Cyberpunk 2077 - CDProjekt's New Joint

They do find them right away but it doesn’t count as having seen you, they don’t home in on your location. You can still snipe them with a magic fire DoT from a distance or even through a security camera. Only actually seeing you or shooting a gun seems to really alert everybody.

Oh, gotcha. Though I usually seem to attract the attention of the netrunner who likes to bake me.

[Scrax]

When I’m sneaking around I occasionally get a warning that someone is finding my location via spyware - with a progression bar. I thought this meant an enemy netrunner was trailing me, and I had to scope them out first - similar to the warning for the, uh, the fire hack/spell. When I try to enter investigation mode to find the trail to the netrunner, nothing happens though. When the progression bar completes - the enemies know where I am.

What am I missing?

@morlac

I wonder if her nakedness is tied to your choice of showing it all at character creation?

I just blitzed right past character creation and rolled with what they gave me, and I got the fully naked version.

[stusser]

Yes sometimes that happens and you’re forced to give him a sharp rap on the head through the walls, alerting everybody.

It’s nice to see the newspaper industry will still be thriving in 57 years.

[stusser]

Remember this is a vision of the dystopian future from like, 1992.

And apparently internal-combustion engines. At least some of the cars still seem to be non-electric. Maybe most of them? Can’t really tell.

So no one knows what you’re supposed to do when you stumble across a crime scene? If it just for flavor?

The crime scenes that have a teal icon on the map/minimap? It’s usually a matter of dispatching the criminals and securing evidence (use your scanner).

I don’t have it loaded right now. It’s the ones roped off with crime tape.

[Enidigm]

Exactly. I was going to comment how like all 1980s media imagining the future computers are both incredibly sophisticated and omnipresent and also incredibly simple and linear.

[Ginger_Yellow]

Also, you know, you don’t need testers, external or otherwise, to put your game in a console and see it runs like shit.

[jpinard]

So I’m level 5 and still haven’t assigned any points because I’m suffering terrible decision lock. Do you all have some suggestions of where to put points/perks to get me going?

When I made my character I went totally balanced.

[anonymgeist]

If you’re having difficulty with aiming, you may consider dumping the points into Intelligence and going with hacking.

And I’d recommend picking just one or two points and focusing there. The perks seem to get much more powerful the deeper you go, so if you scatter things around, you might end up suffering a bit.

[jpinard]

You can kill people with hacking? Or is it about blinding them then sneaking up and breaking their necks?

[anonymgeist]

@jpinard

You can kill people with hacking?

Oh boy can you.

A lot of the quickhacks are about disabling/deafening/blinding, but you’ve also got plenty of damage options with Synapse Burnout, Overheat, and (my favorite) Contagion.

[Woolen_Horde]

Figure out what you like to do the most and specialize in that. Don’t spread out those perk points to different skills, at least not until you unlock most of one specialization.

For me, it’s handguns. Once you unlock those advanced perks, you go from pew-pew to the hero in every John Woo movie. I have massive boosts to damage, critical hit chances, headshots, reload speed, the works. Without them, handguns are sorta mediocre in the latter part of the game.

'Cyberpunk' Is Several Different Games, and You Choose Which One to Play

[SweetJP]

Being a netrunner is so much fun and so powerful. It doesn’t work in every situation but when it does, it’s brilliant. It’s not uncommon for me to eliminate 90% of enemies before I even take a step into a combat area.

[jpinard]

Man I wish I knew what kind of game I want. I want to go gun’s blazing, but also want to do lots of hacking. And crafting? Open everything.

[Scrax]

It might be a bad suggestion, but if you have at least 7 in body/tech/intelligence/ and cool - you will be able to make the checks for pretty much anything through the first 20-30 hours of the game. Focus on intelligence/cool first - then body/tech. Environmental puzzles usually have an option for either body/hacking (intelligence)/tech. I’ve been able to select every conversation option with a 7 in intelligence and cool. There are rare conversation checks for body and technology.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen checks for, uh, perception? The handgun attribute. Mine is a 5 right now and it doesn’t seem to prevent me from any checks so far.

I’m sure these checks just get higher and higher throughout the game, BUT 7/7/7/7/5 has created a very satisfactory early game for me. When you are 20-30 hours into the game you should have a better idea of which direction you want to build your character and allocate points appropriately.

Again, might be bad advice from a mix/max perspective, but it’s been enjoyable for me so far.
