Diversions.
Since this is an open world game, it's possible CDPR will employ some type of filler activity to engage in between shooting up evil Corporates and taking out Booster gangs. Filler... an ugly word. But it''s not all bad. Most games have it and when done right and in moderation, filler can extend your stay in an interesting world without becoming banal. Mind you this is not where I want the focus of the game to be, and if they don't have it at all, no problem. So those against it say nay and say why. As long as we get a rich SP game, I'm fine either way. But this thread is expressly about activities we can do just for the hell of it, to experience Night City to the fullest. First, some examples of bad filler:
-traveling to outposts in the Mako in ME1. Blatant and lifeless filler.
-planet scanning in ME2. Anyone who has suffered through this..I'm sorry. Really. There are support groups out there. You can recover.
-lock picking in Oblivion.
-hacking in Fallout 3.
-dating, dart throwing, strip clubs, shooting pigeons in GTA4.
Now for some decent to good filler:
-dice in TW1
-boxing in TW2.
-professor Genki's SERC in SR3
-hacking in DX:HR
-the delivery missions in SR3. And the one where you're in a chopper, shooting cars with a rocket launcher. That one too.
-the classic arcade game in SC2. This was a cool idea.
-pit fighting in Sleeping Dogs.
Some ideas for CP 2077. This will be ongoing as I think new shit up:
-illegal drug and aug deals, be it on the streets or in clubs. Ideal for Fixers.
-track down illegal dealers as a Cop.
-access to vintage arcade cabinets where CDPR could do fun spoofs on classic games.
-pit fighting, a la Sleeping Dogs.
-drinking minigame.
-artifact recovery a la Dishonored. You have to find old 20th century relics scattered throughout the city. Buying the right tech will help you locate it and sell to antique dealers.
-hitman. Ideal for Solos.
-missing persons. Locating people sold to slave trade and rescuing them from hideouts.
Anyway, if you guys have ideas list em' here.
