Gorilla hands doesn't do anything from description

[apeabel]

Maybe the stripped down mechanics were decided on before skill checks were finalized?
Kinda funny though, considering gorilla arms as shown in the game would easily rip open most doors.

CDPR clearly didn't even look at the pen and paper game. You don't gain stats except through modification. Stats should have maxed out at 10 and then cybernetics should have enhanced the stats. Did Mike Pondsmith show them anything about the game or did he just tell them about Night City and told them to work their "magic"?

I think the original intention was to have Gorilla arms allow for doors to be ripped open regardless of BODY stat, but then CDPR abandoned that idea and never bothered to change the description on the item

Gorilla Arms DO NOT allow you to open strength doors/windows. That's based on your stats, not the arms.

Mantis Arms DO NOT allow you to cling to walls.

Monowire DO NOT allow for remote hacks.

Basically the features that they'd gone on about for ages all got removed for the release of the game.

It's not the Gorilla Arms, it's that you have the strength to do so. The arms do nothing. That feature was removed. They're just a crappy blunt weapon at this point.

Remembering these features being exampled hurts now..
