Man so I did all the Delamain quests:

I was really hoping I'd get a free cab to add to my car stable, and even dared to dream it would still have a personality and talk poo poo about your driving (I'm very bad with kbm). At least I thought I'd be able to get a cab to drive me places or something. I know at the end he sent some messages that imply more to come but I was hoping for more from the quest than just money (although it was a lot).

I got a car from it. What choice did you make at the end?

Coming from the past in the thread to thank those goons for mocking that one dude into upgrading to windows10 since i was another Win7 holdout. Upgrading made this game go from barely breaking 30fps on low with big dips into the teens during combat to 45-60 fps on high settings. I5-4690k/1660 Super/24 gigs of ram for the curious. If you're getting poo poo performance like i was and are still on windows 7, try upgrading. Its free, I didn't spend anything.

Also katanas are the funnest poo poo in this game, doubly so now that its not a slideshow

What does it mean when the countdown starts and it says "Revealing Position"??? Nothing seems to happen after the it finishes.

I believe that's an enemy Netrunner locating you as a response to you basically playing like a dick just chain hacking enemies while out of sight. Supposed to make it so you can't just sit back and clear out an entire base through the cameras completely uncontested, but it does seem to take a long time to trigger and the enemy AI often doesn't actually take advantage of it to then come to your position anyways. A lot of the combat AI is pretty janky

Quick question do shops unlock more powerful things as you level or is crafting the way to go?

I remember reviewers saying the 'prologue' (in reality Act 1, the time before you have Silverhand in your head) is 5-6 hours. Well, that's if you ignore more of the content in the game, if you do the gigs and the combat areas, and use stealth, it's looking to be 20 hours. I'm 13 hours in.

Sometimes that it's bothering me it's how some skills level up. Or don't. The athletics skill, in special. While some other skills are already at level 7, athletics is still at level 1! I tried to sprint for 500 mts, I tried to do 50 jumps, I tried to beat a pair of guys with my fists, and nothing gave me xp.

From what I played of them though the gigs are just repetitive, shallow map checkbox procedures.

Which is fine but I don't really count it as quality playtime in a game like this. For reference I just hit the title card after 11 hours and felt like I was starting to stretch the open world content thin to hit that.

~3.1 full stamina bars will get you 20xp in Athletics. You can punch the air, dodge around, swing katanas, etc, and it'll eventually ding.

Guy on another forum left his game dodging into a wall overnight and came back to level 7 athletics so I'm kind of tempted to do that.

Act 1 lasted me 6 hours. I did a bunch of stuff too, but it's p.limited. I dunno why you'd hang around in act 1 for so long, there's really no need to!

Nope!

I think that quest represents what I dislike about the game.
There's no real choices, just smash it or have the right stat. That's it. Like no reason to do a second playthrough because it'd not be different sorta thing.

Can anyone tell me why I'm meant to know who Alt is? I'm kicking off at Keanu saying (mid act 2 spoiler) when were you going to tell me she was dead. I didn't even know she existed! Did I miss something??

Double jump goes higher. You can also double jump at the end of a drop from any height and save yourself from fall damage, it's OP.

CodeJanitor: Mar 30, 2005; I still can't think of anything to say.

Wish I had a recording of this. Ran into a back alley where a group of women sex workers were standing next to a pimp dressed in a full white suit with black dots and a shiny cane. The pimp was yelling at them, so I walked up and he backhand slapped one of the women, who fell to the ground crying.

One of the other women turned to me and said "This is the future".

for anybody who might know, how feasible is it that the enemy AI can get patched into something not completely braindead later down the line? not a deal breaker but it is distracting during combat

Just fight more enemy hackers who will aggro from inside the next building over and hack you through walls.

The definition of RPG is when you crank the 'skip the game' stat, you get to skip the game by cleverly raising the stat and using the obvious dialogue option.

is there eventually a perk to hack people through obstacles / from behind cover?

maybe it would make it too easy but it's weird that you need line of sight - I have to keep popping out from behind the corner like a silly goose

also I really recommend avoiding the cyberware that slows down time when you get detected - one of the most annoying and distracting "time warp" effects I've seen in a game. I made the mistake of installing it and then had to do the whole Heist mission without being able to turn it off.

A legendary ping quickhack gives you a passive that lets you hack anything that is tagged or pinged through any kind of obstacle.

Also I really like that cyberware. Usually when it goes off I've just revealed myself at melee range to a group of enemies and during that time slowdown I tear through the entire group before they can react.

I really wish this had a HUD toggle option, or at least more granular settings for everything. I don't want to stare at the yellow floating map marker the entire time!

It's definitely better with a lot of the current options turned off, but still feels weirdly limited. I'm hoping for a great mod like FriendlyHUD for Witcher 3 which did everything I could want, and nicely faded everything out of view when it wasn't relevant/until you toggled it back on again.
