I think it's more interesting to see a cinematic kill and then maybe the shock from the people around you, rather than just pulling your gun and start shooting, where everyone else isn't likely to react with any surprise other than starting combat too - the scripting for the alternative would be complicated.
Just imagine though that you're sitting in a chair having a passive aggressive argument and then all of a sudden you pop your mantis blades out and end them, then dialogue continues normally with others in the room. That's mostly the kind of situation I'm wondering about. Plus, considering it's an RPG and there are health pools, it wouldn't be something so simple as an instant kill normally.
I mean if you can pull a gun, your only one click away from shooting them since dialogues are not separate from gameplay usually.Well I know we can pull a gun all threatening-like, but was there any mention of situations where you just pop someone off mid-dialogue cause it was going that way, or is it a choice to just draw your weapon whenever you want and start the fight that way?
I think it will be more of a dialogue option then just pulling out a gun using the attack button/trigger. I do remember the devs saying you could pull out you gun during conversations which idk if they were talking about a dialogue option or just being able to.
It would be interesting to be able to pull out a gun any time during conversations and just popping a guy/girl for being a dick or lying like pop in the leg.. "oh sorry sweetheart do we have you attention now?" I'm lending more toward it being just a dialogue option over just pulling your gun out anytime you please and shot anyone in that conversation. Would be cool and interesting to see the impact it would have on your story, but ether way Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be amazing!!!
I guess the key question is: which NPCs are invulnerable to guns due to being essential to the story.I mean if you can pull a gun, your only one click away from shooting them since dialogues are not separate from gameplay usually.
V only appears as a junkie if you go street kid path.V is a junkie as far I know, its most likely the NPCs wanna put their gun on your head instead. Ive a feeling its just the opposite. This game is gonna be disappointment for those who wanna be some egoistic-gun-holding-power dude.
