Cyberpunk 2 should let us play as a Borg

[Atomsk]

Imo Songbird and Adam Smasher are the most interesting characters in the game, and it's a shame that we're not able to appear as one despite replacing every body part with cyberware in game .

I think they should too... with all of the pros and cons from the tabletop game. More radical changes to appearance would be interesting to see. At the same time, I'd like to see dialogue options or other aspects of "losing your humanity" that were present in the tabletop game. It's not just about teetering into cyberpsychosis. In the old game, cybernetics would reduce humanity and empathy, making you more and more of an unfeeling machine. That would be cool to see implemented in gameplay.

In tabletop, humanity also limits how much cyberware you can get without going cyberpsycho(loss of character).

Man it's going to be long wait for Cyberpunk 2 , probably going to be like 4-5 years

Yeah, that's one of the few things I don't like - their sorry excuse for visible cyberware. Those in the character editor and the arms don't cut it - not by a long shot. Even less so as all other NPCs are allowed to have the nicest artifical limb decorations / colors. The next game really has to deliver here...

I guarantee you Cyberpunk 2077 would have been a much greater game if they didnt half ass it to get it released on time.

I'll settle for being able to have actual cybernetic customization.

No less than 5-10 years for even a release date announcement. Cyberpunk 2077 took a decade, 13 years if you count cut content which was most of Pacifica that only revealed during Phantom Liberty, and there's no way Project Orion will have a release within 5 years. Unreal Engine 6 will be out during development too, so there's also potential for an engine upgrade in as well, which means more development time.

Hopefully I'm wrong and CDPR Boston surprises us all, but I'm just not seeing it.

Untested team, new location, new engine... there is no way it isn't a disaster.

Dammn does CDPR have exclusive rights to Cyberpunk license? I hope they open it up then, would be fun to play rouge-lite or Shadow run type game in the Cyberpunk universe. Just as long as Mike Pondsmith has overall creative control.

Don't want a WH40k situation where every vapour ware studio has access to the license.

Yea I was pretty disappointed that our arm cyberware was the only physical change to our characters appearance, other than the cyberware in character customization. It would've made a lot of sense if our legs also changed appearance with the leg cyberware. If we could've had options for our body and stuff it would've been nice. Like the see-through chests or the ballerina feet of the TygerClaws or the Spooky red optics of the Maelstrom, that would've been nice. Even like changing the color and/or pattern of your arms would've been appreciated. Hopefully Cyberpunk Orion will solve these issues. Or with any luck, maybe (even though they said they're aren't planning on anymore content) they will drop a 'additional cyberware options' pack in the future. We'll see.
