I was thinking about when I played the beginning of TW3 and how incredibly poor Geralt was for a while. It left me questioning a lot. Isn't Geralt a Witcher that does a lot of work? A Witcher that demands money for the jobs he does? Hasn't he been doing jobs for a while now before I started playing the game? Why is he so poor that he can't even buy an apple? Does he actually suck as a Witcher? Did Vesemir take all of his money? "Geralt, we know you will just buy cards if I let you have control over the money...."
And it got me thinking about Cyberpunk. Don't we start off by picking a background? Is a Nomad, Street Kid and Corpo seriously going to be starting off with the same gear or amount of money? When I pick up the controller is V suddenly not going to have a cent to their name even if they have a Corpo background? If so, I'm hoping the story will make sense of that somehow. I really don't want it to be 'well, you gotta start with nothing so you can level up and feel super rich by the end of the game like you've accomplished something!'
What do you guys think V should start with depending on their background? Also, thoughts about how money should be handled within the game? I also found myself pondering why Geralt would be so insanely rich by the end of the game when essentially, he has done nothing different since before I started playing the game.
