My version of V spent the entire game running around with a large hammer, one-shotting every enemy in sight. There were only a handful of battles when I had to pull out a ranged weapon to take out a drone gun or out-of-reach sniper.
Never bothered with any of the hacking or other techy stuff.
Depends on the difficulty i suppose. My first char was a max power and max reflex playing on medium difficulty and could pretty much kill everyone with one katana swing at about lv 40 but got bored.
So with my second char i went full on int then will go power and reflex. My goal is to make int 20, power 20, reflex 18, tech 8, cool 5. This way i miss only one perk point but unlock almost all of the best perk. Sure i lose a lot of the cold blood stuff, like 2% crit chance and 30% crit damage but i guess it's worth it.
It's not like it matter really. Because i chose to play at max difficulty and struggled in the beginning with quick hacking but at about lv 20 i could basically cheese bosses from afar. But now at lv 35 i think i broke the game. Like if in the beginning i could rely as last resort on the tranquilizer dart to kill any red skull enemy, but i t was still pretty difficult to not get hit by any bullet and die in one or two shots. Now with the passive from the legendary Short Circuit quick hack i can pretty much kill anyone with any gun i have. My base crit chance says 71% if it's not broken. But i tend to use weapons with pretty high crit chances too. So basically most of my shots are crits. Like Beating the Brat, specially with Rhino where i was struggling with my first char even with Gorilla Arms. I had to level up pretty much until i was able to get her. Wit the netrunner char, with bare hands i killed ehr pretty easily while i was lower level too, like just enough to not die in one hit.
The issue i found there at the Animals gym is that after i won i could access the melee shop but after some time after i leveld up many times, when i wanted to buy something from there everyone seems to be aggro and is attacking me if i enter the now again restricted zone where the shop is. Not to mention that it seems that everyone is still under the effects of my mass blinding daemon from when i breached their network way way in the beginning when i basically beat Rhino. I'm seeing many this kind of issues, with quests too, showing as failed but when reloading the game i can continue it. Like the one with the depressed police officer, i went home to make the shooting quest and remembered that i had this quest on too and had to check on that guy, but whe i looked on the journal it was missing from active and showed as failed. I reloaded last auto save from after finishing the shooting quest and that mission was no active again. I'm afraid the game is a mess and the more i play i think the issues are more visible, like it breaks because of the changes i make in the world. But not only, like i had to finish a quest by taking a key access form a guard but the guard spawned in a wall. I reloaded and then it was inside the room i was supposed to open with his keycard. That one stayed like that no matter how many times i was reloading or driving far away to maybe make them reset. I had to reload an older save before starting that quest. Not to mention that at the end, the person i had to escort out was almost not wanting to move out. Weird that i made this quest with the other char before and everything was without any issue.
