I like this idea. But it should be more...gradual. At first, there are changes in the dialogues options and C&C system. Then something more like to the "Trevor rampage missions" in GTA V. Then, what you said. A lot of allucinations that try to mess up with you.
But all of this should even be related to the intelligence stat.
It's not easy, but way better than "the player just lose the control of his character".

Maybe...there could be an augmentation that allows you to check your mental health.
maybe there can be an augmentation to prevent from getting cyberpsychosis
I would really hate CDPR if they do something like this. It would be like taking the easiest way to avoid a problem that would require a huge amount of brainstorming sessions.
Best way to not develop cyberpsychosis is to avoid being augmented. The idea of having an augmentation that would help prevent it is pretty self defeating. The idea of a 'mental health' mobitor is not terrible, in 2020 there is a monitor for life signs and such, I see no reason why a 'brainwave interpreter' couldnt work.
@chriswebb2020.736 @moonknightgog I mean mybe there is an optional high level augmentation later in the game that prevents from getting cyberpsychosis, like the runes in hearts of stone expansion, for item durability 100% or 100% quen or 100% poisoning invulnerability in viper armor,
I'm not talking about an "already included in the character from the beginning of the game" augmentation,
don't worry, I'm sure the cyberpsychosis will be present and will be an important gameplay mechanic/effect

Oh, ok. I misunderstood, I was thinking to some kind of cheap explanation for the lack of cyberpsychosis. Like...nanomachines in MGS.
But wat you propose...I'm afraid it would destroy the balance of the gameplay. The psychosis is also a way to prevent the player to get all the augmentations and become a god.
I played a game of Cyberpunk where such a thing happened. The DM was letting people do dumb stuff with their characters, the game got real boring afterwards with half the team running around as metal gods breaking everything by looking at it. Only me and 2 other guys kept our characters simple with simple augments.
maybe some augmentations are not compatible, like if you have armour, can't be super fast, or can see through walls, can't hear through walls, incompatibilites can als prvent to get all the augmentations and become a cybergod, but we are worring too much, cyberpsychosis will be in the game and play a major part
Yep, the whole reason cyberpsychosis exists in the first place is to make a player choose what augmentations are most valuable/useful to them. You can't get them all, and if you could game balance would go right out the window as mentioned above.
Now if you want to play a game where you're a god-like being, be my guest, but most of us prefer to have to pick and choose.

But the threat of going over the edge is meant to be there to cap how much cyber you can handle. It's a semi-hard limiter. If there is such an augmentation it should be a behaviour chip which should basically make you a pacifist who loves people and hates violence. An anit-punk.

I love you Redge.
Sard! Do some work and splice this mofo in will ya? Don't make me get [strike]Big[/strike] Dragon Bird to crack the whip!
There actually is such a chip in the game, though it doesn't turn you into a pacifist. The Dragoon Full-Body Conversion has such a massive Humanity cost, that it requires a behavioral chip which inhibits the borg's emotions and free will to such a degree that it essentially turns the borg into an almost mindless automaton.
A combinations of behaviour/thought inhibitor programming built into the onboard processor and a bank of psychoactive drugs which leave the user thinking and acting like a robot, literal minded and without personality.
Yeah, fantastic addition that would be to your cyberware package...
I always played that as basically turning over your character to the GM for the duration of your time in the Dragoon FBC. It really isnt a long term option. It's like calling a labotomy a cure of ADHD.
Pretty much. According to the book, it's a total nightmare for those who have to endure it too.
Resurrecting a basically dead thread, I had a thought (yeah I know ... dangerous things to have).
Humanity is basically defined as your ability to relate to your fellow human beings, i.e. empathy.
Cyberpsychosis is a loss of that empathy to the point human interactions irritate you to the point of rage.
Psychopathy is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and remorse, and dis-inhibited or bold behavior.
So would a true psychopath be susceptible to cyberpsychosis?
