I was a big dreamer. What was your dream?

[GethroShepard]

I had a dream.

I dreamed of an open world in a cyberpunk world letting you be what you want and walking the path to be a legend.

I dreamed to be a heavy militarized cyborg and work for Militech, crushing the other corpos under massive firepower to win the struggle of power.

I dreamed to be a Inspector Harry-like cop, using heavy strengh to put the gangs under a semblance of control.

I dreamed to be a freelance Netrunner, shadowy merc that goes inside tightly guarded places and leaving without a trace but the pockets full of loot.

I dreamed to be all of this alongside a sidekick. A guy or a woman I can choose, upgrade with armor, cybernetics and take along to a bar to cheers after a hard work.

For 8 years I dreamed of something like that. Be a legend in a cyberpunk world with a friend who could even become your lover.

And I become the ghost of a dead legend in the end...

And you? What do you dreamed of?

 

[_Fender_]

I dreamed of waking up and accepting reality.

 

[ShadowAssassinxxx]

I dreamed of more customization especially character creator

Spoiler: Why I spoiler this?

I dreamed of my male V can romance with Oda and "fencing"(you know what I mean) with him

 

[Mebrilia]

To have an rpg worth of the pen and paper it comes from.. That was my dream.

 

[Don_the_brawler]

I dreamed of working a 9 to 5 job at the Cherry Blossom Market.

I dreamed of one day riding a roller coaster.

I dreamed of one day trying every flavor of nicola.

I dreamed of one day riding the subway home after a long day of work without fear of my gun malfunctioning or getting robbed or killed.

I dreamed of one day having a pet.

I dreamed of one day dying of old age surrounded by family and friends. I don't need my soul transferred In another body. Immortality is kinda overrated plus i can't afford it with my wage.

I dreamed of one day visiting that self defence class or the gun range more often.

I dreamed of one day meeting Ziggy Q, and getting a autograph hopefully.

"I WAS A BIG DREAMER. WHAT WAS YOUR DREAM?"

I dreamed of Corona, and everything related to Corona forever out of the world.
I dreamed of all lockdowns in all countries forever lifted.
I dreamed of all shops, stores, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. forever open again.
I dreamed of never again having to wear a facemask, and/or keep distance from other people.
I dreamed of Joe Biden lifting all sanctions against China so I can buy a brand new Huawei phone with Google apps as a standard.
I dreamed of winning 2 million Euros so I never have to work again.
I dreamed of dev-teams considering all views of perspectives in their games, and no longer counting parts of the player base out.
I dreamed of a way higher maximum speed allowed.
I dreamed of porn producers no longer censoring girl-girl vids.
I dreamed of censorship in games was never invented.
I dreamed of toning down of (over)sexualized female characters in games was never a thing.

Guess I'll keep dreaming...

 

[AlienSpaceBats]

I dreamt of razorgirls hunting cyberpsychos, Netrunners cooking gonks synapses, breaking up illegal "recycled" cyberware ops... and then shitting in the shoes of some really powerful corps.

 

[Atletikus]

I dreamt of getting quickhacks from access points and about weapons with modifiers to criticals. Then I woke up to reality.

 

[Krul2k]

I dreamed i got this new mod load order in skyrim to work right, pesky gfx mods

 

[hulkman2456]

I dreamed of character creator like Saints Row. Than gained access to all the body mods the gangs have. Then I woke up to sadness.

 

[Guest 3847602]

Pretty similar to what we ended up getting, plus lifepaths having greater influence on the story (more exclusive quests and characters you already have established relationships with; something like recurring side-story). And a minigame or two.

 

[Mybrokenenglish]

A game released when it was ready, as it was promised many times.

 

[mbrto]

[Mentos3]

Being a journalist, with secret hacking skills, bringing the establishment to the ground.
Ended up in a medicore Far Cry-Style FP-Shooter and transporting KR from A to B.
(Yes, at the beginning they said there will be totally new classes f.e.)

 

[darksharke]

Oh I do like imaginative, thinking thread concepts like this... well done

I dreamed of waking in V’s Mansion in a variable 1st/ 3rd person world, to look out on a cyberpunk city that seemingly never slept. A world of rain, fog, toxic fumes, glaring neon reflecting from glistening, teeming streets where no individual ever looked the same, these denizens reacting to their environment as it happens, whether it be with guns, neon umbrellas, a witty or belligerent phrase, a mob attack, an impulsive kiss or a rude gesture.

I envisaged ‘5th Element’ air taxis, flying cars, airborne food carts and ad vendors jostling for sky space, with hurtling sky traffic on breakneck near-collision courses and the occasional falling debris from a fatal crash.

I wished to be riding a precarious path through a speeding sea of motorcyles, hoverboarding teen freaks and auto driving cabs in kamikaze traffic, evading cops pursuing by road and air, shooting from the seat or wielding a ‘Black Rain’ katana on a roaring motorcycle. I imagined cruising along a suburban highway in a convertible custom built replica 1937 SS100 Jaguar with a holographic girlfriend, speeding along dark waters in a covert stealth boat, diving for hidden secrets and underwater adventures in the depth of Night City’s rivers, and piloting V’s ‘flying car’ onto rooftop landing pads amidst the neon skyline.

I longed for bespoke body size, height and texture alteration for a truly ‘one-off’ persona, unlimited new fashion creation, visual tech augmentation, more inbuilt weaponry, custom shop unique vehicles, colour changing cars and bikes, jetpacks, nightwings, ‘Mission Impossible’ style climbing kit for aerial heists, spy gear and ninja weaponry.

I visualised ‘eating’ street food, cruising bars, casinos and clubs and being able to interact; drink, dance, romance as an animated consumer. I had visions of vanity cosmetic shops, bespoke weapon dealers, underground crafters, buying spectacular properties, creating bespoke decor, renting a robot butler or installing personal terminals, importing art and buying furnishing items. I saw holograms 'glitter in the dark' offering me goods, services or companions, weapons, cars and luxury experiences.

I desired to just sit anywhere on a bench, chair or surface, to watch the world go by, but face constant random risks and encounters, some peaceful, some not, walking past opportunities unaware or being ‘caught out’ by sudden hazards or propositions, and needing to make life changing decisions.

I fantasised a supercharged adult world of sensation with the highs and lows of sensual interactions, acting on impulse with passing NPC fancies, consequences, risks and thrills. I imagined uninhibited adult entertainment, visual and sensory indulgences, virtual adventures and a huge choice of 'illicit' experiences.

I dreamed to choose my own path, to freely explore, with no end or fixed storyline, face a challenging ever-changing world, make alliances, enemies, friends and lovers, devoid of interference or limit, do or die, determine my own future, write my own story to live long and prosper.

 

[Spectral_Warrior]

I dreamed of being a Nomad and roamed the badlands.
I dreamed of scrounging for my precious materials and make a set of unique powerful weapons with which I'd take on the world.
I dreamed of getting some heart to hearts with my fellow Nomads and feel like being part of close family that would always have a home for me.
I dreamed of the bright neon holo's in the distance that are Night City and wonder what that place would be like.
My dream shows a redhead that is unlike any other gaming heroine and so 'V' becomes a special character to me.
I dreamed of having a small portable radio I scavenged, and got up and running, and drift away on the tunes of epic music.
I dreamed of finding that unlikeliest of allies that would become a beacon in V's life.
I still dream ... sometimes of that redhead and wonder what such life would really be.


Safe to say this game carries me into another reality, gladly so.

 

[Bloodartist]

Live as a mercenary in the streets of Night City.

Little did I know..

 

[CulannHS]

i dreamed of real Netrunning like the old Cyberpunk 2020 book describes, complete with cyberdecks, tons of special gadgets to go along with the cyberdecks, and the software listed in the Rache Bartmoss compedium books on Netrunning. Gibsonesque..travelling in cyberspace. Being your own version of Rache Bartmoss or Case in the cyber world. Or even..something like out of "Trouble and her Friends". Instead, the reality was script-kiddy quickhacking.

Anyone ever realize that with a Malduino and a bit of experience, plus a retractable USB cable you too can be a "cyberpunk" quick hacker?

 

[Andes_Attack_Mk2]

Did I dream I dreamed about you? Well, no, but I did dance to that very funky tune, and I did dream that one day the western world at large would wake up from their dreams and realise it was allowing itself to be engineered into being a demanding spoilt-rotten society that was sleep-walking its way into non-existence whilst not caring to notice. And then I realised I wasn't dreaming at all, I was just sat here typing this, whilst wondering why elite sport continues in the midst of a global pandemic and musing upon my own personal hypocrisy of overlooking that to wonder how United were getting on. Then I turned my PS4 on and remembered just what a lucky lucky boy I am, and then I started to daydream of a world where second-hand copies of Silent Hill 4 for PS2 weren't so damned expensive. Then I remembered it's all a ride.
