"Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future — Night City. You play as V, a hired gun on the rise, who just got their first serious contract. In a world of cyberenhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners and corporate life-hackers, today is your first step to becoming an urban legend. "
That is disappointing if it's set, I thought one of the main things about Cyberpunk was that we were going to be able to make our own characters now, play the class we want to. Cyberpunk has so many wildly different and varied classes and characters it would suck to be forced into playing a set protag.
I think it means you will still be able to customize your character and choose class, it's just that they still need a rather consistent story arc to run through the game. But maybe how it runs will probably depend on your choices, the character you created and class you chosen?
