How did they fit all of Dogtown in the previous map???

I can't even remember what it looked like before but i don't remember that much unoccupied space before. When i'm in Dogtown it feels like a massive city on its own. Just don't understand how they made it fit.

Dogtown has a lot of vertical space which makes up for the small size of it relative to the entire map, it's also a lot more packed than most areas in the game.

I'm pretty sure the place where Dogtown is now used to be just a bunch of abandoned office buildings in Pacifica. The gate to that area of the map is near a homeless camp I remember quite well; at least one Delemain mission takes place there. I don't remember the area nearby but I did attempt to climb/explore a lot of buildings back in the day. Most of them were just facades. Leaves plenty of room to add more neighborhoods, I guess.

That space was inaccessible before, but it was always "there". You don't remember what it looked like because you've never been there. CDPR just built stuff behind the closed off bits and opened the gates.

well they did an amazing job. I'm having the most immersive gaming experience ever. Really feels like a movie i swear. The air drops are preem and the new gigs have so much more character. Imagine what is coming for Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 haha

Yeah I'm hoping cyberpunk orion's main map will look and feel like dogtown in terms of density and verticality.

I believe there was some barely finished half ass put together area in the game on release where you could not even enter all of it I think. That was probably dogtown. No clue what is there when you go there when you do not have the DLC installed with todays game version but who cares.

I remember going through all the dogtown content and thinking "I really wish the rest of the city was more like this". Not just the map layouts, but the actual content itself. Everything that happens in dogtown has so much more weight to it than most of the main game. So much so in fact, that on subsequent playthroughs after dogtown I find myself skipping a lot of the side stuff in favor of the main story because it feels kind of "meh" in comparison.

that they really gave us their A game with Dogtown. Design is perfect and the quests are interesting, funny and have higher stakes it feels like. Maybe CDPR were under board pressure to rush the game out and Dogtown is a product of what happens when the devs are left to perfect things.
