Good update but we've got a long way to go:
1. Remove fast travel terminals, replace with the cut content that is the metro system.
2. Proper car/NPC AI
3. Cars and NPCs no longer despawning when we look away, same with the vehicle we just drove and parked 5 meters behind us, now gone.
4. Proper cop system, cops driving in with cars. The elite units airdroped by ship like the ones we see with Jackie in the prologue in that intersection
5. Armor transmog, every piece of armor that we find is added to the transmog list, and then we can freely switch the appearance of any other item with another one that we found before.
6. Car customization shops, there's already plenty around the city, now give them purpose.
7. Remove the 2D cars in the distance, jesus they break immersion so badly, just do like an extremely low poly 3D model instead, better that way than watching those thing turn in a roundabout by just snapping 45 degree angles.
8. More NPC interactions and voice lines, not scripted interactions but random, like 2 NPCs bumping into each other, then they start fighting. You bumping in an NPC and he pulls a gun on you. You blocking the road for too long and they drive over you, this is cyberpunk after all not fucking GTA.
9. Faction system with faction venders with unique stuff, they give you a mission which is random, like retrieve an item from X place without being spotted. The city is the most amazing city in any game ever, USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Make the missions spawn in nearly any building, parking lot, under a bridge, in a sewer, etc, there's so many amazing places people haven't seen in this game I GUARANTEE IT, use that.
10. Give life paths some gameplay impact, like:
- Nomads can turn any car (with the right parts) into a Nomad tuned car, and I do mean ANY CAR. They can also fine tune guns for like 10% more accuracy, recoil and reload speed.
-Street kids know what's up, and in they have access to extended shop inventories when interacting with vendors, also a bargain system for trading, hell even random NPCs screaming "Hey, I have something if you're interested" you go near hit prompt button and he trades a unique blueprint or something.
-Corpos have access cards to some unique stores in the game, expensive ones where you can find unique things exclusive to them, like blueprints for some armor that have unique effects like "increases the duration of all equipped cyberware effects by 10%
11. PLEASE REWORK ALL STORY/SIDE MISSION CAR/NPC SCRIPTED ACTIONS. No more cars or npcs on rails, give them proper AI, test them since i know it will bug out, keep only those that are too hard to fix, like the drive with Panam at the power station, driving on that narrow path must be impossible for even thr best of AIs
12. Street vendors interactions, even a simple "press x to buy hot dog" at a hot dog stand, and an animation plays with you receiving a hot dog and eating it GOES A LONG WAY in terms of immersion.
13. FIX ALL THE BUGS.
