Hey "choombas",
With all the recent debate and talk about the release of this game...
... why don't we ponder about the next game? Unless it's written in stone already, this topic could also help generate ideas for content for the devs as they plan and tackle the next game over time. To spell it out, your feedback could possibly influence parts of the next game!
What could be the scenarios, plots, protagonists, places?
What would personally interest you and what not so much?
What would personally interest you and what not so much?
My own suggestion or possible prediction of a new main plot:
1) War!
Reason I made the thread is watching a Let's Play of the game after taking a break, before perhaps doing a new run. The person, in the prologue, read a note that talks about the "Reunification War", giving you some detail about that event in time. In a nutshell, the fractured US went to war with itself (with corporations involved): New United States (of) America (NUSA) vs the Free States.
Near the end, the article ends with predictions saying there is a very high chance that a new conflict will escalate until 2080. Thus, around the corner, basically! Would a war time scenario interest you?
I think it would at least provide an angle into a new plot with drama as well. Away from (just) the streets and survival onto a new form of survival at least, and seeing a new spin in the 3D Cyberpunk world: A war scenario not just with pure battles and engagements but anything evolving around it: Espionage, political influence, information war, drama in-between and trying to help either side gain a decisive victory?
I'm not asking for a Call of Duty, but if done right it's one of the scenarios that provide enough "action" (figuratively and literally) and to add a new spin on things. I believe this would be better suited for its own game rather than a limited DLC.
2) Continuation of more covered themes of the base game: The Net, AIs, Alt, Corporations, power struggles .... Space?
To get away from a more conflict focused main plot, the game out right now already provides a few other implications. The game has sections already that heavily hint at a more artificial adversary or threat. The Black Wall. If you played through that part, you know what I mean and what was referenced.
But perhaps it is also something more human: Corporations going at each other, perhaps a more corporate oriented conflict and power struggle, including new world spaces and areas beyond Earth or in other parts of the globe, at least.
Perhaps Europe that is (as I heard as Cyberpunk novice) notably different in many ways compared to the US. Or the soviet block.
3) Something else!
Maybe something else? The scenarios above also don't account the fact whether we get to see either of those or something else with the protagonist from this game, V - or maybe a new protagonist?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now's your turn. What could be possible? Was something already hinted at heavily? What would you like and dislike to see?
Have at it, possibly influence parts of the next game with your solid arguments!
