Why I cant be a cyberpsycho?

[SNicNaicie]

I tryed last day become a cyberpsycho but the game don't increase my "crime" level. the Police don't fight back, just the gang and Arasaka guys, someone know what's happening?

Cyberpunk's Cyberpsychosis is reliant on the amount of cybernetics. A person can be a murderous lunatic but still not be a Cyberpsycho. A person can be the icon of heroism but succumb to Cyberpsychosis due to too much "Chrome". (This is part of the tabletop ruleset.)

The game limits cybernetics so V can never have Cyberpsychosis and makes no accommodations for mods that break the limits.

you can do it, but it needs mods to do so.

Wannabe Edgerunner - A simple Cyberpsychosis mod
it gives you the closest thing we have to in game cyberpsychosis.
(it still works for 2.11 but needs patching because some players are not seeing the screen animations ect)

otherwise, you need to try the 'berserk' cyberware and some perks.
it can send you into a 'frenzy' mode where V laughs like a lunatic. thats the closest you can get to vanilla cyberpsychosis at the moment

I hope whoever continues Cyberpunk video games will consider a native in-game consequence of too much chrome.

Maybe optionally?

There are a great number of players who hate doing bad things because the game visually deceived them (like how psychosis could be perceived, a gross misinterpretation of reality) or who hate doing bad things because the game took over their character (which could also be an experience of psychosis, a strange mix of driving the car with your own two hands but someone else seems to be steering anyway even though you're in control).

(Psychology is fascinating and terrifying and different for everyone. No one diagnosis is experienced the same between individuals.)

If I can control the risk of Cyberpsychosis in my character through choices (such as self-limiting Chrome and deescalating triggering encounters), I would be open to the "distorted reality" version of Cyberpsychosis (but without any obvious hints that a psychotic episode is happening because the majority of people recorded in such episodes have great difficulty determining their perception is off during those times). I would want it to be something that will make the player want to react though what the player is seeing is very loosely based on what is really happening in the game.

first you must have 500 humanity points or above ( i think edgerunners perk counts) the you must get up to 500 humanity points and after that every wanted star will increase your cyberpsychosis level
