Of course I had some idea how I wanted to play the character, but are you really suggesting that I should have sat there for hours upon launching the game and calculated the precise number of points to put into each attribute? Because precise numbers are important here; there are missions you can't complete and game-changing perks you can't get if you don't have the right build. Then there's the fact that I put a bunch of points into body to fuel my blade build because hey, more melee damage is good, right? This was before I realised that survivability was more important and the cool attribute gives you more of both anyway.
No, you can't realistically expect anyone to predict that.
Clever retort, but weren't you suggesting a solution in your previous reply? Implying that this is in fact a problem, at least to some people?
Bro, i went into the game on my first play through saying i want to do a katana only build. Thats all the knowledge i had, so i maxed out reflexes in the character creation because i seen blades were there. Then when i started to assign points i looked at the freaking tree so i could see what the heck it looks like.
How do you assign your skill points without spending sometime looking at the skill tree? Do you just haphazardly drop points into shit and hope it pans out? I cant think of a single rpg in my 20 years of gaming that i did not have to spend at least an hour looking at all the skills to see whats available before i start plotting my course.
Are we just so used youtube and people like fextralife holding our hands that we no longer think its necessary to do this?
A full respec would be nice. I hope they add it later on.
Not everyone wants to create a new character and try again.

I did the same thing to start with, and after I had maxed out reflexes I looked at the melee damage and health regen you get from body/athletics and thought it would be useful. I couldn't have known that the extra damage would be unnecessary or that the health regen is so small as to be useless. Then I realised that putting points into tech and cool would have been better but it was too late.
Anyway, how people put their points in the wrong place isn't really relevant, what you're saying is that if you do put your points in the wrong place you get what you deserve. "RIP to that 100-hour playthrough, you should have known better." This is a game, something we all play for fun, and having my playthrough ruined (be it my fault, the developers' or some Youtuber's) by something that could be easily remedied by the addition of a simple feature to the game is not fun. I don't know why you're so against it, it's not like it would affect your playthrough if you don't want to use such a feature.
relax, there's gonna be new tier Tabula rasa v 2.0 in next DLC that cost 300,000 eddies to respec attributes
I think that CDPR had issue with cyberware. Most of it has some requirements (eg. 12 intelligence and so on), so such full respec would need to remove those cyberwares from your body. Of course it's doable but requires more coding. Removing the level cap would be easier.
A full respec would be nice, not going to lie. Right now I am forced to rush a second character to a body level of 16 and street cred of 48(which requires A LOT of time) to get the "V for vendetta" trophy, which locks me out of the platinum trophy. It would be far better to be able to properly respec, get the missing trophy, and move on with getting the ending trophies to wrap up the platinum.
Wait, are you the kind of person that picks a warrior but wants to be a mage then complains about not being able to be a mage?
I mean the game does have a partial respec ability....they might as well go all the way and allow people to fully respec. Hard to anticipate how a specific build will play out in the game ahead of time....one skill might get loads of checks wile another is less useful than you thought it might be and being able to change your build is far more preferable than having to re-do 100+ hours worth of work. There is nothing wrong with asking for the ability to fully respec your character.
respec for attributes would break the game. you could end up with cyberware you did not have the attributes to use, but also you could just respec for whatever part of the game you need that body 20 for and then back to the min-max build you probably want to run.
so respec of attributes would make the whole atribute system mostly pointless. i dont think less consequences for decissions is what this game needs most urgently.

Obviously if you respec out of being able to use certain cyberware it should be automatically unequipped from your character and you should not be able to use it unless you meet the requirements. You pose problems that are not new and have been easily dealt with in other games before this so there is no reason Cyberpunk can't handle character respec properly without breaking the game.
One thing, now that we're leaning in that direction:
My first V I had a Street Cred of 50 before I even finished The Heist by doing assaults (had to have those Mantis Blades, then just kept going). Now, on my second V, I've noticed that all the assaults are gone, permanently. Did they Hot Fix that so that you only have a finite number of things to do, now?
If so... then I'm officially done with the game. No point in playing it if there isn't anything to do but drive my car and go to strip clubs where the strippers are dressed like bums.
I like just driving around and stopping crimes for fun and profit and murder. Or... is my game bugged (shock, I know)?

aside of the question how you get your bilogical legs back if you spec out of your cyberware, the issue that respecing attributes makes attibute checks irrelevant has not and can not be dealt with. it can only be ignored
That's not really how cyberware works. You get a cyber-arm, respec and all of a sudden you have no arm or legs and half your brain is missing because you don't have the right stats?
No, that would be dumb. The basic starting gear would have to be automatically equipped when you respec.
Damn man, you must be a really sensitive person to take this thread personally.
Here's a tissue to wipe away your tears.
