For those wondering, like my female V save, this is a nomad playthrough. My build is focused on tech weapons and snipers. Crafting is also level 20. This save is also a modded save courtesy of nusigmu's save file called "The World is Your Oyster". If you come across any duplicate unique iconic items, this is because the save file comes with all of them and I only allowed myself to use them once I actually obtained them.
This obviously contains spoilers. You have been warned. Download these if you don't care about spoilers. Click away now if you do.
I've included a quick guide to it/what I did for both romances.
The main goal of posting these saves is so you can experience each Male V romance and see if you like them or not without wasting 20-30hrs just getting there.
Installation Instructions:
Manually install the files. Open them with your preferred archiver (WinRAR, WinZIP, or 7Zip). Then drag and drop the save file into C:/Users/[Username here]/Saved Games/CD Projekt Red/Cyberpunk 2077. If it asks you to overwrite, just extract it to your desktop, then change the number on the folder, then drag and drop it into the path above.
To find it, go through your the load list and look for the save number you gave it. 99% sure the game currently organizes saved by date and time. It should also say that it is a nomad lifestyle.
Useful Guide for all romances found here (gives a detailed walkthrough for each romance and I heavily credit it for the information I give below): https://www.powerpyx.com/cyberpunk-2077-romance-guide-all-romances/
List of Save Files:
Meredith Save File:
Save 106 - Venus in Furs: Just walk up to the room and initiate the romance scene. Meredith's fling is a big let down. Before I played my first PT as female V, I thought Meredith would have had a more prominent role and the romance would be more.
Panam Romance Save Files:
Save 172 - Ghost Town: The number is so high because I just realized that I forgot to make a Ghost Town save while compiling all of my saves together. I saved after paying Rogue and calling Panam. The most important part of this quest is you agreeing to help Panam after you get her truck back. You'll help her get revenge on the dude that betrayed her, help her make the deal with the dude from the 6th Street Gang, and you'll share a drink with her. Also, there's a free super car in the tunnel where you get revenge on the dude that betrayed her. Don't forget to ask to share a room with her as well.
Save 104 - Lightning Breaks: The dialogue doesn't really have an effect on the romance but it's a nice exchange between V and Panam. Since the V in this save is a Nomad, you'll have some additional Nomad dialogue options that have you connect with Panam a bit more. "Life during wartime" directly follows this. It's automatically triggered after you EMP the spaceport and Panam uses her rocket launcher to shoot down the ship.
During "Life During Wartime", make sure that you do the following: Tell Panam to stay in her car because she is hurt. After you rescue Mitch, sit next to Panam and tell her that you need to get Hellman and ask her for help. Also, tell her that you'll help her settle the score and get revenge as well. After you get Hellman, Saul will arrive and try to blame Panam. Tell him it's not her fault.
Save 108 - Riders of the Storm (Haboobs!): Panam will ask you why you're helping, tell her "We're chooms, that's why." Telling it's for money will pretty much fail the romance for you. Then tell her "Do it quiet, perfect for two". Then, after she offers you a ride, accept it. After rescuing Saul and escaping to the hut, pick "Shitty idea, Panam is right" when prompted to. She'll thank you later. After Saul storms off, raise a toast, then select "pleased with your stay, ma'am?". Then "you'd be more comfortable with your shoes off". Then select [touch her thigh] "I got some ideas" (this is important as it's a flirt option). Panam will block your advances after that. Then, in the morning, respond "So-so, back's numb", then "thought you were going to stay with you family". Then, when Panam gets on her bike, select [Stop Panam] "About last night"... this'll have her kiss you.
Save 110 - With a little help from my friends (very wholesome): At the start of the quest, Panam and Saul will be arguing. Defend her and don't reveal the plan to him. Revealing the Plan will let you side with Saul but will completely ruin things with Panam and will lock you out of the rest of the quest, "Queen of the Highway", and will also lock you out of the "Star" ending. You'll get a unique red cayote but that's definitely not worth it.
After keeping the Plan secret, follow Panam and approach the vets. Then say that you are in. Take the car ride with her as well (it's optional but more interactions with her is nice). Then, at the train yard do the following:
After finding the punch card, stand next to her and say "Missed you" as a response for why you showed up. Then select "so, lets start". Then select "OK, we can skip the tiptoeing", then "why is it different with me?". Then choose [Panam's hand] "Next time, follow your impulse" (very important as it pretty much locks in the romance and romance scene in the next Quest).
At the campfire, sit next to her and ask "worried about Saul?". Then select "Think I'll get some shut eye". Then select [scrooch closer] "Gotten kinda cold". You'll look at the stars and share a romantic moment.
Save 112 - Queen of the Highway (Homestretch): Pretty straight forward. Get in the basilisk and then say "Anybody get it running earlier". Then pick "nice and cozy in here". Then pick the kiss option where you go "[Let Panam Touch You] Oh yeah, let's go". A trippy romance scene will trigger after that and you've just locked in the romance. After everything is done, choose to Kiss Panam goodbye and thank her for helping you.
Save 171 - Point of No Return Save (Only Panam Romance Locked in): Play the game as normal. Visit Honako and Embers, call Panam, and then ask her for help. Just follow what you need for the Star Ending and you'll ride off in the sunset with Panam and the Aldecaldos. Before you assault Arasaka's HQ, you'll spend the night with the Aldecaldos. You'll share a few drinks with them, do some games with them, and then have a moment with Panam (without spoiling much). After you assault Arasaka's HQ, you'll wake up and share a few moments with Panam and then ride off in the sunset with her.
Alternatively, you can do the Sun Ending and Panam will briefly move in to V's mansion but I don't recommend it because she leaves you in the end like Judy.
Kerry Romance Save Files:
I'm going to preface with an "ugh". A lot of his side gigs have no effect on his romance at all. They're interesting and have some pretty good interactions but 5 of them just don't matter romance wise.
Save 159 - Holding On: Finish the Quest. Nothing really matters here. x1
Save 160 - Second Conflict: Again, nothing really matters here. Just finish the quest. x2
Save 161 - A like supreme: Again, nothing really matters here x3
Save 162- Rebel Rebel: Again, nothing really matters here x4 (I'm starting to see a trend here)
Save 165 - I Don't wanna hear it: Again, nothing really matters here.... x5
Save 166 - Off the Leash: Again, nothing reall-..... Just kidding! This is the first quest where you can start romancing Kerry. To romance him, join him on the Balcony and say "glad we got a moment." Then "you tell me." Then "you made it" Then "it's time that you stopped being afraid". Then you kiss him.
Save 168 - Boat Drinks: When you arrive at the yacht say "Ahoy, back at you" and sit down. When Kerry stands up, follow him and he'll start smashing up the yacht. Stand up and say "yeah let's play". Follow him and just choose the dialogue where you're in favor of smashing up the boat. After you smash a few objects, go over and help him. Then choose to kiss him and then the romance scene will play. After the romance scene, you'll be on the beach. Sit next to him, then say "preem way to settle the score", then hug him and then fast travel. According to the guide, hugging him will lock in the romance.
Save 170 - Point of No Return (both Panam and Kerry are locked in): I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how this will play out. Play the game normally. Choose to call Kerry on the roof (I'm guessing that will probably be an option as with every other romance) and then ask for Rogue's help. Play the Sun ending out Normally and then you'll wake up in V's mansion. Kerry should wake up next to you and move in with you. My theory is whoever you call before asking for help is the one that shows up at V's mansion.
You can also do the Star Ending but I wouldn't recommend it for a couple reasons: First, Kerry wants to stay in Night City like River. Secondly, I have no idea how it'll play out since both Kerry and River will be romanced.
