I have a bone to pick with the quest "I fought the law" where you and River meet some ruffians in an alleyway. He tells you to let him "handle it" but all that happens is that he stands there saying nothing while the thugs give me poo poo. They even tell you to jump and if you don't, there will be a fight and River is mad because I didn't let him handle it. THEN HANDLE IT! Hell if I'm gonna let some morons make me jump while you stand there like a totem pole. I expected him to say "hey don't give poo poo to my friend here" but nothing! If you don't jump it's a fight. That was such a weird sequence IMO.

e: Okay, I just realized that the proper way to handle it was to completely stay silent :D I guess the game expectations made me think I _have_ to chime in.

Epic Mk. III healing vapes do not require purple materials to craft but dissemble into purple materials, once you buy recipe from a medical vendor you essentially can convert green and blue items into purple crafting materials and it out needing the talent which is how I’ve been able to craft, curate, and customize every gun in my load out since basically the beginning of act II. I’m pretty sure this works with grenades too but the healing Vape recipe seems way easier to find

shh, don't mention it in the thread. comte's looking!

Is there a downside to doing gigs/random enemy encounters lethaly (except for missing out on the crazy 350€ bonuses)?

I've been doing this thing where I choke out enemies and then shoot them in the head because it gives double XP and street cred. Does this influence anything in the long run?

Nope the fixers will complain and then never talk about it again.

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/12/15/cyberpunk-2077-has-too-many-dildos-will-patch-some-of-them-out/

So, the story, as far as I can tell is:

1. Someone added dildos to the "junk" loot table so they showed up everywhere in the world, in the pre-release version of the game
2. Reviewers, playing the pre-release version, comment that there sure are a lot of dildos
3. Someone realizes "Oh my god, I left loving dildos everywhere!"
4. Loot tables get updated, dildos removed from random loot in the version 1.0.3 Day One Patch
5. Game gets released with a perfectly appropriate amount of dildos and other sex toys in appropriate places
6. Some high level CDPR executive sees the original articles, written based on pre-released code, decides "We need less dildos!"
And soon: 7. Dildos are now nowhere, not even where they are supposed to be, like in sex shops

after investing a bit in punching, and gorilla arms, and then running around various cyberdocs i've kinda found the cyberware system pretty disappointing. do vendor items scale with your level? it's kinda bizarre how the damage between my blue gorilla arms and legendary ones is 10% damage, for something that costs $75k more.

Is there any "trap" in getting Gorilla Arms on my hacker/pistol/stealth V? I'm not interested in any other arms and I figure it could help me break into places, and maybe help with the cyberpsychos? Are Gorilla Arms non lethal?

You can just shoot the cyberpsychos with regular, lethal guns. It doesn't kill them. I've been fighting them the same way I fight everybody, hacking and shooting them with my lmg or shotgun.

Yeah there’s multiple times where not saying anything is another option, and I think pulling your gun out can take some conversations down a new path as well

The funny part of the dildo saga is that it seems there are just as many distinct fully modeled dildos as there are junk items you can interact with, even if the loot table is fixed up. Wonder who was given the task of researching and designing the dildos. CDPR you kinky freaks.

That’s crazy because there are so many different models of dildo I would be pretty bummed if all those animation assets just got tanked but yeah there were dildos littering every surface on launch and I was just like “ok this is the future” :cool:

ok this game is pretty fun but a lot of the bugs are pretty :goonsay: immersion breaking. heres my nitpicks

driving in the badlands, you can see cars in the distance but they keep getting culled the closer you get. there are no other cars on the road outside of Night City
falling through the earth multiple times
getting in an enclosed area where you cant get out of it, needing to reload
running over junk in the badlands junkyard and just loving dying
cars handle like absolute dogshit
cops spawn out of nowhere
enemies are grossly overleveled to you or so easy they dont even matter
getting phone calls while you are in quest conversations with other NPCs, so you have a double conversation going on. very annoying
Panam downing the Kangtao AV with an imaginary rocket launcher, then when she gets back in the car she is holding it in her hands and driving

idk its ok though?

You can romance her as male character. Also killing the Maelstromers gives you an iconic gun as well as a smart sniper rifle. You can also save Brick, but I don't know if he shows up at the Totentanz instead of Royce. Shame about Boom Boom, the first guy you talk to during the mission, cause he's a cool dude and also returns during Totentanz.

Compared to the Scavs or Tygerclaws the Maelstromers are almost decent people.

Maybe it's platform specific? I've seen maybe one or two dildos outside sex shops and they were in context correct places, not (NSFW) outside V's apartment sitting on the floor like all other junk but I'm playing the Steam version.

I also see Cohh found a "Pipe" junk item earlier, which I also don't remember seeing in my own game.

Also the backpack inventory screen is such a cluttered mess with random quest items and quest triggers that are not hidden (like things with no icons or things that look like crumpled up paper wads that have no description or lighters that you use in specific cinematics that you can't sell off as junk).

Yeah i enjoy it alot. Plus the gigs let me flex how baddass i am and it never gets old. I barely put any points into quickhacks and im finding the ai pathing is fine...like enemies will go up ladder to sttack if i have the high ground and stuff. I like the assaults too and its always neat to read the log about how things escalated to that point. Also aimlessy driving around from night city to the badlands while listening to that chill as hell grimes song is a mood.
