Hey,
what's interesting to me is how CDPR designed CP's "alternative" future in the year 2077.
Stuff like:
- corporations owning everything and so being more powerful than the government
- ecology - storms, dried areas, toxic water, all animals dead,...
- society - nomads, city gangs, individuals, corps, street kids,...
- net - crazy virtual space full of dead, undead, non-living, living,...fun for the whole family
- space - casino on orbit, (aliens?),...?
- life - homeless people, unhealthy food, murders & crimes & torturing,...
What gets me every time is the note when the game is starting, something along the lines:
"The authors do not identify themselves with the vision of the game".
Sure, they only read it, thought about it, played the PnP, studied it, and created the game.
I get there can be/is a difference, but the line feels cheap, just to get along with rating agencies
On the other hand, imagine the real world to be like the CP one.
You wake up, brush your teeth, then an armed helicopter flies the area. You get dressed, eat breakfast, hear a few shots,...
Then you pick your backpack and go to work. On the way - corp, prostitute, nomad, BD scroller, monk, microwave, and drugged visionary ask you to drop the job and join them on a quest for freedom
