1first playtrough, missable before end chapter 1 ?

[Navli]

Hello everyone, I just have a question, this is my very 1st game, are there things we can miss before finishing chapter 1? like quests, items, etc,...

And I have a few quests: Psycho Killer by Regina Jones, Ruby on the Nail, Beat on the Brat, the Contract (from Wakako), and the Gift (from Tbug). Do I need to do all these quests before finishing chapter 1 with Jackie?

Thanks.

Off the top of my head, there are two iconic weapons you can miss in the prologue.

They are:
Kongou (Liberty Power Pistol) and Satori (Katana), both found during the heist mission.

Any of the missions don't matter.

*edit
Almost forgot... The iguana egg is missable as well during the heist.

Those quests are persistent.

No, you won't lose any quests nor side-missions so you can freely do main quests until you get to ACT II, in fact this is what I personally do due to story reasons and content.

Regarding the items though, yes. Plenty of missions have exclusive items that can be easily missed if you don't thoroughly explore the areas or become locked away due to story choices.

The Heist mission in ACT 1 in particular has several items that can be easily missed;

• An iconic gun
  
• An iconic katana
  
• Yorinobu's Coat, Shirt & Pants
  
• Dog tags and an encrypted shard
  
• Iguana egg (you don't want to miss this one)

Thanks a lot. I've also seen people talking about the laptop in the hall entrance of Arasaka. I'm not built much towards intelligence so I don't have access to it. What do I miss by not access it please? Thank you.

No idea, I've never looked at it in 10+ playthroughs.

What this guy said, but honestly, with very little modding, nothing is missable.

don't forget yorinobu's coat

I think the only things in Act 1 you really need to pick up are the ones in Konpeki Plaza. After the Heist, you'll be locked out [unless you use game-breaking methods]. None of those items are critical to the rest of the game, although it's fun to have them.

Although they aren't necessary, you'd be well advised to do a few NCP missions and gigs early on to build up Attribute level and Street Cred. You really don't want to be too weak in the Heist.

Ah yes, I forgot about that. I didn't even realize it was a special item as I thought it's just another random clothing in a bathroom :D

wasn't there a way to get back into heist building after the mission or was that patched?

It depended on some very glitchy moves...it may even be patched out. I wouldn't bother making the effort, personally.

I have a love hate relationship with this game. I love there is so much ♥♥♥♥, I hate you can easily miss or ♥♥♥♥ up so much.
