I couldn't care less for more romancing, joytoys and genitals customization. There are other... genres... for that kinda thing. I also do not care about driving. Caliburn and that sports limo for 200k drive okay. It's a good incentive to get better. Also, walk button, PEOPLE PLEASE! Holding the aim button makes you walk. Such requests are turning attention away from what's really important.

Also, darts, hunting, etc. don't care. Though I wouldn't say no to in-game hold'em with the gangs and corpo bigwigs - since there is no Gwent in CP... Barbershop, tatoos, couldn't care less. I never waste time for such cosmetics anyway, and it's a fpp game so I couldn't care less bout the color of the beard. You face don't even show in the dialogues. I don't really care abut the police. It's not GTA, you're a merc not a criminal. Though it has to be said that these elements are pathetically poor for a game advertised as open world.

What is missing from the game IMO is:

1. More variety of enemies. This is number one. 99% of the enemies is your regular one-shottable "guy with a gun." Also, upscaled enemies. Minibosses. More big bosses, too. Special wincon enemies like in Doom (with removable body parts which does affect their performance). But most importantly more health. All the gadgets have no use if you one-shoot everything.

2. More variety of grindable encounters. All there is to grinding loot right now: "kill them all and sometimes press a button, sometimes optionally don't let the alarm go off." Gigs are not much better: "sometimes drive off in a car or leave the area with an escort (meaningless when everyone is dead anyway.)" There should be random generated minibosses a'la badass enemies from Borderlands. There should be no-kill missions. There should be traps and ambushes. Strictly hacking encounters. Cyberspace encounters. Targetted hits on a person without killing anyone else. Regular encounters with additional conditions for extra rewards (like a timer or something, or ghost reward (total stealth without leaving a trace likea body). Car chases and shootouts outside the scripted main mission ones. Lotsa more.

3. Fixed mechanics. That is non-lethality. Broken perks. Broken mods. Miscalculated bonuses resulting in out-of-whack dmg. Dmg types having their functions. Quickhack godmode. Stupidly banal stealth. Many more.

4. AI. I don't care about NPC poses or driver AI so much, imo these are just cosmetics (though it's really kinda pathetic that this was done way better in Los Santos decades ago). But enemy AI is horrendous. They don't even flank like they should.

5. Hacking. Outside the main plot interactive cutscenes, there is no playable cyberspace? In a CYBERPUNK game? This is... shameful.

No DLC, just fix the game first. Then expand the features that make this game more replayable and immersive and not too boring after finishing it. I could imagine raid like areas to get some action for your high level character. Racing shouldnt be only a side quest but something you can attend regularly.
 
Free DLC will be what they usually are - cosmetics, minor features and additional minor story content. I guarantee you it's not going to be fixes or most wanted additions to the game. DLCs are planned beforehand and most likely were developed before the release of the game. If you're expecting anything else, it means you have no clue how games are developed and how these things work.

It doesn't mean they won't be releasing extra patches on top of free DLCs, but it's separate stuff. Anyone expecting major changes to systems or story, should wait at least till the second half of 2021. And only if CDPR really commits to that. It's really funny to read these absurd deadlines like till February-March that nobody can meet even if they tried. Any substantial change will take at the very least half a year.
 
I think they will do one of more of these:
1. More difficulty levels
2. Ways to change your hairstyle/body
3. Ways to change color of your cars
4. Maybe one or two mini-quests
 
What I want... Hm better say what I was waiting for
-proper AI
-Gang wars and choose sides (for example prior of release I decided I will be loyal to nomads, on good relations with Valentino and use as much as I can militech and netwatch.. Remember the video about netwatch agent decision?)
-on a future dlc to be able to open a store
-the inventory to be restricted so I would have to carry backup weapons and equipment in the trunk (remember the video sawing the trunk... Hell now I am walking around like a cargo ship)
-on a future dlc to be a cop or PI (actually NCPD to be a different faction (is mention on the mission with River)
-More weapons less random statistics, (there are times a common making more damage than legendary iconic) and the iconics to be an upgraded version of the same weapon with unique properties (half the iconics I got are disassembled in order to craft better weapons, also mentioned on promo video)
-deep dive on Web dlc like another altered version of NC with its own unique dangers and things to discover... I am the best net runner in the city and I cannot deep dive (also partially sawn on promo videos)
-real life activities eat piss sleep
-vehicles to be more realistic (bullet holes, flat tires, customizable. This also mentioned multiple times)
And don't start about meaningful choices l. I spent 150 hours in case I find something and don't start I was quarantined at home with corona virus and I didn't have anything else to do... Imagine all the companies who postponed their releases because of CP... Lol

yes! I want to be a detective, scanning environments, going through brain dances, questioning NPCs, car chases, foot races, shootouts, stakeouts, the works!
