I finally got to a non-Arasaka ending. The secret ending: No complaints. I decided to send V off with Alt and give ol' Johnny a second chance. It was suitably bittersweet. Felt as close to a satisfying send off for V as the game is going to give us. Typical hero sacrifices themself and passes onto the unknown sort of stuff. Nomads ending: Feels kinda silly. I don't know who Bob or the other one (Teddy?) are so I don't feel particularly anything that they got killed. Game crashed to desktop during the Adam Smasher fight. So I don't know how it ends up. I'm sorta dreading that I lost the save and have to do it all over again. Finished it. It sort of feels like a happy ending. Looks like the Arasaka ending is plain a bad choice to make.

I went nomad opening to nomad ending with female V, and going back to my own body to live out my last few months with Judy skipping night city to go nomad with me. Felt like a really good arc going from nomad roots then meeting Panam and basically hitting on her immediately and getting a polite no thank you, then that relationship just being a wonderful warm friendship and getting pulled back into the life in a new family and bringing my new hot girlfriend Judy into it at the end and riding off into the sunset, even if I probably only have a couple months before the chip kills me. I've not done any of the other endings, but that felt really cathartic and solid to me. Agree that the teddy / whoever stuff doesn't really land, and I don't know if it was because of how I progressed the rogue/johnny plots but the Adam Smasher stuff felt really empty as well, he was just a robot at the end I hacked a bunch and Johnny was already suppressed and silent at that point in my game, I had no real emotional stakes in that fight (beyond him having stomped saul's head 30 seconds earlier) Also gently caress those boxing matches, I played a sneaky hacker who was basically a wet paper towel as soon as anyone got a chance to shoot a gun or throw a punch at me. I was level 40 when I finally gave up on trying to beat them and pushed the point of no return button, and I still couldn't do more than 1% damage per hit, and all of the remaining fighters could take me out in a single punch if i made one mistake. Best i got on the arroyo sniper guy was getting him down to 40% with constant heavy punches, which took like 5 minutes at which point I missed a single punch and he kicked me once in the knee and I died. Only thing in the game I can think of that completely screws you over for being sneaky hacker

For the final boxing match you can make the guy bug out on the ropes so that he just stands on top of them stuck in his taunting animation while you beat his rear end. Only way I managed to do it. If you just nudge him around until he's elevated slightly above you the AI will glitch and his attacks will never connect again.

You don't really get anything out of those matches, iirc, so don't feel bad if you can't do them. They aren't as interesting/funny as the ones in W3 either. Edit: Ok, you do get an ugly car. And a meh sniper rifle (which you could probably take by force anyway).

Those boxing matches are so misleading because every one of them looks like it's own, new side job and they are just open world fluff crap. Like, every single boxing encounter is treated individually with the same gravity as say, the entire Judy questline. I thought I still had a slew of side jobs, and realized I am actually down to 4 total along with the dumb boxing matches and the graffiti quest. Idg why that poo poo was in the good quest log when it should have just been marked in blue on the map like all of the other trash content.

So I think I want to focus on hacking, what other attribute would synergize with an int build? From the tutorial, I don't think melee is for me - hate dodging/blocking. So probably some gun skill, or stealth...?

Don't sweat it too much and just do what you find enjoyable. The game is dying to break its spine over your knee.

So I asked this 10,000 posts ago to no avail but I'll give it another try before I get a refund. I'm playing on XBONE. After completing the prologue it seems like I can't damage enemies anymore in any encounter that's mission related. I deal headshot after headshot in a pickup mission or NCPD encounter and do ZERO damage. It registers damage but tighter enemy's health bar didn't budge. I can still kill civilians but nothing I do to enemies that are agroed does anything. I've restarted multiple times and even put this game down for a week but when I came back same thing. I even reverted to multiple previous saves post prologue and had no luck. Any ideas? I really don't want to start from scratch because I put about eight hours into this save. The only thing I can think of is starting from s scratch but if that's my only recourse I'll just wait a year and get it in the next gen after the bugs are ironed out.

Considering there are 10-15 ways to op yourself each play through I feel sorry for those that min maxed this first time round. Yeah the inventory system is borked and confusing, yeah it’s sucks when a craft spec isn’t the weapon you thought it was, but progressing organically you turn into an unstoppable beast anyway and frankly, I applaud the game for giving you so many options to do so. I can forgive the fact it’s taken me 75% through the game to understand how crafting works, or that I got halfway through before i found clothes worth wearing for more than 20 mins, cos you eventually end up with a decently unique character that I know next time through will be worthwhile in terms of a different feeling play through. Probably the biggest advantage to just keeping on good modded gear you like and finding a set of weapons that work for you and upgrading slowly is that you have to deal with the lovely ui less. I’m still using a lot of the types of weapons I found toward the early game (Lizzies pistol, Ajax assault rifle, silenced and scoped - purchased a legendary version after using a rare one for ages) paired with a smart assault rifle I got from that shooting gallery mission which accompany the projectile arms. Add in the sneaking and basic hacking and yeah you don’t exactly need to overly cheese the ai to take advantage of the situations, but the game doesn’t let you get away with being totally stupid either. It’s definitely a game not to take too seriously despite its themes. I hope that they do keep making it better because it’s a huge amount of fun, very immersive at times and certainly that Deus Ex sequel Invisible War and beyond wishes it was.

I’ve been playing for 12 hours or so and I still can’t figure out if doing an all-hacking character is viable. It sure seems like combat is built around softening enemies up with hacking so they’re easier to kill other ways. Are there some parts or skills I can buy that will enable me to just hack enemies to death left and right?

Every build feels kinda weak at first, then you reach some critical mass of perks and cyberwear and nothing can stand against your might.

I have no clue how they're going to do DLC for this. They can't take place before, they can't take place during (at least not without compounding the ludonarrative dissonance that's already pretty bad), and they can't take place after because almost all of the endings to the main quest have V either die or leave the city. If we play as a different character would it just be for DLC missions or would we be able to use them for side gigs? I assume they planned this stuff in advance but it seems like they've left themselves a huge mess with no obvious route out.

Samurai Sanders posted:So, like Witcher 3. I guess I can understand that. The perk that lets quickhack crit is what makes them get out of control. Everything else just adds to it. Maxed out mass vulnerability daemon + spread + crits means a single contagion cast will almost insta knock like... 4 enemies? Which in turn each enemy downed adds 1 ram back and also reduce the cool down so you can continually use contagion without a wait and literally clear an entire building in seconds. the second thing that absolutely breaks hacking is the legendary ping quickhack which lets you hack stuff through walls. You can get it by getting INT to 20 or save-scum on data mine ports with the perk that lets you extract quickhacks. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Dec 29, 2020 |

You can get a cheap legendary deck in Little China that is good enough for the rest of the game, and there's two more stupidly overpowered ones you can buy later if you feel like it.

It’s not like I want to go completely without combat. I just want to be pistols only, as a last resort if the hacking doesn’t work. I played a character kind of like that in Fallout NV except with negotiation instead of hacking. If you think about it, negotiation is basically hacking their brains so you get what you want.

If you actually spec into hacking nothing outside of like 1-2 bosses will live long enough for you to use guns. If you want to maintain hacks as a support tool, then INT to 14 while grabbing only the debuff and utility hacks work pretty well to shut down enemy groups so you can mop up with your weapon of choice.

Even something akin to "tales from x", where you could relive Mitch and Scorpion puttering around in an APC during the Latam wars, or similar stuff.

What ludo narrative dissonance? The games takes place over days and you have weeks to live. You’re gonna die, but there’s time. There are many natural pause points in the main quests where V has to wait for someone to call, or wait for an externally scheduled event to happen, or lay low for awhile. I mean, the game plays fast and loose with time, so you can beeline the main quests and have these event happen one after the other. But I keep coming across new moments when the game opens up and implies now would be a good time for side gig.
