yes, blue star.

I think the events that look like a club respawn too.

I’ve never seen those or the NCPD logo respawn.

I constantly find new clubs. Definitely not the skulls or the actual missions where a fixer calls you.

“Vulnerability is CDPR’s fault not modders’ fault.”

Fixed now.

What model did you go with?

The NF-A14 PWM.

Big exhaust! What’s the case?

I have a Fractal Define R5. Kept it from my last build like 6 years ago.

If I was going to buy now I’d probably get the Fractal Meshify 2.

So Intend to read through these posts to get an idea where you guys are on this. Thought I’d just sorta comment on my recent (last 5 days or so) playing this crazy game.

This is really hard --I am having a hard time with this game – there is so much to like. I like the quests, and the dialogue and even some of the characters (NPCs).

But wow I just don’t get the gameplay. Combat seems weird --and for all you critics of Fallout 4 … vats DOES make a difference ina RPG shooter. I just cant get to liking it.

A few decisions that baffle me --after ten thousand mods to make any bethesda character look great in 3rd person – there is no 3rd person i this game. I cannot play suzy dress up at all… or whatever Tom calls it. Which makes no sense to me. And no barber? No way to adjust anything? Small things some will say – but I woulda thought…

Leveling up seems so … i dunno – help me – 3 percent more damage with pistols? Really? If combat made more sense I guess i’d get that.

And don’t get me started on the keybinds --holy crap – I had to mod to game to get my keyboard command.

And then this morning i had such a sublime moment in this goofy game…I chose not to negotiate and killed EVERYONE in the room … (ok that wasn’t very nice). But it was AWESOME.

So I guess Ill keep playing. Not to remind anyone to my old original arguments about games but --this may be a great example of waiting for a year or two to let the dust settle, the bugs to work out (I have palm trees in my apartments bathroom) and the mods to get better.

(I killed all those guys and said a few choice words about negotiating – i was so surprised at the coolness of that scene I almost lost it)

ps thanks for welcoming me back! Also I liked the brain dancing thing when i was sure i would NOT like it.

I can certainly empathise with the dress-up issue. They obviously spent so much time and effort with different styles of clothing but then proceeded to make it virtually impossible to dress up without compromising on gearing up.

It’s not an unsolved problem, given that other games allow for gear to either apply to stats or visuals.

There is something broken about how they’ve implemented the main character’s model in this game which is why modded third person camera videos of Cyberpunk make V look like a monster from an abstract horror movie.

It’s best I think to view combat in Cyberpunk as FPS first, RPG a very distant second. Actually, that might bee accurate for the whole game.

Once you level up quickhacking it isn’t even that; you’re an invincible god smokin’ fools with magic DoTs from a mile away. I roll up, toss a single contagion spell, and entire buildings die.

True, though I enjoy the gunplay so I found myself not really enjoying the Cybermage gameplay as much. Prefer to shoot stuff, even if it much less efficient.

For gunplay, it’s more about the weapons than it is the stats, perks next, and the actual leveling up is almost non-consequential.

Ever since specializing in 20 technical/crafting and 20 intelligence/quickhacking my weapon and melee skills gave stayed stagnant.

Things became easy mid-20s level-wise where Contagion and Short Circuit were easily taking down skull-denoted enemies. It just took a little longer.

Any tips on raising engineering, brawling, blades and weapons xp? I’m resigned to just going from gang spawn points in Pacifica.

I played blades & hacking and was ridicilously OP by the end. I also didn’t give a fuck about my clothings’ stats except for how many slots they had and how they looked.

Played most of the game wearing a netrunner bodysuit, a metallic red skirt, a corpo jacket in boring grey and corpo looking shoes. She was also rocking a magnificent head of dreadlocks and a mean, lean scowly face that could make even Johnny Silverhands’ chrome balls shrivel up and die.

She fired about two or three shots from a firearm. All the fighting was done with either katanas or wrist blades. And of course those epic spells. By mid game, when I could afford the orange cyberdeck, those became way way powerfull, turning people off at will. I ended the game with 18 on INT, REF and COOL.

This and about 35 perks don’t work properly

That’s ridiculous.
