Judy – who is she, where to meet her?
Judy Alvarez is a woman who, as a technician, is a braindance editor. She stays in Lizzie's Bar, located in the Kabuki district of Watson. You don't need to look for the place as you have to pay a mandatory visit to one of the initial main missions – Cherchez La Femme (The Information). As part of this quest, you have to enter the bar in the evening or at night (between 6 am and 6 pm).
Judy will be introduced to you by Evelyn Parker, with whom V will meet first. Together with Evelyn, you will reach the basement of the bar, which is Judy's workplace.
You will get to know Judy better immediately. With her support, you will play the first two braindance scenes - analyzing the material from the recordings for valuable traces.
Judy also appears in many later quests. She will appear in the main quests as well as in side quests related to her. She will leave Lizzie's Bar and accompany V in, e.g. the search for Evelyn.
Judy - can you romance her?
Yes, you can romance Judy. However, this is only possible if you play as V with a female body and female voice tone – you can create a character like this at the beginning of the game. The choices made in the character creator cannot be changed later.
You cannot romance Judy if you play as a male V, although you will be able to be her friend. But don't expect any erotic scenes when playing a character with a male body type and/or a character with a male voice.
Romancing Judy – details
To start romancing Judy, you have to do her side quests – they become available later in the game. You can act however you want during the majority of these quests.
You have to be careful during the Pisces side quest in which you visit Hiromi's office. During the choice with a time limit, refuse Maiko if you want to have a chance with Judy. This choice forces you to fight the members of the Tyger Claws gang. However, Judy will appreciate it.
Soon after making the right decision about Maiko, you will receive a call from Judy inviting you to the lake house. You must agree and swim with Judy together. If you refuse, you won't be able to romance her. Your behavior during the dive is not important. You don't have to fulfill optional goals or compliment Judy.
After getting out of the water the woman will offer you accommodation – you must agree to her offer. There, you will perform a task with the generator. When you return, Judy will be sitting in the bathroom. Talk to her to move on to the next part of the mission. This will also improve your relationship.
You will have a chance to kiss or hug Judy - do one of the two.
Your relationship can be "formalized" the next day, and you must say that you want to be with her. V may also reject the offer to be with Judy – you won't be able to enter a close relationship with her anymore.
Judy's reaction to you wanting to kiss her is rather straightforward. After a kiss in the bathroom, she will take you to her bed.
You can't interrupt this part. Watch a short cut-scene.
Remember, however, that you are just an observer. You cannot move the camera or do anything.
Getting involved with Judy - impact on the game
If you managed to romance Judy, then:
- Judy may appear in the game's finale and her presence may affect the epilogue.
- You can access Judy's apartment in Night City. There, you can use her drop point, which shares the content with V's drop point.
