That's because consoles and cloud gaming are money grabber things and wants families to play with every game in the market. Annoying ESRB range is one of the worst things in gaming and is always supported by mainstream platforms. That's why devs self-censored the game.

You would assume lifepaths would actually make an impact on the story too.There Will be Three Cyberpunk 2077 Life Paths Available In-Game

Well luckily people in this thread managed to convince me once more that this game is a lost cause to me!
What's the good point in that leak ? Censorship ruined another game ?
It does. My Nomad V had several points where characters commented on her lifepath. It also regularly impacts dialogue, which is how a lot of the story is flavored. It doesn't impact anything mechanically, or limit paths through the story, but it would be pretty lame in my opinion if the first choice in character creation locked progress through certain parts of the story. The different backgrounds are a story flavor tool. Which is what we were told.
That cut content is intended to make it back into the game
I am personally actually in favor of locked content depending on your character creation choices. I have no issues with certain paths being locked for certain lifepaths if it means other are opened up.
That's fair. I could actually get behind it too (kinda like how NPC romance preferences are impacted by voice and body type - which I like), but I also get why a developer wouldn't want to lock entire quests or paths behind a character creation choice.
I don't really see why they wouldn't. I mean in witcher 2 they essentially split the game in half.
Cause they got a bunch of negative feedback for locking players out of content. It was a whole thing.
How did they lock them out tho? I don't understand that complaint. Both's paths were very well developed story paths that worth a replay.
Let the rage and dissapointment comsume you.
Quite frankly, I couldn't care less for all the combat features. I just want a proper RPG experience. I don't care for looter shooter games at all.
I mean, I agree. I didn't really get it either. If you go back and find the poll about it for Cyberpunk, I'm fairly confident I said I hope we can't do everything in one game. I like consequences generally speaking. But it was most certainly a gripe that players were locked out of Act 2 content based on Ioverth / Roche choice in Act 1 and I get not wanting to have consequences for content in game from a choice made before you really know the character at all. EDIT: In TW2 at least those choices are more informed about what I think "my Geralt" would do. We make the lifepath choice before we really know V at all.
I agree with you. And you definitely can't please everyone. But that is the beauty of RPG games imho, the choice to experience the story one way, then in another playthrough have the option to experience a very different outcome, consequence.
