Let's face it, we're all to the stage of grief where we're starting to put out our own stories. It's like how we all started telling our own version of the Clone Wars after The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. However, one of the things I really think was a missed opportunity in this game was the complete lack of development to V's apartment.
Weird, huh?
However, I was just thinking of THE OUTER WORLDS and how it was a pretty bare bones apartment in your ship that, nevertheless, started filling up with trophies of completed missions and it occurred to me that there's so much that could have been done in the apartment that would have made it more interesting. Way back in SAINTS ROW 2, you had a nightclub that started as a complete shithole but as you completed the game became one of the most badass clubs in the world. One thing I really liked about Cyberpunk 2077 is also the Cat Quest.
So he's a bunch of things I think the game could benefit from relating to V's apartment:
* Get them to be able to fucking sleep right. The animation is worse than just clicking on the bed.
* The opportunity to pay V's rent for a month. Don't introduce the landlord saying you're behind due to coma without actually adding a bill to pay. Make it a hot woman or guy to offer sex to if you want to be weird about it.
* I think the game could really benefit from some FALLOUT 3 design philosophy. One of the things I loved about decorating my run down shack was buying themes from Moira that related to 1950s, Mad Science, Love Machine, Survivalist, and Raider (the corpses suspended from wires makes me wonder about Moira). You could do the same with three very basic ones:
1. Nomad: hubcabs on the wall, Aldecado merchandise, and generally a country and Western/Mad Max theme.
2. Corpo: Slick, rich, and Peralez-esque with its richness despite living in Watson.
3. Street Kid: A sort of salvaged second-hand urban look that is similar to Jackie's place.
You could maybe insert more themes if you have the time like Mox, Valentinos, Maelstrom, Militech, or Arasaka. These seem like the kind of free DLC that everyone would love.
To go full Fallout 3, have you buy them from Claire because I like Claire and she should have a bigger role in the game.
* MORE trophies from V's various completed quests. A little toy cyberpsycho who looks like Robocop if you beat Cyberpsycho Sightings, a boxing poster on the wall if you won Beat on the Brat, a UFO toy if you completed the Peralzes mission, a gift from Randy if you helped River and so on. There's some already but not enough, IMHO.
* A Shard in the gun room that lists all of the guns to complete your gun stash collection and what level they have to be.
* The ability to store clothes in your Wardrobe separately from your gun stash. I hated having to go to the gun room every time I wanted to stash things when there's a wardrobe at the beginning.
* Why is there no option to pet kitty?
What do you guys think?
