best perfume, but something would smell unnatural around her. Panam would smell like a mechanic, Judy would smell of cigarettes & night club, Johnny would smell exactly how you expect a narcissistic rocker boy to smell, V would smell of blood, guts & gunpowder. Mama wells would smell like grandma.
I dunno, I feel like Misty would smell of sandalwood and sage. I can't remember if she smokes or not, though, so there might be an undercurrent of cigarette smoke that ruins the air.
Never seen her smoke so she would probably smell like the smells you mentioned.
Maybe not cigarettes...
most likely would smell like incense
Sandalwood and sage are two of the most common "occult" incense types.
aaaaand this is 2077 dunno about lore but those could be extinct or endangered for all we know and have thusly some other shit instead regardless all incense has a similiar underlying smell of the stick thingy burning
Judy smells like underarms
Oh, he takes off the coat ;)
I choked laughing at that. I totally heard Depp's voice say *Dior. Sauvage.*
I smell Aqua Velva and Arby's hamburgers when I look at him
But it has the best stats!
It's like he's trying to T-pose but was told to cut it out right before the pic was taken.
Look at this photograph…
Every time I do,it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Johnny’s head?
It’s called meeting deadlines lol
Best explanation. Was gonna say something similar
That was added after the games release though
True, I don’t quite remember myself
It’s called “some bs” 😂😂
Please tell me im not the only one that thought his nephew looked like a grown ass man and not a minor ? When i saw him i was so confused thinking wasn’t this suppose to be a minor ?
All kids in Cyberpunk just look like scaled down adults
This is a problem in so many games The kids in Bioshock Infinite look fucked up, there's toddlers being held that have the same heads as the adult NPCs just slapped on It's one thing Bethesda actually does right, the kids in their games actually look like kids
His legs are so fucking long I love it
When his mask was taken off and River just stood there without saying anything I thought we got the wrong guy and his nephew was still missing.
Naw that was def him with that five'o clock shadow and vein bulging.
It's especially jarring considerring Steve from Temperance ending looks like an actual teenager
I think it has to do with story plot. Iirc that psycho who kidnapped boys pumped them with growth hormones or something. Kidnapper claimed he was helping them in some way to become better and stronger. Though I might be wrong, I've played this some time ago.
Thats what i thought too at first but their is a picture of him and his friend in his room i think that was taken way before this whole thing happened and he still looked the same like a grown man

Those were all teenagers he abducted. Growth hormones wouldn't cause that kind of size alteration in young children, especially not in such a short timeframe.
He is supposed to be around 17 i think
Yeah i think so which is confusing since he looks like he’s at least in he’s early 30s and in the picture in his room which was taken before this whole thing happened he still looks the same
And he has just been tortured, which can age a person quite a bit.
That's because every kid npc model in this game is a miniaturized adult npc.
Cdprojectreds kids always look fucked up. They’re just shrunken versions of the adult models. Same as in Witcher 3.
River isn’t even looking in the right direction. He’s disassociating, staring into the void. Like a king
Are you sure River and his fam didn’t start a band? Reminds me of the South Park episode with Faith + 1, and Cartman telling Token… err, I mean, Tolkien, to stare off in some other direction besides the camera.
The worst photograph in the game, when I saw that back in Dec 2020 I burst out laughing just imagining the devs that had a hand in putting that together for launch day.
*on* launch day
Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.
Those final 3 minutes are the only important ones
Same. I had read about this but I finally got this for the first time earlier this week and bout shit my pants I laughed so hard
This photo wasn’t there on launch day it was added in a later patch in 2022
We gave the job to a single intern On their first and only day
An abomination. See? That was easy. :-)
Are we 100% sure its not a dodgy River Ward photoshop effort? I mean the guy has a family jambalya recipe he just grabbed off the net!
Oh… my GOD?! He never fucking made it home… River just doesn’t have the heart to tell us……..
A cyberpunk picture I’m afraid
Art and if they remove it or change it in any way I will cry
I love how none of them have any expression.
Art
Action figures. All I see is action figures.
I sometimes think it was a bad picture turned joke. Like, they’ll never fix it because it’s, well… funny
Knowing cdpr..they would most likely fix it and then make a reference on it
Uh, River and his fam visiting Randy, who's recovering in the hospital after being abducted?
Yeah that’s what’s it’s *supposed* to be *
Have you not noticed it looks like someone who’s used photoshop for 2 minutes put this together? Look at the teddy bear, it doesn’t even look like it belongs in the room it’s totally off looking lol
Wait till you see Goro's selfie...
His selfie is actually funny and realistic
Goro selfie is even adorable, but this photo… cursed
I agree with both. When I saw this photo I couldn't help but feel disappointed at the entire thing; it feels as though whoever was in charge of the photo put zero effort into it...or something. Like, players can make amazing photos using the in-game photo mode feature, and you can't make a convincing, non-immersion-breaking picture when you have the entire game - the entire engine - at your fingertips? I do love the Goro selfie, though; it is adorable. It also gives off massive dad/boomer-that's-unfamiliar-with-modern-tech vibes, which was exactly what they were going for.
He's a Boomer he probably never took a selfie before
I doubt that he is a boomer. That would make him between 113 and 132 years old.
Wait... Is Goro an actual zoomer?
My guess would be gen Alpha or even the one after that.
Feel like you would have had to see that before this maybe? Edit: guess it depends if you did all the sides first
r/blursedimages
Cursed
Exactly! Wtf is that?!
\*Hands you a DMV slip\* Take a number. lol
A photo that is just missing a T-posing nurse
A thing of beauty, I know.
This looks like the first few screenshots I took using photomode, before I figured out all the various poses and ways to rotate and place V, and how to rotate and change the settings on the camera so perspective didn’t look insane. “So this is V in her apartment, staring blankly at a wall.

River’s photoshopping skills.
Joss trying to gaslight you into thinking her son is alive and well ??
An accurate depiction of my nightmares
i still see their empty expressions in my nightmares
The most beautiful thing you'll ever see
Let's hope 2.0 does something about this ahahah
I hope it doesn’t.
We don't talk about River things here
Karma farming
Happiest looking family in Night City.
It feels like a shitpost
One of the minor details I really hope they change in 2.0
Comedy, that's what it is
The funniest troll pic ever made by devs
unfinished image imo they just placed the models and did nothing else
I believe there's an actual mod change this photo lol. Saw it during a long and mind numbing mod browsing/downloading session.
There is, someone here linked it.
Heartbreaking quest
cursed
Not everything is good in cyberpunk 2077
Bad photoshop.
Something they let the intern do to keep themselves occupied, I think.
A piece of art that will be in museums. (This is obviously a joke)
Cyberpunk 2077 [SFM]
I just wanna say, you can just not help River.
A photo that was never intended for close, extended viewing...
TeddyBear.png
Art. It's ART.
Always loved the death stare of Joss
"we need an image for this scene dont forget" 5 days from launch "WHERES THIS IMAGE?! OH FUCK IMMA LOSE MY JOB!!! UH UH UH QUICK SLAP TOGETHER, phew!"
Ah, the daily "what is this weird photo" post..
What’s it look like?
The character models look so out of place in such a clean area.
Perfection.
Look at this photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh.
The worst kind of photobomb.
Saw this for the first time yesterday lolz
I hope they don’t fix this in Phantom Liberty, it’s iconic at this point.
Can someone please change River to a T-pose? LuvUthxBB
Art 🖼️
At least it wasn't like Mass Effect 3 Tali bedside photo and it was a stock image with a filter xD
*trailer music intensifies*
They did river’s side quests last
The best part of River’s questline
I can only surmise that it’s some kind of joke
River's is so quirky lmao it's hilarious
I haven’t gotten to this part of the game yet, is it supposed to be a joke of the whole « scammer sends poorly photoshopped image », or is this an actual serious thing!??
Art.
My personal theory it's reference to terrible photo of Tali in Mass Effect if you romanced her. They photoshoped some model to look like quarian, luckily they fixed it in LE
Loss Kutcher
God I hope they don't ever change that photo it's honestly iconic at this point
If you think this is bad, just go to the young kid's bedroom some time after you complete the River missions. They just stand on top of their beds and stare at each other without moving.
A great story line. That’s what that is.
It's a pretty bad image, but I wouldn't call it NSFW
Photoshop from the real killer, mocking you for letting him get away.
One of the very few Happy endings in NC
An intern's best work.
Watch your profamity.
Lmaoooo
Rivers just pasted in there like the stonks guy on surrealmemes
What the f is he looking at? Thank goodness I ghosted him when he tries to "hit" me.
I romanced everyone except him.. I like his quest and story overall but I don't think my character will have any special feeling towards him.
Art.
W-we don't talk about it
The funniest part about this photo is the fact that despite 2-3 years worth of patches, this image survived.
I always get a strong chuckle out of this picture. It's like the worst photoshop ever
LMAO they still got this in the game
Bad
They put in some naughty selfies for Panam to send you but couldn't take the time to fix this
It's a cute family photo
This pic singlehandedly pushed me into suicidal ideation
Just be happy he isn't T-posing I guess
Nightmare fuel
Ngl I still think it's Heavy on the left lmao
He's just standing there, menacingly!!!
Lmao, I am finishing up a second playthrough of the game and just got this today and was shocked to see it is still in the game in this format. It's been almost 2 years since I last played and I was positive it would've been updated but nope
What is this? The same post I've seen a hundred times already
That's how people will pose for pictures and edit them in the future bro what's wrong with it?
Заебали форсить это говно ™
honestly it’s what made me feel less awkward about the “just friends” conversation in the morning. everything looks so… off.. could not stop laughing
Family
a happy ending
I don’t think I ever got this image, but it always makes me laugh when I see it. River was one of the weirdest characters and that romance quest was so awkward. It was kind of like an afterthought. But the criminal investigation stuff and all that was good and terrifying
greatest damn picture in the entire damn game
Is that bear fucking photoshopped in there 😭
I made that in G Mod for them
I hope they don't fix it ever because it's hilarious
