I would prefer a separate mode all-together for something like that. Hell, I'd probably give it a shot, but I don't think it should be the default game setting.
It had me thinking, though. Sardukar mentioned a "2020" mode earlier in this thread, and I think something like that would be a great alternative to the traditional difficulty settings. For me to want to play something like that though (and I would assume I'm not alone on this), there should be a few other things to go with it.
(NOTE: I've never played Cyberpunk 2020 and I have minimal experience with other PnP games, so if any of these ideas would butcher the spirit of it, it was not intentional!)
- More than one save file. Give me at least two, so that I can play the "2020" mode as well as the standard game mode. If I have to pick and choose, I will never play anything but the standard.
- Record and save all stats of previous run-throughs, in a similar manner to how it is done in GTA V (give me all the stats!).
- It shouldn't feel "arcade-y". Maybe it won't feel this way, but I would imagine a perma-death resulting in a new character every play-through might give it this feel. To prevent that, let me save the character! Whether you want to use that character for other play-throughs or archive it forever should be your choice. This might actually fall into the same category as the "recording all stats" thing, but whatever.
- Multiplayer "2020" mode with friends? Play as if you're playing around a table, but you're doing it with friends. I don't know how this would work, or if it would work at all, I'm just throwing out suggestions at this point.
Also, I think I remember reading somewhere that CDPR plans on making a system that allows players to upload/download (both?) their actual PnP games, so I'll bet they're already thinking about things like this.
