I just finished the game, and wow! Just blown away. From the amazing story to the first rate voice acting, along with the incredible in game immersion factor...this game made me feel like I've actually been living in Night City for the past week and a bit that I've been playing. Tons of choices, multiple paths to the end. I actually had to THINK about which way I wanted to go in this game multiple times. My first V is a male Streetkid Netrunner. For my second playthrough I'm gonna go with a female Corpo Solo (or in Shadowrun terms, a Street Samurai - specifically a Razorgirl - focused on melee combat implants). I'm excited to see how that will change the story based on the choices I will make from her perspective instead of a Netrunner.

Sad to hear you say that. But then the point of an RPG game is not what the game gives you. It's about YOU playing the role. Create a character in your head, and make choices according to that role. That is why it is called a roleplaying game. In game character mechanics are just that, mechanics. They have very little to do with the role.
The problem is, this game is not an RPG. It has some elements of RPG, but that's about it. Even CDPR stopped advertising it as an RPG.
On the surface is not a bad story, but when you start to dig deeper, it's a mediocre story at best and a bad Cyberpunk story.
98% of the choices you are provided don't do a thing. V is already pr-established and you as player are just along the ride watching the delivery of dialogs and motion capture performances.
